according to an embodiment of an aspect of the present invention , there is illustrated a foldable , adjustable wheeled walker device comprising a lightweight tubular frame having two rear legs wherein each leg is terminated with single wheels ; and two front legs wherein each leg is terminated with pivoting dual wheels ; two adjustable handle assemblies extending from the rear legs ; and at least one removable stability member adapted to engage the light weight tubular frame . one separate , curved cross - brace on each side of the walker provides a structural link between the front and rear legs of the frame when in use . folding of the frame is achieved by disconnecting one end of each cross - brace , then allowing the rear and front legs to freely fold into each other about the pivot . two adjustable handle assemblies include a width , vertical and depth adjustment means . the adjustable handle assemblies are provided to extend upwardly and parallel to the rear legs , then bend downwardly to provide a length of tubing that is generally horizontal . adjustable hand grips allow the handle location to be adjusted to meet the needs of the user . an adjustable , flexible rear support or strap connects the handles to provide a contact surface at or above the hips of the user . this support or strap is important to limit the child &# 39 ; s rearward placement within the walker and cue the child to maintain an upward posture while ambulating . according to another aspect of the present invention , the removable adjustable stability member is a removable , weighted stability cuff which may be provided on each side of the front support tube near the pivoting front wheels . according to an embodiment of this aspect , the cuff can be fabric with a pair of straps that holds the cuff securely and circumferentially using hook and loop fasteners , for example . the weighted stability cuff contains three individual , elasticized pockets for up to three counterweights , for example . each cuff supplied with three weights provides the maximum weight and rearward stability for the child user . the weights may be removed from the cuffs in pairs to reduce the stability and enhance the maneuverability of the walker to match the abilities of the child . according to yet another aspect of the present invention , a soft fabric backpack may be removably attached between rear legs of the walker . the backpack preferably has various compartments for storage of school supplies , toys , and snacks . it should be understood that the weight of the frame , wheels , attachment hardware and backpack of the walker according to an embodiment of the present invention are preferably selected to provide the lowest strength to weight ratio possible using conventional materials to minimize cost . since the weights of the structural components are relatively low , the stability cuff weights needed to achieve the desired stability and handling of the walker are also relatively low . the overall weight of the walker with the full weighted cuff remains manageable by caregivers who must fold and lift the walker for storage . referring now to the drawings , fig1 a and fig1 b shows the invention in its position for use as a walker . the device has a front ( main ) support tube 1 that is pivotably connected to a rear ( cross ) assembly 2 through a main bracket 6 . the front support tube 1 is fixed in its in - use position to the rear leg assembly by a radial cross brace 3 located on both sides of the walker . the brace 3 is mechanically fastened to the front support tube by a fastener 20 on one end , and a threaded hand knob 17 at the other end . the threaded end of the hand knob 17 runs through a hole in the end of the cross brace 3 . the knob is captivated on one side of the cross brace by the knob and on the other side by a retaining ring . the end of the front support tube 1 is terminated on both ends by a pivotable dual front wheel assembly 11 by means of a specially design adapter 14 ( shown in fig1 ). the adapter 14 is a bar that locates within and is mechanically attached to the tubular ends of the front support tube 1 and the tubular housings of the dual front wheel assemblies 11 . similarly , the lower end of the cross tube assembly 2 is terminated by a single , non - pivotable rear wheel assembly 12 . the terminal end of each of two handle assemblies 4 locates slidably within a handle extension receiver 5 that is connected to the rear tube assembly 2 by two dual tube split clamps 9 on each side . the height of the handle assembly 4 is incrementally adjustable upwardly or downwardly via a removable double ball lock pin 21 . in its in - use position , the pin 21 connects the handle assembly 4 to the handle extension receiver 5 through matched holes in these components the pin 21 is inserted into a single through hole in the extension receiver 5 and one of a series of through holes in the handle assembly 4 . it is the matching hole selected in the handle assembly 4 that affixes the handle height . a handle extension stopper 8 prevents the handle assembly 4 from sliding down into handle extension 5 when the ball lock pin 21 is removed . the pin 21 is removed either to adjust the height of the handle assembly 4 relative to the handle extension receiver 5 , or , if necessary , to remove the handle assembly 4 from the receiver 5 before folding the walker for storage . a flexible rear back strap 7 is removably affixed to the inside of and adjusts in height with the handle assemblies 4 . further , the rear back strap 7 may be removed and reattached horizontally relative to the position of handle assemblies 4 . as an example , a walker according to this embodiment , in this case particularly directed to a child user , may have the following approximate dimensions : a = 16 to 25 ″; b = 25 to 27 ″; c = 13 to 15 ″; and d = 21 to 23 ″. fig2 shows the configuration of the main support tube 1 . the tube is bent in a u - shape configuration to outline the perimeter of the walker . small diameter , thin - walled aluminum tubing , for example , with threaded rivet - style nuts are affixed to minimize the contribution of this member to the weight of the walker and reduce the likelihood of hand injuries caused by protruding fasteners . for example , ¾ ″ od × 0 . 065 wall 6061 - t6 aluminum tubing can be used . fig3 illustrates the rear assembly 2 comprising tube weldment that incorporates the cross support tube 23 and cross tube uprights 25 . aluminum upright end fittings 27 are each pinned with a coil spring pin 29 to terminate the ends of upright tubes 25 . the end fittings each accept a rear wheel assembly 12 axle at the lower end , and a pivot axis fastener ( 19 in fig1 b ) at the upper end . the cross brace 3 , shown in fig4 , is a structurally strong member that connects and bears the separation loading of the front support tube 1 and the cross tube assembly 2 . the brace 3 is configured to run tangentially to both connecting members when the walker is in its in - use position to avoid contact with the child &# 39 ; s legs and feet during use . as an example , the cross brace 3 can be fabricated with stainless steel 302 . fig5 shows the right hand version of the handle assembly 4 . a handle extension 31 is the member that connects to the handle extension receiver 5 described previously . the handle extension 31 is bent in two planes — one bend to position the tube inwardly to place the hand grip 33 in close proximity to the child , and another bend to position the handle extension 31 in an orientation that is generally parallel to the ground . the handle 35 is telescopically and removably connected to the horizontal end of the handle extension tube 31 by a pair of fasteners 36 and threaded back strap retainers 37 . incremental displacement of the handle 35 is achieved by removing the fasteners 36 , sliding the handle 35 axially along the tubular end of the handle extension tube 31 and relocating the fasteners 36 through the mating holes . the two back strap retainers 37 have a flanged end to retain one end of the rear back strap 7 through its adjustment holes . the other end of the rear back strap 7 is connected to a pair of retainers on the inside surface of the other handle . a soft , rubberized handgrip 33 is located axially over the handle 35 to provide a comfortable support surface for the child &# 39 ; s hand . a plastic ball 39 terminates the handle 35 to cue the child as to the location of his / her hand on the handgrip 33 . the tubular configuration of the handle extension receiver 5 is shown in fig6 . at the upper end of the tube has a sawcut end with a stress relief hole at its root . the upper dual split clamp 9 locates over this end such that as the clamp is tightened , the extension receiver 5 elastically deflects to eliminate the clearance between the handle assembly 4 and the extension receiver 5 . this feature improves the responsiveness of the walker to movement at the handle by eliminating the play between the handle assembly 4 and the handle extension receiver 5 . for example , the handle extension receiver 5 can be fabricated from ⅞ ″ od × 0 . 049 wall 6061 - t6 aluminum tubing . the left hand version of the main bracket 6 is displayed in fig7 . the main bracket 6 is made from an acetyl plastic , for example , to provide strength and lightness for the assembly . the cross bore in the bracket is sized to locate snuggly over the front support tube 1 . this is achieved by providing an undersized lead in that allows the bracket 6 to snap securely onto the front support tube 1 . since the plastic has excellent bearing characteristics , no additional bushings are provided to support the main pivot fastener 19 . fig8 shows the rear back strap 7 with adjustment holes 41 for connection to the back strap retainers 37 of the handle assemblies 4 . the rear back strap 7 can be an extendable thermoplastic rubber that provides strength and a firm contact surface at the level of the child user &# 39 ; s hips . for example , the rear back strap 7 can be santoprene ™ extrusion . incremental horizontal translation of the rear back strap 7 is achieved by pulling the strap ends away from the handle 35 such that the two back strap retainers 37 are pulled through an adjacent pair of adjustment holes 41 . another pair of adjacent adjustment holes 41 is relocated over the back strap retainers 37 and stretched elastically over the flange of the back strap retainers to secure the strap to the handle 35 . fig9 displays the dual split clamp 9 that connects the handle extension receiver 5 to the cross support tube assembly 2 . a through hole in one half of the clamp and a threaded hole in the other half allows a fastener to apply gripping forces simultaneously to the handle extension tube 5 and cross support tube assembly 2 . the rear wheel assembly 12 is shown in fig1 . this configuration is for the right hand rear wheel . the left hand version is the mirror image of this arrangement . the rear wheel 43 is rotationally affixed through a shoulder screw axle 45 to the upright end fitting 47 at the end of the cross support tube assembly 2 . it is preferable that the rear wheels of the walker be equipped with an anti - rollback means , i . e . only forward movement is allowed . for example , an anti - rollback finger 49 can be pivotably connected to the cross support tube assembly 2 and rests freely on the studded hub of the wheel 43 . as the wheel 43 rotates rearward ( i . e ., moves clockwise in the side view ), the finger 49 rotates downward ( counterclockwise ) between two studs . since the anti - rollback finger 49 reaches its limit of rotation , the wheel 43 locks and cannot continue to move in a clockwise motion . as the walker moves forward , the wheel 43 rotates in a counterclockwise orientation and the finger 49 rotates about the pivot in a clockwise motion . the anti - rollback finger rests on the crest of the studs as the wheel turns , thereby providing unhindered motion of the wheel 43 . fig1 displays the front and side views of the wheel adapter 14 . fig1 illustrates the stability cuff in its in - use position as secured to the front support tube 1 . fig1 shows the open view of the outside surface of the removable , fabric stability cuff . the outer skin is preferably non - expandable to retain the shape of the cuff when wrapped around the end front support tube 1 . two nylon retention straps with hook and loop ends and d - style rings provide a removable , but secure attachment to the front support tube 1 . fig1 displays the inner surface of the stability cuff and the pocket that retains the counterweight . according to this particular embodiment , three pockets are provided — one for each weight . the pocket envelops and retains the weight within the stretchy inner skin . the pockets each have a slot at one end to allow the weight to be readily inserted into or removed from the stability cuff . fig1 shows the three weights that are used within the cuff to provide stability adjustment to the walker . adding weights to the cuff increases the rearward and lateral stability of the walker . removing weights from the stability cuff reduces the rearward and lateral stability , and thereby increases the maneuverability of the walker . preferably , two weighted stability cuffs are located at the terminating ends of the front support tube 1 . as an example , each weighted cuff can be 1 . 5 pounds , providing a total addition of 3 pounds to the front end . if the walker itself is 6 . 5 pounds , for example , which is achievable if high strength , low weight structural components are implemented as described above , the addition of 3 pounds to the front end would yield a significant difference in the stability of the walker . other configurations are possible . for example , one or more stability cuffs could be provided at the terminating ends of the cross support tube assembly 2 to increase the forward stability of the walker , additional pockets could be provided to increase the ballasting of the walker , and the cuff could be slidably attached to the front support tube 1 and moved up the length of the tube to fine tune the stability of the walker . other locations of the counterweights could be used in alternative embodiments . for example , removable weights could be placed in the backpack to increase the rearward stability of the walker . in sum , the removable weighted stability cuffs enable quick and easy modification of the stability characteristics of the walker . fig1 illustrates the backpack in its in use position on the walker . the backpack can be removably attached between the horizontal member of the front support tube 1 and the cross tube of the cross support tube assembly 2 . the upper strap wraps around the upper front support tube and connects to a mating hook and loop fastener strip sewn on the backpack . a lower strap wraps around the rear support tube to provide lower securement for the bag . according to one configuration , the flap of the backpack faces toward the child user to provide easy access to the internal contents . compartments within the bag and bilateral mesh drink holders provide storage for school supplies , school notes , toys , snacks , and drinking boxes . the center of mass of the backpack is located inside the axles of the rear wheels to prevent a loss of rearward stability as the weight of bag contents increases . the embodiment of the present invention described above addresses many of the shortcomings of existing products . in particular , the walker device of the present invention may comprise one or more of up to seven features typically not found on commercial walkers , including : ( a ) a light tubular frame configured to ease transfers and improve access to tables in areas frequented by preschoolers and primary school - age children ; ( b ) a handle that is adjustable in height , width and depth to adapt to child sizing , growth , and mobility needs ; ( c ) a flexible back strap that can be adjusted in height and depth to provide circumferential contact of the lower back ; ( d ) one or more weighted stability cuffs removably connected to positions on the walker to adjust the handling and stability of the walker ; ( e ) a tangential brace affixed to strengthen the tubular frame when in use , and pivotable to allow the frame to be folded for storage ; ( f ) two main brackets that interconnect key structural members of the walker ; and ( g ) a compartmentalized , storage backpack to carry children &# 39 ; s toys , snacks , and school supplies . it should be expressly understood that the dimensions and configuration illustrated in the figures are provided by way of example only and the walker could be easily modified or adjusted by a person skilled in the art , depending on the particular application . it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other variations of the one or more embodiments described herein are possible and may be practised without departing from the scope of the present invention .
