Fastening assembly and walker comprising the same
The present invention provides a walker including a fastening assembly. The walker has a connection part including two brace units, the fastening assembly assembled with the two brace units, and two side frames mounted to the connection part. The fastening assembly has a first baffle having a pivot end, a second baffle having a clasping portion, a curved wall having at least one plug and connecting the first baffle and the second baffle, and a clasping component pivotally mounted to the pivot end and selectively engaged with the clasping portion. The at least one plug of the fastening assembly is inserted into and fixed by the two brace units; and the clasping component is engaged with the clasping portion for further enhancing stability of the connection part and the fastening assembly to prevent the fastening assembly from falling off.
1. A fastening assembly comprising:
a first baffle having a pivot end;
a second baffle being parallel to the first baffle and having an external sidewall opposite to the first baffle and a clasping portion formed on the external sidewall;
a curved wall comprising
an internal face;
two ends respectively connecting to the first baffle and the second baffle; and
at least one plug formed on the internal face and located between the first baffle and the second baffle, the at least one plug being parallel to the first baffle and the second baffle; and
a clasping component pivotally connecting to the pivot end of the first baffle and including a clasping structure selectively engaging with the clasping portion of the second baffle;
wherein a distance between the first baffle and the second baffle is smaller than a width of the first baffle or a width of the second baffle.
2. The fastening assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the clasping portion of the second baffle is a bump; and the clasping structure of the clasping component is a hook.
3. A walker comprising:
a connection part comprising two brace units, each brace unit including
a joint portion, the joint portions of the two brace units selectively attached to each other; and
a mounting portion having an upper end and a lower end;
the fastening assembly as claimed in claim 1 longitudinally inserted into the joint portions of the two brace units, whereby the two brace units are attached to each other selectively; and
two side frames respectively mounted to the mounting portions of the two brace units.
4. The walker as claimed in claim 3 , wherein one of the joint portions of the two brace units is mounted on the other joint portion; the at least one plug of the fastening assembly is longitudinally inserted into both the joint portions of the two brace units; the curved wall of the fastening assembly is attached to a top surface of said one of the joint portions; the clasping component is selectively attached to a bottom surface of said one of the joint portions; and the clasping structure of the clasping component selectively engaging with the clasping portion of the second baffle.
5. The walker as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each side frame comprises
a front leg pivotally mounted to the lower end of the mounting portions of a corresponding one of the two brace units;
a back leg disposed opposite to the front leg and having a top end;
a connecting member joined to the front leg and the back leg; and
a U-shaped frame having
a front end pivotally mounted to the upper end of the mounting portions of said corresponding one of the two brace units; and
a back end mounted to the top end of the back leg.
6. The walker as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each side frame comprises
a front leg pivotally mounted to the lower end of the mounting portions of a corresponding one of the two brace units;
a back leg disposed opposite to the front leg and having a top end;
a connecting member joined to the front leg and the back leg; and
a U-shaped frame having
a front end pivotally mounted to the upper end of the mounting portions of said corresponding one of the two braces units; and
a back end mounted to the top end of the back leg.
