Abstract

See full text

A locking assembly for use with a foldable walker having a pair of side frames, each having a tubular front leg concentrically contained within an end sleeve of a cross brace, includes a housing secured to each of the side frame front legs. Each housing closely receives a locking pin extending through a first bore. The locking pin is movable between first and second positions and includes a locking end which extends into an aperture of a lock plate connected to the end sleeve of the cross brace. An actuating lever pivotally connected to the housing includes a force applying handle which, when depressed, causes the lever to rotate about a pivot point and raise the locking pin from the lock plate aperture thus allowing the side frame to rotate with respect to the cross brace.
