Abstract
A foldable walker is described which includes a bridge member comprising an elongated rod which is mounted at its first end to a side member of the walker and received at its second end through an aperture in a locking member carried on the front of the walker. The elongated rod has a recessed portion near its second end. The locking member is adapted to receive the second end of the elongated rod and engage or selectively dis-engage said rod in response to movement of a button member at the top of the locking member.
