DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRESENTATION OUTLINE


New Dolomite® Jazz provides a series of innovative features combined with a stylish design allowing for a strong and differentiated marketing campaign versus the numerous X-folding rollators.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > BACKGROUND


The product is primarily positioned in the high-end part of the private pay rollator segment.

Jazz’ target group is active people with minor issues with mobility or stability. Typically, severely disabled users are not using the Jazz. The application is rather extended stability to compensate for geriatric handicaps and to provide a moving bag for shopping and groceries.

Coordination, upper and lower body stability is still on a reasonable level. The user usually uses a minor walking aid (mainly canes) besides the rollator, especially inside buildings. The product is mainly used outside the living environment (80%), not as much indoors (20%).Variations can occur in different countries. Due to the remaining level of activity the user often travels by bus or car to various (short distance) destinations.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > POSITIONING & TARGET GROUP


The new frame with a side to side folding mechanism clearly differentiates Jazz from the abundance of X-foldable rollators on the market and from the previous Jazz.

Folds easily by pulling the clearly visible folding strap in the middle of the seat plate and by pressing the push handles inwards.

Seat plate and basket fold along with the Rollator.

Rollator can be lifted by picking it up from the seat plate without it folding. There is also no finger entrapment possible when you push the seat plate downwards to unfold.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > SIDE FOLDING FRAME


Ergonomic frame design allowing a natural walking position inside the rollator.

Gait area on new Jazz is slightly bigger than old Jazz (214 in² vs 203 in²) but the main improvement on the walking space is related to the positioning of the push handles.

Distance between the seat plate and the back side of the push handles has increased on the new Jazz (+ 7cm), which significantly reduces the possibility of bumping the knees against the seat during walking.

The fork ratio (large front fork, small rear fork) makes it easier to walk in and outside the rollator.

Gait area new Jazz= 12.5” x 17.16”= 214 in²Basket area new Jazz= 8.5” x 17.16”= 145.8 in²

Extremely efficient and easy to use braking system:

Running brake: force required 40N Parking brake: force required 35N

Light and easily usable for users with a slight disability: brake handle is shaped slightly outwards for easier manipulating and better access.

Braking cables are fulling integrated into the frame providing a clean look and also prevent from catching objects found outside or in the home.

DOLOMITE® JAZZ > PRODUCT FEATURES > BRAKE SYSTEM


The new Jazz introduces a non linear braking system for ease of use and effectiveness. The braking force that needs to be applied by the user remains the same both at the beginning and at the end of the braking cycle. Here is how exactly:

The principle of a lever states that by reducing the short arm on a lever (and maintaining the input force), the output force increases.

During braking, once the brake lever is almost completely up, and the brake pad starts touching the wheel, a higher output force is needed to fully apply the brakes because there is more resistance (brake pad touching wheel).

Instead of increasing the input force (= user pushing harder on brake lever), the distance of the short arm is being decreased at the end of the braking, resulting in a higher output force = non linear braking system.

Distance short arm starts to decrease here
