摘要： A wheelchair is provided, having a recline mechanism for the chair back and wherein the seat is repositioned forward in response to recline to reposition the user's weight relative to the supporting wheels. The chair is also independently equipped with a weight-shifting tilt mechanism. Moreover, a bilateral tracking mechanism (i.e., controlled motion is transmitted to both sides) is used to reposition the seat. This avoids torque due to uneven loading of the chair. Back canes of the chair and/or brackets on the chair back are slotted to enable infinite adjustment of chair arms, ventilator trays, and other accessories.

摘要： A chair for transporting a patient includes a base frame, a plurality of casters mounted to the base frame, a seat, and a push bar mounted to a back section of the seat for use when transporting the patient. A wheel is coupled to the base frame for movement between a downward brake-steer position, facilitating steering the chair during transport of the patient, and an upward neutral position. A brake mechanism brakes the casters when the brake mechanism is in a braking position and permits rotation of the casters when the brake mechanism is in a releasing position. A brake-steer shaft is coupled to the brake mechanism. Movement of the shaft moves the brake mechanism between the braking position and the releasing position. The brake-steer shaft is pivotably coupled to the base frame. The brake-steer shaft is coupled to the wheel so that rotation of the brake-steer shaft moves the wheel between the brake-steer position and the neutral position. A neutral pedal is coupled to the brake-steer shaft so that movement of the neutral pedal to a neutral position automatically rotates the brake-steer shaft to move the wheel to the neutral position.

摘要： A pivotable abduction abutment support for a wheelchair or the like is disclosed. The support of the invention has a base member adapted to be fastened under the seat of the wheelchair or the like. The support also has a rod having two opposite ends, one end being mounted about a first pivot located on the base member and having a pivoting axis parallel to a front edge of the seat, and the other end having an abutment fastened to it. The rod can pivot between an upstanding position where the rod extends upwardly and substantially vertically, and a released position where the rod extends downwardly. The support further includes a releasable locking mechanism for releasably locking the rod in the upstanding position, which consists of (i) a retaining portion for engaging the front surface of the rod, the retaining portion lying above the first pivot in order to lock the rod in the upstanding position, (ii) at least one arm extending rearwardly from the retaining portion and having a distal end mounted about a second pivot located on the base member rearwardly of the first pivot, and (iii) a spring for biasing the retaining portion against the rod. By manually pivoting the retaining portion away from the rod, the rod is released and free to pivot downwardly. When the rod is pivoted from the released position to the upstanding position, the spring automatically pivots the retaining portion towards the rod to engage the front surface of the rod and thereby lock the rod in the upstanding position. Alternatively, the retaining portion can be adapted to pivot away from the rod about a pivoting axis parallel to the one of the rod or about a vertical pivoting axis.

摘要： An improved, multi-function, comfort wheelchair is disclosed, comprised of an otherwise conventional wheelchair. With interchangeable padded seats. The leg members and associated braces of the wheelchair are adjustable in conjunction with the back member to allow the user to position himself or herself in the reclined position. Reclining of the leg members and back member is achieved via an electric motor. A control means facilitates control of the electric motor, and is located on one of the armrests. A bedpan is positioned on a rail underneath the hole in the metal unit, in a waste storage chamber. The bedpan can be emptied through a door in the front of the containment. The metal unit contains a chamber sealing means, that when activated by the control on the armrest the waste storage chamber is airtight. A filtration means is used to control odor from the use of the bedpan. This commode and leg containment slide out on rails so the wheelchair can fold up by means of a telescoping main axle. Adjustable hand rails are for people of varying heights. The headrest expands the entire width of the chair and can move backward out of the way, it can also detach or stay secure. A detachable or secure backpack or carrying means and detachable or secure multiple size cup hold are also incorporated. This multi-function, comfort wheelchair provides the comfort of padded seats, easy access to commode use without ambulating the patient to the bathroom, a chamber sealing and filtration means to lock out bad odor from the containment unit, reclining of the back and leg members for long term comfort, movability of the wheelchair to other areas, the ability to fold the wheelchair together for transport. With the rising number of people who are 50 and older the demand for a wheelchair like this is global in nature.
