An auxiliary drive device for a wheelchair has at least one freely pivotable electrically driven drive wheel and a coupling mechanism for coupling the auxiliary drive device to the wheelchair. The coupling mechanism includes a movable locking element which is movably supported in the coupling mechanism. The movable locking element can be in a locking position in which it causes locking in a positive-locking manner so that the auxiliary drive device is coupled to the wheelchair and, by operation of a handle, the locking element can be moved in a release position in which uncoupling of the auxiliary drive device from the wheelchair is possible.

A reclining wheelchair device for facilitating mobility of individuals who are laying down includes a lower frame. An upper frame is pivotably coupled to the lower frame wherein the upper frame is selectively positionable in a vertical position and a horizontal position. The upper frame extends outwardly from the lower frame wherein the upper frame is coplanar with the lower frame when the upper frame is in the horizontal position. The upper frame and the lower frame are designed to support a body of a user while the user is lying down. A seat is coupled to the lower frame to support the body of the user. A back rest is coupled to the upper frame to support the body of the user. A plurality of wheels is rotatably mounted to the lower frame to facilitate movement of the lower frame and the upper frame.
