There is described a wheelchair comprising a wheelchair frame, a pair of drive wheels configured to contact a ground surface when the wheelchair is in use, each drive wheel rotating about an axis of rotation, at least one front wheel mounted to a front-end portion of the wheelchair frame, and an anti-tip assembly mounted to a rear-end portion of the wheelchair frame, which anti-tip assembly includes at least one pivot arm that is supported onto the rear-end portion of the wheelchair frame so as to be pivotable with respect to the wheelchair frame about a pivot axis. The pivot arm includes a drive wheel attachment point coinciding with the axis of rotation and providing attachment of at least one of the drive wheels and a wheelchair frame attachment point coinciding with the pivot axis and providing attachment of the pivot arm to the rear-end portion of the wheelchair frame. The anti-tip assembly further comprises a rear wheel that is provided at a distal end of the pivot arm, rearward of the drive wheels, and that is configured to contact the ground surface when the wheelchair is in use. The anti-tip assembly is configured to allow the wheelchair frame to tilt backwards into a predetermined stable titled position with the at least one front wheel in a raised position above the ground surface, while the drive wheels and the rear wheel remain in contact with the ground surface. In one embodiment, the pivot arm is attached, via the wheelchair frame attachment point, to a bracket of the wheelchair frame, which bracket is provided with an arcuate opening configured to allow passage of a drive wheel axis of the drive wheel, which drive wheel axis is coupled to the pivot arm, via the drive wheel attachment point, the arcuate opening defining a predetermined range of pivoting movement of the pivot arm with respect to the wheelchair frame.

A lever assembly for a wheelchair having a wheel lock system with two wheel lock assemblies. Each wheel lock assembly including a wheel lock and an actuator with an actuation cable that controllably moves a lock-pin between a locking and an unlocking position relative to the wheelchair wheels. The lever assembly has a body and a lever, with the body attached to the wheelchair and both actuation cables, and the lever attached to and controlling both actuation cables to manipulate the lock-pins to engage or disengage the wheelchair wheels. The lever is adapted for use by disabled occupants.

A wheel lock device includes a base, a first arm, and a second arm. A base/first-arm mating portion includes a base/first-arm mating portion cross-sectional profile that changes along a length of the base/first-arm mating portion. A base/second-arm mating portion includes a base/second-arm mating portion cross-sectional profile that changes along a length of the base/second-arm mating portion. The first arm includes a first-arm/base mating portion that includes a first-arm/base mating portion cross-sectional profile that changes along a length of the first-arm/base mating portion in a direction toward the first-arm first aperture in a manner complementary to the base/first-arm mating portion cross-sectional profile. The second arm includes a second-arm/base mating portion that includes a second-arm/base mating portion cross-sectional profile that changes along a length of the second-arm/base mating portion in a direction toward the second-arm first aperture in a manner complementary to the base/second-arm mating portion cross-sectional profile.

A motorized accessory for a wheelchair includes a housing having a top end and a bottom end, a handlebar assembly secured to the top end of the housing, and a wheel assembly coupled to the lower end of the housing. The motorized accessory also includes an electric motor coupled to the wheel assembly that is configured to drive the wheel assembly. In addition, the motorized accessory includes a tow bar assembly having a proximate end coupled to the housing and extending outward to a free distal end, where the free distal end is configured to be removably coupled to the wheelchair. The motorized accessory is configured to latch to the manually driven wheelchair in order to convert the manually driven wheelchair into a motorized wheelchair.

An apparatus includes a frame assembly configured to be selectively connectable with a seat assembly of a wheelchair assembly once the seat assembly is selectively disconnected and removed from the wheelchair assembly. The frame assembly is also configured to be selectively connectable with spaced-apart wheel assemblies of the wheelchair assembly once the spaced-apart wheel assemblies are selectively disconnected and removed from the wheelchair assembly.

A medical chair includes a base, a seat section, and a leg rest pivotally mounted relative to the seat and adapted to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The chair further includes a scissor mechanism coupled to the leg rest to extend and contract the leg rest and an actuator mounted on one end relative to the seat section and having an extendible driving end coupled to the leg rest wherein when the extendible driving end extends the extendible driving end pivots the leg rest about the pivot axis and extends the scissor mechanism.

A rollator for mobility assistance to a user is provided. The rollator includes a chassis foldable in a compacted configuration, wheels rotatably mounted to the chassis, wheel braking assemblies engageable with the wheels, and a pair of handgrips mountable to the chassis and operatively connected to the chassis. Both handgrips have to be configured in a handgrip displacement configuration to configure the wheel braking assemblies into a displacement configuration of the wheels and wherein both wheel braking assemblies are simultaneously in the displacement configuration. The rollator can include a seat assembly which can be configured in a raised configuration and a seated configuration. In the seated configuration, a pressure equal to or greater than a seat pressure threshold has to be applied on the seat for the wheel braking assemblies to be configured in the displacement configuration.

A wheelchair comprises a frame and two main wheels each coupled to a hand rim for actuating the wheels in both directions of rotation and for braking.

Wheelchair with two independent driving arms fixed to the frame by pivot bearings at a low position. The driving arms extend to a sufficient height for the user to hold their upper portions and to move them in forward-backward directions around the pivotal bearings. Ropes are connected to the lower sections of the driving arms. Two large wheels have wheel hubs equipped with freewheel, and each wheel hub have a rope drums attached with a spring bias, and a winding made of rope. Pulling a the rope in forward direction results in turning the wheel hub in forward direction, and when the rope drum (31, 31′) is turned in the other direction the freewheel releases the connection towards the large wheel. The wheel hub comprises a release mechanism that releases the freewheel when the large wheel is moved in backward direction and backward movement gets allowed.

The wheelchair includes a seating portion, body frames that support the seating portion, wheels that are rotatably supported by the body frames, an engaging portion, a left brake that brakes a left rear wheel, and a coupling portion that couples the engaging portion and the left brake to each other. The engaging portion is capable of switching between an engagement attitude for engaging a vehicle body member that forms an opening of a vehicle and a disengagement attitude for releasing the engagement with the vehicle body member. The coupling portion transmits the movement of the engaging portion to the left brake when the engaging portion makes an attitude change from the disengagement attitude to the engagement attitude. This operates the left brake when the attitude of the engaging portion switches from the disengagement attitude to the engagement attitude and brakes the left rear wheel.
