A conveyance to carry humans, such as a wheelchair, is described having levers on each side of the wheelchair that are manually moved forward and backward to propel the conveyance. The user is able to shift into forward, reverse or neutral, brake, and change mechanical advantage (gear ratio), all this without removing the user's hands from the drive levers.

An adjustable seat comfort wheelchair for maximizing comfort and convenience includes a chair base, a chair seat with a chair back, a headrest, a pair of armrests, a seat bottom, and a footrest. An electric drive train is coupled to the chair base and comprises: a battery compartment housing a rechargeable battery, a motor that is in operational communication with the rechargeable battery, a drive chain coupled to the motor, a pair of rear wheels that are driven by the motor coupled to the drive chain, a steering linkage, a pair of front wheels, a steering actuator, a control module, a lift piston, and a control stick that is in operational communication with the control module to operate the motor, the steering actuator, and the lift piston. The lift piston lifts the seat bottom to a lifted position to assist the user in standing.

An assistance chair assembly includes a base and a chair is positioned on the base. Two upright boards are perpendicularly connected to the top of the base, and two extension portions extend from the rear end of the base. The chair includes two front legs and two rear legs. The front legs each have a curve slots which allows the chair to be is pivotable about the bolts extending through the rear legs of the chair. The weight center of the chair is not moved beyond the two extensions portions of the base when the chair is pivoted toward the two extensions portions.

A hinge assembly includes a first hinge member including a first outer finger defining a first aperture, the first aperture including a first circumferential tapered surface, a second hinge member including a second outer finger defining a second aperture, the second aperture including a second circumferential tapered surface, and a fastener assembly including a first hub, a second hub, and a fastener, the first hub including a circumferential tapered surface that is complimentary to the first circumferential tapered surface, and the second hub including a circumferential tapered surface that is complimentary to the second circumferential tapered surface, the fastener assembly is configured to connect the first hinge member to the second hinge member.

The apparatuses and methods of making and using the same are directed to bathing apparatus to support an object while bathing the object with a fluid. The bathing apparatus may comprise a support assembly constituting a support structure of the apparatus; a support surface to support the object, the support surface supported by the support portion; and a fluid catch disposed on at least three sides of the support surface, the fluid catch serving as a basin for the fluid in such manner to contain the fluid separate from the support surface.

A wheelchair includes a pivotable mechanism. The pivotable mechanism allows for a pivoting movement about an axis defined by an interface between adjacent components. These components may be (a) a seat member and a back member, (b) a seat member and a footrest, (c) a foot rest and a footplate support, (d) a baseplate and a footplate, or (e) a back member and a headrest.

A wheelchair head support. The wheelchair head support may have a first and a second support pole connected to a wheelchair in a vertical position. A flexible panel may be connected to the support poles. The panel may further include an attached pillow which adds extra support. The wheelchair head support may attach to the wheel chair using a set of friction connectors or with a set of clamps or any other suitable fasteners.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.
