A wheelchair comprising a seat back, a seat bottom, a frame, two front wheel assemblies, two drive wheels, two wheelchair wheels, and an anti-rollback wheelchair braking system consisting of two braking units, each unit comprising a housing cylinder body cap, a housing cylinder body, a housing cylinder mounting assembly, a wheelchair mounting assembly, rotatable toggle clamp direction selection lever, an anti-rollback, one-way, brake assembly, and a toggle clamp assembly for engaging the said anti-rollback, one-way, brake assembly with a wheelchair wheel. A parking brake assembly may also be included. The invention may be manufactured and sold as a whole wheelchair assembly or a retrofit kit for standard wheelchairs.

A reciprocating drive motion wheelchair is provided. The wheelchair device includes a low-profile wheelchair that utilizes push bars pivotally connected to the wheelchair frame and operably connected to a crank bar, which run parallel to the ground and connects back to a crank on each wheel. An additional pair of wheels is disposed rearward of the drive wheels and prevents the wheelchair from tipping, thus allowing the user to utilize the push bars to move the wheelchair quickly and easily.

An automatic braking device for a manually propelled vehicle such as a standard wheelchair. The device is configured to substantially lock the wheel thus preventing the vehicle from rolling backwards when the occupantwhile attempting to exit the vehiclefor example forgets to lock a standard brake of the vehicle, thereby preventing the sometimes-serious fall of the occupant. The impeding of the backward rotation of the wheel and/or substantially preventing of the wheel from so rotating is carried out with the use of a flexible leg of the brake pad, repositionable with respect to the stationary plate of the brake pad during the wheel rotation. The device is cooperated with the wheel of the vehicle to not interfere with the intentional movement of the wheelchair in any direction, nor does it interfere with the typical locking mechanism of the standard wheelchair.

The present invention relates to a fall prevention safety wheelchair brake device, and more particularly, in a wheelchair having a safety bar for preventing a safety accident due to a fall while moving the wheelchair, to a fall prevention safety wheelchair brake device in which a brake is locked when the safety bar is not fastened, and the brake is switched from a locked state to an unlocked state when the safety bar is fastened.

There is provided a patient transport apparatus. The apparatus includes a height-adjustable assembly having a longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes a brake cable. The brake cable includes an elongate portion extending along the height-adjustable assembly and includes a slack portion. The apparatus includes a brake cable housing coupled to and axially offset from the height-adjustable assembly. The slack portion of the brake cable is enclosed within a hollow interior of the brake cable housing.

A wheelchair brake system comprises: a brake which is provided in a wheel of a wheelchair; and a brake actuation controller which connects with the brake and locks and releases the brake, wherein the brake is usually in a lock mode, but the brake actuation controller controls the brake to be switched over from the lock mode to a release mode if sensing that a user sits down on the wheelchair or the wheelchair is folded up.

The invention is directed to a hydraulic assisted machine in the form of a wheelchair that aids in handicapped personnel with many types of disabilities, aids with medical personnel, caregivers, hospitals, rehabilitation services, etc. also providing little to no assistance for the disabled. The materials used for construction of such machine is a structured based metal, or metallic alloy, rubber, plastic metal, polyester, and leather. Special features enabled in the wheelchair are: Hydraulic lift with springs, armchair remote, Lift assist tilting. This invention provides for a wheelchair including a hydraulic pump below the patient seat panel actuated using a remote or a hand gear or a push button to lift the user to their feet without limited or no help.

Wheelchair (10) with two independent driving arms (21, 21), comprising a seat (16), two rear large wheels (12, 13) and two front small wheels (14), wherein the small wheels (14) can be freely turned around a vertical axis, and a common frame (11) for holding the listed parts, and the two driving arms (21, 21) are fixed to the frame (11) by means of respective pivot bearings (25) which are fixed at a low position close to the place where the small wheels (14) are attached to the frame (11), and the driving arms (21, 21) extend till a height which is sufficiently high for the person sitting in the wheelchair (10) to hold their upper end portions easily with hands and to move them in forward-backward directions around the respective pivotal bearings, and both of the large wheels (12, 13) are equipped with respective brakes that can be operated by the driving arms (21, 21) or by respective brake handles (42) positioned on the driving arms (21, 21), and to respective lower sections of the driving arms (21, 21) respective ropes (32, 32) are connected, and the two large wheels (12, 13) comprise respective wheel hubs (30, 30) each equipped with freewheel, and to one side of each wheel hub (30, 30) a respective one of rope drums (31, 31) is attached, the rope drums (31, 31) are each provided with a spring bias, and a winding made of said rope (32, 32) comprising a predetermined number of turns is provided on the mantle of each rope drum (31, 31), wherein a predetermined displacement length of the pulling of the rope (32, 32) in forward direction results in a given turning of the associated wheel hub (30, 30) 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 (12 or 13), and the wheel hub (30, 30) comprises a release mechanism that releases the locking of the freewheel when the large wheel (12 or 13) is moved in backward direction and backward movement gets allowed.
