A wheelchair adornment system includes a wheelchair has a pair of wheels, a pair of arm rests, a pair of leg supports, a chair and a backrest. A plurality of guards is provided and each of the guards is removably coupled to a selected point on the wheelchair. Thus, each of the guards may conceal associated parts of a user's body. A pair of fenders is provided and each of the fenders is coupled to the wheelchair. Each of the fenders is positioned over an associated one of the wheels. A canopy is removably coupled to the wheelchair configured to shade the user.

A wheelchair W includes: a column shaft (50) extending from the rear portion of a front fork (51) and turnably supported by a vehicle-body frame (2); a rocking bar (81a) that is rockably attached to the vehicle-body frame (2) and rocks according to a force applied by a rider; and a link mechanism (82) that joins the rocking bar (81a) and the column shaft (50) and turns the column shaft (50) according to rock of the rocking bar (81a).

The present invention relates to a wheelchair improvement kit and a manual wheelchair. The improvement kit includes an anti-tip device including a pair of multifunction tube assemblies. Each multifunction tube assembly includes a mount tube configured for pivotally mounting one on each side of the wheelchair, a slide tube slidably engaged to the mount tube where both ends of the slide tube extend beyond the mount tube, a slide tube brake engaging or releasing the position of the slide tube relative to the mount tube, and an extendable pole inserted into the top of the slide tube. The top of the extendable pole is fitted with a hand grip. The anti-tip device further includes a pair of guide tubes configured for mounting one on each side of the wheelchair. When the multifunction tube assembly is used as the anti-tip device, the slide tube passes through the guide tube.

Systems and methods of wheelchair systems having a companion control mode are disclosed. The wheelchair system includes a companion and a wheelchair. The wheelchair includes one or more wheels, at least one actuator coupled to the one or more wheels, a processing device, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium includes one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to determine the companion, generate a companion profile based on the determined companion, determine a movement of the companion, and actuate the at least one actuator to drive the one or more wheels to follow the movement of the companion. The actuation of the at least one actuator to drive the one or more wheels to follow the movement of the companion is an autonomous control.

A mobility assistance apparatus includes first and second frames positioned on left and right sides of a user; a hinge arm mechanism coupled to the first and second frames; and a securing unit or a walking seat coupled to the frames to transfer at least a portion of the user's body weight from the legs and to transfer weight through the user's hip or pelvis to the first and second frame enabling the user to stand or work for an extended period without requiring the user's arms to hold the frame.
