A patient transport apparatus for transporting a patient. A seat section is pivotably coupled to a support structure about a seat axis. A front wheel is operatively attached to a front strut of the support structure, and a carrier is arranged for movement relative to the support. The carrier includes a shaft defining a wheel axis, a rear wheel supported for rotation about the wheel axis, a track having a belt, and a hub supporting the shaft and the track for concurrent pivoting movement about a hub axis defined by a upright of the support structure. The hub axis extends through a plane intersecting the seat axis, fixed relative to the upright, and defining opposing first and second sides. Movement of the carrier from a chair configuration to a stair configuration simultaneously deploys the track and moves the wheel axis from the first side to the second side.

A swing arm assembly for a foldable wheelchair consisting of a camber tube and adapters is disclosed. The adapters mount to the frame of the wheelchair and receive the ends of the camber tube. One end of the camber tube is pinned into an adapter such that it pivots. The other end is pinned in an adapter using a quick release pin. The camber tube improves the stability of the foldable wheelchair. When desired to fold the wheelchair, the quick release pin is removed and the camber tube is rotated approximately 90 degrees, thereby allowing the wheelchair to fold. The adapters may be mounted to the wheelchair frame or to stub axles if used. The swing arm assembly adds substantial stiffness and stability to a folding wheelchair.

A carrier element is configured to securely store a foldable wheelchair that is mountable in an ambulette or other vehicle without interfering with passenger space in the vehicle.

A support unit for a modular head support assembly having a right support post and a left support post, said support unit comprising: a support body; a right attachment element and a left attachment element configured for articulation with said right support post and said left support post, respectively, said right attachment element and said left attachment element being disposed at opposite sides of the support body; and an adjustment mechanism configured for selectively adjusting the position of the right attachment element and the left attachment element with respect to each other, at least from an extended position towards a retracted position.

A patient transport apparatus for transporting patients in a stair configuration and in a chair configuration. A multiple mode handle assembly is provided for user engagement, and is movable between a first handle configuration, a second handle configuration, and a third handle configuration.

A rear side entry type wheelchair includes a driving device comprising a pair of driving frames provided on left and right sides thereof and driving wheels provided in the driving frames, respectively, a seat device including a pair of horizontal frames coupled to the driving device and saddles configured to be rotated about a vertical shaft on surfaces of the horizontal frames, a back support device including a back support opening/closing interworker provided on a rear side of the seat device and a back support provided in the back support opening/closing interworker configured to be foldable so as to be opened and closed, and a handle device provided on a front side of the seat device.

A modular seat apparatus includes a base cushion and a back cushion that includes a plurality of segments defining a longitudinal length of the back cushion. The back cushion is pivotably coupled to the base cushion such that the back cushion is oriented at an angle relative to the base cushion. The plurality of segments is configured to translate in response to the back cushion pivoting relative to the base cushion such that the longitudinal length of the back cushion decreases as the angle increases and the longitudinal length of the back cushion increases as the angle decreases.

A motorized wheelchair controlled by electronic control, equipped with a structure adapted to receive a series of quick adjustments and an off-road kit to allow its locomotion through differentiated, rough and inhospitable terrains. Said wheelchair is formed by a tubular metallic structure composed of a seat structure, backrest structure, armrest and lower support structure equipped with a front wheel and rear wheel. The off-road kit consists of a pair of rear wheels with off-road or mixed tires equipped with their own rotating motor, and a pair of front wheels with off-road or mixed tires, being such wheels engaged and fixed to the chair, easily and quickly replacing the original ones.
