Filed:
Mar 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/817894
Inventors:

Center-Of-Gravity Tilt-In-Space Wheelchair
View pageUS Patent:
20070085301, Apr 19, 2007
Filed:
Dec 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/315443
Inventors:
Mervyn Watkins - Rancho Palos Verdes CA, US
International Classification:
B62B 7/00
US Classification:
280642000
Abstract:
A center-of-gravity tilt-in-space wheelchair includes footrests extended to armrest height making the footrests part of the folding base of the wheelchair. This is accomplished by extended members which connect the seat and back to the footrests. The extended members thus rotate about the approximate center of gravity of the wheelchair occupant seated in the wheelchair making tilting and folding of the wheelchair lighter and easier. The upper portion of the wheelchair, which includes the seat and back, can be quickly and easily separated from the lower base which includes the footrests as an integral part.

Appl. No.:
5/828483
Inventors:
Mervyn M. Watkins - Rancho Palos Verdes CA
International Classification:
A47C 444
US Classification:
297 45
Abstract:
An improved folding chair structure having a pair of parallel frame tubes and a pair of parallel support tubes that are laterally foldable, each pair held in respective parallel relationships by front and rear x-braces, and also included is a pair of parallel seat tubes the rear end of which being pivotally attached to a fixed intermediate point along an associated support tube, the structure further including a separate guide movably mounted along intermediate portions of each of the frame tubes, the guides being pivotally attached to the upper ends of associated brace members of both the front and rear x-braces and also to an associated one of the seat tubes whereby the collapsing of the structure by moving the parallel frame, support and seat tubes together causes the guides to move upwardly while the angle between the planes defined by the respective frame and support tubes and between the planes defined by the respective support and seat tubes, decreases.
