  • Patent number: 5333887
    Abstract: A combination wheelchair/gurney comprising a three-part seat/gurney bed assembly, hingedly connected and pivotally mounted on a rigid metal rectangular frame, having two large side wheels for patient self-locomotion and two front caster wheels, and a seat support/locking position mechanism which carries most of the seat weight and is pivotally mounted to the frame bottom. The wheelchair converts to a gurney by an attendant pulling back and downwards on the top back of the chair in a levered action, causing the seat/bed assembly to pivot at the top of the frame and raising it horizontally to the top of the frame to form a gurney bed. The gurney bed is at the approximate height of a typical hospital bed, making it easy to move a patient from the bed to the gurney. Side-rails attached to the two top sides of the frame, pivot up and are locked in position for gurney travel security.
