    Abstract: An improved, multi-function, comfort wheelchair is disclosed, comprised of an otherwise conventional wheelchair. With interchangeable padded seats. The leg members and associated braces of the wheelchair are adjustable in conjunction with the back member to allow the user to position himself or herself in the reclined position. Reclining of the leg members and back member is achieved via an electric motor. A control means facilitates control of the electric motor, and is located on one of the armrests. A bedpan is positioned on a rail underneath the hole in the metal unit, in a waste storage chamber. The bedpan can be emptied through a door in the front of the containment. The metal unit contains a chamber sealing means, that when activated by the control on the armrest the waste storage chamber is airtight. A filtration means is used to control odor from the use of the bedpan. This commode and leg containment slide out on rails so the wheelchair can fold up by means of a telescoping main axle.
