  • Patent number: 7455362
    Abstract: An adjustable motion wheel chair having a mobility base for supporting a back panel and a seat panel. A pair of control plates are mounted to the mobility base and positioned laterally across the mobility base in spaced apart parallel relation. The back panel includes a pair of pivot pins located on opposite lateral edges of the back panel which are pivotally received by a respective control plate. A linkage member hingedly connects the seat panel to the back panel. Each control plate includes a forwardly extending stop for limiting the downward movement of a front edge of the seat panel. A latch member is attached to each control plate and is operable between a first position where the back panel is fixed in angular relation with the seat panel and a second position where the back panel is rotatable with respect to the seat panel.

  • Publication number: 20040189076
    Abstract: A seating assembly includes a seating shell base having a forward end and a rearward end, and a back support member mounted at the rearward end of the seating shell base for substantially vertical movement with respect to the seating shell base. An inner seat tray is positioned within the seating shell base and mounted for forward and rearward sliding movement with respect to the seating shell base, the inner seat tray having opposed pivot points. A seat back is pivotally mounted at the pivot points, the seat back being connected to the back support member. Downward movement of the back support member vertically with respect to the seating shell base causes the seat back to pivot at the pivot points, thereby reclining the seat back, and thereby causing the inner seat tray to slide forward with respect to the seating shell base.

  • Patent number: 6270111
    Abstract: A versatile, adjustable stroller for handicapped children, adolescents and adults. The stroller includes a seat assembly and a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a tilt-in-space block for allowing the seat assembly to be positioned relative to the frame assembly at a multiplicity of angular positions while providing balanced support for the occupant. The back rest of the seat assembly can be positioned at a multiplicity of angular positions while providing proper anatomical alignment and support for an occupant. The seat assembly can be completely removed from the frame assembly and then installed so that the occupant can face in an opposite direction. The stroller is preferably constructed so as to be collapsible for easy transport and/or storage.
