Abstract: A transport wheelchair comprises a frame with a chair base movably carried by a wheel base displaceable on a set of wheels. A seat, a backrest and a legrest are carried by the chair base of the frame. An intravenous (IV) pole attachment is carried by the frame and to receive and carry an IV pole. An IV pole lock is associated with IV pole attachment. The IV pole lock comprises a plug slidably received in a tube of the IV pole. The plug is bifurcated at an inclined angle with respect to a longitudinal axis with opposing inclined surface abutting to one another. A rod extends through the plug. A cam lever is coupled to proximal end of the rod. The cam lever is pivotal to selectively position a cam against the frame to selectively draw and release the rod to selectively displace and release the bifurcated plug laterally.

Abstract: A transport wheelchair comprises a frame with a chair base movably carried by a wheel base displaceable on a set of wheels. A seat, a backrest and a legrest are carried by the chair base of the frame. The set of wheels comprises a pair of fixed wheels to rotate around a laterally-oriented rotational axis and to roll longitudinally. A pivot wheel is coupled to the frame and oriented perpendicular to the pair of fixed wheels and to rotate around a longitudinally-oriented rotational axis. The pivot wheel is selectively positionable between: an elevated position higher than a bottom of the pair of fixed wheels and off of the ground; and a lowered position lower than the bottom of the pair of fixed wheels with the pair of fixed wheels elevated off of the ground and the pivot wheel to roll laterally.

Abstract: A transport wheelchair comprises a frame with a chair base movably carried by a wheel base displaceable on a set of wheels. A seat, a backrest and a legrest are carried by the chair base of the frame. A pair of armrests is removably coupled with respect to the seat and each having an attached position on a lateral side of the seat and a removed position away from the seat. The pair of armrests is laterally displaceable and selectively positioned with respect to the seat. Each of the armrests have a lock to selectively lock and release the armrest with respect to the seat.

Abstract: A transport wheelchair configured for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) has a seat, a backrest and a legrest carried by a frame displaceable on a set of wheels. The wheelchair has a chair configuration and a reclined configuration of the seat, the backrest and the legrest. Armrests are removably coupled with respect to the seat. The seat, the backrest and the legrest are movably coupled to the frame and capable of being selectively elevated in the reclined configuration.

Abstract: A wheel chair is configurable as a mobility and a positioning chair. The chair has a seat and backrest with opposite side rails to interchangeably receive various components. The seat has a taut sheet of plastic to reduce pressure points. The seat and backrest can tilt together with respect to a base frame. The backrest can recline with respect to the seat.

Abstract: A glider chair includes a glider frame and a seat, swingably suspended by a plurality of hangers from a base disposable on a support surface. The seat is pivotable with respect to the glider frame between an upper position and a lower position, and biased to the upper position. An automatic locking mechanism is coupled between the seat and at least one of the plurality of hangers. The automatic locking mechanism moves as the seat pivots to engage the at least one of the plurality of hangers to resist motion of the glider frame relative to the base when the seat is in the upper position.

Abstract: A footrest is provided herein for use with health care chairs fur invalids and patients. The footrest includes two footplate members independently pivotally coupled to the leg rest or the frame of a health care chair such that each footplate member is capable of being swung upwardly and downwardly, independent of the other footplate member to facilitate access to the health care chair. Stop means are further provided for positioning one or both footplate members at a fixed position of tilt relative to the leg rest and/or the chair frame, and thereby increasing the general comfort of the occupant of the health care chair.

Abstract: A reclining chair having a back rest member which may be reclined. In one embodiment the reclining chair has means to allow it to be tilted. A pivotable joint is provided along the upper support members of the chair which allow such members to be pivotably bent proximate their midsection thereby allowing a greater degree of tilt of the seat member situate thereon than would otherwise be the case if there was no pivotable joint and the upper support members and the seat member thereon were tilted by simply lowering one end thereof. In another aspect, a lower leg support member is provided which rotatably extends upon the back rest of the chair being reclined, so as to support the calves of a user of the chair in a substantially horizontal position when the chair back is likewise reclined to a substantially horizontal position.
