Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for varying the width of a wheelchair. The disclosed embodiments utilize a plurality of vertical pivots and linkages to facilitate the manipulation of a pair of horizontally oriented “scissor” linkages in order to reduce the track of the wheels for use in close quarter environments, such as commercial airlines, or to collapse the chair for transport or storage.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for a bathing and transfer chair that provides a stand alone wheeled chair that is configurable to engage a stand alone base, adapted to engage a bathing tub and lower the level of the chair thereby submersing the user in the bath water. The seat portion of the device is adaptable to transfer an individual from the wheeled chair portion of the device, positioned outside of the bathing area, to the submersing base which is positioned within the bathing area. The described embodiments can be custom fit to individual's dimensions, or be refit at any time to accommodate growth and/or size changes. Legs, calf support and back angles as well as chair height can be adjusted independently to maximize positioning options to accommodate the support and comfort of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for a fully customizable bath chair that is configurable to provide a wide variety of positioning options of the head, trunk and leg support in a sitting or reclining position. The described embodiments can be custom fit to individuals dimensions, or be refit at any time to accommodate growth and/or size changes. Legs, calf support and back angles as well as chair height can be adjusted independently to maximize positioning options to accommodate the support and comfort of the user. The chair has the unique capability to be adjusted in six independent dimensions, each affecting a specific relational fit to the individual users anthropometrics and functional need.
