Abstract: A footrest assembly for wheelchair of the type having a structure expandable from a contracted condition to an expanded position comprises a beam assembly having a structural member having a first end and a second end. A first joint one or more rotational degrees of freedom is adapted to interface the first end of the structural member to a first side of a frame of the wheelchair. A linkage assembly is connected to the structural member by a central joint with one or more rotational degrees of freedom and a lockable translational degree of freedom joint. A second joint with one or more rotational degrees of freedom is adapted to interface the linkage assembly to a second side of the frame of the wheelchair. A connector interface releasably engages the beam assembly to the linkage assembly and/or to the second joint when the wheelchair is deployed for use.

Abstract: A tilting structure of a mobility device and the mobility device including same, may include a base frame; front wheel frames mounted on opposite front sides of the base frame and coupled to the base frame through front wheel shift gear portions extending in vertical directions; a tilting bar coupled to the base frame to be tiltable transversely with respect to a tilting center, with a first side of the tilting bar being branched and extending to opposite sides; and front wheel rotation gears engaged to opposite end portions of the tilting bar, respectively, to be rotated in the same direction that tilting bar is tilted, and engaged with the front wheel shift gear portions and rotated and thus moving the front wheel shift gear portions relative to each other in the vertical directions with respect to the base frame.
