Abstract: The present invention discloses a deflecting apparatus for wheelchairs to prevent objects from rolling underneath wheelchairs, especially when engaged in sport activities. The apparatus is an accessory item that attaches in the front of a wheelchair below the seat and just above the floor/ground level. It is configured as a guard specifically to prevent sport balls such as basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs and the like from being trapped under the wheelchair. The apparatus is attached with a pair of clamping arms on the rear of the plate to connect the apparatus to the specific structure of the wheelchair, particularly on the kick plate and is adjustable to conform to various sizes of kick plates. Alternate embodiments could serve as deflectors for other objects that may become hazardous to the wheelchair free movement if allowed to travel underneath the chair from the front.
