Patent number: 7669881Abstract: A collapsible, foldable support structure and conveyance has a frame assembly with multiple interconnected frame members, junction blocks located at intersecting ends of some of the frame members, and wheels attached to the junction blocks or directly to frame members. Fixtures are attached to or integrally formed with the junction blocks for mounting of wheels or other conveyances or components to the frame assembly. A support structure is attached to the frame assembly to support a load such as a human or cargo or both. In a folded configuration, the frame members are moved into a generally parallel arrangement and the junction blocks and conveyances attached to the junction blocks or frame members are drawn together.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2007Date of Patent: March 2, 2010Inventors: Gilbert E. Haury, Mark Quintile

In a folded configuration, the frame members are moved into a generally parallel arrangement and the junction blocks and conveyances attached to the junction blocks or frame members are drawn together. In one embodiment, two of the frame members are hinged, and the junction block associated with the hinged frame member is able to slide over the hinge. The hinged frame members also serve as a foot rest support when the frame assembly is in an unfolded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2004Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Inventors: Gilbert E.

Patent number: 4805925Abstract: The sports wheelchair includes a frame portion (A) having left and right side frame portions. Rear wheel assemblies (B) are connected with the left and right side frame portions such that the rear wheels are connectable to the frame in any one of a plurality of positions and with an adjustable camber. A pair of front wheel assemblies (C) selectively interconnect front wheels with the frame with any one of a plurality of adjustable height, inward-outward, and forward-aft positions. An operator supporting seat (D) having a segmented center portion and an outer portion is selectively interconnected with the left and right side frame portions. A folding mechanism (E) enables the left and right side frame portions to be folded together for easier transportation and storage.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1987Date of Patent: February 21, 1989Assignee: Invacare CorporationInventors: Gilbert E.

Patent number: 4500102Abstract: The sports wheelchair includes a one-piece, welded tubular frame assembly (A). A pair of rear wheels (30) are horizontally and adjustably positionable in a rear wheel mounting plate (34). The mounting plate has a plurality of slots (36, 38, 40) and a plurality of alternating ridges (44) and valleys (46) which mesh with like ridges (50) and valleys (52) on an axle receiving assembly (42). A pair of front wheels (80) are mounted with a front wheel mounting assembly (82) to be selectively positioned in any one of three vertical positions (FIGS. 6, 8, and 9). The front wheels are further mountable on the inside or the outside of a lower horizontal frame portion (10) and in any one of a plurality of positions fore and aft along the horizontal frame portion. The user is supported by a fabric seat (170) which is laced to upper horizontal frame portions (12) and to a back structure (150).Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1982Date of Patent: February 19, 1985Assignee: Invacare CorporationInventors: Gilbert E.

Patent number: 4082348Abstract: An adjustable wheel chair which facilitates independent seat height and width adjustments to accommodate varying wheel chair size needs. The wheel chair includes a pair of side frame assemblies transversely movable relative to each other between a first closed position with the side frame assembly closely spaced to each other and a second opened position with the side frame assembly spaced apart from each other. The side frame assemblies each include upper and lower frame members and means for selectively adjusting the distance between these members to vary the height of a seat disposed adjacent the upper frame members. First and second cross brace assemblies are pivotally connected to each other generally at their midpoints and mounted transversely between the side frame assemblies in a manner so as to form a collapsible X-like configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1976Date of Patent: April 4, 1978Assignee: Invacare CorporationInventor: Gilbert E.
