    Abstract: A transfer vehicle comprising a frame, handlebar, seat and one or more wheels. The transfer vehicle is designed to assist a disabled individual with transfer to and from a wheelchair to a couch, chair, bed, commode or the like. A lower horizontal support section, in the shape of a rectangle, is joined to an upper horizontal support section, in the shape of a rectangle, by means of four vertical support members. Additional support is provided by incorporating two reinforcement members between two cross section members and the upper horizontal support section. The upper horizontal support section overhangs the lower horizontal support section and joins a front horizontal member by means of two short vertical members. Two angled members join the lower horizontal support section to the front horizontal member and a handlebar for support. Two fixed rear wheels and two front wheels attached to a swivel mechanism allow the transfer vehicle to be steered into nearly any location.
