  • Patent number: 4458870
    Abstract: The present invention is an adjustable support attachment for wheelchairs having vertical or horizontal arm rest members. The support, which is intended to position articles and devices within variable and convenient access to the occupant of the chair, is attached to the arm rest member by means of a mounting base, to which one end of a base tube is releasably and rotatably swivel-mounted. On the other end of the base tube is fixed an adjustable friction joint allowing angular positioning of a lower arm tube in a vertical plane. An adjustable pivoting friction joint on the radially outer end of the lower arm tube allows fully circular positioning throughout a plane perpendicular to the lower arm, in combination with an adjustable friction joint, integral with the pivotal joint, which allows angular positioning of an upper arm member within the rotatable plane including the lower arm.
