  • Wheelchair attachable transfer board and armrest combination
    Patent number: 6036216
    Abstract: A wheelchair with a detachable combined armrest and transfer board. The transfer board is attached to the wheelchair by a unique coupling. The transfer board is linked to the seating surface of the wheelchair and is reconfigurable from a first position in which the transfer board extends along one side of the seating surface to a second position in which the transfer board is capable of extending from the seating surface of the wheelchair to a second seating surface remote of the wheelchair. The coupling permits unrestricted movement of the transfer board relative to the wheelchair while maintaining a linkage between the wheelchair and the transfer board, thus aiding in stability of the transfer board.
