  • Patent number: 10363180
    Abstract: A support assembly includes a fixable portion and a rotatable portion. The fixable portion is adapted to be fixedly mounted to a wheelchair and includes a shaft having a keyway formed therein that is supported by one or more mounts. The rotatable portion is received on the shaft and is in selective locked engagement therewith. The rotatable portion includes a bracket body with an opening into which the shaft of the fixable portion is received and a key member providing a key. The key member is supported by the bracket body and is movable in linear translation between an engaged position in which the key is engaged with the keyway to lock a rotational orientation of the bracket body relative to the shaft and a disengaged position in which the key is disengaged from the keyway permitting the rotatable portion to rotate relative to the fixable portion.

  • Patent number: 9717637
    Abstract: A lateral support assembly for attachment to a wheelchair includes a mounting portion for attachment to the wheelchair, a pad support portion for attachment to a pad, and a link sub-assembly including one or more links that connect the mounting portion to the pad support portion. The mounting portion includes an attachment part, a hinged part, and a sliding part. The attachment part is adapted to be affixed to the wheelchair and the hinged part is connected to the attachment part and is selectively pivotable about a first rotational axis. The pad support portion includes a pad bracket coupled to a secondary housing in which the pad bracket is selectively pivotable about a second rotational axis. The sliding part is connected to the hinged part and is selectively extendable forward.
