  • Patent number: 10456308
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a removable leg rest for a wheelchair. The removable leg rest includes a base member configured to be mounted to a wheelchair frame having a wheelchair frame member. The removable leg rest also includes a leg support member pivotally coupled to the base member, and an actuator for pivoting the leg support member relative to the base member between a lowered position and a raised position. One or more mounting clips are used for attaching the base member to the wheelchair frame member. The mounting clips are configured to releasably engage a cross-sectional portion of the wheelchair frame member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8062191
    Abstract: A recumbent stepper includes a frame, a pair of lever arms, pedals, pulleys, flexible members, springs and adjustable resistance devices The pair of lever arms are pivotally attached to the frame and are movable from a retracted position to an extended position. Pedals are attached to each lever arm. The pair of pulleys are rotatably attached to the frame. The pair of flexible members are attached between the lever arms and pulleys and are wound around the pulley when the lever arm is in the retracted position and deploys as the lever arm moves to the extended position. Springs are operably attached to each pulley such that each lever arm is biased to the retracted position. Adjustable resistance devices are operably connected to each pulleys whereby increasing the resistance on the pulley increases the force required to move the lever from the retracted position toward the extended position.
