  • Patent number: 7052023
    Abstract: A wheel chair includes wheel frames which can be adjusted up and down, moving devices and brake devices are connected to two respective sides of the two wheel frames. Support devices are connected to the wheel frames so as to adjust the depth of the wheel frames to which arm rest devices are connected. A folding device is connected between the wheel frames and an assistant device is connected to the folding device. A positioning device is connected to the assistant device so that the wheel chair can be adjusted in many ways to meet different needs of users. The modularized devices effectively reduce manufacturing cost of the wheel chair.

  • Publication number: 20040212164
    Abstract: A modularized wheel chair includes two front side members and two rear side members. Two top tubes and two down tubes are respectively connected between the front and rear side members. Each of the front side members has a plurality of front positioning holes that the front wheels unit is optionally connected to desired front positioning holes between the two front side members. Each of the rear side members has a plurality of rear positioning holes that the rear wheels unit is optionally connected to desired rear positioning holes between the two front side members. The position of the front wheels unit and the rear wheels unit can be installed at desired positions so as to obtain different sizes of the wheel chairs.

  • Patent number: 6648359
    Abstract: A wheel chair includes two side assemblies each include a back post with a hand grip, a seat bar connected to a lower end of the back post, an arm rest movably connected to the back post, a hanger bracket connected to a front end of the seat bar, a caster rotatably connected to a front end of the seat bar, and a rear wheel connected to a side of the side assembly. A connection device connects the back post and the arm rest, or the front end of the seat bar and the hanger bracket. The connection device has a C-shaped member fastened on the back post or the front end of the seat bar extends. A sleeve is connected to an outside of the C-shaped member and a first end of a connection tube is movably and rotatably received in the sleeve. A locking bolt extends through a close end of the sleeve and is threadedly connected to the first end of the connection tube. The arm rest or the hanger bracket is fixedly connected to a second end of the connection tube.

  • Publication number: 20030189361
    Abstract: A wheelchair has two sides each provided with a side support frame, an armrest, and an armrest adjusting device. The side support frame has a front portion provided with a support rack, and a rear portion provided with a positioning bar pivotally connected with a rotation shaft, so that the side support frame may be pivoted about the rotation shaft. The rotation shaft is rotatably mounted in the support shaft of the wheelchair, so that the side support frame and the rotation shaft may be rotated about the support shaft. Thus, the side support frame may be rotated about the support shaft through a fixed angle, so that the side support frame may be rotated and moved to a rear portion of the backrest of the wheelchair, thereby facilitating the user entering and leaving the wheelchair.
