Abstract

A wheelchair includes a toilet and bidet disposed within a tubular frame with a lower box shaped section. A U-shaped upper rear frame includes a pair of upperwardly extending steel tubes and an upper cross member and a pair of forwardly extending frame members extend forwardly from the upperwardly extending tubes and a pair of downwardly extending tubular members extend downwardly from forward end portions are welded to form a solid structure. Further, a horizontal support member defines a circular opening. A toilet including a toilet bowl and bidet are disposed in the box shaped section while a waste storage tank is disposed below the toilet bowl and a water reservoir surrounds the toilet bowl. Finally, a pair of relatively large parallel wheels and a pair of relatively small wheels are fixed to the box shaped section of the frame.

Dependent claims

A wheelchair for the disabled including a toilet and a bidet, said wheelchair comprising:

a tubular steel frame including a lower box shaped section having a forward portion and a rear portion and a generally U-shaped upper rear frame including a pair of upperwardly extending steel tubes extending upperwardly from said rear portion of said box shaped section and an upper cross member joining said upperwardly extending steel tubes and a pair of generally horizontal forwardly extending frame members extending forwardly from an intermediate portion of said upperwardly extending tubes and including forward end portions, and a pair of downwardly extending tubular members extending downwardly from said forward end portions to an upper portion of said forward portion of said box shaped section;
means supporting the back of an individual extending between said upperwardly extending tubes;
and
a generally horizontal support member disposed on an upper side of said box shaped section and defining a circular opening extending through a central portion of said support member;
a toilet including a toilet bowl and a bidet disposed in said box shaped section below said circular opening, a removeable waste reservoir disposed below said toilet bowl and a pure water reservoir surrounding said toilet bowl above said waster water reservoir, an electric pump disposed in said pure water reservoir and a variable speed DC motor and adjustable voltage regulator for controlling the speed of said pump to control the water pressure of the cleaning and flushing water;
a battery and a battery charger disposed in said box shaped section for charging said battery and energizing said motor;
and
a closeable opening between said toilet bowl and said water reservoir;
a pair of relatively large parallel wheels with one of said wheels rotatably fixed to each side of said rear portion of said box shaped section of said frame and a pair of relatively small wheels rotatably fixed to a forward portion of said box shaped section of said frame and rotatable about a vertical axis.
