Abstract
A transferable wheelchair width adjuster that can be attached to the lower frame of a folding wheelchair allowing the wheelchair to be narrowed to varying widths so as to accommodate entry through doorways that otherwise would be impassable. Narrowing the profile of a standard wheelchair also allows the chair to accommodate more comfortably a smaller individual, such as a small child. No modification of the original wheelchair construction is necessary. The width adjuster described herein can be attached and removed manually without the need of tools.

A device that is manually adjustable using opposing snap buttons to provide variable widths for a folding wheelchair depending on the degree of narrowing that is required for a particular application.
