Abstract
A wheelchair dolly is provided. The wheelchair dolly includes two spaced apart frame elements, each movable in concert between a folded position and an extended position for supporting two or more wheelchairs for transportation. Each frame element may serially provide a front, middle and rear sections, wherein the front and middle sections are pivotal about a distal end of the rear section for moving between the extended and folded positions. The rear sections may each provide a rear wheel and a handle portion interconnected by a brake system for selectively braking the rear wheels. Bracing and crossbars may secure the frame elements in their spaced apart arrangement.
Claims7
A wheelchair dolly, comprising:
- two spaced apart frame elements, each frame element serially comprising:
- a L-shaped rear section;
- a middle section;
- and
- a front portion, wherein the middle section is connected to a distal end of the L-shaped rear section and a proximal end of the front section by way of pivotal attachment points;
- a rear wheel rotatably joined to a lower leg of each L-shaped rear section;
- a handle portion provided by an upper leg of each L-shaped rear section;
- a braking system interconnecting the handle portions and the rear wheels;
- and
- a front wheel rotatably joined to each front section,
- wherein each frame element is movable between an extended position and a folded position defining a general J-shape.
