Wheelchair braking device

A wheelchair braking system, the braking system comprising:

• a wheelchair comprising a plurality of wheels;
• and
• a wheelchair braking device coupled to the wheelchair, the wheelchair braking device comprising:
• at least two brake mechanisms, wherein, when the wheelchair braking device is engaged in a brake position on the wheelchair, at least one brake mechanism engages with a first of the plurality of wheels on the wheelchair and at least a second brake mechanism engages with a second of the plurality of wheels on the wheelchair;
• a substantially rigid connection component comprising a folding mechanism and an adjustment mechanism, the connection component extending directly between and mechanically connecting to each of the at least two brake mechanisms, whereby movement of the connection component directly controls movement of the at least two brake mechanisms simultaneously;
• and
• a brake handle formed at least partially from and connected to the connection component and causing movement of the connection component and the at least two brake mechanisms simultaneously with respect to the plurality of wheels.
