A Wheelchair

Abstract

A wheelchair comprising a seat module 12 having a pair of seat rails. Each seat rail 33 is fitted with a resilient hook or groove 48 at or adjacent a rear end of the rail 33 and a forward seat locking component 45. The wheelchair also has a chassis module 11 having a pair of chassis rails 18. Each chassis rail 18 is fitted with a laterally disposed receiving pin 23 and a forward chassis locking component 26. The wheelchair also has a pair of cam levers 28. The arrangement of these parts is such that the seat module can be manoeuvred by hand so that the hooks or grooves 48 engage the pins 23 to form pivots, the seat module can then be swung down by hand about the pivots to cause each seat locking component 45 to contact a respective one of the chassis locking components 26; and the cam levers 28 can then be manipulated by hand to cause the seat locking components 45 and the chassis locking components 26 to be releasably cam locked to one another. This enables the seat and chassis modules to be releasably locked to one another.
