Wheelchair accessory stand

Abstract

An accessory stand for mounting on a wheelchair frame, the stand being particularly suited to receive a rifle, a camera, or other device which must be positioned and aimed at a target. The mounting stand offers a full range of movement when supporting the device being used by the wheelchair operator. The mounting assembly is removably mounted to the frame of the wheelchair and is disassembled into a compact unit for storing and transporting. The accessory stand provides a mounting bracket for mounting an adjustable vertical pole in front of the wheelchair in proximity to the wheelchair operator. A horizontal arm is connected to the top of the vertical pole and the height of the pole and the direction of the horizontal arm are adjustable. A slidable base is mounted on the horizontal arm and can be positioned at any position on the arm. The top of the slidable base is provided with a swivel-pivot mechanism connected to a pair of brackets. The brackets are adjustable to securely mount the rifle, camera, or other device. The swivel-pivot mechanism allows the wheelchair operator to easily aim the device by rotating the device in a horizontal direction or moving the device in a vertical direction.
