Merry-go-round for wheel chairs

A merry-go-round comprising:

• a rotatable support having at least one ramp for loading onto the rotatable support at least one individual on a wheel chair, the rotatable support defining at least one space associated with the ramp for accommodating the individual on the wheel chair;
• a plurality of wheels coupled to the rotatable support to permit rotation of the rotatable support about an axis of rotation;
• and
• at least one passenger controlled drive assembly for driving at least one of the wheels to thereby rotate the rotatable support about an axis of rotation.

A merry-go-round comprising:

• a rotatable platform;
• a plurality of wheels coupled to the rotatable platform to permit rotation of the rotatable platform about an axis of rotation;
• first and second support members on the rotatable platform, the first and second support members being spaced a sufficient distance apart from one another to place an individual on a wheel chair on the platform between the support members;
• and
• at least one manually driven drive assembly for driving at least one of the wheels to thereby rotate the rotatable platform about the axis of rotation, the drive assembly comprising
• a movable drive actuator coupled to at least one of the first and second support members to permit movement of the actuator by arm movement of the individual in the wheel chair, and
• a transmission coupled between the moveable drive actuator and the at least one driven wheel.

A merry-go-round comprising:

• a rotatable platform defining at least one space for accommodating at least one individual in a wheel chair;
• at least one wheel chair fastener movable between a wheel chair loading position and a wheel chair fastening position for selectively fastening the wheel chair to the platform when the fastener is in the wheel chair fastening position;
• and
• at least one manually driven drive assembly for rotating the platform about an axis of rotation.
