Abstract
A wheelchair comprises a pair of spaced apart side frame tubes and a pair of foot support frames. Each of the foot support frames has a first end configured to connect to the side frame tubes and a second end configured to receive a cross member. The cross member interconnects the second ends of the foot support frames and supports a foot support assembly.
Claims17
A wheelchair comprising:
- a pair of spaced apart side frame tubes;
- a pair of foot support frames each having a first end configured to be telescopically received within the side frame tubes and a second end configured to receive a cross member, the foot support frames being configured so that the cross member is positioned rearward of the foot support frame first ends, the cross member further interconnecting the second ends of the foot support frames;
- and
- a foot support assembly including at least one footplate attached to at least one pivot mount that is supported on the cross member for relative pivotal movement on the cross member through a range of motion, the pivot mount including a positioning slot configured to limit rotational movement of the footplate relative to the cross member and prevent lateral movement of the footplate relative to the cross member.
