Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8204231A1] An improvement is made in a wheelchair having front caster wheels and rear drive wheels whereby the seated occupant can unaidedly cause the wheelchair to have lateral mobility and can remove the drive wheels. The modification is achieved by jacking apparatus (23) associated with each drive wheel (21). The jacking apparatus has a lever (24) adapted to be moved to a self-locking position which downwardly urges a connecting rod (26), causing telescopic displacement of a rear caster wheel (29). Such downward displacement of the rear caster wheels lifts the rear drive wheels off the underlying support surface.

Amelioration apportee a une chaise roulante ayant des roulettes avant et des roues arriere d'entrainement, de sorte que la personne assise peut, sans aide, donner a la chaise roulante une mobilite laterale et enlever les roues d'entrainement. La modification est obtenue a l'aide d'un appareil de soulevement par verins (23) associe a chaque roue d'entrainement (21). L'appareil de soulevement par verins possede un levier (24) pouvant etre deplace vers une position d'autoverrouillage qui pousse vers le bas une tige de connexion (26), provoquant le deplacement telescopique d'une roulette arriere (29). Un tel deplacement vers le bas des roulettes souleve les roues arrieres d'entrainement de la surface de support sousjacente.
