Abstract (en)

The wheelchair has a travel chassis (11), on which a stand-up frame with seat (17) and backrest (19) hinges. On movement from the sitting to the stand-up position a foot-support (23) is lowered to the ground. The support has one or more stems (37) by which it is guided in the travel chassis. The stem is coupled by a link (39) to the stand-up frame (21). The stem can be arranged to telescope inside a tubular member (35) of the travel chassis. The support can accommodate both feet, having a stem on each side working in a tubular chassis-member. The frame can have a double-armed lever (41) on each side, and whose shorter arm (43) is coupled to the respective link (39).
