Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0857474A1] A wheel chair comprises a frame (1) and a number of wheels (2,3) connected thereto, which are rotatable about a shaft. At least one wheel is fitted with a drum brake (5) comprising brake shoes, a brake shoe bearing plate, and an arm for controlling the brake shoes, which is pivot-mounted in the brake shoe bearing plate. The drum brake is positioned on the side of the wheel that faces towards the frame, and the drum brake can be controlled by means of a manually operated control handle (12), which is positioned on the side of the wheel that faces away from the frame, and which is connected to a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is rotatably supported in the hollow shaft of the wheel, and it is coupled to the arm of the drum brake via a system of rods. <IMAGE>
