Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2671556A1] The wheelchair has upper and lower front suspension arms (6a, 6b) and upper and lower rear suspension arms (12a, 12b) connected by pivots (P1, P1', P2, P2') to a chassis and to support assemblies (8, 14) of front and rear wheels (10, 16), respectively. A connecting rod (24) connects one of the front arms to one of the rear arms, and converts rotational movement of the front arm into a reverse rotational movement of the rear arm, so that any pitching movement of the chair is converted into a vertical movement of a seat parallel to a plane formed by bearing points of the wheels on the ground.
