(57) Adjustable plate for fixing to the sides of a seat with its relative back and accessories, used particularly for wheelchairs for disabled people and wheelchairs with this system. It is made up of two equal and opposite sides, with each side made up of a tubular element bent accordingly to shape and supported on its back part by a corresponding large wheel. The said element laterally supports a foldable seat and relative back, while on the front side, by means of an extension, holds a corresponding swivelling wheel and the lateral extremity of a footrest. Each side is joined to an adjustable plate that has, around its perimeter:
  • two straight bars, at least one of which, being manufactured with a series of through holes, acts as an adjustment rod. The said bars come together on one side to form a hole in common with each other where a large wheel is attached;
  • a third adjustment bar manufactured with a series of through holes and with a curved section, that joins the opposite ends of the said straight bars.
