WHEEL CHAIR AND PLATFORM DEVICE FOR MOVEMENT OF A DISABLED PERSON FROM A WHEEL CHAIR TO A CHAIR SEAT SUPPORT IN A VEHICLE AND AIRCRAFT

摘要

A folding wheel chair assembly has at least one fold-down platform that permits the person on the seat to be moved laterally to another seat. The fold-down platform is on a mounting rod that folds upward and them may be turned to a position behind the wheel chair set out of the way when the wheel chair is being moved from one position to another. There may be a fold-down platform on each side of the wheel chair so that a person maybe moved from the wheel chair from either side. The wheel chair may include an adjustment device to raise or lower the position of the chair seat.
