Mobile chair

摘要

A chair for a disabled person has a seat assembly 8 including a readily removable backrest 14 and a readily removable seat 15 so that the patient may enter the chair from the rear and raise and support himself by holding onto a table 9 whilst a helper replaces the seat and backrest, the patient then lowering himself onto the seat. The seat and the table are adjustable for height by up-and-down movement on a pair of legs 7 of arms 10 of the seat assembly and frame 18 of the table. In a modification (not shown) a single centrally-disposed leg carries the seat assembly 8 and table 9. The backrest 14 and seat 15 may be combined to form a single component and this may be formed of a piece of fabric material which can be laid flat to facilitate placing under a patient before he enters the chair, e.g. from a sitting position on the side of a bed.
