WHEELCHAIR

摘要

A collapsible wheelchair for accessing a shower and toilet comprises a seat having a toilet aperture and defining a seat plane. Two sides, each having a main wheel rotatably mounted thereon are adapted for releasable connection to the seat. A footrest is pivotally mounted at one end to a lower front edge of each side. The footrests are each foldable relative to the side into a stowed condition in which they substantially flat with the sides and into an erected condition. A pair of bows, interconnected by a pivot link is connected to a respective one of said sides. In an erected condition, the link is fixed with a connection between the footrest. The bows act as braces holding the sides in relative juxtaposition with the seat. The bows are so shaped that the chair may be reversed over a standard toilet bowl through a rear opening of the chair defined by the seat and sides until the toilet aperture is substantially vertically aligned with the bowl of the toilet.
