摘要 |
A convertible wheelchair having two self-propelling rear wheels and two front casters, electric controls for converting from a chair position to a reclined position by an electric actuator connected between a bottom panel of a frame and under a seat support, a backrest connected pivotally at intermediate points between sides of the frame, and a leg support pivotally connected to front corners of the frame and front ends of the seat support. The wheelchair may be secured adjacent to a bed by a mount disc on a center portion of the rear wheels enabling a user to safely convert the wheelchair to the reclined position by moving a switch of the electric controls. When reclined, the user may move over onto the bed without a caregiver's assistance, unless necessary. |
