Assistive mobility device

摘要

The present invention is a collapsible self-propelled chair on wheels that is lightweight in construction and easily collapsed, carried, stored and transported by public or private means. The chair performs the function of a wheelchair while avoiding the appearance of a traditional wheelchair thus avoiding the invalid stigma often associated with wheelchairs. It can be configured as an assistive mobility device to fill the unmet needs of aging healthy adults who wish to retain their independence and social interactions or a medical device to assist those with medical needs. Additional features such as an armrest, a footrest, or a reclining back are easily added during manufacture and because of the chairs uncomplicated design and duplicity of parts, it is very economical to manufacture.
