<p>A wheelchair incorporates a tilt mechanism with a center of gravity compensation by employing a rotary actuator (50). the actuator (50) is secured to the underside of the seat (24) and has an arm (52) pivotally secured to the frame. A seat pivot axis (34) is located on a movable member (38) that allows the axis (34) to shift from a rear portion of the wheelchair toward a front portion as the seat is tilted from an upright position to a tilted position. This ensures that the center of gravity of the user is maintained within the wheelbase of the chair, i.e. compensates for center of gravity. <IMAGE></p> |
