ADJUSTABLE AND REMOVABLE ARMREST FOR A WHEELCHAIR

摘要

An adjustable and removable armrest apparatus (30) for a wheelchair. The armrest apparatus includes a base (31) and an arm support assembly (32) having a height-adjustable armrest post (33). Interdisposed between the base and the support assembly is an elongated mounting assembly (34). A locking mechanism (37) is movably mounted to a mounting end (35) of the mounting assembly. A securing mechanism (40) is movably mounted to an engaging end (36) of the mounting assembly. The armrest apparatus further includes a manually engageable latch assembly (41). The latch assembly moves between a selected one of: 1) the locking mechanism to move the locking mechanism from the locked condition to the unlocked condition, while the securing mechanism is retained in the secured condition; and 2) the securing mechanism to move the securing mechanism from the secured condition to the unsecured condition, while the locking mechanism is retained in the locked condition.
