A wheelchair (10) having opposing sideframes (12, 14) each of which comprise a base section (20) which is pivotally connected by a brace member (41) to an inclinable seat section (22). An extender mechanism (54) interconnects the seat section (22) to a brace member (41) and provides releasable securement for a wheelchair seat at selected angular positions. Backrest bars (90) are independently adjustable with a similar extender mechanism that interconnects the bars (90) with a respective seat section (22). The sideframes (12, 14) are spaced-apart with hinged spacer bars (160-163) which include a latching device for releasably securing the bars (160-163) in an open position. The bar (90) and frame sections (12, 14) have elongated slots (24) containing fasteners (25) for adjustable connections with fasteners from adjunct wheelchair assemblies. |
