TLDR
In this paper, an apparatus for movably mounting equipment on a wheelchair (12) having an armrest (12a) and a back support (12b) is described.Abstract:
An apparatus (10) for movably mounting equipment (11) on a wheelchair (12) having an armrest (12a) and a back support (12b), which comprises first and second pivot assemblies (20, 21), a longitudinal body member (40) spacing and joining the first and second pivot assemblies (20, 21) and rotatable about a fixed axle (50) of the first pivot assembly (20). There may also be provided a device (22) to attach the fixed axle (50) to the wheelchair (12), a rotatable axle (51) in the second pivot assembly (21) supporting the equipment (11), and an assembly such as pulleys (80, 81) and a cable (83) for rotating the rotatable axle (51) as a function of the rotation of the body member (40) relative to the fixed axle (50). Rotation of the body member (40) relative to the fixed axle (50) effects rotation of the rotatable axle (51) such that the equipment (11) remains orthogonal to the armrest (12a) of the wheelchair (12) during movement from a position in front of the wheelchair (12) to a position to the rear of the back support (12b) of the wheelchair (12).read more
