Rear attendant standing platform for a manual or self propelled wheelchair adapted with a battery powered propulsion system

摘要

A platform fitted to the rear of a wheelchair comprises a platform 3 attached to the wheelchair by two metal tubes 4, 5. Three or more wheels are fitted to the underside of the platform, while the upper surface is non-slip. The tubes have pivot points (2, 6, fig 10) which allow the platform to be folded up to rest on top of the battery 1 or against the back of the wheelchair. The metal tubes are fitted into tubes (3, 4, fig 10) attached to the frame of the wheelchair, with a length adjustment point. The platform may be removed from the chair by sliding the tubes 4.5 out of the length adjustment tubes.
