ABSTRACT:
A collapsible lightweight chair for handicapped individuals that is easily removable from an automobile and can be unfolded without requiring adjustment for the user. The travel chair comprises a lightweight wheeled base having a folding chair pivotally attached thereto. A pivoting front rail is located in front of the folding chair and extends upward from the base. Pivoting side rails extend from the chair to latching engagement with the front rail. The front rail can be pivoted to a vertical position and the side rails can be pivoted away from the front rail to allow the user to enter and exit the chair from either side, the front rail being linked to a brake mechanism for preventing rotation of the rear wheels and turning of the front wheels when it is vertically upright, the wheels being freed for turning and rotating when the front rail is angled back so that the side rails can be latched in place.
