ABSTRACT:
The arm rest for a wheelchair includes a pair of upright members pivotable with respect to a cross piece assembly. The cross piece assembly includes an arm rest surface or cushion asymmetrically mounted to a cross member such that one end of the arm rest surface projects from one end of the cross member whereas an opposite end of the arm rest surface is retracted from an opposite end of the cross member. The arm rest is detachably received in an arm rest holder of a wheelchair and can be positioned with a front end extension. The arm rest can also be detached from the wheelchair and reversed in position such that the front end projecting portion of the arm rest surface is directed toward the rear of the wheelchair, to provide extended arm rest support at the rear, as when the user is in a reclined position. The arm rest is also height adjustable, angle adjustable, and removable. Adjustment and removal of the arm rest from the wheelchair is easily accomplished by removing a height adjustment pin from openings in the arm rest holder and the upright members of the arm rest. The distance between the upright members is also variable.
