ABSTRACT:
A folding canopy for a mobility device, such as a wheelchair or scooter, can be displaced, via switch activation, from a folded position behind the backrest to the operating position above the mobility device. In the folded position, the canopy and structural members are kept behind the backrest. A press of the switch located on the armrest activates an electric motor and drives a mechanical assembly comprising of: two gears a shaft and two U-shape tubular structural members attached to weather resistant upholstery. The canopy and structural members assemble directly above the vehicle. Another press of the switch retracts the canopy.
