ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for a shopping convenience basket, desk top or tray is provided for wheel chairs employing two mounting tubes one to the outside of and below each arm rest. Each mounting tube is mounted with two loop over brackets that are fixed in place on the respective arm rest support rails between the arm rest and the arm rest support rails held together by arm rest mount screws. Facing the wheel chair from the front the basket, desk top or tray is provided with a long rearwardly extended tubular rod mounted to the right bottom thereof to slidably extend into and be supported by the right mounting tube. A mount tube is fastened to the left bottom of the basket, desk top or tray and a rod member is slidably mounted in the left mounting tube for movement with a hand lever between forward and rear limit positions. In the forward position the rod member extends forward from the left mounting tube into the mount tube on the left bottom of the basket to give mounting support thereto. When the rod member is slid to the rear position the basket, desk top or tray may be rotated up out of the way with pivotal rotation of the tubular rod in the right mounting tube. The basket may be pushed out from an innermost position to an outer use position that is a limit position set by a spring loaded self lock limiting outward sliding movement of the long rearwardly extended tubular rod in its mounting tube. The structure permits pushing out the basket far enough to allow a person to stand behind the basket and yet prevent the basket from being pushed too far out. Further, the basket can be stored on the chair while it is not in use and even with a wheel chair in a collapsed storage state.
