ABSTRACT:
A docking device for use with a wheeled mobility device having a device interface on a rear thereof includes a securing mechanism to dock with the device interface. The securing mechanism is adapted to dock with the device interface upon rearward motion of the wheeled mobility device relative to the docking device regardless of the horizontal position of the mobility device over a range of horizontal positions of the mobility device. The securing device can also be adapted to dock with the device interface regardless of the angle of the device interface relative to the docking device over a range of angles of the device interface. Further, the securing device can be adapted to dock with the device interface regardless of the vertical position of the device interface relative to the docking device over a range of vertical positions of the device interface.
