ABSTRACT:
A mobile body support vehicle has a collapsible tubular frame. The frame includes longitudinally extending members formed by interconnected front in rear portions and transversely extending front intermediate bars and rear cross interconnecting the longitudinal members. The longitudinal members include detachable unions between the front and rear portions allowing the front and rear portions to be connected together and disconnected. The unions are each positioned substantially within a common plane oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal members. The vehicle includes a front and rear pair of spaced apart wheels which are pivotally mounted to opposite sides of the frame and a pair of spaced apart intermediate wheels which are mounted on opposite sides of the frame at a location between the front and rear wheels. The intermediate wheels are larger than the front and rear wheels and include circumferential hand gripping members allowing the user to propel and control the vehicle. Fabric is stretched over the frame to form a surface adapted to receive and support a user's body. In the preferred form of the invention, the tubular frame is fabricated from polyvinylchloride piping and connectors.
