ABSTRACT:
A restraining device for a wheelchair and method of making the restraining device. A pummel, or wedge-like element, is rotatably mounted to an elongate axis member. The elongate axis member has engaging elements at each end for engaging the frame or legs of a chair or wheelchair. The elongate axis member is longitudinally adjustable and the engaging elements are rotatably adjustable. The rotatable pummel may be releasably secured to the elongate axis member in a restraining position located proximate an upper, frontal portion of the seat of the chair upon which the restraining device is utilized. In this way, the restraining device is positioned between the legs and at the crotch of an individual seated in the chair. The pummel may be released and rotated about the elongate axis member to a non-restraining position which does not inhibit movement to or from the seat of the chair.
