ABSTRACT:
A rocking platform for wheelchairs includes a platform pivotally attached to a base housing, and sized to hold a standard wheelchair thereon. A retractable ramp on the forward edge of the platform allows a wheelchair to be easily rolled onto the platform. A lock bar with clamping devices on each end is attachable to the sides of the platform forward of the large rear wheels of the wheelchair to further secure the chair. A motor mounted in the housing powers the rocking action of the platform. The platform is easily stored and transported by tipping it up onto casters mounted on the rearward end of the housing.
