ABSTRACT:
A size-adjustable load supporting device comprising a load supporting top panel and a size-adjustable support frame. The support frame is adjustable laterally and longitudinally to fit a variety of wheelchairs and to accommodate different sized patients. The load supporting top panel is removably attached to the size-adjustable frame with VELCRO.RTM.. The support frame is comprised of four T-shaped components which are nestingly interfit with one another and slidable relative to one another to form a generally square support frame. With the top panel removed, the length and width of the support frame can be quickly adjusted by sliding the T-shaped components relative to one another to vary the amount of nesting. Once the support frame is adjusted to the desired size, the top panel is reattached, thereby securing the support frame. Four J-shaped brackets are provided, two on each side, to allow the device to be easily mounted on a standard wheelchair. The brackets are vertically adjustable and rotatable relative to the support frame to permit the size-adjustable load supporting device to be mounted at a range of heights and at a variety of angles relative to the wheelchair frame.
