ABSTRACT:
A tilting and laterally folding wheelchair design is described in which a tilting mechanism incorporating a pivoting action at both the front and back of the chair is provided so that as the chair is tilted the center of gravity of the occupant is maintained relative to the wheelbase. A lateral folding device, which incorporates X-cross members free at their upper ends, is stabilized by link members which are pivotally mounted at their outer ends, so as to provide room for the chair to be folded laterally.
