ABSTRACT:
The travel chair has a form-fitted shell which is attached to a metal frame, capable of transporting handicapped and elderly persons from their residence; through public transportation terminals; aboard public transportation vehicles, such as aircraft and busses; hence to their destination without the individual leaving the apparatus. Folding rear legs allows the apparatus to be placed in a conventional seat without the individual leaving the shell. In limited spaces, the shell can be removed from the frame and placed in a conventional seat without the individual leaving the shell. In either configuration, the person, while remaining in the shell, can use conventional restraint devices, such as aircraft and automotive seat belts. In addition, inherent safety devices are incorporated in the apparatus for personal security. For storing or separate transportation, both the front and rear legs of the apparatus can be folded; thereby reducing the required space by approximately one-half.
