ABSTRACT:
A wheel chair includes a back support pivotally attached to a base frame and having a handle and a hand grip pivotally attached to the handle, a housing is secured to the base frame and includes a chamber to slidably receive a shank which has one end pivotally attached to the back support. An adjustably anchoring device may be used to adjustably anchor the shank to the housing, and to adjustably secure the back support to the base frame to selected angular position. One or more coil springs are engaged onto the shank, and have an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the shank, to allow the springs to be engaged and clamped onto the shank, and to be expanded and released from the shank by a barrel.
