ABSTRACT:
The disclosed wheelchair has spaced side structures and movable seat frame bars, and X-cross braces interconnect them for movement between wheelchair opened and collapsed positions. A flexible durable seat panel secured along panel side edges to the seat frame bars has an opening spaced from its front, rear and side edges, defining broad side and rear support regions between the opening and the corresponding panel edges for comfortable long term occupant support. However, the occupant can shift along the seat panel to overlie the seat opening for toilet needs, without assistance and/or leaving the wheelchair. The seat frame bars and seat panel are located to pass with clearance over the top of a toilet bowl, the X-cross braces connect only the front of the side structures and seat frame bars so that rearwardly thereof and under the seat panel between the side structures no wheelchair structure exist, allowing the wheelchair to be rolled backwards to align the seat panel opening vertically over the toilet bowl. Pocket structure can be removably connected by mating hook-loop fastening components to the underside of the seat panel, suited to hold a potty pan operative under the seat opening, for toilet use without a toilet.
