ABSTRACT:
A tabletop (32) is releasably attached to the armrest structure (4) of a wheelchair (2) by means of two mounting tubes (52). Each tube (52) has a rubber coated rear end portion (56) that is received into and frictionally engages an axial passageway (10) in a longitudinally extending upper horizontal frame member (6) of structure (4). Tube (52) extends along the lower surface (34) of tabletop (32) between the vertical flanges (46) of a pair of angle irons (40) secured to surface (34). A pair of longitudinally spaced bolts (76) extend through aligned openings (48,54) in flanges (46) and tube (52). Wing nuts (82) secure tube (52) against lateral movement along bolts (76) but may be loosened to permit lateral adjustment of the distance between tubes (52). The rear end (56) of the tube (52) may be replaced by a clamp (60) to engage an armrest structure (4') lacking an open axial passageway. Tabletop (32) may be replaced by a hinged desk top arrangement (32',88).
