ABSTRACT:
The width of a laterally foldable wheelchair can be reduced by the chair occupant by manipulation of a hand lever on one side of the chair frame which is operable to elevate a flexible seat support member thereby inducing partial folding of the chair to reduce its width. The weight of the occupant on the chair seat tends to bias the hand lever toward its inactive stowed position.
