ABSTRACT:
A braking assembly is mounted on a wheelchair so it can be operated by an attendant. The braking assembly includes friction pads that are engaged with both wheels of the chair by operating a lever mechanism. The chair also includes an occupant-actuated assembly which operates the lever mechanism to slow the chair down, and then, after the friction pads have engaged the wheels with a predetermined pressure, will engage an element against one of the wheels to stop rotation of that wheel. The occupant-actuated assembly can be foot operated or hand operated.
