ABSTRACT:
A carriage for receiving a wheelchair is pivotable relative to a frame between a lowered position (as shown) wherein the wheelchair can be wheeled onto and off the carriage, and a raised position (FIG. 3) wherein the wheelchair is tipped in a vertical plane. The carriage is raised and lowered by an operating mechanism which is fully operated by the wheelchair occupant and which includes hand grips positioned to either side of the carriage. A fluid damper prevents the carriage from being lowered except at a controlled relatively slow rate.
