Abstract

The present disclosure provides a chassis for a personal mobility vehicle, such as a wheelchair, for an individual with a disability The chassis comprises: a base frame for supporting a seat of the personal mobility vehicle thereon; a front subframe with at least one ground-engaging front wheel, the front subframe being connected to the base frame via a front suspension for resilient movement relative to the base frame; and a rear subframe having at least one ground-engaging rear wheel, the rear subframe being connected to the base frame via a rear suspension for resilient movement relative to the base frame. The front subframe and the rear subframe are separately and independently pivotally connected to the base frame for pivoting movement relative to the base. To this end, the front subframe is pivotally connected to the base frame via a first pivot joint and the rear subframe is pivotally connected to the base frame via a second pivot joint.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a leg rest assembly for a wheelchair, comprising: a leg support for supporting at least one lower leg of a user seated in the wheelchair, and a mechanism for raising and lowering the leg support between a base position and an elevated position on the wheelchair, the mechanism comprising a linkage that interconnects the leg support with a frame of the wheelchair and drive means for powering movement of the linkage to drive the leg support between the base position and elevated position. The linkage includes a first bracket to which the leg support is connected for pivoting movement about a first pivot axis, a second bracket for rigid connection with the frame of the wheelchair, and an articulating arm subassembly which interconnects the first bracket and second bracket and is driven by the drive means for movement of the leg support between the base position and the elevated position. As the leg support is being moved to, or is in, the elevated position, the leg support is able to pivot about the first pivot axis independently of a position of the articulating arm subassembly. The present disclosure also provides a wheelchair having such a leg rest assembly, preferably in the form of a centre-mounted power elevating leg rest assembly.
