A bathroom facility transfer system, including a mobile base, a stationary base, and a removable bridge is disclosed. A user seated in a chair, is positioned adjacent to a bathroom facility with the mobile base. The removable bridge connects the mobile base to the stationary base, which is removably affixed to the bathroom facility, to allow the chair carrying the user to be moved between the mobile base and the stationary base. A chair blocking member on the removable base is movable between a) a chair blocking position, and b) a chair unblocking position. At least one opposed end of the chair blocking member interferes with movement of the chair onto the removable bridge from the mobile base or the stationary base, when the chair blocking member is in the chair blocking position. A method of assisting a user with accessing a bathroom facility is also disclosed.

Safety system for a bathroom facility transfer system

A urine deflector to deflect urine issuing from a seated user, the urine deflector has at least one retaining projection extending from a urine deflector body portion, where the retaining projection is sized and shaped to be positioned and then held in place between a medial aspect of the user's legs and a toilet seat. The deflector body portion is sized and shaped to contain and direct a flow of urine emanating from said user generally downwardly, The urine deflector can be thus held in position between said user and a toilet seat in front of said user's genitals to prevent said flow of urine from escaping beyond said urine deflector in any direction except downwardly. The retaining projections may be flexible, include a living hinge or a hinge pin to facilitate positioning the retaining projection under the legs of a user.

A tilt lock mechanism for a wheelchair having a tilting seat frame pivotally mounted to a non-tiling base frame. The tilt lock mechanism including a catch release member mounted to the tiling seat frame, the catch release member having a guide surface; and the catch release member having a tilt lock position and a tilt lock release position. A locking tab is mounted to the non-tilting base frame, which is sized and shaped to engage the guide surface when said catch release member is in the tilt lock release position. A plurality of locking slots are formed in the tilting seat frame and the locking tab engages one of the locking slots when the catch release member is in the tilt lock position. As well an actuator is provided for moving the catch release member between the tilt lock position and the tilt lock release position.

A modular wheelchair assembly is adapted to be reconfigured between a fixed angle of tilt, a dynamically adjustable tilt-in-space configuration with the tilt axis being near the user's knees and a dynamically adjustable tilt-in-space configuration with the tilt axis being near the user's center of gravity. The reconfiguration is achieved by modifying a limited number of selectively removable components of the support assembly or the pivot assembly of the wheelchair.

Reconfigurable tilt wheelchair

A telescoping crossbar assembly for a wheelchair comprises an inner tube that is slidable within an outer tube. The head portion of a pass-through fastener bears on the inner tube through a sufficiently large head-side aperture so as to slightly deform the inner tube and to hold the two tubes by friction in mutual engagement.

Telescoping crossbar assembly

A kit for adding a reclining seat to a wheelchair, comprising a stationary seat frame for mounting to a base frame of the wheelchair, a seat for mounting to the stationary seat frame, the seat having a seat portion and a back portion pivotally mounted to said seat portion, and an actuator mounted on the seat for causing the back portion of said seat to change angle relative to said stationary seat frame, a sliding connector for slidably mounting said seat portion to said stationary seat frame, and means for sliding said seat on said stationary seat frame along said sliding connector without changing height as the actuator causes the angle of the back portion to change, wherein said kit, when mounted on a wheelchair, compensates for a change in an occupant's center of gravity by sliding said seat portion on said stationary seat frame as said back portion changes angle.

A cushion element for use in the wheelchair. The cushion element includes a generally rectangular body in plane having a front edge, a pair of opposed side edges and a rear edge. The cushion element is sized and shaped to be placed on a seat support of a wheelchair. The cushion element includes at least one collapsible support located toward the front edge of the element. The collapsible support is characterized by being more easily compressed towards the front edge and less easily compressed towards the rear edge. Thereby, under compression, the collapsible support forms a wedge shaped section in cross-section beneath a wheelchair occupant's legs. In this manner, the person is permitted to reach their foot down to the ground without the formation of a pressure point at the front edge of the seat cushion.

Cushion element for use in a wheelchair

The present assembly relates to a link assembly for a chair. The assembly includes a frame link for connecting to a frame of the chair and a back support link for connecting to a back support of the chair. The frame link and the back support link are pivotably connected in order to facilitate displacement of the back support according to movement of a back frame of the chair. An adjustable pivot point is located on one of the links for selectively adjusting the extent of displacement of the back support relative to the back frame.

Adjustable chair

A wheelchair for large individuals includes front casters mounted substantially forward of the user's center of gravity. Front caster and rear wheels are mounted on the same rigid member. The rigid member is pivotally attached to the rear of the frame while the front includes suspension means extending between the rigid member and the frame. A side plate provides universal adjustability for positioning the backrest, for pivoting the armrests and for seat height and tilt adjustment. A telescoping tube engages the ground when the wheelchair is leaned back to prevent tipping.

Wheelchair for large individuals

The present assembly relates to a wheel chair having a base frame, a seat frame and a back frame, and a control device for rotating the back frame relative to the seat frame. The back frame includes a back support to receive a trunk portion of a user, the back support being displaceable by another control device relative to the back frame. A control unit communicates with the control devices for rotating and for displacing, the control unit being adjustable to vary the displacement of the back support according to the rotation of the back frame to minimize shear forces between the user's trunk and the back support.
