A seat (), particularly but not exclusively for a wheelchair, comprises a bottom rest (), a back rest support () rotatable relative to the bottom rest about an axis of rotation (); and a back rest () slidably mounted on the back rest support and moveable therealong to vary its position relative to the bottom rest. The back rest is kinematically linked to the bottom rest such that the back rest moves nearer to the axis of rotation as the angle between the back rest support and the bottom rest increases.

Apparatus for connecting together two objects and chair incorporating the same

A wheelchair () comprises a seat member () pivotally mounted on support beam () of a chassis (). The chassis () includes a pair of spaced-apart side elements (), each depending from the support beam () and having a first part () supporting a front ground-engaging wheel () and a second part () supporting a rear ground-engaging wheel (). A bracing member () extends between the second parts () of the side elements (), and supports a variable length strut (). The variable length strut () extends from the bracing member () to rearward part () of seat member () and controls pivotal movement of seat member () around support beam ().
