A disclosed walker is a three sided framework allowing quick connect/disconnect to the frame of a conventional standard wheelchair. The walker is formed with a front and two side assemblies pivotally linked to the front assembly. When the walker is not connected to a wheelchair, the side assemblies and front assemblies pivot and collapse into a &ldquo;z&rdquo; pattern forming a flat, compact package. For connection to a wheelchair, the sides assemblies unfold perpendicularly to the front assembly, and are locked into place by a horizontal crossbar. U-shaped securing clips located at the rear ends of the walker's side assemblies, drop over and straddle horizontal frame members of the wheelchair tightly grasping the wheelchair's frame members. The stability of the walker/wheelchair combination is enhanced by outward bends of the front vertical sections of the walker which terminate in swivel caster supports.

Collapsible walker attachment for a wheelchair

A device and method for positioning a human arm above the arm of a chair, the device being made of a soft pliable material and including a lower chair-adapting portion with one or more passageways approximating the shape of an arm of a chair adapted to fit securely around the arm of the chair, and a connected upper arm-elevating portion with a relatively low portion to accommodate and support an elbow and an angled, elevated portion to accommodate, support, and elevate an arm and hand. The method includes using the device and also positioning a person against the device, providing extra stability for the device and limiting the lateral motion of the person in the chair.

Self-supporting arm elevator

A securing apparatus for drawing a pair of work objects toward each other in interoperation with a first line borne by at least one of the work objects, the apparatus having a second line for attachment to the other of the work objects; and a member having holes for attachment to the first line, holes for receiving the second line in sliding movement therethrough in such a fashion as to dispose a section of the second line in overlaying engagement with another portion of the second line whereby the second line can be drawn through its holes to draw the work objects toward each other and said section of the second line into motion resisting engagement with said other portion of the second line for releasibly securing the work objects in selected positions relative to each other.
