Abstract
A tiltable wheelchair comprises a tilt seat guide assembly supported in relation to a base frame and a first roller supported in relation to the tilt seat guide assembly for supporting a seat frame for movement in relation to the base frame. The first roller is movable along the tilt seat guide assembly in fore and aft directions to enable tilt of the seat frame in relation to the base frame. A link arm may be connected between the base frame and seat frame to urge the seat frame upward and rearward to tilt the seat frame as the first roller moves in a forward direction. A second roller may be provided to cooperate with a guide rail, which is supported in relation to the tilt seat guide assembly, so as to track the movement of the first roller and prevent lateral translation of the seat frame in relation to the base frame. A locking device may be provided for holding the seat frame in a desired position.
