Abstract
The wheelchair foot rest comprises a plate portion with a semi-cylindrical configuration journalling a tube in turn supported to the wheelchair such that the plate can swing from a horizontal position to a vertical position about the journalling axis. Axially slotted plastic friction sleeves surround the journalling tube in such a manner as to lock to the inner wall ends of the semi-cylindrical portion of the plate and frictionally engage the periphery of the journalling tube so that the plate is held in any set swung position.
