Abstract
A double amputee conveyance includes a main frame with two rear wheels, for propulsion, and two swiveled castor wheels, for directional control, attached to the main frame. A seat assembly is attached to the main frame to provide relative movement between a rearward and a forward position and is constructed so that a forward edge extends beyond the main frame in the forward position. A stabilizing mechanism includes a stabilizing bar pivotally attached to the main frame so as to extend outwardly in a forward direction from the main frame and for movement between a raised and a lowered position. An activating lever is linked to the stabilizing bar to move the bar into the raised or the lowered position. The stabilizing bar engages the floor in the lowered position to stabilize the conveyance with the seat assembly in the forward position.
