A hand or manual propulsion assembly (30, 130) for use with a wheelchair (10) which includes a lever arm (36) journaled to the axis (14, 114) of each of the large wheels (18, 20, 118, 120) on the wheelchair (10) and a crank handle (62) at the end of the lever arm (36, 136) associated with friction pads (58, 60, 158, 160) for engaging the hand rail (26, 126) of the large wheel. When the occupant of the wheelchair (10) rotates and pushes forward or rearward on the crank handles (62, 162) the friction pads (58, 60) come into contact with the hand rail and allows the wheelchair to be propelled forward or rearward.

Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif de propulsion à main ou manuel (30, 130) destiné à un fauteuil roulant (10), qui comporte un bras de levier (36) tourillonné à l'axe (14, 114) de chacune des grandes roues (18, 20, 118, 120) du fauteuil roulant (10) et une manivelle (62) disposée à l'extrémité du bras de levier (36, 136) associé à des patins (58, 60, 158, 160) conçus pour entrer en contact avec la main courante (26, 126) de la grande roue. Lorsque l'occupant du fauteuil roulant (10) fait tourner et pousse vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière les manivelles (62, 162), les patins (58, 60) entrent en contact avec la main courante, ce qui permet à l'occupant de propulser le fauteuil roulant vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière.
