CA 2333886

A resilient suspension front wheel drive wheelchair which has a stabilizing assembly that substantially maintains the drive wheels in vertical alignment upon encountering an obstacle such as a bump thereby providing stability. The stabilizing assembly comprises a plurality of substantial equal length and parallel link arms which independently connect each drive wheel to a frame. A rear counter weight is also provided to provide a shorter turning radius and hence improved turning ability while maintaining stability.

Cette invention se rapporte à un fauteuil roulant à transmission sur les roues avant et à suspension élastique, pourvu d'un ensemble stabilisateur qui maintient essentiellement les roues motrices dans leur alignement vertical, même lorsqu'elles rencontrent un obstacle tel qu'une bosse, assurant ainsi leur stabilité. L'ensemble stabilisateur comprend plusieurs bras de liaison pratiquement de longueur égale et parallèles, qui relient séparément chaque roue motrice au châssis. Un contrepoids est également prévu pour produire un rayon de virage plus court et, partant, des performances de virage améliorées, tout en maintenant la stabilité.
