This invention provides for a warning lamp apparatus for a wheelchair comprising: a mounting base adapted to be slidingly received and removed from the upper rear portion of the wheelchair; an upright support member extending from the mounting base, a lamp mounted on the top portion of the upright member; and, a power supply means to illuminate the lamp. A preferred aspect of this invention provides for an apparatus as above wherein the mounting base is a generally horizontal U shaped member which may be slidingly received in a rear upper portion of the wheelchair 22. In the most preferred aspect of the invention the mounting base comprises a box 34 which is adapted to carry an umbrella support arm and provide accessory storage for the rider. The apparatus may be readily removed when the wheelchair is used indoors or quickly installed when the wheelchair is to be used out of doors.

Les cas d'accidents où une personne en fauteuil roulant se fait frapper par un véhicule automobile sont nombreux. Dans la plupart des cas, le conducteur n'avait pas vu le fauteuil roulant. La présente invention concerne un dispositif lumineux servant à signaler la présence d'un fauteuil roulant. Ce dispositif comprend un support de montage se glissant sur la partie supérieure arrière du fauteuil, un mât fixé au support de montage, un dispositif lumineux fixé au sommet du mât et un bloc d'alimentation du dispositif lumineux. Dans une des variantes possibles, le support de montage est constitué par un élément de section en U se fixant horizontalement à la partie supérieure arrière du fauteuil 22. Dans la variante privilégiée, un coffret 34 est fixé au support de montage pour permettre la fixation d'un support de parapluie et le rangement d'effets personnels. Le dispositif de cette invention s'enlève facilement pour l'utilisation du fauteuil roulant à l'intérieur, et se remet aisément en place pour l'utilisation du fauteuil à l'extérieur.
