Abstract

It is a wheelchair for disabled persons where there is the possibility of varing the lying posture of the bearing wheels (19) to obtain an incline which spaces them out at the base and approaches them on the top and / or to obtain a convergence. This has been reached by equipping the wheelchair with two axle shafts (19) angled between them with variation of the angle position and with variation of the lying posture of the plane defined by them (Fig. 3).
