Abstract:

A method of attaching a manually operated wheelchair to a motorized scooter using an angle iron, an adjustable bar that has a left segment, a middle segment, a right segment and a pair of adapters. A user slides the middle segment over the left and right segments, and inserts screws into left and right holes in the middle segment and aligned holes in the left and right segments. The user then screws the adapters onto upper ends of the left and right segments and snaps them into position on the underside of the wheelchair. Next, the user removes the seating apparatus from the scooter, fastens the angle iron to the floor of the scooter by inserting a pair of bolts through the slots in the angle iron and tightening the bolts with a pair of matching nuts, and places the bar squarely against the angle iron.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a kit for attaching a manually operated wheelchair to a motorized scooter having a seating apparatus and supporting structure and a floor, comprising: (a) a motorized scooter attachment angle iron, wherein the angle iron comprises: (i) a vertical wall; and (ii) a horizontal wall, the horizontal wall forming approximately a right angle to the vertical wall, wherein the horizontal wall has at least two embedded elongated slots; (b) an angle iron attachment adjustable bar, wherein the adjustable bar comprises (i) a left elbow shaped tubular segment having a horizontally oriented bottom end and a vertically oriented top end; (ii) a right elbow shaped tubular segment having a horizontally oriented bottom end and a vertically oriented top end; and (iii) a straight middle tubular segment having a diameter larger than the left segment and the right segment, so as to permit the left segment to insert into a left end of the middle tubular segment and so as to permit the right segment to insert into a right end of the middle tubular segment; and (c) a pair of tubular adapters, wherein each adapter comprises (i) an elbow connecting bottom end, capable of attaching to the vertically oriented top end; and (ii) a concave top end, wherein the concave top end is generally perpendicular to the elbow connecting bottom end and wherein the concave top end is open on top.
