Abstract:

A wheelchair braking system, for use on a wheelchair having a frame and a pair of wheels, comprising an outer plate assembly, an inner plate assembly, and an axle assembly attached to one of the wheels. The axle assembly is supported by the outer plate assembly. The axle assembly has a sprocket gear comprising a plurality of sprocket teeth. When weight upon the wheelchair is reduced when a passenger gets up from the wheelchair, an outer plate assembly moves downward with respect to an inner plate assembly, bringing a foremast teeth into contact with a sprocket gear, and braking the wheels. A manual release lever extends rearward from a housing so that a person standing behind the wheelchair can selectively operate the manual release lever to free the foremast from the sprocket gear and allow the wheels to rotate.
