Description

The Safer Automatic Wheelchair Wheel Lock automatically locks the wheelchair's wheels when a person's weight is lifted from the seat of the wheelchair. When weight is lifted from the seat, e.g. when a person stands up, the locks "automatically" engage, locking the wheels until the weight is applied again to the seat. When the chair is occupied, i.e. when weight is on the seat, the locks automatically disengage and the user may roll about as he/she wishes. It's that simple. Yet this device is highly effective in preventing falls and injury. Overrides mounted on the handles of the wheelchair can disengage the locks to allow attendants to easily move an empty chair. The Automatic Wheelchair Wheel Locks also do not interfere with folding the wheelchair for storing or transporting.
