Abstract
An accessory basket for attachment to a wheelchair comprising: a sturdy basket, a pivotal extending rail, wheelchair connecting means, and a catch mechanism.
Two wheelchair-connecting members are provided; one having a hinge pivot assembly and the other a catch mechanism. The outer telescopic rail is adapted with a strike, mating with a catch adapted to the wheelchair-connecting member, while the inner telescopic rail is adapted with an upper hinge portion mating with a lower hinge portion adapted to an opposing wheelchair-connecting member. A catch release disengages the strike to allow the rail and basket assembly to be rotated on a vertical axis toward the side of said wheelchair, and the basket can thus be extended toward the front of said chair, making access to said basket easy and convenient.

Claims (14)
1 A wheelchair basket comprising:
i. a wheelchair-connecting member having:
i. primary and secondary universal inserts, which adapt to various wheelchair models, ii. a primary end fixedly attached to a primary universal insert-receiving member and having a hinge pivot distal to said primary insert-receiving member, and iii. a secondary end fixedly attached to a secondary universal insert-receiving member and having a catch assembly distal to said secondary insert-receiving member, ii. a telescopic tube assembly having:
i. an outer tube, ii. an inner tube having outer dimensions slightly lesser than the inner dimensions of the outer tuber, iii. extension limiting means, iv. a hinge pivot fixedly attached to the exposed end of the inner tube, and v. a basket mount fixedly attached to a top central area of the outer tube, iii. a catch and latch assembly having:
i. a catch fixedly attached to a secondary wheelchair-connecting member, ii. a latch fixedly attached to an end of the outer tube distal to the hinge pivot portion and in mating alignment with the catch, iv. a basket portion having:
i. a bottom, two sides, a front and a rear, ii. one or more drain perforation, and iii. a removable cover.
i. a wheelchair-connecting member having:
i. primary and secondary universal inserts, which adapt to various wheelchair models, ii. a primary end fixedly attached to a primary universal insert-receiving member and having a hinge pivot distal to said primary insert-receiving member, and iii. a secondary end fixedly attached to a secondary universal insert-receiving member and having a catch assembly distal to said secondary insert-receiving member, ii. a telescopic tube assembly having:
i. an outer tube, ii. an inner tube having outer dimensions slightly lesser than the inner dimensions of the outer tuber, iii. extension limiting means, iv. a hinge pivot fixedly attached to the exposed end of the inner tube, and v. a basket mount fixedly attached to a top central area of the outer tube, iii. a catch and latch assembly having:
i. a catch fixedly attached to a secondary wheelchair-connecting member, ii. a latch fixedly attached to an end of the outer tube distal to the hinge pivot portion and in mating alignment with the catch, iv. a basket portion having:
i. a bottom, two sides, a front and a rear, ii. one or more drain perforation, and iii. a removable cover.
2. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein, the primary universal insert is securedly and releasably attached to a primary universal insert-receiving member.
3. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein, the secondary universal insert is securedly and releasably attached to a secondary universal insert-receiving member.
4. The wheelchair basket of claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein, the primary and secondary universal inserts are adapted with wheelchair mating members adapted to each mount on a vertical member.
5. The wheelchair basket of claims 1, 2 or 3 wherein, the primary and secondary universal inserts are adapted with wheelchair mating members adapted to each mount on a rearward horizontal member.
6. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein, the telescopic tube assembly comprising an outer tube, and an inner tube having outer dimensions slightly lesser than the inner dimensions of the outer tuber thus allowing longitudinal motion therebetween.
7. The wheelchair basket of claims 1 and 6 wherein, the telescopic tube assembly further comprises an extension limiter having:
i. an outer tube insert stop engaged within the outer tube end distal to the hinge pivot, ii. an inner tube insert stop fixedly attached to the inner end of said inner tube distal to the hinge pivot.
iii. an inner limit rod with a capped end and a free end traversing first through a perforation within the center of the inner tube insert stop, then through a perforation within the center of the outer tube insert stop, iv. a set screw traversing both the end of the outer tube distal to the hinge pivot and threadedly engages through one side of said outer tube insert stop also distal to the hinge pivot, thus immobilizing the extension limiter's longitudinal motion.
i. an outer tube insert stop engaged within the outer tube end distal to the hinge pivot, ii. an inner tube insert stop fixedly attached to the inner end of said inner tube distal to the hinge pivot.
iii. an inner limit rod with a capped end and a free end traversing first through a perforation within the center of the inner tube insert stop, then through a perforation within the center of the outer tube insert stop, iv. a set screw traversing both the end of the outer tube distal to the hinge pivot and threadedly engages through one side of said outer tube insert stop also distal to the hinge pivot, thus immobilizing the extension limiter's longitudinal motion.
8. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein, a rigid planar sheet material -of substantially smaller dimensions than those of the basket's bottom portion- is fixedly attached to the upper surface of the outer tube so as to provide means of securely fastening the basket to said outer tube.
9. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein, a releasable catch is mounted to the secondary wheelchair-connecting member.
10. The wheelchair basket of claims I and 9 further comprising a release cord remotely attached to said catch and extending to the general seat area of said wheelchair thus allowing user to disengage said catch upon desire to do so.
11. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 further comprising a latch fixedly attached to the outer distal to the hinge pivot.
12. The wheelchair basket of claims 1 or 11 wherein, the latch is in mating alignment with the catch.
13. The wheelchair basket of claim 1 wherein the basket's long front and rear portions are substantially higher than the sides so as to ease access from the side while providing greater storage capacity and ability within said basket.
14. The wheelchair basket of claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or wherein the use thereof is to provide wheelchair users with a storage device incorporating the features of accessibility, sturdiness, ease of use and adaptability to various wheelchair models.
