Wheelchairs do not provide enough space to integrate and transport a suitcase / luggage. In addition, no device or accessory is provided for this use.

Therefore a wheelchair user cannot transport suitcases or luggage of a certain weight and volume for reasons of comfort, safety and convenience. - Statement of the invention

The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.

In fact, it is made up of a rectangular steel frame that overlaps at the top at the wheelchair push handles and at the bottom at the wheelchair anti-tip pedals.

Polyurethane plates are targeted on the side and bottom of the chassis constituting the place for the suitcase or luggage. A nylon push strap is attached to the back allowing entry and exit of the suitcase or luggage. The removable luggage rack chassis is supported by two wheels allowing the device to be balanced and stable. The dimensions of these wheels are variable depending on the wheelchair to be equipped. We based ourselves on the dimensions of a 15kg suitcase, i.e. 55cm (length) x 40cm (width) x 20cm (height). Therefore the dimensions of the device are as follows: 50cm (length) x 43cm (width) x 80cm (height). Installation is simple and retractable. This device allows a third person to push a person on a wheelchair with a suitcase or luggage.
