  • the invention relates to wheelchairs. More specifically, the invention relates to a wheelchair assembly that is modular in construction, or has interchangeable modules configured for different modes of operation of the wheelchair.
  • Manually-propelled wheelchairs are conventionally comprised of a frame having a seat. Typically, the frame is mounted upon two large rear wheels and two small castered front wheels. Many wheelchairs provide grip rings, which are wheel-like structures somewhat smaller than the rear wheels, that are attached outboard of the rear wheels so that an occupant of the seat can apply torque to a rear wheel by gripping the corresponding grip ring and pushing it forward or pulling it back.
