Abstract:
Many individuals in wheelchairs are struck by motor vehicles while crossing roadways. Usually motorists fail to see them. This invention provides for a warning lamp apparatus for a wheelchair comprising: a mounting base adapted to be slidingly received and removed from the upper rear portion of the wheelchair; an upright support member extending from the mounting base; a lamp mounted on the top portion of the upright member; an umbrella support arm connected to the mounting base and a power supply means to illuminate the lamp. A preferred aspect of this invention provides for an apparatus as above wherein the mounting base is a generally horizontal U shaped member having a box connected thereto and the U shaped member slidingly received in a rear upper portion of the wheelchair. The box is adapted to carry the umbrella support arm and provide accessory storage for the rider. The apparatus may be readily removed when the wheelchair is used indoors or quickly installed when the wheelchair is to be used out of doors.
