Abstract:
Germ shields which can be retro-fitted to existing wheelchairs or included in the design of a typically manually-propelled wheelchair to prevent contamination or soiling of the sleeves of a user by contact of the shirt sleeves with the large wheels of the wheelchair as the user propels himself or herself in the wheelchair. The germ shields of the present invention are broadly characterized by an elongated, arcuate cover which engages the wheelchair and covers a substantial upper curvature or portion of a large wheel on the wheelchair.
