Abstract

A seat construction for a wheel chair includes a pivoted central panel and a handle and linkage for pivoting the panel from an occupant supporting position to an open position which enables the wheel chair to be wheeled over a conventional toilet for use thereof without transfer of the occupant from the wheel chair. The seat is clamped to the side frames of a conventional wheel chair. The linkage includes an over center action to lock the central panel in the closed position.
