Abstract
A lightweight, easily transportable wheelchair having seat-support frame members which are adjustably coupled to back-frame members so as to reciprocate up-and-down within guide slots formed in the back-frame members. Additionally, the front and back wheels, the armrests, and the footrests are readily detachable and attachable. This arrangement reduces the overall height, width and depth of the basic frame of the wheelchair to make for easy transportability when the detachable parts are removed.
