Abstract
A wheelchair for handicapped people includes a frame structure which is carried by chair-rolling devices and which in turn carries a seat and back-support. The wheelchair is characterized in that the seat is divided longitudinally, preferably along a center line, and in that the seat parts are so journalled to the frame structure as to enable the seat parts to be swung outwardly on respective sides of the wheelchair, independently of one another.
