Abstract:
A reclining support for a wheelchair includes a supporting platform wall that supports all four wheels of a wheelchair on a surface, and which has a backstop wall for stopping the large rear wheels of a wheelchair so that the wheelchair is stably supported on the platform. Clamps are used for holding the frame on the platform, so that the wheelchair does not move. The platform is mounted onto a base frame through a pivot mounting so it can be tilted rearwardly, and also the platform is adjustable in a vertical direction relative to the base frame. The base frame has four wheels for stably supporting the platform.

Abstract:
A stand is made so that is can be installed or positioned adjacent to a sink, and has a tilt frame portion attachable to the frame of a wheelchair and operable to tilt or recline the wheelchair relative to a base frame so that a person in the wheelchair can conveniently have a shampoo at a sink basin. The wheelchair is first secured to the tilt frame with clamps. The stand includes an actuator that is operable to positively and safely tilt the tilt frame to recline the wheelchair rearwardly while a person is occupying the chair, so that the person's head will be adjacent and overlying the sink basin.
