Claim Text:
1. An arm support for a wheelchair, the arm support comprising: a first support member including a first end and a second end spaced from the first end along a respective first direction, the first end defining a first cavity, and the first support member further including a first attachment member that extends through the first cavity so as to define an axis that extends along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction; a second support member having a first end and a second end spaced from the first end along a respective first direction, the second support member including an angled body member that extends between first and second ends of the second support member such that the second member is offset with respect to the first member along the second direction, the first end of the second support member being disposed within the first cavity such that the second support member is pivotally attached to the first support member by the first attachment member; and an actuator that extends through the first end of the second support member and through the first cavity along a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to at least the second direction, the actuator being operatively coupled to the second support member such that actuation of the actuator causes the second support member to pivot about the axis.
