Patent ID: 6929100

Claim:
A wheel locking assembly for substantially preventing rotation about an axis of a wheelchair wheel or tire, comprising: a first wheel stop and a second wheel stop for mounting to opposite sides of a wheelchair frame: said first wheel stop including a mounting bracket, a first displaceable wheel-engaging member, and an actuating lever operably connected to said first displaceable wheel-engaging member; and said second wheel stop including a mounting bracket and a second displaceable wheel-engaging member; and substantially continuously flexible linkage connecting said second displaceable wheel-engaging member to said first displaceable wheel-engaging member; whereby biasing said actuating lever in a first direction pivots the first wheel-engaging member into contact with a first wheel or tire and concurrently pivots the second wheel-engaging member into contact with a second, opposed wheel or tire of said wheelchair, and biasing the actuating lever in a second, opposed direction concurrently pivots the first and second wheel-engaging members away from contact with the first and second wheel or tire.
