To address such a safety problem of a wheelchair configured to interlock a footrest 1 and a brake lever 11 that when a person waits for an examination or takes a rest, with the footrest 1 lowered and the feet of a user placed on the footrest 1, a brake (a rear wheel) 4 is released and the wheelchair can move freely.SOLUTION: When a slide latch button 9 is pressed against a caster (a front wheel) 6, a tip of a brake bar 11 presses against a tire of the caster (the front wheel) 6 so as to apply a brake, thereby securing safety. When the brake is released, a brake release button 10 is pressed so as to raise the brake bar 11 and separate the brake bar from the tire of the caster (the front wheel) 6, thereby releasing the brake.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】フットレスト1とブレーキレバー11を連動した車いすでフットレスト1を下した状態でフットレスト1に足を乗せて診察待ちや休憩する場合ブレーキ(後輪)4は解除されていて車いすは自由に動くことができ、安全上問題である。【解決手段】キャスター(前輪)6に対しスライドラッチボタン9を押すことにブレーキバー11の先端がキャスター(前輪)6のタイヤを押し付けることによりブレーキが掛かり安全が確保できる。ブレーキを解除する場合はブレ―キ解除ボタン10を押すことによりブレーキバー11が上昇し、キャスター(前輪)6のタイヤから離れてブレーキは解除される。【選択図】図2
