A vehicle seat liner is used to allow manual extrication of an injured driver from the vehicle seat. The liner is formed of two rigid board elements disposed against those portions of said vehicle seat normally contacted by the back and buttocks of the operator when seated. The board elements are pivotally joined to each other adjacent the juncture of the aforesaid portions of the vehicle seat. This permits the driver to sit on the liner when in the seated position in the vehicle seat and to lie upon the liner when the board elements are pivoted relative to each other to form a substantially planar configuration. The liner also has handles, hand grips, straps, or the like, that can be grasped by rescue personnel reaching into the interior of the vehicle to extricate the driver. This permits rescuers to lift the liner and the driver from the vehicle seat and out of the vehicle while stabilizing of the head and spinal cord of the driver. |

The invention is a folding wheelchair (10) having as its basic elements a frame (12), a folding backrest (48), a removable headrest (60), a set of rotatable foot pads (66), a set of rotatable arms (54), a set of four wheels (76), and a set of foldable handles (84) carried on a pair of slidable and recessing arms (82). The wheelchair is rendered foldable via a spider mechanism (90) comprising a body (92) and four leg elements (94). The end portions (96), (98) of the leg elements (94) are pivotally secured to the frame (12). Folding and unfolding of the chair is carried out by use of a handle (114) which rotates a set of cams (118). When the handle is in the horizontal or "lock" position, the central portions (108) of the leg elements (94) are locked in the wheelchair "unfolded" condition. When the handle is in the vertical or "unlock" position, the leg elements (94) are free to slide along a set of guide slots (116), permitting the wheelchair to be folded. |
