Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and related methods relate to a removable power assist apparatus for changing a manual wheelchair into a motor wheelchair by enabling the wheelchair to move by fastening a friction roller and activating a motor to rotate wheels through force generated by the friction roller against wheels and a contact surface. The apparatus comprises: a friction roller fastened to a wheelchair wheel to be detachable and fastened to drive wheels through wheels and contact surfaces on the center of wheels and at the back of a wheelchair seat area; and a motor rotating the friction roller. The power assist apparatus may include a user-operable lever configured to fasten or detach the friction roller without leaving a sitting location on the wheelchair of a user. The present invention can allow a foldable wheelchair to be folded or unfolded without dismantling the power assist apparatus by positioning the friction roller on the center of wheels and at the back of the wheelchair seat area.
