This folding wheel-chair is characterized by a rigid seat and a rigid back-rest and that is nevertheless of simple construction and operation. This folding wheel-chair comprises a pair of opposite sides, each including an upper portion upwardly slidable relative to a corresponding lower portion, a pair of braces articulated to each other intermediate their ends and to the lower and upper portions at their opposite ends about fore and aft axes, a pair of offsetting arms pivotally supporting one side of the rigid seat on the upper portion of one side of the wheel-chair, supporting members removably resting on the upper portion of the other side of the wheel-chair, and a rigid back-rest foldable over the rigid seat for bodily pivoting therewith to an upwardly edgewise position between the opposite sides of the wheel-chair upon folding of the latter.

A folding wheel-chair operatively comprising a pair of opposite sides, an articulated bracing hinged to the opposite sides and folding therewith from an unfolded position to a folded position of the opposite sides with the latter, in their folded position, extending in laterally closer spaced-apart relationship, each of said opposite sides including a seat-carrying rod longitudinally extending in the fore and aft direction, a rigid base seat, at least one offsetting arm longitudinally extending laterally relative to said opposite sides and having an inner end pivotally connected to the rigid base seat under the same and intermediate its side edges, and an outer end pivotally connected to the seat-carrying rod of one of said opposite sides, with said one offsetting arm longitudinally extending laterally under the rigid base seat in supporting relationship therewith in the unfolded position of said opposite sides and upwardly and laterally offsetting the rigid base seat relative to said one side edge of said rigid base seat in the folded position of said opposite sides, a support device fixedly secured to said rigid base seat adjacent its other side edge and including a cylindrically concave bottom portion axially extending in the fore and aft direction for removably resting operatively onto the seat-carrying rod on the other of said opposite sides in the unfolded position of said opposite sides, and a rigid base back-rest hinged to the rigid base seat and operatively foldable from an erected operative position to a folded inoperative position over the rigid base seat.
