When preparing to fold up a chair, the first thing that a person must ensure is that all locks and pins are secured. This will prevent the chair from being disengaged during transport or causing damage other objects in a vehicle.
Most folding wheelchairs feature cross-braces that collapse the frame when the sides are pushed together. There are other options for collapsible wheelchairs, such as scissor brackets that fold the seat in half, and "quick-release axles" which make it easier to place the chair in tiny spaces.

Rigid Wheelchairs have solid frames that can be folded up into a box-like form to be transported and stored.

The hinges, or uprights, should be clearly labeled and are usually slightly higher than the armrests. It is essential to identify and align the different parts of the chair to ensure that they remain in the folded position you want them to be.
Wheelchairs that are able to be reduced in size to make them suitable for storage and transport are referred to as collapsible or folding wheelchairs. They are typically self-propelled and include an adjustable backrest that folds down to reduce height and a vertical 'X' frame to reduce the width. The steerable front wheel and rear load wheels are mounted on brackets that pivot onto the upper and lower bars of the sidewalls, which also support the uprights.
When the chair is fully open position, the slides 61 and 64, and 62 (see Figs. The links 61, 62 (see Figs. 2) of each slide are bent and the uprights 9 are not capable of being moved from one another when the handles are raised.

Once the wheelchair has been locked and secured, it can be safely placed in its bag for transport.
Seat and Backrest
The backrest and seat of a wheelchair are designed to offer support, stability, comfort and pressure relief. They also aid in preventing ulcers, pressure sores and reduce discomfort for individuals that spend prolonged periods of time sitting.

They do not fold up travel wheelchair and require a huge vehicle to transport. They are usually considered wheelchairs for athletes who are young and sports-minded individuals, but they can be used by anyone who requires more stability than can be offered by heavy duty folding wheelchair chairs.
Many wheelchairs are made of carbon fibre, which is extremely lightweight and durable. The use of this material may however increase costs. Certain manufacturers have discovered that mixing titanium with carbon fiber helps to keep costs down.
Folding wheelchairs can be stored in a cupboard, a storage space, or in the boot of a vehicle for transportation to doctor's appointments, social gatherings or family events. Even when on vacation!

Wheels
Wheels are the most important component of a wheelchair, particularly for those who require mobility because of a medical condition that limits their ability to walk or move independently. For those with disabilities, the quality of the wheels, tyres, and casters can make an enormous difference in their daily life.

This model was created by the same person who created bicycle wheels that fold. It is based on an internal hub that has six aluminum structures that fold in place of traditional spokes. It also features an aluminum rim that is divided into six interlocking sections, and wrapped in a long foam-filled tire. The wheel is half the size a 24-inch wheel for wheelchairs.
The wheel is still a prototype but it has already generated an interest in the disabled community. It was nominated for the Design Museum's Designs of the Year 2013 alongside a library in South London and a stool that was shaped by magnets.
While these wheels aren't yet available for most wheelchairs yet however, the designers behind their development are working to get them on the market as quickly as they can.
