WHEELCHAIR TRAY
The Wheelchair Tray is a lapboard designed to enable the user to eat or do other activities from their wheelchair and to provide some protection from spills. The tray is made of plywood with two sides that rest on the seatpan of the wheelchair. A vinyl seal is fixed to the inside edge of the tray to protect the user from spills. PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT: Designed by John Duffus as a more comfortable and practical eating surface for wheelchair users at a standard height tabletop that is not high enough to accommodate their chair. DIMENSIONS (LxWxD): 18 x 17 x 8 inches; trays should be custom fit to the user's wheelchair.
