Wheelchair dancing poles
The client really enjoys wheelchair dancing. However, since the wheelchair handles are at the rear of the chair, his partner has to stand behind him to push the chair round the dance floor. Some means of enabling the chair to be pushed from the front was required.
A pair of poles was constructed, that could be quickly attached to and removed from the wheelchair. The poles were covered with chrome plated wardrobe rail to give a smooth finish for the partner to grip, and had a rotating wooden doorknob at the top end so that the partner could spin the chair easily during the more difficult dance manoeuvres.
The client can now face his partner while dancing.
