A barrier-free wheelchair constructed entirely of plastic or non-metal
components. The device is designed to facilitate the passage of wheelchair
occupants through magnetometers, such as those utilized for airport
security. The present invention is non-collapsible in nature, as the
device is intended for on-site usage and not for transport in vehicles and
the like. Due to its materials and construction, the wheelchair of the
present invention also allows for a solid non-sling seat, is pilferage
resistant, and provides multiple surfaces upon which indicia, such as
corporate graphics, may appear. In addition, consistent with pre-existing
wheelchairs, the present invention allows for the removable attachment of
