Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sliding arm mechanism for attaching to an arm of a wheelchair is provided herein. One concept is directed to a sliding arm mechanism that includes a main portion and an inner cavity. The sliding arm mechanism also includes a slide rail, which is adapted to be housed within the inner cavity of the main portion. The slide rail and the main portion are slidably coupled to allow the main portion to move laterally over the slide rail in a direction parallel to the top part of the arm of the wheelchair, thus allowing the main portion to move between a first position and a second position. In some embodiments, the first position corresponds to a full-length position and the second position corresponds to a desk-length position, such that a user can adjust the sliding arm mechanism to access a desk or table.
