Harry  Jennings and his disabled friend Herbert Everest, both mechanical  
engineers, invented the first lightweight, steel, collapsible wheelchair in  
1933. Everest had broken his back in a mining accident.

The two saw the  business potential of the invention and went on to become 
the first  mass-manufacturers of wheelchairs: Everest and Jennings. Their 
"x-brace"  design is still in common use, albeit with updated materials and 
other  improvements.
