ABSTRACT:
Adjustable wheelchair with a frame on whose sides the wheel axles of hand-driven rear wheels are mounted on mounts provided on the frame with a negative camber, i.e., closer together at top than at bottom. The mounts each have a mounting part in which there is an inclined bore hole holding the rear wheel axle in order to achieve the negative angle. The mounting parts 16 of the wheel axles 8 on both sides are arranged so they can rotate independently of each other in the respective mounts 6 and can be secured in any set rotational position. By releasing the mounts, the mounting parts can be rotated to change the direction of the rear wheels to eliminate toe-in or tow-out. Thus, any desired variation in the angle of the rear wheels is possible and/or any toe-in or toe-out tendency can be corrected.
