ABSTRACT:
A wheel mount assembly for mounting a drive wheel to a frame of a wheelchair is provided. The assembly includes a camber body attachable to an axle of one of the drive wheels and operable to pivotably couple about the frame through a range of camber angles; a spacer operable to set a desired camber angle, the spacer contacting the camber body at the desired camber angle; and a clamp operable to secure the camber body and the spacer to the frame at the camber angle. Optionally, a transverse member, extending between the drive wheels, may engage a portion of the frame such that the clamp is prevented from pivoting through the camber angles of each respective camber body. Again, optionally, the wheel mount assembly may be clamped to the frame at a multitude of positions, thus facilitating adjustment of the center of gravity of the wheelchair.
