CASTER WHEEL SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR A WHEELCHAIR AND WHEELCHAIR COMPRISING THE SAME
20200079153 · 2020-03-12 ·

There is described a caster wheel support assembly for a wheelchair, the caster wheel support assembly having a first section configured to be securable to a frame member of the wheelchair and a second section configured to hold a swivel member coupled to a caster wheel. The caster wheel support assembly has a holding member designed as a collet configured to hold a first portion of the swivel member, in which first portion extends along a first axis. A second portion of the swivel member, which is coupled to the caster wheel, extends away from the first portion along a second axis, in which second axis forms an angle relative to the first axis. The holding member and swivel member are configured such that the first portion of the swivel member is supported by the holding member to selectively allow rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member about the first axis and thereby cause adjustment of a camber of the caster wheel. The collet is configured to selectively allow clamping of the swivel member onto the holding member, thereby preventing rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member, and release of the swivel member with respect to the holding member, thereby permitting rotation of the swivel member relative to the holding member.

Caster installation system

A system includes (i) a caster having a first stem portion with a first stem portion connection configuration; and (ii) a set of second stem portions having an identical second stem portion connection configuration but having outer dimensions differing from outer dimensions of another second stem portion in the set of second stem portions.
