Abstract
An angle adjustable camber assembly is adapted to support the wheel of a wheelchair having a seat, the rear of which is at a given rear seat height. The assembly comprises a movable member for supporting the wheel. The movable member is adapted to translate and rotate so as to be able to selectively position the wheel at any one of a variety of camber angles while substantially maintaining the rear seat height and a spacing between the top of the wheel and the seat frame.

An adjustable camber assembly for supporting the wheel of a wheelchair having a seat the rear of which is at a rear seat height, the assembly comprising:
- a camber tube;
- and
- a movable member for supporting the wheel, the movable member being adapted to translate and rotate so as to be able to selectively position the wheel at any one of a variety of camber angles while substantially maintaining the rear seat height and spacing between the top of the wheel and the seat frame.
A wheelchair comprising:
- a seat including a frame, having an outside thereof, and a rear elevated to a rear seat height;
- a camber tube;
- a wheel with a top thereof;
- and
- an adjustable camber assembly supporting the wheel, the assembly comprising a movable member that translates and rotates so as to selectively position the wheel any one of a variety of camber angles while substantially maintaining the rear seat height and spacing between the top of the wheel and the outside of the seat frame.
An adjustable camber assembly comprising:
- a camber tube that is adapted to be secured to the axle plate of a wheelchair;
- an axle slide to which a rear wheel axle is adapted to be attached, the slide having one of more cross-holes with dowel pins extending therethrough so that opposing ends of the dowel pins protrude beyond the opposing sides of the slide;
