摘要： A wheel mount may generally be comprised of an axle plate and a camber tube clamp that may be height adjustable with respect to the axle plate. The camber tube clamp can be selectively mountable upright or inverted so as to increase an overall range of height adjustability. The camber tube clamp can be mountable in front of or behind the axle plate so as to increase an overall range of center-of-gravity adjustability. The camber tube clamp and the axle plate may have an interlocking feature that may allow the camber tube clamp to slide vertically along the axle plate to facilitate height adjustment. A seat collar can be positioned at various locations along a wheelchair frame for center-of-gravity adjustment. The axle plate can be detached from and attached to the seat tube collar to allow the axle plate and camber tube clamp to be reverse mounted in order to increase the range of center of gravity adjustment. A wheelchair suspension system according to the invention may be comprised of a swing arm and at least one elastomer. The swing arm may be adapted to support a rear wheelchair wheel and pivot about an axis substantially fixed to a wheelchair frame. The swing arm can be suspended between two of the elastomers, or be operatively connected to one elastomer so that displacement of the swing arm in either direction about the pivot causes the elastomer to compress.

摘要翻译： 车轮安装座通常可以包括轴板和拱形管夹，其可以相对于轴板高度可调。 外倾管夹可以选择性地直立或倒置安装，以增加高度可调整性的整体范围。 外弯管夹可以安装在轴板的前面或后面，以便增加重心的可调整性的整体范围。 外倾管夹和轴板可具有互锁特征，其可以允许弧形管夹沿着轴板垂直滑动以便于高度调节。 座椅轴环可以沿着轮椅架定位在不同的位置，用于重心调节。 轴板可以从座管套环拆下并连接到座管套环，以允许轴板和弧形管夹被反向安装，以增加重心调节范围。 根据本发明的轮椅悬挂系统可以包括摆臂和至少一个弹性体。 摇臂可以适于支撑后轮椅轮并围绕基本固定在轮椅架上的轴线枢转。 摆臂可以悬挂在两个弹性体之间，或者可操作地连接到一个弹性体，使得摆动臂在绕枢轴的任一方向上的位移导致弹性体压缩。
