The photo above shows a Manual Tilt wheelchair. The red letters indicate potential Frame Clamp Locations. The blue numbers indicate potential obstructions which must be avoided.

Frame Clamp Locations

If the mounted device is to be used while the chair is in the tilted configuration the Frame Clamp must be attached to the tilting seat system; The letter A indicates a potential attachment location. The seat frame tubing is not fully accessible on the top side thus a Side Mount Inner Piece or Front Side Mount Inner Piece would be required. Alternatively a Multi-hole Adapter for Round Tube (MH3R/IPA) could be attached through the holes in the seat frame tubing. Mounting to a tilting seat system requires that a Removable Frame Clamp be used (RFCR+ROP).

If it is not necessary for the DAESSY Mount to be tilted, the Frame Clamp Inner Piece may be attached on the fixed wheelchair frame; The letters B and C indicate possible locations. The angle of the tubing to which the Frame Clamp Inner Piece is attached is not important, as the Swivel Clamp connection can be made at any angle.

Obstructions

The blue numbers indicates obstructions. The mount tubes must not interfere with operation of the brake lever, 1. The lower end of the Vertical Tube which protrudes through the Frame Clamp Outer Piece must not interfere with the spinning of the front caster wheel, 2. The number 3 indicates a removable foot-rest which is not a suitable location for attaching a mount.

Frame Clamp Locations

If the mounted device is to be used while the chair is in the tilted configuration the Frame Clamp must be attached to the tilting seat system; The letter A indicates a potential attachment location. A Multi-hole Adapter (MH3/IPA) could be attached through the holes in the seat frame tubing. Mounting a Rigid Mount or Folding Mount to a tilting seat system requires that a Removable Frame Clamp be used (RFCR+ROP). A Lockable Rear Folding Mount may also be attached at this location.

If it is not necessary for the DAESSY Mount to be tilted, the Frame Clamp Inner Piece may be attached on the fixed wheelchair frame; The letters B indicates a possible location.

Obstructions

The blue numbers indicates obstructions. The mount tubes must not interfere with or touch the drive controls, 1. If a Lockable Rear Folding Mount is installed on a tilting chair, there must be sufficient room behind the backrest of the chair to store the device, 2. The lower end of the Vertical Tube which protrudes through the Removable Frame Clamp Outer Piece must not touch the plastic cowling of the wheelchair - it may be necessary to order a shorter than standard Vertical Tube, 3.



Frame Clamp Assembly (UFC1000IP + UFCOP) installed on 1 inch diameter tubing on lightweight manual wheelchair.


Frame Clamp Outer Piece moved up and forwards using Offset Link.


UFCSTIP - Frame Clamp Inner Piece for Storm series wheelchairs, tubing size 1-3/8" by 2-1/4" installed with Offset Link and Frame Clamp Outer Piece. The UFCSTIP may be installed above or below the rectangular tubing and can be placed well forward near the caster wheel or further back.


Frame Clamp Assembly mounted on lower frame tube on wheelchair very close to the caster wheel. The height adjustment available by moving the Index Clamp on the Vertical Tube will be limited to the distance between the bottom of the outer piece and the caster wheel as described in the text.


The Frame Clamp Assembly has been moved further back on the same lower tube as the preceding picture to clear the caster wheel.


The Frame Clamp has been moved to an upper tube on the same wheelchair as the two previous pictures. The Vertical Tube can be shorter than in the two previous locations and several inches of height adjustment by moving the Index Clamp is possible. Front-to-back adjustment of several inches is also possible on this wheelchair.


Rear Folding Adapter and Frame Clamp Inner Piece attached to upper tube on wheelchair. These pictures were taken using a Power Wheelchair without motors or batteries. Not visible in this view are the two Frame Clamp Spacers (UFCSPCR) used to move the Rear Folding Adapter out to clear the brake lever.


Frame Clamp Assembly for the LOCKING SWING-AWAY MOUNT using two Offset Links to mover the outer piece up and forward. The height adjustment available by moving the Locking Swing Away Index Clamp (ICLSA) on the vertical section of the tube will be limited by the caster wheel.


Frame Clamp Inner Piece for 1 inch square tube attached directly to the seat frame with one Offset Link moving the outer piece still higher.


The Side Mount Frame Clamp Inner Piece (UFCxxxxSMIP) may be attached to a tube that is not readily accessible on all sides.


The Side Mount Frame Clamp Inner Piece can be clamped onto a tube that is not straight. The picture shows it attached to the frame of a lightweight manual wheelchair.
