Abstract
A number of pairs of plug-in chamber angle adjustment plugs are provided having preset angled bores for selection of a desired camber angle for the wheels of the wheelchair. The preset angles are embodies in cylindrical bores longitudinally disposed in the plugs, the bores attached or formed within the plugs at the desired camber angle and so positioned as to compensate for the change in wheelbase which would normally result from changing the camber angle. The stationary axle of the wheel is received and secured within the angled bore. The plugs bear a pattern of holes that may only be inserted in one alignment to attach to a mating pattern of holes in mounting plates formed in the rcesses in the sides of the chassis of the wheelchair. Alternatively, the mounting plate may have a keyway for attaching the plugs. Conventional screws are used to further secure the plugs within recesses in the chassis of the wheelchair.
