Rigid Mount
 |
- The DAESSY Rigid Mount provides a simple but highly adaptable and adjustable support structure for Mounting laptop computers or communication devices on wheelchairs.
- The Mount consists of two lengths of tube Rigidly connected to form a right angle structure. The Mounted device is attached to a horizontal tube crossing the wheelchair and supported by a vertical tube in a clamp that is permanently attached to the wheelchair.
- Both left or right-hand Mounting are possible and the Mount can be precisely positioned for accessibility by the user.
- The device may be quickly detached from the Mount, and to allow unimpeded access to the user the Mount may be lifted up completely out of the frame clamp or it may slightly lifted and swung to the side.
- All common wheelchair frame tube sizes, shapes and orientations can be accommodated.
- Variations can be made in the length and shape of the tubes, and in the other parts, to adapt the Rigid Mount to any wheelchair.
- The most basic of the DAESSY Wheelchair Mounting Assemblies is the DAESSY Rigid Mount - DRM1.
- This mount consists of two lengths of stainless steel tube joined to form a right angle structure that is supported on the wheelchair by a Frame Clamp Assembly permanently attached to either the left or right side of the wheelchair.
- The Frame Clamp Assembly is composed of a Frame Clamp Inner Piece and a Frame Clamp Outer Piece.
- The Inner Piece is clamped to the wheelchair frame while the Outer Piece holds the Vertical Tube.
- An Index Clamp secured around the lower end of the Vertical Tube engages with a positioning pin on the Frame Clamp Outer Piece to position the tube and prevent rotation.
- The mounted device is attached to a quick release plate, either directly or with use of a specific adapter, and attached to the Horizontal Tube of the mount assembly by means of a Quick Release Base that secures the device and allows for quick detaching of the device from the mount.
- The complete mount can be lifted out of the Frame Clamp and removed from the wheelchair leaving only the Frame Clamp assembly attached to the wheelchair frame.
- Additionally, the mount can lifted enough to disengage the Index Clamp and swung away from the user through 90º or 180º and then lowered to re-engage the Index Clamp in either of these positions.
- A Tube Connector (TC90) joins the Horizontal and Vertical Tubes of the DAESSY Rigid Mount - DRM1 at a fixed 90º angle.
- The mount can be lifted slightly until the positioning pin is cleared and rotated away from the user positioning it at 90º increments.
