The KM-204 Wheelchair Tube Clamp S Size Knuckle is an innovative solution designed to enhance the functionality of wheelchairs. This product is a testament to the ingenuity in adaptive technology, aiming to make daily activities more manageable for individuals with mobility challenges. Central to its design is the S size (3") Super Knuckle Arm, featuring a ball head with a 1/4"-20 female thread. This specific design is compatible with the KUPOCARE Switch Mounting Plates that mount AbleNet and Pretorian switches/joysticks, making it an ideal choice for a range of users. The Super Knuckle Arm is crafted from durable aluminum and boasts two ball head joints. These joints are key to the arm's versatility, allowing users to adjust the angle of mounted AAC switches effortlessly. The convenience of adjusting and locking the position by simply tightening the central knob adds to its user-friendly appeal.
The Wheelchair Tube Clamp, which forms an integral part of this set, exemplifies stability and adaptability. It mounts directly into the Super Knuckle Arm and can be securely attached to various wheelchair frame tubes. Recognizing the diversity in wheelchair designs, the clamp comes with three plastic spacers and a rubber strip, enabling it to fit tubes ranging from 3/4" (19 mm) to 1-1/4" (32 mm) in diameter. This flexibility ensures that the clamp can cater to a wide array of wheelchairs, making it a versatile accessory. Additionally, its design facilitates easy attachment and detachment, simplifying the process for users. It is advisable to keep the tube clamp affixed to the wheelchair to avoid the need for frequent remounting, further enhancing the user experience.
Beyond its primary function, the KM-204 set showcases its versatility through its compatibility with various devices. Not only can it mount AbleNet and Pretorian switches, but it can also support any equipment featuring a 1/4"-20 male thread. This adaptability extends to creative uses like crafting a "homemade Velcro mounting board with ball head." Such applications are demonstrated in a tutorial video, underscoring the product's utility in mounting lightweight devices like AAC switches and joysticks. Users benefit from the ability to adjust the mount's angle with the Super Knuckle Arm, offering a degree of customization and flexibility that is rare in adaptive technology products. This set is not just a tool; it's an enabler of independence and ease in daily activities, reflecting a deep understanding of the needs of its users.
