Umbrella holder for wheelchair - version2

myminifactory

Umbrella holder for wheelchair. This device is a significant improvement over its predecessor, boasting a simpler design that consists of only three parts. As a result, printing time will undoubtedly be shorter, although it may lack a bit of sturdiness due to its reliance on the flexible properties of plastic. Furthermore, its ability to accommodate various umbrella handle sizes might be slightly limited. In contrast to the initial version, this new design allows users to adjust the umbrella's angle without requiring any tools. The concept for this device originated from observing a fellow wheelchair user getting soaked while wearing a cloak under the rain. It was clear that he would have greatly benefited from having an umbrella holder. This design is intended to be helpful to those who are less fortunate and unable to walk but still wish to venture out when it's raining. The device consists of three pieces of plastic (ABS or similar) that can be printed, along with two countersunk head screws M5x20 and two M5 nuts for secure attachment to the wheelchair. It is designed to fit any wheelchair tube with a diameter ranging from 22 to 25 mm. The umbrella can be easily detached without requiring tools. Although I haven't personally printed one of these devices (due to my lack of access to a 3D printer), I have thoroughly reviewed the design and am confident that it will assemble seamlessly, much like all my previous designs. If you encounter any issues or believe there's room for improvement, please don't hesitate to reach out at gcon114@gmail.com. I'll be more than happy to redesign it according to your suggestions. So go ahead and print this umbrella holder – enjoy the sunshine even on rainy days!
