| DAESSY MOUNTING SYSTEMS |
| The Daessy Mounting System is a component based system that allows for customisation and limitless configurations to meet mounting needs. Wheelchair Mounting for Communication Devices and Laptops • Locking Swing Away Mount • Folding Mount • Folding Mount ROP Version • Rigid Mount • Rigid Mount ROP Version • Rear Folding Mount • Lockable Rear Folding Mount • Desk Mount • Clamp Desk Mount • Custom Mounts • Individual Components |
| Locking Swing Away Mount - DLSA7 |
| The Locking Swing Away Mount consists of a single length of right-angle bent tube with a Release Cable Assembly running along the length of the tube used to operate the lock pin to allow the mount to be swung away from the user. • The user, for greater independence, may release the lock pin to swing the mount away. • Quickly removed from the wheelchair. • Non-directional. Will attach to either side of the wheelchair with the same components. • Suitable for most fixed seat wheelchairs. |
 |
 |
| Caution: The DLSA7 may not be suitable for use on very small, lightweight wheelchairs. In the swung away position the weight of the device may create an unbalanced situation. The DLSA7 is not suitable for scanning and head-pointer applications when the device must be located at head height. When swung to the side of the wheelchair the attached device is vulnerable to collision while driving as it protrudes outside the wheelchair side. Not suitable for Tilting Seat System. |
| Folding Mount - DFM2 |
| The Folding Mount can be folded down to the side of a wheelchair. It consists of two stainless steel tubes connected by a folding mechanism. When folded and removed from the wheelchair the Folding Mount forms a more compact until for storage or transportation. • Suitable for most standard wheelchairs. • Quickly removed from the wheelchair. • Non-directional. Attaches to either side of the wheelchair with the same components. • Folds from in-front down to the side. |
 |
 |
| Caution: In the folding position the attached device protrudes beyond the side of the wheelchair making it vulnerable to collisions if the wheelchair is moved or driven. It is recommended to remove the device from the mount. When folded the unbalancing effect of heavy devices mounted to small lightweight wheelchairs is reduced but not eliminated. It is advisable to remove the device and/or mount before the wheelchair is vacated. The User is unlikely to be able to perform the folding sequence independently; assistance is often required. Suitable for limited Tilt Seat Systems. The vertical tube must not be installed or moved beyond 15° during tilt. |
| Folding Mount ROP Version - DFM2ROP |
| The Folding Mount ROP Version is functionally identical to the standard Folding Mount (see above). The ROP Version allows for attachment to Tilting Seat Systems and installation beyond 15° for vertical. The Removable Outer Piece and Receiver that allows the mount assembly to be 'locked' in place replace the standard Outer Piece and Index Clamp. • Suitable for most wheelchairs. • Quickly removed from the wheelchair. • Non-directional. Attaches to either side of the wheelchair with the same components. • Folds from in front down to the side. • Suitable for Tilting Seat Systems. |

| Rigid Mount - DRM1 |
| The Rigid Mount provides a simple, highly adaptable and adjustable support for mounting communication devices or laptop computers. The mount consists of two stainless steel tubes joined by a rigid connection at a right angle. • Simple, sturdy and cost-effective. • Suitable for most standard wheelchairs. • Quickly removed from the wheelchair. • Non-directional. Attaches to either side of the wheelchair with the same components. • Can be lifted and swung to the side. • Easily converted to a Folding Mount DFM2. |
 |
Caution: The Rigid Mount can support equipment that is heavy enough to unbalance an unoccupied wheelchair when swung out to the side. It is recommended to remove the device and/or mount before the wheelchair is vacated. Suitable for limited Tilt Seat Systems. The vertical tube must not be installed or moved beyond 15° during tilt. |
| Rigid Mount ROP Version - DRM1ROP |
| The Rigid Mount ROP Version is similar to the standard Rigid Mount (see above). The ROP Version allows for attachments to Tilting Seat Systems and installation beyond 15° from vertical. The Removable Outer Piece and Receiver that allows the mount assembly to be 'locked' in place replace the standard Outer Piece and Index Clamp. • Simple, sturdy and cost-effective. • Suitable for most wheelchairs. • Quickly removed from the wheelchair. • Non-directional. Attaches to either side of the wheelchair with the same components. • Suitable for Tilting Seat Systems. |
 |
 |
| Caution: The Rigid Mount ROP Version can support equipment that is heavy enough to unbalance an unoccupied wheelchair when the attached device is positioned outside the wheelbase. It is recommended to remove the device and/or mount before the wheelchair is vacated. The Rigid Mount ROP Version cannot be swung to the side. The mount must be unlocked and removed for access to the user and during transfers. |
| Rear Folding Mount - DRFM6 |
| The Rear Folding Mount allows a device to be precisely positioned and is folded away behind the backrest when not needed. Two rotating joints, one at the frame clamp assembly and one behind the two tubes, permit a three step rearward folding action. • Folding from the front to behind the backrest placing the device in an unobtrusive and reasonably protected location when folded. • Fits either side of the wheelchair. • Suitable for most fixed seat power wheelchairs. • Remains attached to the wheelchair. |
 |
 |
| Caution: The user cannot perform the complete rear folding action and assistance is required. The device must be guided through the entire folding action and not permitted to drop suddenly on the forward or rearward stops. As the side tube passes down the side of the wheelchair during folding care must be taken that the user keeps their arm or hand clear. In the forward position the mount is unrestrained; if the wheelchair is driven with the mount in this position in the event of a collision the mount can travel back towards the user. When large devices are attached or a longer side tube is used the device may protrude behind the wheelchair when folded. Not suitable for Tilting Seat Systems. |
| Lockable Rear Folding Mount - DLRFM8 |
| Functions the same as the Rear Folding Mount with the added feature of a lock mechanism to keep the mount stationary when in the forward position. The lock mechanism is a directional component; when ordering you must specify which side of the wheelchair it will be installed onto (direction from the user's perspective). • Suitable for most power wheelchairs. Remains attached to the wheelchair. • Folds from the front to behind the backrest placing the device in an unobtrusive and reasonably protected location when folded. • Manually lockable in forward position. • Suitable for Tilting Seat Systems. |

As the side tube passes down the side of the wheelchair during folding care must be taken that the users keep their arm or hand clear. The lock mechanism is operated manually. Care must be taken to lock the mount when in the forward position and unlock prior to folding the mount to the rear. |
| Desk Mount - DM |
| The Desk Mount, as the name implies, allows for a device to be positioned at a precise angle while seated on a desk surface. Often used in conjunction with a DAESSY wheelchair mount, it allows the device to be transferred between locations easily and still oriented on the same angle for access. • Ideal companion for a DAESSY wheelchair mount. • Usable on any desk surface. |
 |
 |
| Caution: With large devices it is important to ensure the device is within the base area of the Desk Mount may slide about some surfaces when the device or touch screen is directly accessed. |
| Clamp Desk Mount - DMC |
| A variation on the standard Desk Mount the Clamp Desk Mount is provided with an attachment to fit the Manfrotto Super Clamp that can be attached to a table, desk or tray edge almost anywhere. The surface must be between 1/2" and 2" thick. • Precisely position a device at any angle. • Clamp to any suitable surface. Easily moved. |
 |
 |
| Caution: With large devices it is important to ensure the surface to which the clamp is fastened has sufficient strength to support the weight. The device should be positioned above the clamp. Care must be taken to ensure the clamp is properly installed prior to attaching the Clamp Desk Mount and device. |
