Abstract
An improved snap-on height adjustment spacer clip is provided for height adjustment of wheeled frames including at least one ground-engageable wheel assembly. The snap-on clip includes a pair of mutually opposed, resiliently spreadable arms integrally connected at one end and disconnected at the opposite end. The clip arms are sized for embracing the spindle portion of the wheel assembly when installed, and are sized to permit the arms to yieldably flex toward and away from one another as the spindle passes transversely between the arms during installation and removal of the clip. The clip preferably includes a pair of mutually opposed, resiliently compressible hand knobs for use in clip installation and removal.
