The lower end of the chuck includes two sidewalls, on the sidewalls being through holes, with the two sidewall forming a recessed space. Inside the recessed space is an arched end face. The recessed space of the chuck is aligned with and fixed to a bend of the armrest of the wheelchair. A positioning member between the through holes on the sidewalls presses against the bottom of the armrest bend. Two ends of the arched end face press against the upper end of the armrest bend, forming firm positioning effect by three points.
