PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To descend a wheelchair adjacent to a boarding doorway and suspend it to elevate at the descending position even if a storage position of the wheelchair located above a roof of a vehicle is shifted from the boarding doorway in a vehicle longitudinal direction.SOLUTION: In a wheelchair storage device for the vehicle, a wheelchair K is received by a wheelchair supporting part 30 by elevating the wheelchair K by a suspending means 50, the wheelchair supporting part 30 is turned upwardly to a horizontal position, and after that, a movable table is slid to a storage position to store the wheelchair K above the roof of the vehicle. The wheelchair supporting part 30 includes a carrier 32 coupled to the movable table in a state that it can turn vertically, a protector 36 that can receive the wheelchair K suspended by the suspending means 50 and hold the wheelchair K, and guide mechanisms 33 and 38 coupling the protector 36 to the carrier 32 in such a state that the protector 36 can elevate and descend, and can move in the vehicle longitudinal direction with respect to the carrier 32.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】本発明は、車両の屋根上にある車椅子の格納位置と乗降口とが車両前後方向においてずれている場合でも、車椅子を乗降口の横に下ろし、またこの位置で吊り上げできるようにすることを目的とする。【解決手段】本発明に係る車両用車椅子格納装置は、吊り手段50により車椅子Kを上昇させてその車椅子Kを車椅子支持部30で受け、車椅子支持部30を水平位置まで上回動させた後、可動架台を格納位置までスライドさせて車椅子Kを車両の屋根上に格納する車両用車椅子格納装置であって、車椅子支持部30は、可動架台に上下回動可能な状態で連結されているキャリア32と、吊り手段50により吊られた車椅子Kを受けてその車椅子Kを保持可能なプロテクタ36と、キャリア32に対してプロテクタ36を昇降可能、かつ車両前後方向に移動可能な状態で連結するガイド機構33,38とを備えている。【選択図】図8
