PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wheel cover set for a wheelchair, which can be easily and quickly mount on wheels in the occurrence of a disaster, which can make the wheels run while preventing wheel inner tubes from being punctured, and which can also manage to keep any punctured wheel in a running state.SOLUTION: A protective shape-retaining cover member 13 is elastically deformed in a shape to be fitted to the outer periphery of a tire 10 in a wheel 8 of a wheelchair. The protective shape-retaining cover member 13 has an arcuate side face to be mounted in a state covering the outer periphery, and is prepared for the number of pieces that nearly continuously cover the entire periphery of the tire 10. The cover member 13 has a nearly semi-circular cross-sectional shape which covers the outer periphery and a side face shape which curves roughly with the same curvature as that of the circumferential direction of the tire 10 and which arcuately extends with a length of about a fraction of the circumferential length of the tire 10. The center part in the width direction in contact with the grounding face of the tire 10 is provided with a high hardness, and both side parts in the width direction are provided with flexibility of being elastically deformed in the width direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】災害発生時に簡単、且つ迅速に車輪に装着でき、車輪をこれのチューブにパンクが発生するのを防止しながら走行させることができ、また、パンク発生した車輪を何とか走行可能状態とすることができる車椅子用車輪カバーセットを提供する。【解決手段】車椅子の車輪8におけるタイヤ10の外周面にこれを嵌め入れる形状に弾性変形して被せる状態に装着される側面弧状の保護保形カバー部材13が、タイヤ10の全周を略連続的に覆う個数だけ設けられ、保護保形カバー部材13が、外周面を覆う略半円形の断面形状と、タイヤ10の周方向の曲率と略同じ曲率で湾曲してタイヤ10の周方向長さの略複数分の1の長さで弧状に延びる側面形状とを有し、タイヤ10の接地面に接する幅方向中央部分が高い硬度を有し、且つ幅方向両側部分が幅方向に弾性変形する可撓性を有している。【選択図】図2
