PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To firmly fix a wheelchair housed in a vehicle, at a predetermined position through a simple operation.SOLUTION: A wheelchair fixing device 2 includes an electric winch 3 disposed forward of the floor F of a housing part 1a. A belt member 31 with a locking part 31a formed at one end is provided in the electric winch 3 such that the belt member 31 can be removed or inserted. The electric winch 3 pulls up a wheelchair 10 into the housing part 1a from the ground G through a slope 1d by pulling up the belt member 31 while the locking part 31a is locked to the frame 10a of the wheelchair 10. A locking member 4 is projected from the back of the floor F of the housing part 1a. A bridge member 5 is stretched in a frame 10b in the lower part of the wheelchair 10. The bridge member 5 is tightly locked on the locking member 4 from the back of the vehicle during pulling up the wheelchair 10 into the housing part 1a by pulling up the electric winch 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単な作業で車両内部に収容した車椅子を所定の位置で強固に固定する。【解決手段】車椅子固定装置2は、収容部1aのフロアF前方に配設された電動ウインチ3を有す。電動ウインチ3には、一端に係止部31aを有するベルト部材31が出し入れ可能に設けられている。電動ウインチ3は、係止部31aを車椅子10のフレーム10aに係止させた状態で、ベルト部材31の引き入れ操作により、車椅子10をスロープ1dを通って地面Gから収容部1aに引き上げる。収容部1aのフロアF後方には、掛止部材4が突設されている。車椅子10下部のフレーム10bには、架け渡し部材5が車幅方向に架け渡されている。架け渡し部材5は、電動ウインチ3の引き上げ動作により車椅子10を収容部1aに引き上げる過程で掛止部材4に車両後方から緊張状態で係止する。【選択図】図1
