PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lifting device for a vehicle capable of preventing a receiving body from being unnecessarily oscillated to an allowable posture by erroneous operation of a manual operation tool.SOLUTION: The lifting device comprises: the receiving body 38 provided at a boarding/alighting end of a mounting body 1 in such a state that it can rise and fall, and oscillate in a stopped posture to be upwardly risen and oscillated, and in an allowable posture to be outwardly fallen and oscillated a holding means 43 which is provided at the mounting body 1, and holds the receiving body 38 in the stopped posture the manual operation tool 39 for operating the holding means, which is provided in the mounting body 1 so as to be operated to move between a hold position in which the holding means 43 turns into a hold active state and a hold canceling position in which the holding means 43 turns into a hold canceling state and a restraining means 42 which restrains the manual operation tool 39 from moving in a hold canceling direction from the hold position to the hold canceling position, and cancels the restraining since the manual operation tool 39 is moved in a restraining canceling direction being different from the hold canceling direction. The manual operation tool 39 is constituted to be freely operated to move in the hold canceling direction as well as in the restraining canceling direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】手動操作具の誤操作により受け止め体が不必要に許容姿勢に揺動されることを防止できる車両用昇降装置を提供する。【解決手段】上方側に起立揺動させた阻止姿勢と外方側に転倒揺動させた許容姿勢とに起伏揺動自在な状態で載置体1の乗降用縁部に備えられた受け止め体38と、載置体1に備えられて受け止め体38を阻止姿勢で保持する保持手段43と、保持手段43が保持作用状態となる保持位置と保持手段43が保持解除状態となる保持解除位置とに移動操作可能に載置体1に備えられた保持手段操作用の手動操作具39と、手動操作具39が保持位置から保持解除位置へ向かう保持解除方向へ移動するのを牽制し且つ手動操作具39が保持解除方向とは異なる牽制解除方向に向けて移動されることにより牽制を解除する牽制手段42と設け、手動操作具39を、保持解除方向並びに前記牽制解除方向に移動操作自在に構成する。【選択図】図13
