Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wheelchair mounting device for an automobile in which a wheelchair can be mounted in a deck room.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A wheelchair can be mounted in the deck room, and a crane-type or slide-lift type mounting device that lifts an arm out of the passenger compartment for automatic storage is also well known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of these devices, the device itself is bulky, and the mounted wheelchair occupies the central portion of the deck floor surface, greatly restricting other uses. Furthermore, a guard mat must be used to prevent damage to the lower portion of the back door opening when the wheelchair is loaded and unloaded.
[0004]
In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair mounting device for an automobile in which a wheelchair is mounted in a deck room by effectively using a back door.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a wheelchair mounting device for an automobile in which a wheelchair can be mounted in a rear deck room according to claim 1, wherein the end in the vehicle width direction of the back door opening is a fulcrum. A single wheel mounting part for mounting a wheel occupying the rear side of both wheels of the wheelchair on the indoor side of the laterally open back door that can be opened as A wire hoisting device for raising and lowering a wheelchair with a wire for lowering is provided.
[0006]
The wheelchair is supported from below by placing one wheel on the rear side on the one-wheel placement section and supported from above by the wire of the wire hoisting device so as to restrain the tipping forward. According to the second aspect, when the belt for holding the wheelchair having the wheel mounted on the one-wheel mounting portion is detachably provided on the indoor side of the back door, the wheelchair is securely fixed to the back door. According to the third aspect, when the stopper for restraining the wheel from sliding forward is provided on the single wheel mounting portion, the single wheel is reliably mounted on the single wheel mounting portion. According to the fourth aspect, when the wheelchair is folded in the lateral direction, mounting in a more space-saving state is possible.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A vehicle wheelchair mounting apparatus according to an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 is a laterally open back that is pivotally attached to one end in the vehicle width direction of the back door opening 9a of the deck room 9 and bent upward from an intermediate position in the height direction. It is a door. A motor-driven wire hoisting device 10 is accommodated between the outer panel 1a of the back door and the trim 1b of the door inner panel. The wire 11 is led out from an outlet bush 12 which is guided by a pulley arranged in the window frame 1c and attached near the upper base end, and a wire support 13 is attached to the distal end portion thereof. The wire hoisting device 10 is provided with a wire brake, and releases the restraint of the wire 11 during operation.
[0008]
The door trim 1b is provided with a seesaw switch 16. When one end is pressed, the wire hoisting device 10 is actuated to lower the wire support 13 by a predetermined amount, and when the other end is pressed, the exit bush 12 is returned to the normal position in the vicinity.
[0009]
An arc plate-like single-wheel mounting portion 15 corresponding to the wheel 7a of the wheelchair 7 is provided below the central portion of the door trim 1b. This one-wheel mounting part has a slightly wider lateral width than the wheel 7a and the hand rim 7e, and a plate-like peripheral wall 15a standing in the vertical direction as a stopper at the outer end is formed integrally with the door trim 1b in an L-shaped section. ing. As shown in FIG. 2, hooks 17a attached to both ends of a belt 17 held from the outside in a mounted state of a wheelchair 7 folded in the lateral width direction are provided at the lower end of the front end side and the base end side of the wind frame 1c. A ring-shaped locking tool 18 that locks the ring is provided.
[0010]
When the wheelchair 7 is mounted so that the frame 7c on both sides can be folded from the normal use state in the width direction by the cross lever 7b pivotally supported by the middle portion, the back door 1 is opened. Then, by operating the seesaw switch 16, the wire support 13 is lowered to support the wire 14 hung on the handle 7d. The wire 14 is lifted by the switch operation, and the wheel 7a located on the rear side is raised above the peripheral wall 15a of the one-wheel mounting portion 15. Further, the wheel 7a is housed and placed in the one-wheel placing portion 15 by the switch operation, and the both ends are locked to the locking tool 18 while the front wheel 7a is held by the belt 17. Let
[0011]
As a result, the wheelchair 7 is supported from below by the one-wheel mounting portion 15, and the tipping forward is restrained by the braked wire 11 and the belt 17, and further, the belt and the peripheral wall 15 a against vibration during traveling. Even if it is kept stable. In this state, the wheelchair 7 is folded to occupy only a small space in the deck room 9 near the back door 1 and leaves sufficient space for loading other luggage. Moreover, the concave shape of the back door 1 can be used effectively. The loading and unloading of other loads can be performed smoothly with the back door 1 on which the wheelchair 7 is mounted opened. When the wheelchair 7 is lowered, the back door 1 is opened and the belt 17 is removed, and then the wheel 7 is slightly lifted by the operation of the seesaw switch 16 and the wheel 7a is taken out from the one-wheel mounting portion 15 and lowered to the ground. In some cases, it is possible to mount a non-folding wheelchair by devising a method of holding the belt 17 or its length.
[0012]
The one-wheel mounting portion is pivotable from a position along the trim 1b on the indoor side of the back door to a mounting position slightly upward from the horizontal and arranged in the vehicle width direction. Other embodiments are also conceivable. In this case, the lever also functions as a stopper due to the inclination.
[0013]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the back door itself becomes a crane and does not become bulky, and can be supported at the winding position by the wire hoisting device in a state where the single wheel is placed on the single wheel placement portion. Since it can be loaded and unloaded with the back door open, there is no worry of damaging the lower part of the door opening, and it will not interfere with loading or unloading of other packages. The occupied area of the deck floor surface remains only in the vicinity of the back door, and the deck floor surface can be used effectively. According to the invention of claim 2, the wheelchair can be securely fixed to the back door by mounting the belt at the time of mounting. According to invention of Claim 3, it becomes easy to also carry out the mounting operation | work of the wheel to a single-wheel mounting part. Even when a large vibration occurs during traveling, it is possible to reliably prevent the wheels from sliding forward. The configuration of the single wheel mounting portion can also be simplified. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the occupying range of the deck floor surface can be further saved by using the folding wheelchair as a mounting target.
