Abstract

Problem at hand: When transporting a passenger seated in a wheelchair in the back of an automobile, the rear seats may need to be stowed or removed to accommodate the wheelchair such that the automobile loses seating capacity. Solution to the problem: A device (1) for positioning the rear seat (2) of an automobile comprising at least two opposite side brackets (3) for mounting the seat (2) to the floor (4), each bracket (3) being equipped with at least one retaining pin (7) for locking it to the lock (5) of the seat (2), further comprising at least one post (6) arranged under the seat (2) between the brackets (3) and secured to the floor (2) which is also equipped with at least one retaining pin (7) for locking it to the lock (5) of the seat (2). The post (6) is equipped with a means for positioning the retaining pin (7) forward and backward, while the retaining pins (7) in the brackets (3) are movable forward and backward, while the retaining pins (7) can be locked at least in the extreme positions forward and backward.

Abstract

A device (1) for fastening a loose object, especially a wheelchair (11), onto the floor (17) of a vehicle consisting of a winch drum (2) equipped with a latch arranged under the floor (17) in a cavity fitted with a lid, and of a tension strap (3) woundable at one end onto the winch drum (2) and fitted at the other end with a fastening means. To reduce the demand for vehicle space and for easy handling, the winch drum (2) is formed by a self-winding retractor, and the device (1) is equipped with a guiding means (8) for the tension strap (3), which is arranged parallel to the axle (26) of the winch drum (2) on the output side of the strap (3) from the winch drum (2). The strap is led through a guiding means (8) counter-directionally back towards the winch drum (2), whereby when exiting from the device (1) it passes over the winch drum (2) along a vertical plane that includes the axle (26) of the winch drum (2).

Abstract

A foldable ramp allowing the entry of a passenger bound to a wheelchair into a vehicle designed for vehicles (4) with a lowered floor well (5) for transportation of a wheelchair (2) consisting of a ramp (6, 6', 6") operating in three positions. The ramp is provided on its sides with carriers (7) movably connected to tiltable side parts (8) rotationally attached to the lower edge of the floor well (5). The movable connection of the carriers (7) to the tiltable side parts (8) is created with the possibility of change of position of the ramp (6, 6', 6") in respect of the tiltable side parts (8) when changing from the transport position of the ramp (6') into the passive position of the ramp (6") applying a rotationally translational movement such that in the passive position the tiltable side parts (8) are extended vertically and the ramp (6") lies horizontally on the level of the upper edges of the floor well (5) as well as on the level of the tiltable side parts (8).
