H description

The invention relates to a mounting for a removable wheelchair which can be used as a front seat in cars Wheels in the form of a releasably attacking the wheelchair with its free end, lifting the wheelchair Swivel arm, which is located on an inside of the car on the floor pan or on the chassis of the Column arranged in a trolley, fixed opposite the column * legible leads.

For a handicapped person, especially a paraplegic, who is dependent on a wheelchair, he will help Using a car the problem of getting into the car. Still having sufficient mobility Experienced people are able to lift themselves into the car, but it usually prepares them for them too Difficulty stowing the wheelchair used outside the car, even if it is there a comparatively easy-to-use FaIt wheelchair acts.

It has also been proposed to ^{lift the wheelchair used outside the car f} s into the car, where it then punctures the car seat.

In a previously known solution of this kind in the rear of the car ^s s a column is installed on the check a Gelenkann height-adjustable and pivotable of the wheelchair performs be coupled is "With this apparatus, _a the free end of a correspondingly-shaped side part of the wheelchair lifted with the disabled Guest and swiveled in and out of the car after the wheels have been removed. “However, the assignment of this known device to the car is space-consuming - there is hardly any space for passengers in the rear of the car - and the device itself and the wheelchair must be extremely stable designed xverden, since a very long swivel arm is required and the swivel arm only engages on a side part of the wheelchair.

Starting from the last outlined prior art, the invention is in particular the object> to design such storage for one as a front seat in cars ^e s usable wheelchair so * that it takes particular less space, but beyond static better solves the load case.

The object is achieved according to the invention with a mounting of the type outlined at the outset, which is characterized by is that the column of the so-called floor pan of the car and / or the door sill and the Cardan tunnel in front of the seat in the area adjacent to the door hinges is assigned and the free end of the swivel arm into an inwardly protruding seat body of the rolling steel that can be pushed onto it from the front underpinning condition passes.

The embodiment of the storage provided according to the invention proves to be opposite to the previously known storage as beneficial in several ways. Such is the arrangement of the column carrying the swivel arm in front of the seat in the area adjacent to the door hinge, where you can also use a comparatively short swivel arm gets by, comparatively space-saving. In particular, there is then no impairment of the Placement options in the rear of the car. Furthermore, keep in view of the comparatively short Swivel arm and the way in which the swivel arm acts on the wheelchair - the seat body of the wheelchair is controlled by the A swivel arm designed for this underpins - the dimensioning or design of the bearing is within limits. Even the wheelchair itself does not need anything beyond the usual

out-going interpretation »

According to a preferred embodiment, the support provided at the free end of the swivel arm is from formed a U-profile open towards the free end whose side is in the open · = provided in the seat body Insert took »At the free end of the swivel arm * ^ uflage provided sliding pieces or support rollers facilitate the assignment of the support to the seat body.

The stroke of the swivel arm to lift the wheelchair over can be achieved by shifting the swivel arm on the column supporting it in the vertical, however also by tilting the swivel arm in relation to the column. Is the creation of the stroke by tilting the Swivel arm provided opposite the column., It proves This is found to be expedient, with the insertion of a boom pivotably arranged on the column, on which the The swivel arm is articulated so that it can be tilted to effect "

In particular, the stroke of the swivel arm is usually effected hydraulically. This is what hydraulic systems are for to disposal. The swivel arm is actuated, including its fixation in the end position Via an operating lever which is expediently in the alignment of the swivel arm above the swivel arm

extends towards the seat Mn.

In the drawing, the invention is very schematic Way presented. Show it:

Figure 1 shows a partially shown car

with assigned wheelchair in lift position,

Figure 2 is a view of the situation in Figure 1 in the direction of arrow II in Figure 1,

Figure j5 that of the situation in Figures 1 and

2 previous situation in Figure 2 corresponding ear division.

The car 11 in Figure 1 is designed for a wheelchair-bound driver, ie the storage according to the invention is located in the driver's seat area. The car hood 111, left front wheel 112, dashboard 113 including steering wheel Ilj5 are recognizable ^! , Front window 114, driver's door 115, floor assembly 116, left door sill 116 *, transmission tunnel ll6 ^M , rear 117 and left rear wheel 112 *.

The wheelchair 21 assigned to the car can be seen better in detail in FIG. 3. Sr consists essentially of the Seat body 211, to which on the one hand the backrest 212 and on the other hand the footrest 213 are hinged in a tiltable manner and the one with removable front (214) and rear

wheels 214 ^{1 is} provided, the rear wheels 2l4 ^! are arranged on trailing arms 215 pivotable against the seat body 211. Armrests 216 with actuating levers 217 extend from the backrest.

The storage or device for lifting the wheelchair body 21 ^f in the passenger car 11 consists of a ^{column J512, which is arranged on a web JI1 which extends between the door sill II6 8} and the cardan tunnel 116 ″ and is supported against the floor pan 116; 313 is arranged pivotably (double arrow A _s A ^f in FIGS. 1 and 3), to which a swivel arm J514 is articulated in a tiltable manner (double arrow B, B ^f in FIG. J) placed in the vicinity of the articulation of the driver's door II5. The free end of the swivel arm 314 is U-shaped and the legs 3141, 3142 fit into receptacles 2111, 2112 on the seat body 211 of the wheelchair 21 (in particular Figures 2 and 3).

To lift the wheelchair 21 into the car 11, the swivel arm 314 is swiveled out of the car 11 (arrow A ^? ) Into the height position H shown in FIG. 3 and the wheelchair 21 then in the direction of

move the swivel arm 314 towards (arrow C in FIG. 3), the legs 314 - 1, 3142 inserting into the receptacles 2111 and 2112 on the seat body 211 of the wheelchair 21. The pivot arm 314 is then tilted in the direction of arrow B (H *). The wheels 214, 214 ′ are then removed from the wheelchair 21. The swivel arm 314 with the wheelchair body 21 ^l under which it catches is then swiveled into the car 11 (arrow A). In the car 11, the wheelchair body 21 * is then lowered (H ^Tt ) by a corresponding tilting movement in the opposite direction of the swivel arm 314 in the direction of arrow B ¹ , the body 21 * in the car 11 assuming a driving position.

The tilting movements (double arrows B, B ^f ) of the swivel arm and thus the raising and lowering of the wheelchair 21 or the chair body 21 * are effected via a hydraulic system (not shown in detail) that is assigned to the column 312 and the boom 313 or is integrated therein . An actuating lever 315 extending in alignment with the boom 314 above the boom in the direction of the free end of the boom enables the wheelchair-bound driver to operate the device from the wheelchair 21.

The wheels 2l4 ′ removed from the wheelchair body 21 ^s can be stowed roughly as indicated in FIG. That includes the storage of the rear wheels 2l4 in particular ^! elsewhere not off, in order to be able to place passengers in the rear 117 of the car j 11 «
