Definitions

  • This invention relates to passenger-carrying vehicles specially adapted for carrying disabled passengers in wheelchairs. It is primarily concerned with taxicabs with provisions for taking a wheelchair, but may also be found to be of value in light minibuses.
  • the aim of the present invention is to make this possible in a convenient manner, and without incursion into the space available for normal use of the vehicle.
  • a passenger-carrying vehicle in particular a taxi, has at least one door opening of a standard lateral width sufficient to take an erected wheelchair and the door which closes that opening is provided on its inner face with a recess or compartment which receives, in folded or otherwise collapsed form, a pair of ramps which are capable of being extended and placed in position between the sill of the opening and the ground.
  • the ends of the ramps and the sill have inter-engaging means, such as pegs and sockets, to locate those ends securely and eliminate any danger of the ramps being displaced as a wheelchair is pushed up them.
  • the ramps are of channel section and are hinged at the midpoints of their lengths; this reduces them, when folded, to a length which allows them to be placed horizontally one above the other in the compartment which occupies the greater part of the inside of the door below the waist rail.
  • the ramps may be secured in their stowed position by a strap or straps, and the compartment is preferably closed by a panel which conceals them completely.
  • a latch which holds the panel closed is released by a catch mounted in the free edge of the door, i.e. that opposite the hinge, and so the panel cannot be opened except when the door has first been opened. This prevents the panel being opened by passengers while the vehicle is in motion.
  • figure 1 shows the inside of the door with the ramps stowed but the panel open
  • Figure 2 shows the ramps in a position ready for use
  • Figure 3 shows a single ramp partly folded.
  • the ramps shown at 1, are of extruded aluminium alloy channel section, lined with patterned rubber treads 2 and hinged in the middle of their lengths. They fold to fit in a compartment 3 in the inside lower face of a taxi door 4 and are held in place by a strap 5.
  • Each ramp has a pair of studs 8 in its underside at one end and these engage in sockets 9 at appropriate spacings in the sill 10 of the door opening to locate the ramps securely in use. As indicated in Figure 3, the studs 8 may also engage sockets in the other end of the ramp itself in the folded condition, helping to keep it folded.
