Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger car with a moving seat, which is used by persons who have difficulty in getting on and off a passenger car, a taxi, and the like, such as a disabled person, elderly people with weak legs, and wheelchair users.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A disabled person or a weak elderly person or a wheelchair user who gets on and off a generally used passenger car or taxi or the like, or a wheelchair user, puts his feet in the car and puts his strength on his waist and gets in.
The difficulty of sitting on a seat is a difficult act for a person with a disability or the like, and there is no easy way to solve it.

[0003] Recently, some taxi companies have attached a rotating turn so that a disabled person or the like can easily get on and off. The rotating turn is rotated out of the vehicle, and after being seated, the rotating turn is reversely rotated in the vehicle to be seated. There is a car (taxi) that has a mechanism for getting on and off the seat. In addition, there are large-sized automobiles such as cabs that can be used while riding in a wheelchair, but most of them are difficult tasks to get on and off with the help of caregivers.

[0004]

When a passenger car, a taxi, or the like is boarded, the step into the vehicle from outside is about 20 cm.
Rank. The steps of ordinary houses are almost the same, but you can use a handrail or the like to get over these steps, but most of them are difficult operations.
Similarly, the step of 20 cm without a handrail in a narrow door in order to enter the inside of the vehicle from outside the vehicle is also extremely difficult for people with physical disabilities.

[0005] The present invention simplifies the difficult getting on and off of such a car for a disabled person or an elderly person with weak legs.
This makes it easy to get on and off.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A rear seat of a passenger car is separated, one of the seats is fixed, and the other one of the seats on the side of the entrance is separable from the fixed one of the seats. Tracks were installed on both the left and right sides so that one side on the entrance side could easily protrude out of the vehicle.

A rectangular pipe is fixed to the entire left and right portion of the center of the fixed seat at the lower part of the rear seat, and a pipe connected to the separable lower leg of the seat can be inserted into the rectangular pipe. It was configured to move.

[0008] At the end of the seat protruding outside the vehicle, a leg with casters that can move up and down is provided so as to land on the ground and easily move outside the vehicle.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the situation where the opening of the boarding door is a tight space of about 80 degrees and the step into the car is about 20 cm, when a disabled person, a weak elderly person or a wheelchair user gets into the car. The trouble of the above can be eased by the structure in which the seat can be seated outside the vehicle by the protruding seat structure, and the help of the caregiver can be greatly reduced. In addition, the seat width allows the seat to easily pass from the inside of the car to the opening of the car door, and the movement of the seat from the inside of the car to the outside of the car can be easily made manually, and it can be electrically moved as necessary did.

[0010] Further, there is no need to step over a step for entering the vehicle, and it is possible to get on and off while sitting down.
You can clear the steps at the entrance.
