Description

  The present invention relates to a storage device for a slope for getting on and off a wheelchair of a vehicle that is bridged between the entrance and exit on the side of the vehicle on which a sliding door is opened and closed.

  In Patent Document 1, a front plate and a rear plate are connected to each other in a foldable manner, and when getting on and off, the front plate and the rear plate are extended to form a slope between the entrance and exit of the rear of the vehicle and the ground. Later, a slope device is disclosed in which the front plate and the rear plate are folded in half and stored in the rear part of the vehicle.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-24645

  In the above slope device, when getting on and off from the entrance / exit on the side of the vehicle where the sliding door opens and closes, the slope plate is taken out from the rear part of the folded and stored vehicle and extended between the side entrance and exit and the ground After use, the slope plate had to be folded again, carried to the rear of the vehicle and stored, putting a burden on the caregiver.

  In addition, the storage state of the slope plate at the rear of the vehicle is not always fixed, and if it is hung on the rear of the vehicle, it will slip and fall over while traveling, so it will be dangerous to lie down and use the rear space of the vehicle effectively In addition, such storage has problems such as dirt on the slope plate adhering to the interior of the vehicle and other stored items.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a slope storage device for getting on and off a wheelchair of a vehicle, in which a storage dedicated to a slope plate is provided in the vicinity of the entrance on the side of the vehicle where the sliding door opens and closes.

In view of the above problems, the slope storage device for a wheelchair of a vehicle according to the present invention extends between the entrance / exit on the side of the vehicle where the sliding door opens and closes during use and the ground, and is folded in two when not in use. A sloping plate that is stowed and stowed up and down is provided so as to be slidable in and out of the side wall of the vehicle body through an opening provided in an end surface of the vehicle body side wall behind the entrance in the width direction.
Further, a rolling roller for guiding the slope plate may be provided below or above and below the side wall of the vehicle body.

In short, the present invention provides a flexible slope plate that is stretched in a straight line between the entrance / exit on the side of the vehicle where the sliding door opens and closes during use and the ground, and is stowed and folded in two when not in use. Since it is slidable in and out of the side wall of the vehicle body through the opening provided on the end surface of the vehicle body side wall behind the entrance in the width direction, when the wheelchair user gets in and out, the vehicle body behind the entrance is opened by opening the slide door. By simply inserting and removing the slope plate in the folded state from the opening exposed at the end surface of the side wall, the slope plate can be easily bent and extended at the entrance and exit, and the slope plate can be bent and extended on the spot. The trouble of carrying the slope plate by reciprocating from the rear part to the side part is saved, and the burden on the assistant can be greatly reduced.
Moreover, since it is not necessary to secure the storage location of the slope plate in the vehicle as in the prior art, the space in the vehicle can be used effectively.
Further, according to the present invention, the slope plate when not in use is concealed in the side wall of the vehicle body, and its opening is also closed by closing the slide door, so that it does not jump out of the side wall of the vehicle body without permission during vehicle travel. It is safe and the slope plate is not contaminated in the vehicle.

  Since the rolling roller that guides the slope plate is provided below or above and below the side wall of the vehicle body, it is possible to smoothly put in and out the slope plate from within the side wall of the vehicle body, and even a powerless person can easily take it in and out, Its practical effect is significant, such as shortening the time required for getting on and off.

It is a simplified perspective view which shows an extended state from the storage state of a slope board. It is a simplified top view which shows the inside of a vehicle. It is AA simplified sectional drawing of FIG.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
The slope storage device for wheelchair entry / exit of a vehicle according to the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as a “slope storage device”) is provided with a slide door D on the vehicle body side wall B whose outer surface is flush with the vehicle body side wall B in the closed state. For a vehicle W such as a one-box car that is movable between a closed position X that fits in and closes the entrance / exit G on the side of the vehicle and a fully open position Y that overlaps the outside of the vehicle body side wall B behind the entrance / exit G Provided.
In addition, the vehicle W in the illustrated example removes the rear left seat adjacent to the entrance / exit G on the vehicle floor F, and serves as a wheelchair entry place.

  This slope storage device is a stretchable slope plate 1 that extends in a straight line between the entrance G and the ground E where the slide door D opens and closes when in use, and is stowed in a folded state when not in use. In the width direction, it is provided so as to be slidable in and out of the vehicle body side wall B from an opening B2 provided on the end surface B1 of the vehicle body side wall B behind the entrance / exit G.

The slope plate 1 is composed of a front plate 2 and a rear plate 3 made of metal and having the same rectangular shape. The front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 are provided with side walls 2a and 3a standing on the left and right sides, The rear plates 3 are back (back) together, and the back surfaces of the corresponding side edges 2b and 3b are connected by hinges (not shown).
In the stowed retracted posture in which the slope plate 1 is bent in two, the connecting portion 4 (same as one side edges 2b and 3b) of the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 is the upper end, and the base end 1a and the front end of the slope plate 1 1b is the lower end.

The hangar 5 of the slope plate 1 provided in the vehicle body side wall B secures a space that can accommodate the slope plate 1 in the stowed storage posture bent in half between the exterior material and the interior material constituting the vehicle body side wall B. A plurality of rolling rollers 6 for guiding the slope plate 1 are provided below or on the upper and lower sides as in the illustrated example.
And the lower end of opening B2 is set so that it may exist on the same plane as the vehicle floor F of the upper step of the vehicle step S provided in the entrance / exit G.

In the slope storage device configured as described above, when the slope plate 1 is in the stored state, the vehicle body side wall B is in a standing posture in which the front plate 2 and the rear plate 3 are bent in half with the connecting portion 4 as the upper end. The connecting part 4 of the slope plate 1 and the base end 1a and the front end 1b are supported in contact with the upper and lower rolling rollers 6, respectively.
Further, in the closed state of the slide door D, the rear end of the slide door D closes the opening B2, so that the slope plate 1 does not jump out of the storage 5 without permission during traveling of the vehicle.

When the wheelchair user gets on and off, the sliding door D is fully opened to expose the opening B2 to the end surface B1 of the vehicle body side wall B, and the left side walls 2a and 3a of the slope plate 1 in the standing posture are opened from the opening B2. Grab and pull out.
At this time, the slope plate 1 is slidably guided by the rolling rollers 6 supporting the slope plate 1 above and below the slope plate 1.

  Since the lower end of the opening B2 is on the same plane as the vehicle floor F, when the slope plate 1 is pulled out from the hangar 5, the base end 1a can be easily arranged on the vehicle floor F on the vehicle step S, Here, the slope plate 1 is extended in a straight line, and the tip 1b is landed on the ground E, so that the slope plate 1 is stretched from the entrance G to the ground E.

  Further, the storage of the slope plate 1 can be performed by bending the slope plate 1 into two in the reverse order and pushing it into the storage 5 through the opening B2.
