DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a view showing a use state of a transfer tool according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which each part of the transfer tool is separated.

In the figure, reference numerals 1 and 2 denote a first support plate and a second support plate each having a rectangular shape, and 3 denotes an intermediate support plate in which these two support plates 1 and 2 are detachably coupled. .

The first support plate 1 has one corner cut off, a flat insertion hole 1a is formed in the thickness of the cut, and a straight guide track 4a having an open cross section on the upper surface. Are provided on a diagonal line, and rotation supports 5 are arranged in rows near both sides of the track 4a.

At this time, the guide track 4a has only to reach almost the central portion of the support plate 1, and the rotary support 5 holds the ball 5a and the ball 5a so as to be rotatable in any direction. It consists of body 5b.

The second support plate 2 is provided with a flat insertion hole 2a within the thickness of the central portion of one side of the outer periphery, and the guide track 4 is provided.
A guide track 4b having the same cross-sectional shape as a is provided straight from one end on the symmetry center line x1 to a substantially central position, and then it is bent by about 90 degrees in a specific direction to form a relatively short bent portion 4.
It is extended so that b'is formed, and the rotation supporting tools 5 similar to those described above are arranged in rows near both sides of the guide track 4b.

The intermediate support plate 3 is provided with flat plate-shaped protrusions 3a and 3b on two opposite sides of the main body, and a guide track 4c having the same sectional shape as the above-mentioned guide track 4a is provided at an appropriate position on the upper surface. The rotation supporting tools 5 similar to those described above are arranged in rows near both sides of the above.

The reference numeral 6 designates a seat plate member having an upper surface without a cushion material, and an engaging member 7 projecting downward is fixed to the bottom surface 6a. At the tip of this engaging member 7, guide tracks 4a, 4
An enlarged portion 7a is formed inward of b and 4c and is inserted in a state where the escape is restricted.

The support plates 1, 2, 3 are made as light as possible, and are made of, for example, a light alloy to form the through holes.

Explaining an example of use of the above-mentioned product of the present invention,
The first support plate 1 is placed on the seating surface of the wheelchair so that the center line x of symmetry of the first support plate 1 faces the front-rear direction, and the guide track 4a thereof is also installed.
The enlarging portion 7a of the engaging member 7 is previously fitted and inserted into the seat member 6
Are attached to the support plate 1.

The person with a walking disability sits on the seat plate tool 6 in this state, and the seat board tool 6 may try to move along the guide track 4a. Since the track 4a intersects with the symmetry center line x of the support plate 1, it immediately interferes with the side armrest a, and the hindering movement is prevented.

When transferring from a wheelchair to a car, after the caretaker opens the door, the wheelchair is moved to a chair b in the car.
And a side armrest a on one side is opened. On the other hand, the second support plate 2 is placed on the seating surface of the chair b in the automobile. At this time, the outer end of the guide track 4b is located on the wheelchair side as shown in FIG. 4b 'is set so as to be bent toward the rear side of the automobile.

Subsequently, the flat plate-shaped protruding portion 3b is fitted into the insertion holes 1a and 2a of the first and second support plates 1 and 2, and the protruding portions 1a and 2a are prevented from coming out. Fit a restriction tool such as. As a result, the guide tracks 4a, 4b, 4c are connected in a straight line.

After that, the seating board 6 on which the walking disabled person rides is moved toward the inside of the vehicle while the traveling direction is restricted by the guide tracks 4a, 4b, 4c and the bottom surface 6a is supported horizontally by the ball 5a. During this movement, the enlarged portion 7a of the engaging member 7 is rotatably held around the vertical axis within the guide tracks 4a, 4b, 4c, so that the seating tool 6 is required by the caregiver. The direction is changed and the vehicle is directed straight ahead in the car. Then, at the final position of the seat plate tool 6, the enlarged portion 7a of the engaging member 7 is located at the end of the bent portion 4b ', and the lateral movement is completely restricted in the normal sitting posture. For this reason, the seating tool 6 is locked in a fixed position even if an external force in the lateral direction is applied when the course of the automobile is changed. Further, when the vehicle suddenly stops, the vehicle is moved in the front-rear direction by the length of the curved portion 4b 'and further movement is prevented.

After the transfer is completed, the above-mentioned restricting tool such as a pin is removed, and the flat plate-shaped projection 3 is inserted from the insertion holes 1a, 2a.
a and 3b are pulled out, whereby the intermediate support plate 3
Is separated from the first and second support plates 1 and 2. Then, if necessary, the first support plate 1, the intermediate support plate 3, the wheelchair, and the like are mounted on the vehicle and transported to the destination.

On the contrary to the above, when transferring from the automobile to the wheelchair, the above procedure is reversed.

[0024]

According to the present invention constructed as described above, when transferring between a wheelchair and an automobile, the caregiver only has to support the walking-disabled person from falling down from the seating tool, and the labor thereof is remarkably reduced. It is what is done.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the seating board is prevented from inadvertently coming out of the front of the wheelchair due to the relationship with the guide track, and the seating board is enlarged in the front-rear, left-right direction in the car carelessly. It will be prevented from moving, and the ball will be able to smoothly advance the seating plate along the guide track, and during this movement, the seating plate can be smoothly rotationally displaced about the vertical axis. .
