At both ends in the width direction of the reinforcing member 38, holes 38c are formed corresponding to the mounting holes 30e of the holder member 30, and bolts 39 are inserted into the holes 38c, the mounting holes 30e, and the holes 15d. By screwing the nut 40, the spacer portion 30c of the holder member 30 is fastened and fixed to the slope portion 15a, and the reinforcing member 38 is fastened and fixed to the spacer portion 30c.

  Next, the case where the wheelchair A is mounted on the wheelchair-mounted vehicle 2 configured as described above will be described. First, after opening the back door 10 and the tailgate 12 and holding the handle 25 and moving the first slope member 15 backward while pulling up, the holding portion 30b of the holder member 30 is attached to the second slope member 16. The first slope member 15 and the second slope member 16 are rotated with respect to each other, and the second slope member 16 is rotated with respect to the tailgate 12, so that the slope device 1 is moved to the floor panel. 3 and the ground G are used. The slope device 1 in this use state is supported on the ground G by the grounding portions 30 f of the holder member 30 on both sides in the width direction.

  Then, the caregiver pushes the wheelchair A on which the user is seated and travels on the slope portion 15 a of the first slope member 15, the slope portion 16 a of the second slope member 16, and the reinforcing plate of the tailgate 12 to enter the wheelchair mounting space T. Mount. The mounted wheelchair A is fixed to the floor panel 3 by a wheelchair fixing device (not shown).

  After the wheelchair A is fixed, the slope device 1 is stored. First, by holding the handle 25 and moving the first slope member 15 upward and forward, both the slope members 15 and 16 are folded and overlapped, and both the slope members 15 and 16 are connected to the tailgate 12. It overlaps on the reinforcing plate. At this time, simply by pressing the first slope member 15 downward, the holding portion 30b of the holder member 30 engages with the vertical plate portion 16b of the second slope member 16 to hold both the slope members 15 and 16 in the retracted state. It becomes possible. In this retracted state, the spacer portion 30c of the holder member 30 is positioned between the slope members 15 and 16, so that the distance between the slope members 15 and 16 is maintained at a predetermined size. , 16 is prevented from rattling.

Is done.

  Therefore, in the slope device 1 according to this embodiment, the holder member 30 is provided in the first slope member 15, the holding portion 30 b of the holder member 30 is engaged with the vertical plate portion 16 b of the second slope member 16, and the spacer Since the portion 30c is positioned between the slope members 15 and 16, the storage state is established. Thus, both the slope members 15 and 16 are not provided with hooks and belts for holding the slope members 15 and 16 in the storage state as in the prior art. The members 15 and 16 can be held without rattling, and the structure of the slope device 1 can be avoided from being complicated, and the operations when both the slope members 15 and 16 are expanded and folded can be performed. It is possible to avoid complications.

  Further, since the holding portion 30b of the holder member 30 is engaged with the reinforcing vertical plate portion 16b of the second slope member 16 when the storage state is set, the second slope member 16 and the holder member 30 are connected to each other. There is no need to provide a separate engaging portion. Thereby, the structure of the 2nd slope member 16 can be simplified and the cost of the slope apparatus 1 can be reduced.

  Further, since the slope device 1 is stowed and stored in the passenger compartment R, the passenger compartment R can be used effectively and a wheelchair mounting space T can be secured widely. Then, only by closing the tailgate 12, it is possible to prevent the contact portions 30g of the holder member 30 from coming into contact with the vehicle body side member 35 and the slope members 15 and 16 from falling down.

  In addition, since the holder member 30 is an integrally molded product made of rubber, an increase in the number of parts can be suppressed, the number of assembling steps of the slope device 1 can be reduced, and the holder member 30 is in the retracted state. Even if the first slope member 15 and the second slope member 16 are in contact with each other, no abnormal noise is generated, and the quietness of the passenger compartment R can be ensured. The holder member 30 may be formed of, for example, a resin material other than rubber.

  On the other hand, when in use, the load of the wheelchair A can be supported by the grounding portion 30 f of the holder member 30. Thereby, even if it does not make rigidity of the 1st slope member 15, the 2nd slope member 16, and the hinge 17 high, the bending of both the slope members 15 and 16 can be suppressed, and the slope apparatus 1 can be reduced in size and weight. Can be planned.

  Further, since the reinforcing member 38 is provided on the first slope member 15 and the holder member 30 is disposed on both sides of the reinforcing member 38 in the width direction and fixed to the reinforcing member 38, the reinforcing member is mounted when the wheelchair A is mounted. It is possible to support both sides in the width direction of 38. Thereby, when mounting the wheelchair A, both the slope members 15 and 16 can be stabilized.

  In addition, since the reinforcing insert member 37 is embedded in the holder member 30, the amount of deformation of the holder member 30 when the load of the wheelchair A is applied can be reduced, and the slope members 15 and 16 are bent. Can be made smaller.

  In addition, although this embodiment demonstrated the case where the wheelchair A was mounted, when carrying out the wheelchair A mounted in the wheelchair mounting space T, it cannot be overemphasized that the slope apparatus 1 of this invention can be used. .

  In this embodiment, the holder member 30 is attached to the first slope member 15, but the holder member 30 may be attached to the second slope member 16. In this case, the holding portion 30b of the holder member 30 is engaged with the vertical plate portion 15b of the first slope member 15 when the storage state is set.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the slope device 1 is attached to the tailgate 12, but it may be attached to the floor panel 3 via a similar connecting mechanism 20.

  As described above, the vehicle slope device according to the present invention can be used, for example, for mounting a wheelchair in an automobile cabin.
