Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9615751A1] A wheel chair (1) is secured in a vehicle, like a minibus, the wheel chair being provided with fittings (3) with engaging means, which can engage and be fixed by jaws in two sets of jaws on a device (4) mounted on the base (2) of the bus. The engaging means on the fittings (3) and the openings between the jaws are designed with cross sections, which generally do not vary in the direction of travel (11) of the wheel chair. Thus the engaging means on the fittings (3) can be engaged in the sets of jaws by advancing the wheel chair in the directon of travel (11). The set of jaws are mutually spaced crosswise to the direction of travel (11), and the fittings (3) are designed to being fastened mutually spaced apart in pairs on the wheel chair (1) near the areas where the wheels (8), which carry the greatest weight load of the wheel chair (1), are mounted to the chair (1). Thus a strong and safe securing of the chair to the base (2) of the bus is obtained, the fittings (3) and the device (4) also being suitable for use with a collapsible wheel chair.
