Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2548125A] There is disclosed a system 16 for drawing a wheeled passenger support 17 into a vehicle (10, figure 1), selectively restraining the passenger support against movement, and for controlling movement of the passenger support during unloading from the vehicle. The wheeled passenger support may particularly take the form of a wheelchair. The system comprises a winch 18 comprising a reel 20 and a flexible elongate winch element 22 wound on to the reel, in which the winch is adapted to be located within an interior of the vehicle. A drawing member 24 is coupled to the flexible elongate winch element so that, on activation of the winch, the drawing member is pulled towards the winch; at least two restraints 26a, 26b are coupled to the drawing member and adapted for coupling to the passenger support so that on activation of the winch, the passenger support is pulled towards the winch and so drawn into the vehicle. A locking assembly (28, figure 5) is operable to restrain the drawing member, and the wheeled passenger support coupled to the drawing member, against movement in a direction away from the winch.
