  • Patent number: 6776564
    Abstract: A wheelchair restraint has four primary components: a base assembly, two pivot members or arms, hinges and belt assemblies. The base assembly is used to mount the restraint to a vehicle. The arms are connected to the base assembly and each retain a belt assembly via a respective hinge. The arms pivot from a horizontal operating position about a horizontal axes to a vertical storage position. The vehicle restraint allows an operator to quickly and easily secure or release a passenger in a wheelchair, while maintaining the integrity of the straps/belts and prolonging strap/belt life by storing the straps/belts out of the range of the elements that would otherwise deteriorate them. In the storage position, the area can be used by other passengers not requiring securement and remain out of the way during wheelchair ingress and egress.

The base assembly is used to mount the restraint to a vehicle. The arms are connected to the base assembly and each retain a belt assembly via a respective hinge. The arms pivot independently from a horizontal operating position about a horizontal axes to a vertical storage position. The vehicle restraint allows an operator to quickly and easily secure or release a passenger in a wheelchair, while maintaining the integrity of the straps/belts and prolonging strap/belt life by storing the straps/belts out of the range of the elements that would otherwise deteriorate them.

  • Patent number: 5217181
    Abstract: A sliding support of the type which mounts to and traverses along a vertical support structure. The sliding support is comprised of a track, a sliding structure which is vertically supported and a non-lubricating bearing material. The track defines an interior channel which is co-extensive to the distance traversed by the sliding support and an aperture, opposite the support structure, and in communication with the internal channel. The sliding structure has a slide means located in the channel and overlying the aperture. A horizontal support means is secured to the slide means and extends through the aperture. A vertical support means is secured to the horizontal support means and maintains the horizontal support means in a horizontal plane. The non-lubricated bearing material is positioned in the channel between the channel and the slide means.
