  • Patent number: 4671730
    Abstract: This motor vehicle is of use to a disabled person 43 who moves about on a wheeled chair 44 and comprises a compartment 1 which has an openable panel 8 on one of its sides and includes horizontal slideways 11 which are disposed perpendicular to said opening. A support is slidable in these slideways 11 and, in a withdrawn position of the support, is partly located outside the compartment 1. A panel 22 is vertically movable between branches 13 of the support to which it is connected by a raising device 25, 27. When the branches 13 are in a drawn out position, the panel 22 is lowered down to the ground while remaining horizontal by the raising device 25, 27. A wheeled chair 44 is then easily placed on the panel 42 which is raised, and the support is introduced into the compartment 1 by a driving device provided for this purpose.
