Abstract: A powered vehicular wheelchair lift with an automatic folding platform assembly for persons who are physically challenged or otherwise have limited mobility. The wheelchair lift is used in conjunction with a vehicle having an opening and a floor. The wheelchair lift includes a mounting assembly mounted to the vehicle floor adjacent to the vehicle opening. A power actuating system includes a pair of hydraulic cylinders mounted on opposite sides of a pair of relative parallelogram linkage structures of the wheelchair lift. The wheelchair lift has a foldable platform assembly which includes two platform plates pivotably connected along their adjacent transverse edges, where the platform assembly moves from a stowed position inside the vehicle to an entry position at the vehicle opening and inversely (i.e., from the entry level position to the stowed position), and moves the platform assembly between the entry level position and a ground level position outside the vehicle and inversely (i.e.

Abstract: A wheel chair storage apparatus stores a wheel chair of a physically handicapped person in a folded state in a storage space arranged on the roof of a car. The apparatus comprises a main body including a storage section for storing the folded wheel chair; a fitting device for fitting the main body to the roof of the car; slider movable back and forth between the main body and a position located above a doorway of the car; a lift device arranged on the lift for lifting the wheel chair from said doorway; a wheel chair folding device interlocked with said lift device for folding the wheel chair being lifted by said lift device; a wheel chair holder for folding said folded wheel chair; and an attitude modifying device for modifying the attitude of the wheel chair so as to make it adapted to storage by rotating the wheel chair holder with said wheel chair.
