    摘要: A system for loading a patient transport apparatus into a vehicle is described. The system includes a loading and unloading system including a track and a trolley supporting a receiver movable between locked and unlocked configurations. The system also includes a patient transport apparatus for attachment to the loading and unloading system including a base, a litter, and a lift mechanism to facilitate arranging the litter at different heights relative to the base with an actuator movable between fully-retracted and fully-extended configurations, a coupler for engaging the receiver to secure the patient transport apparatus, first and second sensors configured to output a first signal and second signal and a controller to determine a target lift configuration during unloading from the emergency based on first and second values and to drive the actuator to the target lift configuration to limit relative movement between the patient transport apparatus and the trolley.

    摘要: An electric van including a van assembly, a power assembly, a lifting assembly, and an interior assembly. Said van assembly includes a van having a van interior. The power assembly includes an electric power train that generates the power needed to move said van. The lift assembly includes a wheelchair lift that is attached to the chassis of the van in order to prevent the entrance of the van to be blocked in case of an accident. The interior assembly is enclosed by said van interior. The interior assembly includes a divider, foldable seats, a bar, locking mechanisms, captain chairs having foldable desks, and a sofa. The interior assembly defines a luxury interior to provide comfort to users. The locking mechanisms permits to secure wheelchairs that enter there by means of the wheelchair lift.

    摘要: A pantograph-type lifting system comprises a base; a platform connected to the base by a pair of levers each comprising a first lever and a second lever mutually hinged in a fulcrum, the first lever having a lower end hinged to the base, and an upper end sliding connected to the platform, the second lever having a lower end sliding connected to the base, and an upper end hinged to the platform in a fixed spot; a chain-type actuating system of the levers comprising one chain meshed with a first toothed pulley and with a second toothed pulley rotatable connected to the respective levers, the chain-type actuating system being configured to transfer the motion from motor means to the levers through the toothed pulleys in order to approach or move away the ends of the levers with a scissors-like movement to lift or lower the platform.

    摘要: A low speed vehicle is capable of transporting a mobility scooter on a platform that is attached to the vehicle and capable of pivoting between use and stowed positions. The platform can be secured in the stowed position. The platform can be raised and lowered with an actuator having a limit switch interlocked with the vehicle's propulsion system to prevent vehicle movement unless the platform is raised. The actuator is affixed to the vehicle's frame in at least two places, with an aft attachment adjacent the rear bumper and a fore attachment adjacent the rear axle. The platform also includes brake lights that illuminate orthogonally with at least one brake light facing rearward in the use or stowed position of the platform.

    摘要: A vehicular illumination mechanism is mountable on a vehicle having a loading and unloading mechanism for moving a wheelchair between the vehicle and a road surface. The loading and unloading mechanism has an upper face portion and is movable between a stored position and an extended position. The vehicular illumination mechanism includes a position detection portion that is configured to detect a position of the loading and unloading mechanism, an illuminating lamp that is configured to illuminate the upper face portion of the loading and unloading mechanism extended to the extended position, and an illumination control portion that is configured to light the illuminating lamp when the position detection portion detects that the loading and unloading mechanism is in the extended position.
