<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lifter for an installation type wheelchair having a simple elevating/lowering mechanism capable of elevating an elevating/lowering plate while forwardly sending out the plate. <P>SOLUTION: An elevating/lowering plate 11 of the lifter 1 for the installation type wheelchair is supported by a quadric parallel link mechanism including a front side turning link 12 and a rear side turning link 13, and a turning mechanism 14 for elevating/lowering operation is arranged at the side of the elevating/lowering plate 11. The elevating/lowering plate 11 with a wheelchair 6 mounted thereon is elevated while being sent out forwardly by the quadric parallel link mechanism. At the elevated position 11B, a space between a front edge of the elevating/lowering plate 11 and a highest step face 4 of a stairway can be reduced, and any component installation space need not be secured below the elevating/lowering plate 11. Thus, the elevating/lowering plate 11 can be lowered to substantially the same level position as a ground surface 3, and the loading work of the wheelchair 6 on the elevating/lowering plate 11 and the unloading work of the wheelchair therefrom can be facilitated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
