Gated rear entry for wheelchair

摘要

A mini-van includes a rear bumper that is divided into three sections. The central section is coupled one of the remaining sections by a four bar hinge that enables the central section to swing like a gate to provide access through the bumper to the rear opening of the minivan. The central section also includes a cover section for enclosing said drop floor and a latch that secures the rear door in a closed position. The four bar hinge allows the central section to move rearwardly from a closed position and then to rotate about said hinge.
