FLAP OPENING/CLOSING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flap opening/closing device capable of opening/closing a flap even in the state of seating on a wheelchair. SOLUTION: A flap opening/closing device 1 is provided on a ramp 17 for rotationally moving a flap 21. A slope 43 extended to the flap 21 is formed at the rear end of a handrail 42 erected on the ramp 17 and an operation lever 46 is axially supported on the slope 43 via a supporting bracket 44. An unlocking link 61 for unlocking the flap 21 locked by a locking mechanism 22 is pivotally supported on the operation lever 46 and a moving link 71 is axially supported on the supporting bracket 44 for the operation lever 46 to allow the movement of the moving link 71 along the slope 43 with the tilting operation of the operation lever 46. The flap 21 is connected to the moving link 71 via a wire 73 and the length of the wire 73 is set to permit the flap 21 to stand up where it is locked by the locking mechanism 22.
