<p>A system for restraining a wheelchair in a vehicle comprises a barrier having housings for restraining belts thereon. A remote release assembly is mounted on the barrier remote from the housing and is connected to the housing, as by a cable. The wheelchair is secured by first operating the assembly to release the belt from the housing to allow the vehicle operator to withdraw the belt from the housing and attach it to the wheelchair before the wheelchair is fully in the securing area. Then, as the wheelchair is moved fully into the wheelchair area, the operator again operates the remote assembly to cause the housing to retract the belt into the housing to tension the belt.</p> |
