<p>A wheelchair restraint has a flat base (1) anchorable to or forming part of a floor. An abutment (9) can be hinged up from the base, to incline upwardly and forwardly, perharps supported by a strut (15) or limited by a flexible tie. At the rear, anchorage points (4) have adjustable belts (5) which can be formed into loops and fastened back near those points. With a wheelchair straddling the base, the abutment (9) is raised to engage the rear of the wheelchair frame, well above main axle level, while the belts (5) are pulled tight around lower parts of the frame. Final full tensioning can be applied by shifting the abutment (9) marginally forwards.</p> |
