ABSTRACT:
A device mounted on the floor or in the side wall of a vehicle for locking simultaneously both wheels of a wheelchair to prevent the chair from moving other than with the vehicle. The device comprises a horizontal bar located above the floor of the vehicle a distance equal to about the radius of the larger two wheels of a wheelchair and parallel to their axis, which bar has mounted thereon a separate pair of horizontal U-shaped brackets, relatively adjustable along the bar for engaging the tires and rims of the two large wheels of a wheelchair, when the chair is backed into the brackets. A single substantially vertical lever is pivoted between the brackets on the bar and is connected by links to oppositely sliding pins to open simultaneously the open sides of the U-brackets which are normally maintained closed by a spring attached to the lever. These locking or holding pins extend behind the rims and between the spokes of the wheels. The ends of a seatbelt may be attached, one end to each bracket, for also holding the person in the wheelchair as well as further holding the wheelchair to the vehicle.
