ABSTRACT:
A bus loader for a wheel chair and for the infirm embodies a platform which is mounted within the entrance area at the front of the bus. A minimum change in the standard bus is achieved by removing the bottom and intermediate steps at the front entrance and mounting the loading mechanism within the resulting recess. The loading mechanism is so constructed that the doors will swing in at each side of the opening in a manner in which they are normally operated. The platform is moved to the ground or curbstone, the wheel chair is moved thereon and retained in position and the platform, wheel chair and occupant is raised and the platform advanced toward the bus driver and lowered upon the floor permitting the wheel chair occupant to drop a fare in the fare box. A rail is provided on the forward and inner sides of the platform so that the physically handicapped and the infirm may stand upon the platform and be raised into the bus thereby reducing the time required for loading the bus.
