ABSTRACT:
A flush-mounted securing device, preferably secured in a floor of a vehicle, to restrain a handicapped person in a wheelchair or scooter in a passenger vehicle. The securing device comprises a base plate, a top plate rotationally mounted relative to the base plate and including a series of belt or strap receptacles to fasten the transportable equipment, a low-profile shaft that axially supports the top plate for rotational movement against lateral forces between the top plane and base plate, a set of circumferentially disposed bearings (or slip rings) between the top plate and the base plate, and a retaining cap that secures the top plate to the base plate. Optionally, the device may include a locking/ratcheting mechanism to fixedly position the top plate at discrete rotational positions to assist passenger ingress/egress.
