ABSTRACT:
A clamping apparatus for releasably securing a wheelchair to a base, such as the floor of a motor vehicle, is provided. The clamping apparatus includes a frame which is capable of being rigidly secured to the base and a movable clamp which is pivotally attached to the frame and capable of being moved between a wheelchair clamping position and a wheelchair release position. When in the clamping position, the clamp is capable of secure engagement with the wheelchair to prevent relative movement between the wheelchair and the base. When in the release position, the clamp disengages from the wheelchair, thereby permitting relative movement between the wheelchair and the base. Power driven actuating means for moving the clamp between the clamping and release positions is provided.
