ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for securing a wheelchair and its occupant to the interior of a vehicle is disclosed, in which a pair of elongated flexible tensioning straps are secured at one end to the floor of the vehicle behind the wheelchair, a hood member carried by the intermediate portion of each is placed over the upper peripheries of each of the large wheels of the wheelchair and the opposite end portion slidably extends through a keeper secured to the floor ahead of the wheelchair and thence upwardly where its terminal portion is secured to the wheelchair frame. A section of a restraining belt is carried by intermediate portions of each of the tensioning straps, the sections connecting transversely between the straps to cooperatively restrain the occupant in the wheelchair.
