ABSTRACT:
A loader mechanism particularly suited for loading and unloading wheelchairs from a carrier mounted on top of a vehicle has a base frame member mounted on hinges along one edge of the vehicle top. The base frame member is raised and pivoted upwardly on the hinges beyond vertical when it is desired to load objects into or unload objects from the loader mechanism. In this latter position, additional mechanism is used to open a cover of the loader mechanism in a clam shell manner along second hinges attaching the cover to the base frame member along the edge of the base frame member opposite the edge which is hingedly attached to the vehicle top. When the cover is open and the base frame member is in its generally vertical position, an object such as a wheelchair is raised into and lowered from the loader mechanism by a cable which is wound into and unwound from the loader mechanism.
