A wheelchair for transporting a patient comprising a support frame, the support frame having an upper portion located substantially near a first end of the support frame and a lower portion located substantially near a second end of the support frame, at least one seat extension, the seat extension moveably coupled to the support frame between the lower portion and upper portion of the support frame, at least one leg, a first leg coupled to the lower portion of the support frame, at least two wheels mounted on the support frame, an anti-tip bar, the anti-tip bar being substantially horizontally disposed on the lower portion of the support frame and projecting in the lateral direction for stabilizing the wheelchair in the lateral direction, and an extendable beam positioned on the upper portion of the support frame and moveable coupled to the support frame.

A connector structure in an electric mobility device including a mobility body driven by a motor, a seat unit which includes an operation unit to control the motor and which is detachably attached to a seat attachment member of the mobility body, and a seat height adjustment mechanism which adjusts a height position of the seat attachment member to adjust a height position of the seat unit relative to the mobility body. The connector structure connects a signal line provided in the seat unit to a signal line of the mobility body, and includes a first connector attached to the seat unit and connected to the signal line which is connected to the operation unit, and a second connector attached to the seat attachment member and connected to the signal line of the mobility body.

A sub-mobility device charging system for a vehicle is capable of moving while carrying a sub-mobility device in which a passenger sits. The system includes an acquisition unit, a main electric power supply unit and a controller. The acquisition unit acquires a destination or traveling schedule inputted to the sub-mobility device; the main electric power supply unit supplies electric power to the sub-mobility device carried in the vehicle; and the controller controls to supply electric power to the sub-mobility device via the main electric power supply unit. The controller charges the sub-mobility device on a basis of the acquired traveling schedule for the sub-mobility device in the destination, and generates a traveling route to guide the charged sub-mobility device to a stop-off points corresponding to the destination.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a gurney in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a conventional antler and rail-type gurney restraint system is improved by the addition of a center latch restraint that engages with a latch member secured by a support bracket to the underside of the gurney. In one configuration, the latch member enters into engagement with the center latch restraint through lateral movement of the control end of the gurney. In that respect, the EMT may use the same autonomic movements used with the conventional antler and rail-type system to secure the gurney in the vehicle. Optionally, one or more of the gurney occupant restraint belts are directly connected to the support bracket, whereby occupant loads during an accident will bypass the gurney and occupant head excursions can be reduced.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a wheeled mobility device in a vehicle. In one embodiment, at least one restraint includes a hand-releasable connection to the vehicle. In other embodiments, the hand releasable connection is formed by a set of mounting details, where the mounting details include a headed stud received in a slot. In yet other embodiments, the hand releasable connection can be formed by a spring loaded locking pin that engages with a bore. In even further embodiments, the headed stud and spring loaded locking pin are coupled to the restraint, while the slot and bore are coupled to the floor of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body having a floor. The vehicle includes a track supported by the floor. The vehicle includes a first anchor supported by and movable along the track, the first anchor configured to engage with a personal mobility device. The vehicle includes a second anchor supported by and movable along the track, the second anchor configured to engage with the personal mobility device.

A wheelchair accessible autonomous vehicle with improved interoperability between the ingress/egress doors, wheelchair access device, non-ingress/egress doors, and wheelchair securement system. Safety interlocks for those components may be automatically engaged and disengaged by vehicle computing systems during ingress and egress of a wheelchair based on input from one or more perception sensors associated with the vehicle, the ingress/egress doors, the non-ingress/egress doors, the wheelchair access device, the wheelchair securement system, and the wheelchair.

The present disclosure includes litter platform support and positioning systems described generally comprising at least one lift column mounted to an interior floor in an emergency vehicle or structure. The lift column is connected to at least one support assembly, the at least one support assembly adapted to receive and position a litter assembly. In some implementations, the support assembly is connected to the lift column and adapted to independently adjust the litter assembly vertically, laterally, longitudinally, and rotate 360. The litter platform support and positioning system further includes at least one individual motor associated with each lift column which is operatively connected to a drive screw to independently adjust and control the location of each support assembly to individually position a corresponding litter platform assembly.
