Abstract:
A loading transfer device includes: a carriage adapted for attachment to a lower surface of the rear compartment; a rack to hold the wheelchair or other object; and rotatable linkage means pivotally connecting the rack to the carriage, whereby, as the linkage means is rotated in a substantially continuous forward pivotal motion during a loading cycle, the rack and the wheelchair or other object held thereon are raised from a substantially vertically oriented loading position at the rear of the vehicle in which the rack is adjacent a ground surface rearward of the vehicle to facilitate placement of the wheelchair or other object thereonto, forwardly pivoted through approximately 90°, passing through a point of maximum elevation, and lowered and moving forward simultaneously to a substantially horizontal storage position in which the rack is adjacent and substantially parallel to the carriage in the compartment, the cycle being reversible for unloading; wherein when the rack and the chair or other object are in the storage position, the carriage, the rack and the chair can be transported by the vehicle.

Claim (Index 4):
The loading transfer device according to of  claim 2 , wherein:\n said carriage ends of said first driven link and said second driven link are spaced apart on said carriage at a distance greater than that of said first end and said second end of third driven link; said third end and said forth end of said third driven link are spaced apart at a distance substantially equally to that of said first end and said second end of said fifth driven link; said third end and said fifth end of said supporting link are spaced apart at a distance greater than that of said first end and said second end of said pushing link; wherein when said driving link is pivoted about said carriage end of said driving link from the rear-most position, said carriage end of said pushing link starts to move substantially in an upward direction against the ground without any range of motion other then said upward and said downward directions; and then substantially in a forward direction of the vehicle; substantially in a downward direction to the ground; and substantially in a forward direction of the vehicle, until said carriage end of said pushing link reaches a forwardmost position without any range of motion other than rearward direction of the vehicle.
