Summary:To provide a wheelchair capable of reliably stopping movements of the wheelchair when a user of the wheelchair gets on/down a vehicle and allowing getting on/down in a stable state.SOLUTION: The wheelchair includes: a seat part; a body frame supporting the seat part; wheels pivotally supported by the body frame; an engaging part 22; a left side brake 20 braking a left rear wheel; and a connection part 23 connecting the engaging part 22 and the left side brake 20. The engaging part 22 can switch an engaging posture engaging a chassis member forming an opening of the vehicle; and a release posture disengaging the chassis member. The connection part 23 transmits movements of the engaging part 22 to the left side brake 20 when the engaging part 22 is switched to the engaging posture from the release posture. Thus, the left side brake 20 acts to brake the left rear wheel when the engaging part 22 is switched from the release posture to the engaging posture.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】車両に対する車椅子利用者の乗降の際に確実に車椅子の動きを止めることができ、安定した状態での乗降を可能とする車椅子を提供する。【解決手段】車椅子は、着座部と、着座部を支持するボディフレームと、ボディフレームに回転自在に軸支された車輪と、係合部22と、左後車輪を制動する左側ブレーキ20と、係合部22と左側ブレーキ20とを連結する連結部23と、を備える。係合部22は、車両の開口部を形成する車体部材に対して係合する係合姿勢と、車体部材に対する係合を解除する解除姿勢と、を切り替え可能である。連結部23は、係合部22が解除姿勢から係合姿勢に切り替えられた場合に、係合部22の動きを左側ブレーキ20に伝達する。これより、係合部22が解除姿勢から係合姿勢に切り替えられた場合に左側ブレーキ20が作動して、左後車輪が制動される。【選択図】図4
