To enhance usability of a wheelchair loading/unloading device by eliminating necessity for an operation of a free switch to cancel a lock state of a belt feeding lock mechanism and also a free-completion operation to lock the lock mechanism.SOLUTION: A wheelchair loading/unloading device 20 for a vehicle 10 includes: a slope 21 for a wheelchair to be disposed between a door opening part 12 of a cabin R and a road surface; a belt 23 whose distal end part can be connected to a wheelchair K; a drum for winding or feeding the belt 23 inside the cabin; energization means for energizing the drum in a belt winding direction; and a belt feeding lock mechanism for restricting the rotation of the drum in the belt feeding direction. When a door of the door opening part 12 is opened during parking in a state where the wheelchair K is not fixed inside the cabin, the lock state of the belt feeding lock mechanism is cancelled.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】ベルト繰り出しロック機構のロック状態を解除するフリースイッチの操作、及びロック機構をロック状態にするフリー終了操作を不要にして、車椅子用乗降装置の使い勝手を向上させる。【解決手段】車室Ｒのドア開口部１２と路面間に掛け渡される車椅子用のスロープ２１と、先端部が車椅子Ｋに連結可能なベルト２３と、車室内でベルト２３を巻き取り、あるいは繰り出し可能なドラムと、ドラムをベルト巻き取り方向に付勢する付勢手段と、ドラムのベルト繰り出し方向の回転を規制するベルト繰り出しロック機構とを備える車両１０の車椅子用乗降装置２０であって、車椅子Ｋが車室内に固定されていない状態で、駐車中にドア開口部１２のドアが開放されると、ベルト繰り出しロック機構のロック状態が解除される。【選択図】図２
