Vehicle support for wheeled vehicles

In a wheelchair support for attachment to an automobile bumper or other surface for supporting a folded wheelchair of the type including large rear wheels and a bottom frame having a backward projecting portion:

• a. a wheelchair carrying frame comprising opposed side frame members defining a space receiving therein the large, vertically disposed wheels of said folded wheelchair with the periphery of the wheels partly below said carrying frame resting in the space defined by and on the opposed side frame members and with the projecting portion of the wheelchair bottom frame within the confines of said carrying frame,
• b. means on said carrying frame for attaching and supporting said carrying frame on the bumper or the surface in horizontally extended carrying position,
• c. a retainer support member on said carrying frame and a retainer member on said retainer support member, said retainer member being engaged from beneath by the wheelchair bottom frame when said wheels are in said space and the projecting portion of the wheelchair frame is projected and rotated within said space thereby preventing the movement of the lower frame in vertical or rotational direction about the engagement of the rear wheels with the side members which define the space, whereby a person without the use of his legs may insert the wheelchair in place on the carrying frame and lock the wheelchair wheel to prevent relative rotation between wheelchair frame and wheel.
