DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle having a slope plate suspended between a floor of a vehicle and a passage outside the vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a vehicle such as a local bus in the city, the floor inside the vehicle is set at a position higher than a passage outside the vehicle. Therefore, one or more steps are provided at the entrance of such a vehicle. By using this step, the passenger or the like gets on or off the vehicle, so that the safety of the passenger or the like when getting on or off can be ensured. However, when the vehicle is a shuttle bus to various facilities such as facilities for the physically handicapped and nursing homes, some passengers use so-called wheelchairs, in which steps cannot be used effectively. Such a wheelchair user needs to have an attendant get on and off the bus, and there is a problem that a wheelchair user cannot use the bus without an attendant.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, there is conventionally known a vehicle having a slope plate which is bridged between a floor of the vehicle and a passage outside the vehicle. In a vehicle having the slope plate, a slope plate housing is usually fixed to the lower surface of the floor near the entrance, and the slope plate is stored in the housing so as to protrude to the side of the vehicle. In this way, the slope plate stored in the housing is protruded to the side of the vehicle as necessary, so that the slope plate is bridged between the floor of the vehicle and a passage outside the vehicle. The wheelchair user can use the slope board hung in this way,
Alternatively, getting on and off the bus is easy with the assistance of an attendant.

[0004]

However, since the slope plate is stored in the housing in such a manner that it can protrude, when the vehicle is run with the slope plate stored, the slope plate is vibrated due to the running of the vehicle and the like. However, there still remains a problem to be solved in which rattling occurs in the housing and noise is generated. In order to solve this problem, it is conceivable to fix the slope plate in the housed state to the housing by screw means or the like, but such a work is complicated and is not actually used. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with a slope plate that can easily prevent rattling of a slope plate in a stored state.
