Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fitting structure capable of suppressing backlash of a handrail in the handrail fitted to a welfare vehicle to be gripped by an occupant of a wheelchair mounted on the welfare vehicle.SOLUTION: A handrail fitting part 4 is provided to right and left side parts of a vehicle 1 respectively for fitting a pipe-shaped handrail 5 to the vehicle 1. A spacer 8 composed of a base part 81 and a guide part 82 is installed at the handrail fitting part 4. The spacer 8 has flexibility. The outer diameter of the base part 81 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the handrail 5, and the outer diameter on the tip side of the guide part 82 is smaller than the inner diameter of the handrail 5. When the handrail 5 is pushed in from the guide part 82 side of the spacer 8, the base part 81 is bent so that its diameter is elastically reduced, and the handrail 5 is fitted into the spacer 8. The handrail 5 is fitted to the vehicle 1 in a state that its inner periphery and the outer periphery of the base part 81 are in pressure contact with each other.
