A fixing structure 40 has an inwardly-facing seat 22, a front side seat 42, and fixing members 44. The inwardly-facing seat 22 is fixed to a floor portion 14 such that passengers PA face in a vehicle transverse direction. The front side seat 42 has a seat cushion 46 on which the passenger PA sits, and a supporting member 52, and is disposed at the floor portion 14 at a vehicle longitudinal direction front side of the inwardly-facing seat 22, and rear wheels 36 can contact the seat cushion 46 in a vehicle longitudinal direction. The supporting member 52 supports the seat cushion 46 such that the seat cushion 46 can rotate toward the inwardly-facing seat 22. The fixing members 44 fix a wheelchair 30 to the floor portion 14 in a state in which the rear wheels 36 are made to contact the front side seat 42.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle comprising:
a fixed seat that is fixed to a floor portion such that seated passengers face in a vehicle transverse direction;
a movable seat having a seat cushion on which a passenger sits, a seatback that supports the passenger from a back surface side, a connecting member that connects the seat cushion and the seatback such that the seatback can rotate with respect to the seat cushion with a vehicle longitudinal direction being a rotational axis direction, and a supporting member that supports the seat cushion such that the seat cushion can rotate with respect to the floor portion with a vehicle transverse direction being a rotational axis direction toward the fixed seat, the movable seat being disposed at the floor portion at at least one of the vehicle longitudinal direction front side or rear side with respect to the fixed seat, and wheels of a wheelchair being able to contact the seat cushion in a vehicle longitudinal direction; and
a fixing member that fixes the wheelchair to the floor portion in a state in which the wheels are made to contact the movable seat.

2. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:
the movable seat is disposed at the vehicle longitudinal direction front side with respect to the fixed seat, and
the wheels are made to contact the movable seat from a vehicle front side.

3. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a cavity portion, and a contacting member, which can be accommodated in the cavity portion and is made to contact the floor portion in a state of being projected out from the cavity portion toward an outer side, are provided at the seat cushion.

4. The vehicle of claim 1 , wherein groove portions, in and from which the wheels can be inserted and withdrawn in the vehicle longitudinal direction, are formed in the seat cushion.

5. A vehicle comprising:
a fixed seat that is fixed to a floor portion such that seated passengers face in a vehicle transverse direction;
a movable seat having a seat cushion on which a passenger sits, and a supporting member that supports the seat cushion such that the seat cushion can rotate toward the fixed seat, the movable seat being disposed at the floor portion at at least one of a vehicle longitudinal direction front side or rear side with respect to the fixed seat, and wheels of a wheelchair being able to contact the seat cushion in a vehicle longitudinal direction; and
a fixing member that fixes the wheelchair to the floor portion in a state in which the wheels are made to contact the movable seat,
wherein a cavity portion, and a contacting member, which can be accommodated in the cavity portion and is made to contact the floor portion in a state of being projected out from the cavity portion toward an outer side, are provided at the seat cushion.

6. The vehicle of claim 5 , wherein:
the movable seat is disposed at the vehicle longitudinal direction front side with respect to the fixed seat, and
the wheels are made to contact the movable seat from a vehicle front side.

7. The vehicle of claim 5 , wherein groove portions, in and from which the wheels can be inserted and withdrawn in the vehicle longitudinal direction, are formed in the seat cushion.

8. A vehicle comprising:
a fixed seat that is fixed to a floor portion such that seated passengers face in a vehicle transverse direction;
a movable seat having a seat cushion on which a passenger sits, and a supporting member that supports the seat cushion such that the seat cushion can rotate toward the fixed seat, the movable seat being disposed at the floor portion at at least one of a vehicle longitudinal direction front side or rear side with respect to the fixed seat, and wheels of a wheelchair being able to contact the seat cushion in a vehicle longitudinal direction; and
a fixing member that fixes the wheelchair to the floor portion in a state in which the wheels are made to contact the movable seat,
wherein groove portions, in and from which the wheels can be inserted and withdrawn in the vehicle longitudinal direction, are formed in the seat cushion.
