[Object] Quietness is to be more effectively improved, without compromising stability in power transmission. [Solution] An annular internal gear memberis formed of a noise suppressing material having lower strength than a metal. A deformation restricting portionof an annular flange shape is formed along an outer circumferential edge of a carrier. Accordingly, when a planetary gear mechanism is operating the internal gear memberis partially deformed so as to protrude radially outward of the annular shape. At this point, the protruding deformed portion of the internal gear memberabuts against an inner circumferential surface of the deformation restricting portion. Therefore, deformation of the internal gear memberis effectively restricted.

A wheelchair-fixing device, a wheelchair-loadable vehicle, and a wheelchair system capable of ensuring the safety by securely fixing a wheelchair even against a collision of an automobile when the wheelchair is put in the automobile and also ensuring the easy operation for mounting the wheelchair to the automobile. A wheelchair-fixing device for fixing a wheelchair to a vehicle comprises a front holding member for holding a front portion of the wheelchair from the front side, and a derrick-type locking mechanism which holds a rear portion of the wheelchair with a rear holding member from the rear side by the raising operation thereof from a floor member. The front holding member holds the wheelchair at a position close to the feet of the occupant and the rear holding member holds the wheelchair at a position below the seat.
