Abstract
A wheel chair restraint that includes a bracket that attaches to the wall of a hospital hallway at a desired height. The bracket includes an envelope with a top opening and a vertical slot for receiving a T-shape latch. The latch is tethered to the wheel chair and can be readily connected or disconnected to the bracket. This satisfies the combined safety requirements of keeping a clear pathway through the hallway while also enabling quick disconnect of the latch for emergency evacuation in a catastrophe situation such as a fire.
