Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, hospital staff injuries are very common during this lifting attempt due to the weight of the patient and the lack of control in actually lifting and moving the patient, which can lead to muscle strains and other related injuries

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Patient lifting device 5 includes a bottom support portion 7 that is generally "U" shaped and has parallel spaced apart legs 8 and 9 separated by a transverse member 10 . Connected to said transverse element 10 approximately midway along its length is a main vertical support element 12 , which is correspondingly connected to an upper portion 14 .

[0024] The upper portion 14 includes a transverse upper member 16 having a first arm 18 and a second arm 19 each having a front portion 20 and a rear portion 22 .

[0025] Each arm 18 and 19 has a pulley therein, for example said first arm 18 has a front pulley 24 and a rear pulley 26 and the second arm 19 has a front pulley 28 and a rear pulley 30, thereby effectively being a front pulley here 32 pairs and 34 pairs of rear pulleys. Each pulley is capable of rotating about its axis, but other pulley equivalents could be employed to produce the same result, as will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.

Abstract

A patient lifting apparatus that includes a front and rear independently controlled cable lowering means so that a patient sitting in a sling suspended from the cables can be assisted out of the sling, or into the sling depending on the situation. This provides great, and safer, control of patient movement that otherwise provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field of the invention relates to devices or devices for lifting, in particular for lifting of human patients. Background technique [0002] In hospitals and patient care facilities, there is often a need for equipment designed to lift patients from one position to another, as is often the case when incapacitated patients need to be lifted from their bed in a lying flat position up into a chair superior. [0003] Usually this requires two or sometimes three attendants or specially trained hospital staff to effectively and safely lift the patient. Each staff member has a specific position relative to the patient and requires each staff member to coordinate his lifting power with that of the other staff members for successful lifting and transfer. [0004] However, hospital staff injuries are very common during this lifting attempt due to the weight of the patient and the lack of control in actually lifting and moving the patient, which c...
