Patient transfer apparatus

Abstract

A patient transfer apparatus of the present invention is configured in that a top movable board of a patient transfer bed is easily movable onto a patient bed mattress by using a transfer arm and a wheeled chassis moving on the transfer arm, so as to cause minimum inconveniences to a patient and allow for a transfer with ease when the patient who is not able to move freely is transferred between the patient bed and the patient transfer bed. In addition, a linkage device is installed beneath the top movable board to easily incline the top movable board toward the body of the patient. Therefore, the patient can be taken onto or removed from the patient transfer bed merely by lying on his / her side from the posture of lying on his / her back, thereby minimizing inconvenience to the patient caused by a patient transfer, and enabling the patient transfer to be easily performed with a smaller number of people. Further, the patient transfer apparatus of the present invention eliminates the necessity of external power source for patient transfer, and has the advantages of a simple configuration and reduced cost.

Description

technical field [0001] When transferring a patient with limited mobility between a hospital bed and a patient transfer bed, a device that can easily transfer the patient while causing minimal inconvenience to the patient is required. The present invention relates to a device for transferring patients between a hospital bed and a patient transfer bed or between a patient transfer bed and various inspection equipment when patients are transferred in a hospital. Background technique [0002] There are few patents related to related devices in the Republic of Korea, but many patents related to patient transfer have been applied for or granted in various developed countries such as the United States. Many overseas applications and authorized patents use very complicated devices or operating procedures that are difficult to apply in practice. For example, patents such as US7,000,268, US5,937,456, US4,873,732, US4,274,168 and the like utilize very complicated devices, but the pric...

But requires an additional complicated process of installing or removing the transfer arm

In addition, in order for the transfer arm to move easily on the bed, rollers are installed on the front and bottom of the transfer arm. If the rollers are installed, the distance between the mattress of the bed and the upper moving plate will increase. It becomes very difficult for the hospital bed to lie on the upper moving board
