Title of the invention: -1-
[0001] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Title of the invention: Device for lifting a client lying in a bed, to the head of the bed.
[0003] The invention relates to a device for lifting a client lying in a bed, to the head of the bed. This will allow them to be better installed.
[0004] Clients lie in bed, sometimes for hours.
[0005] During the day, the client moves and slides.
[0006] Caregivers must therefore install it. For example, for comfort, to prevent possible skin problems and for installation at mealtimes. This action is therefore repeated daily.
[0007] Traditionally, it takes two caregivers to lift a client lying in bed to the head of the bed. The caregivers stand on either side of the bed and position themselves. They grasp the bottom sheet with one hand near the client's head and one hand near the pelvis. Then, they lift the client by pulling the sheet and pull them up.
[0008] This mobilization causes potential health problems for caregivers.
[0009] In addition, the device will allow only one caregiver to be mobilized.
[0010] The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this mobilization.

[0012] The attached drawings illustrate the invention:
[0013] [FIG. 1] shows in section, the device of the invention.
[0014] With reference to these drawings, the device in fact comprises, according to a first characteristic, an electrical (1) and remote-controlled (2) box. This box has an orifice (3) through which passes a large rectangular strap (4) which winds and unwinds around a bar (5), thanks to a three-phase alternating current motor (6). The strap allows the sheet to be pulled by hanging it using four clamps (7).
[0015] [FIG. 2] shows in section, the use of the invention.
[0016] The invention can be fixed opposite, either directly to the wall or to the head of the frame. bed (8).
[0017] The caregiver must first fold the top of the sheet (9) inwards, to allow the clips to be attached as close as possible to the client's head. Then, he will unroll the strap to attach the sheet (10) to the clips. The pulling force exerted by the strap will therefore be optimal.
[0018] The strap will wrap around to lift the client to the head of the bed.

1. Device for lifting a client lying in a bed to the head of the bed. The housing is characterized by the fact that it comprises a three-phase alternating current motor which winds and unwinds a strap around a bar. A rectangular and flat hole accommodates this strap. It allows communication with the outside. The strap clips attached to the client's sheet allow it to be lifted to the head of the bed. These same clips will be four in number and will distribute the force of the strap and the weight of the client.
