The present invention is a patient transfer apparatus capable of easily transferring a patient while causing minimal inconvenience to the patient when transferring the patient between a patient bed and a patient-moving bed, or between the patient-moving bed and various inspection apparatuses. The patient transfer apparatus of the present invention comprises: a transfer arm for moving a top movable board on which the body of the patient is supported; a transfer arm housing fixed on a patient-moving bed frame so as to move the transfer arm; and a side protector laid on a patient bed so as to serve as a guide rail for enabling the transfer arm to easily move over the patient bed. The patient transfer apparatus of the present invention enables the patient to simply lie on his / her side from a recumbent position such that the patient can be loaded or unloaded onto / from the patient-moving bed, thus minimizing inconveniences to the patient and easily moving the patient with fewer staff members. Further, the patient transfer apparatus of the present invention eliminates the necessity of separate external power and eliminates the necessity of installation and withdrawal of a separate auxiliary device to thus enable easy operation, and the apparatus of the present invention has a simple configuration and thus can be provided in an inexpensive manner.

The invention allows a rider to operate a bicycle in a recumbent position, and steer the bicycle using a direct underseat steering system. The recumbent position, compared to the typical upright riding position, greatly reduces air resistance and required effort. The direct underseat steering system is mechanically simple, which makes is less costly to manufacture, and the direct steering system is also less likely than linkage-based systems to be damaged in a crash. The frame geometry allows the manufacturer to use inexpensive materials and techniques, while still providing the rider adequate stiffness and durability.

A baby activity center comprising a foldable mat and a pair of bendable wings connected to the foldable mat. Each bendable wing has an opening. An arch is further coupled to the foldable mat and is positionable in an upright position and a recumbent position. While in the upright position, the arch is engaged with the openings in the pair of bendable wings. While in the recumbent position, the arch is disengaged from the openings in the pair of bendable wings. The baby activity center transforms to a gym configuration where the foldable mat is expanded and the arch is positioned in the upright position across the foldable mat. The baby activity center further transforms to a transport configuration where the foldable mat is folded and the arch is positioned in the recumbent position between the folded mat.
