Implementations of mobile platforms for assisting a person with a physical disability may include a base coupled to a motor and a deck coupled to a base, wherein the motor is configured to move the deck along the base. The mobile platform may also include a controller coupled with the motor that is configured to direct the motor that moves the deck over the base to a first position to allow a user to sit on a first seating device resting on the deck and to direct the movement of the deck to a second position different from the first position to allow a user to sit on a second seating device resting on the deck, wherein the first seating device and the second seating device are each configured to seat a human.

A stationary type caring lift includes a base plate arranged on a floor part at each of head and foot sides of a bed for a care receiver along each short-side side of the bed, four supports erected on the base plates in the vicinity of four corners of the bed, a pair of guide rails supported above the bed by the four supports and arranged in parallel along both long-side sides of the bed, a longitudinally moving body arranged between the guide rails and capable of being moved in a longitudinal direction of the bed while being guided by the guide rails, a slide rail attached movably, a laterally moving body attached movably in the lateral direction of the bed, and a lifting drive mechanism attached in the laterally moving body for hanging down the care receiver and having a worm reduction gear with a self-lock function.

A tilting mechanism for a chair that has a seat frame, a seat and a chair back. The tilting mechanism has a track path along which the seat tracks between an upright sitting position and a reclined position. The chair back tracks concurrently between a first position when the seat is in the upright sitting position and a second inclined position when the seat is in the reclined position. The inclination of the chair back increases at a greater rate than the inclination of the seat as the seat moves between the upright sitting position and the reclined position.

A combined mobile cart for the sick or wounded, includes a mobile cart and a mobile stretcher. The mobile cart includes a main body frame, a left retractable track mechanism, a right retractable track mechanism, a lifting and translating mechanism, and an automatic movable weight-balancing mechanism. The top of the main body frame is provided with the left and right retractable track mechanisms, a supporting layer is arranged in a middle of the main body frame of the mobile stretcher, and the automatic movable weight-balancing mechanism is arranged at a bottom of the main body frame; and the lifting and translating mechanism is provided with a left case body and a right case body, lifting ropes are arranged under the lifting and translating mechanism, and suspension tools are connected with the lifting ropes, so that functions of vertically lifting and vertically moving the mobile stretcher are realized.

A personal mobility device comprising a base plate having a top surface, a rotating platform having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein a plurality of rollers are coupled to the bottom surface of the rotating platform and configured to support the rotating platform upon the top surface of the base plate, a motor coupled to the base plate and the rotating platform and configured to rotate the rotating platform with respect to the base plate, and a support structure coupled to the rotating platform and extending upward from the top surface of the rotating platform.

Lift communications systems, wall-mounted controls, and methods of using and configuring the same are disclosed. A lift communications system includes one or more lifts, each one of the one or more lifts is movable within a space. The lift communications system further includes a wall-mounted control coupled to a wall of the space. The wall-mounted control is configured to communicatively couple to the one or more lifts via a wireless connection. When the wall-mounted control is communicatively coupled to a lift of the one or more lifts, the wall-mounted control is configured to direct operation of the lift and receive data from the lift.

A bed with four moving wheels, the bed has ability to transfer the patient to the lateral bed along with the sheet, comprises two lifting jacks for raising or lowering the frame with sheets, two high power motors for moving the bed in the lateral direction by rack and pinion gears and four low power motors that rotate simultaneously and in opposite directions for locking the sheet at the four corners by rotation of motors and the whole system is powered by a battery and the motors and jacks are controlled by a control panel.

A gate system that includes a first gate that couples to a first rail, the first rail partially defining a travel path for a lifting carriage and the first gate including a first ramp having a slope that is angled relative to the first rail when coupled thereto. The system includes a second gate that couples to a second rail, the second rail partially defining the travel path for the lifting carriage and the second gate including a second ramp having a slope that is angled relative to the second rail when coupled thereto. The first ramp and the second ramp provide a switch location when coupled to the first rail and the second rail where the lifting carriage translates between the first rail and the second rail.

A bathing auxiliary chair suitable for bathtubs of different sizes generally includes a seating unit and a supporting unit. The seating unit, which allows a user to sit thereon while bathing, is supported by the supporting unit and can be moved between a first position and a second position. The seating unit is provided with a front guide shell and two rear guide shells. In use, when the seating unit is located at the first position or the second position, one of the rear guide shells can abut against a fastener located at a rear tube of the supporting unit, and the front guide shell can be coupled to a front tube of the supporting unit through a button of a snap mechanism, so that the seating unit can be fixed at the position reliably, and the bathing auxiliary chair can be used safely.

A spreader bar assembly includes first and second spreader bars and a coupling member that extends between the two spreader bars and holds them together. The spreader bars are pivotally coupled to the connecting member and are able to pivot with respect to the connecting member in a single direction only. The connecting member may be a telescopic structure with a rod and cylinder and is able to extend and contract in length. Also, there may be rotation within the spreader bar, in the example, rotation of the rod within the cylinder. This enables the spreader bar assembly to accommodate loading differences from one side of a spreader bar to the other. The structure enables two spreader bars to be manipulated together, reducing the risk of injury to a patient or caregiver.
