The present invention relates to a scissors lift comprising a bottom frame, a top frame and a scissors mechanism arranged between said bottom frame and said top frame to displace said bottom frame and said top frame relative to each other by transfer of an actuation force. The scissors mechanism comprises a central hollow scissors arm delimited between opposite scissors arm surfaces, wherein said central hollow scissors arm has a bottom pivotal connection connecting it to said bottom frame and a top pivotal connection connecting it to said top frame. Further, the mechanism comprises two passive scissors arms being pivotally connected to said bottom frame and pivotally connected to said top frame. Each of said two passive scissors arms are pivotally connected to said central hollow scissors arm on said opposite scissors arm surfaces of said central hollow scissors arm. Further, the scissors lift comprises a motor providing said actuation force, said motor located between said opposite scissors arm surfaces of said central hollow scissors arm. Thereby, the motor may be protected and at least partially enclosed by the scissors lift and even by the central hollow scissors arm, allowing a safer and/or more easily maintained scissors lift.

Method and apparatus for a patient lifting system having an upright pole having a lower end attached to a base wherein the base is mounted on a supporting surface such as a floor proximate a bed of the patient. Extending laterally away from the pole is an angularly adjustable arm or extension which is user selectable to be either; e.g., at a 90-degree angle or a 45-degree angle, which arm is supported by a brace connected. between the extension arm and the upright pole. The pole is rotatable in a 360 degree arc and is hollow on the inside which allows a load line to travel through the interior of the gin pole from its lower end to its upper outlet end and includes a plurality of pulleys which allow the load line to travel through the inside of the hoisting system. Also included as a part of the hoisting system is a load line attached to the lower end of the pole using a wench or the like. The wench is electrically operated by a handheld electrical controller which can be held in the hand of a patient so that the patient can assist in maneuvering himself

Systems, methods, and devices for seat elevation includes a base and a horizontal seat portion. Vertical supports attached to the seat portion include multiple lift angle holes that allow the seat to be elevated to different lifted angles. Elongate members pivotally connect to vertical supports. The elongate members attach via one of the multiple lift angle holes. The elongate members are able to attach to different lift angle holes. The lifted angle is determined by the first one of the at least two seat position holes. A lift generator is attached to the base and extends to lift the horizontal seat portion into the lifted position. The lift generator contracts to return the horizontal seat portion to the seated position.

A mobility aid including a body assembly, a handle assembly, and electrical assembly. Said body assembly includes a base portion having wheels with locking mechanisms, a telescopic central portion, and a top portion having telescopic portions. The telescopic portions are capable of being extended a predetermined length. The handle assembly includes handles mounted on the top portion. The handles are removable by means of straps attached at the base of each handle. Said straps can be locked when extended. A controller from the electrical assembly performs preconfigured actions such as extend or contract the telescopic members, drive the wheels in a desired direction. The handles are configured to secure a patient in a supine position to the pulled the patient by means of the straps and the wheels to place the patient in a lateral position and permit a caretaker to perform personal care on the patient.

A transfer machine includes: a main body assembly, including two lifting rods capable of moving up and down, two seat plates corresponding to the two lifting rods, wherein the seat plates are capable of rotating around the corresponding lifting rods, allowing the seat plates to close with or separate from each other; a lifting assembly, including a base, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the lifting rods and an electronic controlling assembly. The base includes a guiding bar extending vertically, the lifting rods can move along the guiding bar; the electronic controlling assembly includes a pushing rod, fixedly connected to the connecting rod to drive the two lifting rods to move to further drive the main body assembly to move. The connecting rod has a first connection portion and a second connection portion, a foot section is formed between the first connection portion and the second connection portion.

A toilet includes a base, a cover, and a seat. The seat is rotatably coupled to the base, and the cover is rotatably coupled to the seat. The cover and the seat define an angled axis that is oriented upward and forward toward a front end of the base. The cover and the seat are each configured to rotate about the angled axis between a lowered position in which the cover and the seat are located adjacent the base and a stowed position in which the cover and the seat are oriented in an upward direction.

Control unit (7), especially for a patient lift (1) comprising a base (10) and a power supply (8), said power supply (8) is releasably mounted on the base (10), and comprising locking means for retaining the power supply (8) on the base (10). The locking means comprises a set of slots and protrusions (17,18;20,22) on the base (10) and the power supply (8) and where the protrusions and slots engage each other, when the base (10) and the power supply (8) is displaced sideways in relation to each other. A tab (27) is arranged on an arm (24) of the locking handle (23). The tab (27) goes into the gap (28) between the base (10) and the power supply (8), when the locking handle (23) is locked. Thus, the protrusions (17,20) and slots (18,22) are in engagement with each other and at the same time functioning as a locking mechanism.

A human lift apparatus is disclosed. In various embodiments, the lift apparatus includes a substantially vertical guide rail; a carriage positioned to be moved up and down along the guide rail; a drive mechanism coupled to the carriage and configured to move the carriage at a controlled rate along the guide rail; and a tiltable seat coupled mechanically to the carriage in a manner that allows the seat to tilt about a substantially transverse tilt axis that is substantially parallel to the floor and runs substantially across the seat at a depth that enables a human subject to be seated on the tiltable seat with the center of gravity of the human subject being between the tilt axis and a back end of the seat. The tiltable seat is tiltably mounted in a manner and location that allows the tiltable seat to tilt down, with a front edge of the seat lower than the back edge of the seat, as the center of gravity of the human subject is shifted to a position forward of the tilt axis.

The invention relates to a prone position device that is modular and has universal integration capability, for an effortless transition to a prone position in patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 or any acute respiratory distress syndrome through the use of a mechanical means that may be fitted into a full spectrum of beds to support a multitude of resting positions for the patient.

Provided is a transfer device capable of moving a care receiver who has difficulty in walking by himself/herself to a desired place in a comfortable posture. The transfer device is capable of moving a care receiver by a care giver. The transfer device includes: a front wheel and a rear wheel; a support body which supports an upper body of the care receiver; a leg guide portion which is brought into contact with lower leg front surfaces of the care receiver and is inclinable frontward from an approximately vertical state; and a foot placing portion on which soles of the care receiver are placed; a rear wheel advancing and retracting mechanism configured to move the rear wheel rearward in an interlocking manner with frontward inclining of the leg guide portion.
