A lift and position device and adapter and methods of use therewith designed to aid attendants in moving and propping the various selected body parts of a patient from atop a support surface, for example, a mattress or hospital bed. The device utilizes a base for stability, a separately powered screw jack, radial adjustment head, a cushion cradle and a single or plurality of fitted cushion(s) configured to optimally raise and lower a particular body part of a patient such as his or her arms, torso, legs, back and the like. An adapter device may optionally re-orient the lift and positioning device, as appropriate, to suit the specific needs of an attendant wishing to the lift, shift, position or prop and secure a particular body part of a patient.

A lifting device including a top member, a pair of side members, a plurality of shield members, and a hoist member. The pair of side members may be attached to the top member and may have a plurality of leg members. The plurality of shield members may be attached to and extending between an upper portion of the pair of side members. The hoist member may be attached to a portion of the top member and may have a load member that may be carried within the hoist member. The hoist member may be configured to rotate the load member between a wound position and an unwound position. The top member and the plurality of shield members may be configured to move between a collapsed position and an extended position.

The present invention relates to an inflatable chair lifting device comprised of an inflatable body further comprised of a pair of side members, a backrest member, a front member, a seat member, an electric pump and a foot pump. The body is preferably hollow and inflatable and may be generally configured as a chair. The body can be placed under a fallen user in an uninflated state, such that the body can then be fully inflated to form a chair-like structure that raises a user from a fallen position. The body can further be inflated manually via blowing air into the body, via a foot pump or via an integrated electric pump.

Disclosed is a bath lift with a rotating seat assembly to assist an individual with decreased mobility in and out of a bathtub. The rotating seat includes an assembly that can be raised or lowered using a DC powered linear actuator. The linear actuator will also move a backrest from an upright position to a reclined position. A controller includes logic to prevent operation should the batteries have insufficient power to raise the seat assembly. Slip resistant padding is comprised of medical-grade, closed cell, molded polyurethane padding that does not absorb water and reduces the risk of skin tears.

A foldable electric bed comprises a front frame, a rear frame and several pieces of bed boards. The front frame is provided with a front base which is fixedly provided with a front supporting part used for supporting the bed boards arranged at the front frame. The rear frame is provided with a rear base which is fixedly provided with a rear supporting part used for supporting the bed boards arranged at the rear frame. The front base and the rear base are articulated at an articulating shaft through a connector and an axle pin, such that the front frame and the rear frame are able to fold between an unfolded position and a folded position in relation to each other. At the unfolded position, the front frame and the rear frame are adjacent to each other along the horizontal direction.

A sheet assembly includes a sheet having an edge and a pocket extending longitudinally along the edge. A plurality of loops are arranged along the edge and extend from openings formed in the pocket of the sheet. An adjustment webbing is slidably positioned within the pocket. At least a portion of each loop of the plurality of loops is anchored to the adjustment webbing such that sliding the adjustment webbing along the pocket pulls the plurality of loops into the pocket and reduces an exposed length of the plurality of loops

An inflatable device for lifting a patient includes an inflatable body having a top sheet and a bottom sheet attached along opposing side edges and forming at least one cavity there between, and a plurality of connecting members extending outwardly from the opposing side edges of the inflatable device. The inflatable device is configured to be inflated while being lifted by the hoist.

A robot includes an arm mechanism that operates in accordance with a first motion pattern for supporting a user with a standing-up motion which starts in a sitting posture and finishes in a standing posture, a control unit that (i) acquires first information used to identify a predetermined position of the arm mechanism corresponding to a half-crouching posture of the user during a motion in accordance with the first motion pattern and (ii) detects whether the current position of the arm mechanism operating in accordance with the first motion pattern is included in a first range including the predetermined position identified by the first information, and a presentation unit that presents a first signal if the control unit detects that the position of the arm mechanism is included in the first range.

A lifting device may include a main body member and a top member that is detachably connectable to portions of the main body member. The top member may include a top and a hoist assembly that is connected to and extends outwardly from the top. The lifting device may be used to assist in lifting a patient from a seated or a prone position. The main body member is moveable between a collapsed position that is defined as side support member of the main body member being positioned adjacent to a support connecting member of the main body member, and the opened position is defined as a side support members of the main body member being positioned substantially perpendicular to the support connecting member.

A self or assist-operated lift apparatus is disclosed. In various embodiments, the lift apparatus includes a vertical rail; a linear bearing positioned to be moved along the vertical rail; a drive mechanism coupled to the linear bearing and configured to move the linear bearing at a controlled rate along the vertical bearing between a first position at a lower end of a range of motion and a second position at an upper end of the range of motion; and a seat attached to the linear bearing, the seat being constructed at least in part of a substantially rigid material and having a size and shape suitable to accommodate a seated human occupant.
