ABSTRACT:
A support structure for a hydrotherapy hoist or pool lift comprises a U-shaped upper portion which extends over the decking at a side edge of the pool, and a lower portion welded to the intermediate limb of the upper U and extending down into the pool. The upper portion engages an upper anchorage at each side limb of the U, and a reaction pad at the lower end of the lower portion bears against the side wall of the pool. The hoist has a vertical column from which a short cantilever lifting arm projects, a patient support seat being mounted on the arm. A lifting mechanism is operable to raise and lower the arm and seat. The hoist is detachably supported by means of pintle-type bearings mounted, respectively, adjacent the upper and lower ends of the lower support portion with offset bearing pins on the column engaging in bearing blocks welded to the support. The bearings allow the hoist to be swung through 180.degree. about a vertical axis between a loading position, with the seat above the decking, and a treatment position in which the seat and a supported patient can be lowered into the pool.
