ABSTRACT:
A transfer apparatus for assisting a person when moving between support surfaces comprising a planar base structure spanning between a first surface and a second surface and a planar person-supporting platform configured for receiving a person thereon. A slidable bearing structure couples the platform with the base structure and the platform slides in a first direction with respect to the base structure to move a person on the platform from said first surface to said second surface positioned away from said first surface. A locking device coupled between the base structure and the platform prevents the platform from moving in a second direction opposite said first direction such that a person on the platform may move from the first surface to the second surface without losing progress made toward the second surface.
