ABSTRACT:
A device (10) for moving patients who are confined to bed comprises a travelling undercarriage which can be locked in place by means of a locking brake (84), a stretcher support (16) which can be adjusted vertically and laterally relative to the undercarriage (16) and a locking gear (90) for the stretcher support (16). In order to obtain a stabilizing system securing the arrangement against tilting, which is easy to operate, it is proposed to provide a solid block (14) carrying the said vertically adjustable stretcher support (16) which block is carried itself by at least one guide element (34, 36) extending transversely in the said undercarriage (12) in such a manner that it can be displaced in transverse direction between two lateral end positions, with the locking gear comprising stop means which is arranged at the block (14), which can be controlled from the said stretcher support (16) and engaged in recesses provided on the guide element (34, 36) for blocking the relative movement between the block (14) and the undercarriage (12).
