ABSTRACT:
A lifting aid apparatus permits easy stocking of shelves while in use and unimpeded movement by an individual wearing the lifting aid apparatus while not being used. The apparatus includes a support table which moves between an inoperative or closed position and an operative or horizontal position using a biased hinge. With the bias positioning the table in a somewhat vertical position, the table is out of the way when an individual is moving about while donning the apparatus. The table can be pivoted downwardly so that it is generally horizontal and be used to support at least a portion of a container so that contents of the container can be readily accessed by the individual. The individual can position the support table with respect to an adjacent shelf so that another portion of the container can be supported by the shelf wherein the container rests on both the support table and the shelf for easy container emptying, particularly for restocking shelves. The biased hinge can be spring loaded and adjustable in tension to accommodate differently sized containers.
