ABSTRACT:
The apparatus for carrying a person in a sitting condition includes an upper carrying web which loops around the person's back and extends forwards under the person's arms and a lower carrying web which loops under the person's lower thighs and extends forwards to the left and right of the person's lower thighs. A support frame is provided with a carrying lever cantilevered to the frame so as to have a free end. A support member having two arms pivotally secured thereto, projects forwards from connection to the carrying lever free end. The two arms are biased laterally apart and connect with opposite ends of the upper carrying web. Rods projecting downwards from the support member connect with engagement devices on the lower carrying strap, including two at opposite ends of the lower carrying strap for mounting the lower carrying strap to the support member. The upper carrying web is sufficiently long that the arms, upon pivoting towards one another due to the weight of the person, tend to wrap the upper carrying web further about the person, thus helping to more securely hold the person.
