ABSTRACT:
A bedside swivel device is presently disclosed for assisting individuals with physical impairments to maneuver themselves in and out of bed. The bedside swivel device is a swivel socket attached to the side of the bed and is constructed to accommodate various other structures that may be utilized by a physically impaired individual, without the need to take up indispensable floor space that is needed by the wheelchair bound individuals. Such structures include a crane, tables, drawers, sinks, televisions, and the like. Further, the swivel socket and crane combination can be utilized without the need for electricity or any backup power source. Another feature utilizes the disabled individual's physical abilities to the maximum extent possible thereby increasing the individual's health and rate of rehabilitation. In another instance, a power backup source can be supplied with the assembly. The swivel socket and crane are fully mounted to the bed such that the leg and foot support are only for resting and supporting the floor. This mounting structure allows for the device to be moved, in connection and in concert with the bed, to a new position or location.
