ABSTRACT:
A device resting on a floor surface for enhancing the self-mobility of a person comprises a base structure comprised of a plurality of floor rail stabilizers and a base platform. The plurality of floor rail stabilizers include parallel sides. The base platform is comprised of a base frame and a base plate fixably attached to the base frame with the base frame having parallel side surfaces and being fixably attached in flush surface-to-surface relation to the plurality of floor rail stabilizers for strength and stability. The base platform is located and positioned between the plurality of floor rail stabilizers for holding the device to the floor surface. A plurality of upright side stands are sized and positioned on the floor rail stabilizers for sustaining and transferring a lateral force applied by the person. Each upright side stand is comprised of a plurality of vertical rail members and a plurality of angled rod members. Each upright side stand is located and positioned with each angled rod member positioned in a direction toward the back end of the corresponding floor rail stabilizer to provide stability and each vertical rail member thereby transferring the lateral force to the corresponding angled rod member. Each angled rod member thereby transfers the lateral force to the corresponding floor rail stabilizer to resist tipping and to relieve the corresponding vertical rail member of stress.
