ABSTRACT:
A two-part invalid chair is disclosed which enables a patient to be easily transferred from a lying position on a bed to a seated position on a chair, or vice versa. The first part of the chair consists of an elongated, tubular frame within which a body supporting web is suspended. The second part of the chair consist of troughs mounted to a support base, each having a semi-circular cross section which conforms to the shape of the tubular frame of the first part of the chair. This enables the frame to be readily mounted to or removed from the base portion. Both the tubular frame and the base portion are articulated at hinged joints to enable the patient, while seated in a chair, to assume a variety of body inclinations. The frame can be removed from the base with the patient seated therein and can be readily transferrred to a bed where the frame can unfold to a completely flat position enabling the easy transfer of the patient to the bed. Several embodiments are disclosed having features which complement the basic function of the invalid chair.
