ABSTRACT:
A device for lifting and transporting a patient from a bed includes a base frame with ground wheels for rolling across the ground. The frame includes two parallel horizontal rails with each rail having a main fixed center wheel and castor wheels at forward and rearward ends of the rail. A post mounted on the frame can move vertically and carries a push bar. A seat is mounted on the post on a U-shape frame with the seat including a base and a back rest portion. The base is pivotally mounted on one leg of the U-shape member and the back rest can pivot and slide relative to the other leg of the U-shape. The U-shape support is mounted on the post so as to swivel about a vertical axis with the vertical axis also translating relative to the post to move the center of gravity of the patient from an initial lifting position to a transport position.
