ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which enables one person to move a patient lying in a bed up towards the head of the bed comprised of a horizontal beam placed behind the head board with a winch affixed thereto with cables running through pulleys positioned on the beam transversely to a drawsheet on the surface of the bed. The drawsheet is made with reinforced corners with locking/unlocking clips affixed thereto for attachment to the cables and has a bottom panel made of satin or other slippery fabric material to reduce friction when the patient lying thereon is drawn up towards the head board of the bed by one person turning the crank of the winch. The drawsheet is then unlocked from the cable and removed after the patient has been repositioned as desired.
