ABSTRACT:
The patient lifting device comprises a frame structure including tube members supported at a given level above a patient's bed running generally parallel to each other and to the patient. Flexible straps are arranged to be passed under longitudinally spaced portions of the patient. The end portions of these straps are pulled up opposite sides of the patient and over the parallel tube members. The extreme ends are then inserted in a slot defined between two closely spaced parallel rods. These parallel rods are mounted for rotation about a fixed axis intermediate the axis of each rod so that the extending end portions of the straps are coiled up on the closely spaced rods thereby exerting equal lifting forces to raise the patient from the bed without rolling the patient.
