ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for moving a patient toward the head of a bed without touching or lifting him. An upper canvas upon which the patient rests is detachably secured to a take-up bar at the head of the bed. A lower canvas disposed between the upper canvas and the underlying mattress or cushion has its lower edge secured at the foot of the bed and its head edge pulled toward the head of the bed by a tensioning device. The lower canvas is thus held taut and longitudinal movement thereof is prevented. Since the length of the upper canvas is not limited by the length of the bed, the patient may be moved several times before the device is reset to the start position.
