ABSTRACT:
A heavy object such as a patient is moved laterally from a first surface such as a bed onto a second surface such as a gurney by the patient mover of the invention. The patient mover is positioned on the far side of the gurney. It operates by unwinding a web from a roller rotatably supported on an upstanding frame mounted on a wheeled stand until the web covers the mattress on the gurney and is adjacent the edge of the bed. The edge of the sheet adjacent the web is removed from under the mattress and is inserted through the slot of a tube attached to the web into the bore of the tube. The sheet is locked into the tube by inserting a rod into the bore of the tube. The web is rewound onto the roller and slowly pulls the sheet carrying the patient onto the gurney. The edge of the sheet is then released by removing the rod from the bore.
