ABSTRACT:
A device to assist in lifting and supporting a handicapped or infirm person from a sitting position on a supporting surface, and transferring the person to a sitting position on a second supporting surface. The device includes a main body portion of fabric or other flexible material having a configuration tending to conform naturally to the body contours of a person seated thereon. Flexible, strap-type handles are permanently installed on each side of the device and are selectively useable in either of two positions, providing relatively long and short, flexible handles; alternative, rigid handles are also provided. In a second embodiment, the body portion includes an elongated opening to permit the use of toilet facilities by a person seated on the device.
