ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a self-operating stand up support apparatus to be utilized by a person such as a quadriplegic for aid in movement from horizontal to vertical positions. The stand up support apparatus includes a main support frame assembly; a person support bed assembly pivotally connected to the main support frame assembly; and a power actuator and control assembly operable to selectively move the person support bed assembly. The main support frame assembly is provided with a support frame having a support wheel assembly connected thereto for ease of movement. The person support bed assembly is provided with a rectangular support frame supporting a body support assembly having a main body support and an upper body support. The upper body support is pivotal relative to the main body support to provide a work platform. The person support bed assembly further includes a person anchor assembly having a plurality of handle members and U-shaped anchor members to which anchor strap members are readily attached. The power actuator and control assembly includes a power actuator assembly connected to the person support bed assembly and a main control assembly. The power actuator assembly includes a motor member connected to a power screw member which, in turn, is connected to the body support assembly for pivotal movement thereof. The main control assembly includes a limit switch assembly and an actuator control assembly. The limit switch assembly includes horizontal and vertical control switches to limit movement of the person support bed assembly. The actuator control assembly includes an actuator member having raise and lower switch members to control movement of the stand up support apparatus.
