ABSTRACT:
A device for moving a recumbent person comprises a baseplate, an insertion plate formed integrally of two flat plates stacked vertically with a small gap therebetween and attached to the baseplate to be horizontally extensible and retractable with respect thereto, a pair of rollers disposed one above the other at the proximal end of the baseplate, a first belt fixed to the upper of said pair of rollers at one end so as to be windable thereon, passed outward across the upper surface, around the distal edge and back along the lower surface of the upper flat plate of the insertion plate, and fixed to the lower of said pair of rollers at the other end so as to be windable thereon, and a second belt encircling the lower flat plate of the insertion plate and having its opposite ends fixed to the baseplate near the distal end thereof. When a recumbent person is to be moved, the insertion plate is inserted under the person while the first belt is simultaneously fed out from the lower roller so that the during the insertion of the insertion plate the first belt remains stationary. The upper and lower rollers are then rotated to draw in the belt together with the insertion plate, thus transferring the recumbent person onto the device proper.
