ABSTRACT:
A wheeled lift apparatus for lifting a person includes a base frame mounted upon transport wheels, two pairs of support arms each having an end pivotally attached to the base frame and having an opposite end pivotally attached to a support frame disposed above the base frame and supporting a support platform which is capable of supporting a person in the prone position. The wheeled lift apparatus also includes a two directional motor, a screw jack connected to the motor and to a bracket attached to the support frame, and a control unit having two momentary switches, one for energizing the motor to effect raising of the support platform and the other for energizing the motor to effect lowering of the support platform. The wheeled lift apparatus can be stood upright upon the support wheels and upon a pair of feet members and conveniently stored out of the way and allows just one person to operate the wheeled lift apparatus and further saves the helper from having to try to lift the disabled person to either the bed or the sofa.
