ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a wheeled structure for supporting a patient in a sitting position with the aid of raisable and lowerable arrangements designed for lifting a patient from e.g. a chair, a wheelchair or other kind of seat and transferring the patient to any desired place while depositing the patient in a sitting position, the substructure having two longitudinal side members with carrier wheels. According to the invention, the side members are connected to the structure by means of pivotable link arms enabling adjustment of the side members into desired lateral positions for varying the width between the side members as required. When driving up towards a wheelchair for example the width must be greater, whereas driving in narrow spaces such as lavatories requires a minimum width.
