ABSTRACT:
A device for transferring recumbent hospital patients from one location to another is constructed with a platform assembly mounted on a support member to be moveable within a horizontal transfer plane between two end positions equidistantly located on opposite sides of the support member. The platform assembly includes a pair of superposed rectangular separator plates each having a conveyor apron trained thereabout. Drive means are provided for shifting the platform assembly between its end positions within the horizontal transfer plane and also for selectively driving the conveyor aprons. The separator plates have attached thereto lateral check members extending along the sides of the platform assembly in directions parallel to the directions of movement of the assembly. Guide devices are mounted on opposite sides of the support member and arranged in engagement with the lateral cheek members of the platform assembly in order to guide the assembly for shifting movement within the horizontal transfer plane. The guide members and the lateral cheek members are constructed to enable movement of the platform assembly within the horizontal transfer plane between the two opposed end positions of movement which are located generally equidistantly on opposite sides of the main support member so that the horizontal transfer plane is defined to extend generally symmetrically relative to the support member. The support member is formed with a width dimension taken parallel to the direction of movement of the platform assembly which is less than one-half, and preferably within the range between one-third and one-sixth, of the width dimension of the platform assembly taken in the direction parallel to the direction of movement of the assembly.
