ABSTRACT:
A portable apparatus to enable a wheel chair invalid to be transferred onto and out of a bed or chair, comprising an overhead track extending over the bed or chair supported by a tripod with telescoping legs at each end, and a wheeled carriage that rides on the track. The wheeled carriage is equipped with a winch and rope tackle that hooks onto a flexible fabric sling in which the invalid sits. Activating the winch raises the sling clear of the wheel chair and the wheeled carriage is moved over the bed or chair. The sling is then lowered to the bed or chair and disconnected from the tackle. The apparatus can be broken down in sections, the tripod legs telescoped and folded, and all parts placed in an automobile trunk for transport or storage in a small space.
