<p>Apparatus for handling hospital patients or other persons who are disabled or infirm facilitates lifting into and out of a bath while firmly supported in a sitting position. The apparatus comprises lifting mechanism including a lifting arm which projects from a lifting column. A patient support member in the form of a seat is in use rigidly supported at the end of the arm remote from the column, with the fore-and-aft centre line of the seat offset from the axis of the column. The said centre line is tangential to a circle centred on the column in plan view, the arm being curved or cranked in plan view for connection at the rear of the seat.</p> |
