RISING SUPPORT INTEGRATED IN A WALKING AID

摘要

The present invention concerns a rising support integrated in a walking aid and a method of connecting a sling (13) or harness to the walking aid. The walking aid has one part which is adjustable in height in relation to the rest of the walking aid. One or more traction devices, e.g. in the form of wires (11), are connected to the walking aid. One end of each traction device is fastened to the sling (13), while the other end of the traction device is fastened to a fixed part of the walking aid. Each traction device goes via the part adjustable in height. A person placed in the sling (13) will be automatically risen by means of the traction devices when the part adjustable in height is lifted, in that the traction device is fastened to the sling (13) and a fixed part of the walking aid and that the traction device passes the part adjustable in height.
