The disclosed person transfer, load and unload device has a base 15 that supports a cradle 10 that contains the capsule comprise of 4 main struts , an upper torso strut 1, thigh strut for upper legs 2 and a lower leg strut 3 for lower legs and a link strut 8. Attached to this are a series of supports that support the person including a retractable thigh support 4, knee supports 6 and lower shin supports 7. The four said main struts are hinged so that the structure can change shape as it is moved by the linear actuator 30. In loading, shortening of this said actuator rolls the capsule toward the center of the chair. A point is reached at which further shortening of the said linear actuator causes the said capsule to change its geometry which ensures the person is kept in the upright position. There is a second linear actuator 41 that deploys the seat support The cradle is designed so it can swivel 180 degrees to face either direction. The 4 castor wheels and 2 large drive wheels ensure stability and maneuverability. There are a number of sensors that allow precision movement of the wheels and assist with navigation (in fully automatic mode) throughout the environment of the device. Finijre 7A |
