摘要

A lifting device assists a seated disabled person to stand. The lifting device consists of a castor-mounted L-shaped upright frame with an inclined lifting jack (3) with a horizontal side-extension to a horizontal U-shaped support which is presented to the rib cage under the arms. The lower end (4) of the inclined jack has knee-pads which support the lower legs as the frame (8) raises the patient from the seated position.
