Assist device for use with seating means such as commode, chair and the like

摘要

The assist device comprises a gate rotatable about a horizontal axis and attached to a vertical frame, which forms a protective enclosure around an infirm person when wishing to sit down or rise from a seat. The vertical frame is connected to a base which holds securely the seating accommodation. The base further incorporates structure to anchor the assist device to a heavier piece of furniture. The device can be operated by an infirm person with no or little assistance by another.
