摘要

An invalid hoist sling attachment device comprises a holder 10 attached to or adapted to be attached to a sling hanger of an invalid hoist (or a sling) and a clip 11 attached to or adapted to be attached to the sling (or the sling hanger). The holder comprises a plate-like part 13 and a headed stud 14 projecting from one face of the plate-like part. The clip has a slot 17 comprising a first portion 17 a through which the head of the stud will pass and a second portion 17 b through which the head of the stud will not pass. The holder also has a resilient locking element 18 having at least a portion 19 which protrudes from said one face of the plate-like part to prevent movement of the clip relative to the holder, when the clip is engaged with the headed stud of the holder, into a position in which the head of the stud and the first portion of the slot are aligned without first depressing the resilient locking element.
