The lifting and positioning system has been devised in order to prevent disabled people from having to move from their wheelchairs to a doctor's chair. The system consists of following components: a counterframe (1), joined through some links (10) to a lifting frame (2); a frame (2), connected through hinges to a reclining platform (3); a platform (3), behind which a column construction (7) is located, carrying a lifting jack (8) on top, which is linked to a headrest (6); a number of lifting jacks (4), and reclining jacks (5); accident prevention, and linking elements. The disabled person climbs onto the platform (3) with his wheelchair; the wheelchair can be reclined, while the frame (2) can only be lifted. The adjustment of those two components, and of the headrest (6) allows the doctor to put his patient to the desired height, and position. |
