When the rope connected to the hoist and pulleys is actuated by the patient or a person beside the bed, the patient is moved from either the foot of the bed toward the head of the bed or from the side of the bed toward the center of the bed. A rope gripping means is provided to clamp the rope and suspend the patient in an elevated position above the bed.
