Suspended chair type patient lift - is frame-mounted with spreadable legs and runner wheels for increased stability

摘要

The lifting device includes a frame with spreadable legs provided with runner wheels. A lifting arm comprising a hydraulic or pneumatic jack with a pair of parallelogram arranged coupling rods enables up and downwards movement. A patient supporting chair is freely movable on a vertical axis. The chair (14) has at least one suspension rod (15), which is positioned behind the chair seat (20). It protrudes vertically upwards with an angled bar (16) ending in a transverse bar (17), with a rotatable part (13). The construction permits the centre of gravity to be in the rotary spindle axis (27) vertically under the suspension point.
