CHAIR, FRAME AND LIFTING GARMENT USEFUL FOR PATIENTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/006845
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for supporting, lifting, moving, mobilizing, ambulating, and physically rehabilitating a user such as patients in hospitals comprises a chair 100, a frame 200, and a lifting garment 300. The chair 100 has a seat 102 having a front portion 104 and a rear portion 106 and is so constructed that as the seat 102 moves towards a standing position, the rear portion 106 of the seat 102 remains substantially horizontally so a user does not slide out of the seat. The frame 200 is constructed so that the user can enter the frame 200 from either the front side 202 or the rear side 204. The lifting garment 300 is made of a fabric that contracts normal to a direction in which it is pulled for ease in raising a patient in or out of a bed, a chair, or a toilet, to or from a standing position.
