Title:
A HOIST FOR HOISTING OR TRANSFERRING MOBILITY IMPAIRED PERSONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002089720
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A hoist for hoisting or transferring mobility impaired persons comprises a collapsible support structure (10) and a hoisting device (11-14) mounted thereon and extending upwardly therefrom. The support structure comprises a pair of mutually spaced, elongated foot members (15) arranged on either side of the hoisting device and connecting members, which define at least one parallelogram or nearly parallelogram linkage (18). The parallelogram linkage comprises a pair of parallel or nearly parallel connecting links (19) allowing mutual transverse movement of the foot members (15) between a fully spaced position and a collapsed position, in which the foot members are arranged adjacent to each other. The collapsible hoist may be transported easily from one place of use to another. Thus, it can be transported in the boot of a normal car and can be carried in parts, which do not weigh more than what is generally considered safe for a woman to carry.
