Abstract

This device is of the type comprising a self-locking gas spring (8, 28) associated with each movable element (4, 5) of the chair or bed and arranged so as to permit, via its elongation, lifting of this movable element; each gas spring (8, 28) has an associated weight, respectively (16, 41), acting in opposition to said spring and capable of being displaced so as to compensate, at rest, the force of the gas spring (8, 28) relative to the weight of the person supported by this movable element (4, 5). This device may be used by any able-bodied or handicapped person without requiring any effort on the part thereof and without assistance from a third person. <IMAGE>
