Definitions

  • the invention concerns a sanitary lifting harness for handi ⁇ capped persons or invalid persons consisting of a hoisting band, which supports the thighs of a person and lifting cords which support the breast of the body, which band and cords are connected by their one ends and can be connected by their other ends to a lifting equipment for lifting the person by the harness.
  • the object of the invention is to improve known harnesses so that when the person is lifted in the harness in a sitting position the trousers can be moved down over the thighs so that the back of the person is exposed.
  • the harness is arran- ged to lift the person around the breast and under the thighs without the harness pressing too hard against the breast of the person.
  • the harness is easy to apply on a person in sit ⁇ ting position and the harness is also completely open from the beginning. It is not necessary to thread it on the legs of the person or breast or any other part of the person.
  • Fig. 1 is thereby a view of the harness in flat posi ⁇ tion and fig. 2 is a view of the harness with the belt tigh ⁇ tened around a body of an imagined person.
  • the harness includes a broad belt 1, which preferably has an upholstery so that it comfortably can be tightened around the breast of a human being.
  • the tightening is carried out by two lifting straps 2, 3 each of which being connected with the first end and the second end of the belt respectively.
  • One eye 4, 5 is attached at each end of the belt above the con ⁇ necting points for the lifting straps.
  • the belt is tightened around the breast of a person by that the first lifting strap 2 is brought through the eye 4 and is stretched while the second lifting strap 3 is brought through the eye 5 and is stretched whereby the two lifting straps 2 and 3 will be crossed against the front side of the person.
  • the lifting straps are then extended upwards and are so long that the ends of the lifting straps will end above the head of the person.
  • the lifting straps 2 and 3 have at least one eye 6 and 7 respectively in their free ends, but there are prefe- rably arranged several eyes in order to adapt the lifting straps to the size of the person in question.
  • a first lifting cord 8 and a second lifting cord 9 are att ⁇ ached to the upper edge of the belt close to the fastening points for the lifting straps 2 and 3 respectively.
  • each of the lifting cords consists of a loop so that the belt can be lifted by the two loops.
  • the length of the loops are such that when they are stretched the lif ⁇ ting point is at the same level as the eyes 6 and 7 of the lifting straps 2, 3 when they are crossed over the breast and tighten the belt.
  • the belt will hereby not be tightened too hard on the breast of the person because the person is lifted in both the lifting straps 2 and 3 and the lifting cords 8 and 9 and the tension of the lifting cords and the lifting straps will be adapted so that at the same tima the person will be held by the belt and be lifted by the belt.
  • lifting bands 10 and 11 are attached to the under edge of the belt.
  • Each of the lifting bands have a flat wide shape and the intention is that when the belt is tightened around the breast of the body, the lifting bands will be extended along the two sides of the persons downwards and under the thighs when the person is in sitting position.
  • the lifting bands are extended inwards and between the thighs and upwards so that the free ends of the lifting bands with an eye 12 and 13 respectively will be at the same level as the eyes 6 and 7 of the lifting straps.
  • the lifting bands have flat shape in the area where the lifting bands are passing under the thighs while from there and to the free end each band is formed as a sloop, which makes it possible to thread the first lifting band on the second one in the area between the thighs, se fig. 2. This secures a good grip around the thighs .
  • the harness is shown having about the shape which it has when it is tightened to the person.
  • the belt 1 is thus shown a bit foulded with the lifting straps being extended through eye 4 and 5 respectively and are corssed.
  • the lifting straps are tightened more than what is shown in fig. 2 so that the eyes 6 and 7 will reach the level where the free ends of the lifting cords are.
  • the lifting bands are shown in a low position, but when used the lifting bands are extended inwardly under the thighs and the ends with the eyes 12 and 13 are extended upwards to the lif- ting cords 8 and 9.
  • the lifting band 11 is extended through the lifting band 10, both lifting bands here having a form of a loop as said above.
  • the lifting bands are extended downwards from the belt and along the both sides of the person and then under the thighs .
  • the lifting cords 8 and 9 could have several suspension eyes at different distances from the ends.
