  • the patient lift of the aforementioned type is characterized in that the backrest means consist of two separate, substantially rigid backrest elements, configured so that they can be slid respectively behind the back of a patient in position sitting or lying, on one side and the other of said patient, without having to lift the latter, in that the means forming a seat are configured so that they can be slid under the thighs or under the buttocks of said patient without having to lift the latter, and in that the backrest elements and the means forming the seat are associated with means for connecting them respectively, in an erasable manner during the adaptation of the patient lift to said patient, with the means forming a crosspiece , the latter being placed in front of said patient.
  • the patient lift comprises a cross member which is fixed relative to the slide and which carries two rigid uprights suspended under the cross member; at least one front arm, adapted to carry the corresponding backrest element in an adjustable manner, is articulated at one of its ends to the free lower end of each of the uprights and is connected to the cross-member by traction means, and separate seating elements are attached respectively to the lower end of each of the uprights.
  • the traction means thus make it possible to pivot the front arms which each carry a backrest element, in order to move a patient from the lying position to the sitting position and vice versa.
  • the cross-member means comprise a transverse arm substantially parallel to the base and mounted at one end of a crank, the crank being at its other end fixed radially on a rotary shaft parallel to the transverse arm and carried by the slide, the back elements are each associated with an element to connect them respectively rigidly in an adjustable manner at the ends of the transverse arm, and the slide comprises actuation means for rotating the shaft, the transverse arm and the backrest elements of approximately 90 ° between a low position and a high position, in one direction or the other, to bring in a seated position a patient initially in a lying position on the back and vice versa.
  • the transverse arm which pivots with the backrest elements constitutes in all positions with the latter a retaining element for the patient's bust in all directions.
  • seat means intended to be slid under the thighs of a patient in a seated position are adapted to be fixed and suspended from the transverse arm when the latter is in its high position or in a position close to its position high.
  • the back elements and the seating means are fixed to a transverse bar normally parallel to the transverse arm, fixed to the latter and adapted to pivot relative to the latter around a axis located in its middle and substantially vertical when the transverse arm is in its high position.
  • each backrest element also includes a sub-axillary support intended to be passed under the arm of a patient.
  • the patient lift comprises a frame forming a base 1 provided with rollers 2, a column 5 fixed on the frame 1, a slide 7 movable along the column 5 and means for moving the slide 7 along column 5.
  • the base frame 1 is in known manner formed of bars 1a, 1b, 1c articulated at 3 and 4 to allow the patient lift to be folded up in order to store it, and to allow ensuring the best possible stability of the patient lift during use.
  • the joints 3 and 4 can be quickly blocked by respective screws 3a and 4a.
  • the rollers 2 are pivotally mounted on the frame 1.
  • the column 5 is pivotally mounted relative to the base 6. It has a hollow C-shaped section to receive the slide head 7 in a T shape.
  • the slide head 7 is internally threaded to receive an endless screw 8 housed at inside the column 5 and maneuvered by the crank 9 to move the slide 7 along the column 5.
  • the patient lift comprises a cross-member 10 which is fixed relative to the slide 7 and which carries two rigid uprights 11 suspended under the cross-member 10.
