  • the sliding drive of the inner tube 7 is carried out by an arranged in the outer tube 6 Electric motor, which is via a rack or spindle gear (not shown in the figures) the inner tube 7 moves.
  • a rack or spindle gear not shown in the figures
  • the one designated as a whole is 9 Table top unit arranged. It is in the direction of the double arrow 10 slidably mounted on the inner tube 7, including the latter two guide tubes 11, in which tubular guide struts 12 of the table top unit 9 are guided displaceably in the direction of the double arrow 10.

  • a threaded spindle 17 is also fitted, the one Spindle nut 18 penetrates. The latter is from one on the top 8 of the inner tube 7 attached electric motor 19 driven in rotation. By an actuation of the spindle nut 18, the base 14 in the direction 10 moved back and forth.
  • each strut 15 16 there is also a pair of bearing tubes 20 arranged parallel to the guide tubes 11, on which a transverse to it running carriage 21 with the help of guide sleeves 21 'also in Direction 10 is slidably mounted.
  • the two guide sleeves 21 ' are coupled to one another by an oblique strut 21 ′′.
  • the slide 21 is to drive via a further spindle drive 22 in the base frame 14.
  • Each end of the carriage 21 carries a mechanical one on its underside Belt winder 23.
  • In each belt winder 23 there is a lifting belt 24 available, which is provided at its free end with a buckle tongue 25 is.
  • the belt winder 23 can be operated manually via crank rods 26, to adjust the basic length of the lifting straps 24.
  • a transformer unit 27 is also mounted on the base frame 14 serves for the power supply of the various drives.
  • the actual table top 28 is attached, which within the Frame 13 arranged construction parts cleanly covers.

  • a first actuation step the Carriage 21 moved away from person P in table-top base 14, until the lifting straps 24 are tightened. So there is an automatic belt tensioning. Then the lifting column moves in a superimposed manner 5 and the table top unit 9 is based on the natural process of getting up Movement imposed on person P. First the lifting column 5 put into operation until the person P due to the train of Belts 24 begins to rise from the seat of the wheelchair R. After that additionally moves the table top unit 9 by actuating the electric motor 19 and shifts away from the person P. This will simultaneously the articulation point of the lifting straps 24 also moved and the buttocks 35 the person P in the direction of the lifting column 5 and thus over his own feet relocated.
