3,392,410 PATIENT LIFT WITH STRETCHER R PLATFORM Gunnar Grahn, 18 Garvaregatan, Arvidsjaur, Sweden Filed Aug. 12, 1966, Ser. No. 572,062 4 Claims. (Cl. -83) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to an apparatus for lifting bedridden persons according to which the apparatus is mounted on a permanent foundation such as a floor or ceiling and is provided with a free arm for carrying a patient support, which arm is operable by a jack operably supported by said foundation and having a handle for operating said jack.
This invention relates to an arrangement for lifting patients, which arrangement is provided with a stretcher or platform and intended preferably for use in connection with moving patients confined to bed.
In a plurality of conventional arrangements for lifting patients the lifting is effected by means of screws and running nuts. However, these arrangements usually are relatively complicated and, therefore, expensive to produce. In order to lift a patient or a bed, it is necessary in many cases to use more than one lifting arrangement, which are interconnected in various 'ways. This arrangement renders the appanatus bulky and difficult to handle. The arrangement according to the present invention wherein the lift is combined with a stretcher or platform, is of a simple constnuction easy to operate and in a certain embodiment easy to mount on a bed.
The present invention consists in lifting apparatus for patients comprising, a stand adapted to be mounted on, or adjacent a bed, or on a separate structure, an arm mounted at one end on said stand for movement about a vertical axis and a screw jack mechanism for raising and lowering the free end of the arm relative to the stand, said free end being provided with a suspension device for connection to a stretcher or platform which is adapted to have a patient positioned thereon.
The invention further consists in 'a lifting apparatus for patients comprising a tubular stand having members for mounting the stand on, or adjacent a bed, or on a separate structure, a tubular arm rotatable about a vertical 'axis and a screw jack mechanism for moving said arm vertically within said tubular stand, the free end of said arm being provided with a suspension device for connection to a stretcher or platform which is adapted to have a patient positioned thereon.
A suitable embodiment of the invention is described in a greater detail in the following, reference being had to the accompanying drawing whereon FIG. 1 shows a patient lift mounted on a hospital bed with a stretcher carriage placed adjacent thereto, the arrangement partially being shown in a section,
FIG. 2 shows the tubular stand with the pivoting arm and with suspension means,
FIG. 3 shows a modified arrangement which obviates the necessity for the bevel gear drive and connecting rod. In this modified arrangement the handle is connected directly to the screw.
FIG. 4 shows the cushion for lifting the patient, and
FIG. 5 shows a dilferent embodiment of the invention.
The patient lift comprises a tubular stand I mounted on a bed 4 by special mounting members 2 and 3. The mounting member 2 at the upper bed beam is rotatable, thus rendering the lift adjustable to all hospital beds.
' United States Patent 0 The mounting member 3 is a cramp iron to be tightened by a wing nut. Within the said tubular stand a pivoting arm 5 made of a tube bent to approximately a right angle can be moved upwards and downwards. The said pivoting arm carries at its free end a suspension device 6 to be used for a cushion 7 which is provided with suspension yokes and/or rods with fastening eyes for lifting cables. A running nut 8 attached to the opposite end of the said pivoting arm 5 can be moved on a screw 9 inserted in the arm. The said screw can be turned by a crank 10 or the like. Between the crank and the screw a gear means may be provided, for example a worm gear 11. In order to facilitate the operation of the pivoting arm, the arm is provided with a handle 12 suspended adjacent to the suspension device. The said crank 10 can be made easier accessible by providing it with a long connecting rod 13.
In FIG. 1 the lift is shown mounted on a patient bed. In certain cases, however, it may be more suitable to mount the lift in the ceiling above the bed or an operating table. In such a case the housing for the Worm gear 11 is secured to the ceiling and constitutes the stand for the lift.
The lift cushion is preferably made of a strong fabric. To the side of the cushion there are rods 14 with handles 15. The lifting cables of the lift can be hooked on the handles 15, for example when the patient is to be moved from an ambulance stretcher to a stretcher carriage, for example in case of an accident.
A patient to be moved from a bed to a stretcher carriage is first placed on the stretcher or platform which is introduced below the patient. The cushion is fastened in suspending cables whereafter the patient is wound up and swung over to the stretcher carriage placed to the side of the bed. The stretcher or platform is loosened from the cables, and the patient is rolled, for example, to an operation table. Adjacent to the operation table a same lift is provided which, however, may have fastening means of a somewhat different type. The said lift, for example, may be secured in a tube cast in the floor or on a plate with an expanding bolt. The stretcher or platform can be hooked into the suspending arm of the operation lift whereafter the patient is swung over to the operation table. For moving the patient back to the bed, the procedure is repeated in a corresponding manner. According to the conventional method, a patient must be lifted four times by at least three nurses for every lift. With the lifting arrangement according to the invention, the procedure can be carried out by one nurse alone. The lift may also be mounted on a stand running on wheels for easily moving the lift. The stand is provided with means adapted for fastening the stand on the cross-beams of a bed. The said fastening means may be hooks 2' for the upper bed beam, and a cramp iron 3' with wing nut for the lower beam, see FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 shows a different embodiment particularly intended to be mounted in the ceiling in a place where there is need of a long horizontal lifting arm, for example in bathrooms or wards where it is desirable to reach two beds at the same time. The lift is secured in the ceiling by a plate 16 from which a rod 17 projects downwards. About the rod a tube 18 is mounted which at its lower end supports the arm 5 which is vertically pivoted at the hinge 19. The arm is swung upwards and downwards in relation to the tube 18 by means of the worm gear 11, the running nut 8 and the screw 9. The said screw is secured at the worm gear 11, and the worm gear is articulated at the tube 18. The running nut 8 is mounted in the arm 5' via the link 21 and the hinge 22. The arm 5' and the tube 18 with the worm gear 11 can be turned by the rod 17. The tube 18 rests with its lower end on a 3 support plate 20 fastened at the lower end of the rod 17.
The patient lift with the stretcher or platform can be designed in different Ways within the scope of the following claims. The stretcher or platform may consist of one or several pieces, and the control means may be designed in a way different of that exemplified above. The crank may be replaced by a motor which possibly can be operated by the patient with the help of push-buttons.
What I claim is:
1. A lifting apparatus for invalids comprising, a stand mounted on a separate foundation, an arm mounted at one end of said stand for movement about a vertical axis and a screw jack mechanism for raising and lowering the free end portion of the arm relative to the stand, said free end portion being provided with a suspension device for connection to a platform for supporting an invalid positioned thereon, said screw jack mechanism comprising a nut mounted on a screw, means for rotating said screw, and a gear operatively positioned between said means for rotating said screw and said screw.
