. equip the device with anovel form of carrier arranged tobe conveniently adjusted, so as togaccommodate the same to any sore or injured portions of the body of the patient. .l nihis connection it is proposed to have the bottom of the carrier made up of sections which are individually adjustable for convenience in thrusting the same between the mattress and the different portions of the body of the patient without in any 'manner disturbing the latter.
With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of an invalid-lifting device embodying the features of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the carrier. Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of one of the adjustable carrier-sections. Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5 5 of Fig. 4.
Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in'each and every figure of thedrawings.
The present device includes a wheeled truck 1, having a standard rising from one end thereof'and including substantially parallel standard members 2, which have their upper end pdrtions arched over the truck or base to form an arm 3. A cable 4 has one end fixed to the outer end of the arm 3, as shown at 5, from which it depends in the form of a bight and then passes rearwardly and downwardly across antifriction-rollers 6, journaled between the arm and standard members. A Windlass 7 is j ournaled between the standard members and has the free end of the cable wound thereon. One end of the Windlass is provided with a ratchet-disk 8, and there is a pawl 9 mount,- ed upon the standard and engaging the ratchet. A suitable crankhandle 10 is em ployed for rotating the Windlass. A grooved pulley 1 1 is hung in the bight portion 4 of the cable and carries a depending hook 12 which includes a swivel 13 to permit of the bill of the hook turning in a substantially horizontal direction without twisting the pulley 11 in the bight of the cable.
The carrier for the support of the invalid includes parallel side rails 14, preferably in the nature of angle-bars, which are connected at one end by an arched cross-bar 15, having enlarged terminals provided; with substantially L-shaped openings receiving the side rails, there being suitable set-screws 16, piercing the ends of the cross-bar and engaging the side rails to rigidly connect said members. At the opposite end of the carrier there is a cross-bar 17, having upturned terminals 18, loosely pierced by the side rails 1 1 and having set-screws 19 to rigidly connect the rails and the cross-bars. A head-rest 20 is carried by the cross-bar'17 and has its inner end portions resting upon suitable brackets for hangers 21, depending from the rails 14.
The bottom of the carrier is'made up of two series of bottom sectionsv 22, one series beingcarried by each of the side rails 14 and extending substantially half-way across the Width of the carrier. Each bottom section is provided at its outer end with an upstanding hanger 23, rising across the outer side of the adjacent rail and provided with a longitudinal slot 24, which is dovetailed in crosssection, as best indicated in Fig. 5 of the drawings. A bolt or threaded pin-'25 is carried by the rail 14 and projects throughthe slot 24. Upon the outer end of this threaded pin is a wingednut 26, and interposed between the nut and the hanger 23 is a washer 27, having a dovetailed boss 28, slidably engaging the slot 24. The lower edge of the washer is intersected by an upright slot 29,
which leads to the bolt-opening which passes centrally through the washer and boss there of, whereby the washer may be conveniently applied and removed' By loosening the nut 26 the bottom section may be raised and lowered and also tilted upon the bolt 25, as an axis, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. i.
It is designed to suspend the carrier from the hook 12, which is accomplished by means of a hanger including a head 30 having a link or eye 31, detachably engaged by the hook 12.- An arched hangerarm 32 extends between the head 25 and each of the rails 14 at pivotally connected, as at 33.
a point adjacent the foot thereof, where it is Another nanger element extends between the head and the opposite end portion of the same rail and includes an upper arched rod member 34, a lower link 35, pivotally connected to the rail, as at 36, there bein a turnbuckle 37 connecting the adjacent cm s of the members 34 and 35. By adjustment of the turnbuckles 37 the'head end of the carrier may be raised and lowered upon the pivotal suports 33 between the side rails and the anger members 32-.
In practice the several bottom members are removed and the truck or Wheeled base is run beneath the bedstead with the carrier elevated above the body of the patient. The carrier is then lowered by means of the windlass, so as to bring the side rails at opposite sides of the patient, and then the bottom sections 22 are individually thrust between the body of the patient and the mattress of the bed and then secured to the side rails in the desired position. Whenever it is desired to'expose any sore orinjured portion of the body, the adjacent bottom sections may be omitted so as to give convenient ac cess to such portions of the body as may re quire treatment, and the sections may be raised and lowered, so as tofit all portions of the body.
Abracket 38 is carried by the cross-bar 15 and. has a grooved roller 39, over which a weighted cord may be run for convenience in setting broken bones.

A device of the class described comprising a frame having side bars, a series of independent bottom sections carried by each. side bar, a slotted hanger for each bottom section, and fastenings carried by the frame and. passing through the slots of the respective hangers to permit vertical adjustment of the bottom sections.
4. A device of the class described comprising a frame having side and end bars, a series of independent bottom sections carried by each side bar, each bottom section having a slotted hanger, and fastenings passing through the slots of the respective hangers and carried by the side bars for the adjustable support of the bottom sections, each bottom section also being tiltablty adjustable upon its fastening. V
5. A device of the class described comprising a frame having side bars, and a series of independent bottom sections carried by each of the side bars, eachv bottom section having a tiltable adjustment.
6. A device of the class described comprising a frame having side bars, a series of threaded fastenings carried by each side bar, a series of. independent bottom sections for each side bar, each bottom section having a slotted hanger receiving one of the fastenings, a washer working in the slot-and overlapping the outer side of the hanger, and a clamping-nut carried by the fastening and engaging the washer to adjustably clamp the hanger against the side bar.
v7 A device of the class described comprise ing a carrier, suspending means, and a hanger connecting the carrier with the. suspending means, said hanger having a set of arms extending to the head portion of the hanger and another set of arms extending tothe foot portion ofthe carrier, one set of arms includingturnbuckles for tiltably adjusting the carrier upon the other set of arms.
