An assistance mechanism includes a base, a rotatable link, a lifting unit and a power unit which provides power to the lifting unit so that the lifting unit drives the rotatable link. A seat is connected to the rotatable link so that when the rotatable link is activated, the user sitting on the seat is transformed from a sit status into a stand status. This effectively assists the user who does not have sufficient muscle forces to stand up by the assistance mechanism.

Assistance mechanism for assisting patients to stand up

A powered patient lift device includes a main frame having a beam and a wheel chassis. The top of the beam is pivotally connected with a lifting arm. One end of the lifting arm is provided with a seat. A power unit is adapted to drive a lifting unit which then links the lifting arm to move. A control unit is to activate the power unit. A knee support is disposed at a lower section of the beam. The knee support is provided with a knee pad to engage with a user's knee. When the lifting unit is activated, the lifting arm is linked to move the supporting unit to assist the user to stand up or to sit down.
