A mobile support device for a handicapped person and rollable on a reaction surface, the mobile support device comprises first and second longitudinally extending frame sections oriented in spaced relationship. A back support portion extends transversely between and is coupled with the first and second frame sections. A seat portion extends transversely between and is secured to the first and second frame sections. A wheel assembly is mounted on the frame sections so as to engage the reaction surface. The wheel assembly includes a pair of front caster wheels, a pair of rear caster wheels and a pair of central wheels. Each of the central wheels has a fixed transverse axis of rotation and is positioned intermediate the front and rear caster wheels to inhibit transverse motion. Each of the frame section carries one of the front caster wheels, one of the central wheels and one of the rear caster wheels. Each of the wheels has a lowermost tangent lying in a common plane. The wheel assembly constitutes means to inhibit rocking of the mobile support device about the central wheels so that contact between all of the wheels with the reaction surface is maintained. The frame sections are arranged so that unrestricted access is provided for the handicapped person to the seat portion and the back support portion. The frame sections, the seat portion and the back support portion are further arranged to permit the feet of the handicapped person to reach the reaction surface to propel the mobility support device. The mobility support device further comprises a braking means for braking at least one wheel on each of the frame sections.

Mobility support device

A safety support structure is provided which comprises a post with upper and lower ends adapted to abut firmly against a ceiling surface and a floor surface, and an accessory mounting region disposed between the upper end and the lower end. The post has a length adjustment means and a pressure indicating means to indicate whether the pressure on the structure, when positioned between a floor surface and ceiling surface, lies inside or outside a predetermined range so as to avoid inflicting damage on the floor or ceiling and to inhibit slippage of the post. The accessory mounting region carries mounting formations, to cooperate with laterally extending support accessories clamped to it and positively to resist axial and/or rotational displacement of the support accessories relative to the post.

Safety support structure

A mobile support device for a handicapped person and rollable on a reaction surface, the mobile support device comprising first and second substantially parallel planar frame sections oriented in spaced relationship to define a region therebetween, the lower portion of said frame sections defining a base, a back support portion spanning the region and coupled with the first and second frame portions, a seat spanning the region with at least a front portion thereof pivotable relative to the first and second frame portions and a wheel assembly mounted on the base so as to engage the reaction surface.

Wheelchair

An apparatus for lifting an invalid from a wheelchair to a bed or vice versa, which can be operated by the invalid himself. A generally rectangular, vertical frame is arranged adjacent the invalids' chest. The frame carries a motorized winch drum, battery pack, gearbox and fingertip controls therefor. A six point suspension heavy canvas sling is designed to be mounted at the four respective corners of the frame, to provide a seat and back support for the invalid.
