Abstract
The patient lifting device is a therapeutic device for use with a caregiver and a patient. The patient lifting device increases the mobility of the patient by transferring a portion of the load of the patient to the caregiver. The patient lifting device includes a first non-euclidean supporting structure, a second non-euclidean supporting structure, and a pivot structure. The pivot structure attaches the second non-euclidean supporting structure to the first non-euclidean supporting structure. The first non-euclidean supporting structure transfers a portion of the load of the patient to the caregiver. The second non-euclidean supporting structure transfers a portion of the load of the patient to the caregiver.
Claims10
A patient lifting device comprising
- a first non-euclidean supporting structure, a second non-euclidean supporting structure, and a pivot structure;
- wherein the pivot structure attaches the second non-euclidean supporting structure to the first non-euclidean supporting structure;
- wherein the first non-euclidean supporting structure and the second non-euclidean supporting structure are each rigid structures;
- wherein the first non-euclidean supporting structure is adapted to hook onto a right shoulder of a patient as well as a right shoulder of a caregiver;
- wherein the second non-euclidean supporting structure is adapted to hook onto a left shoulder of the patient as well as a left shoulder of a caregiver;
- wherein the first non-euclidean supporting structure comprises a first extension structure and a first handle structure;
- wherein the second non-euclidean supporting structure comprises a second extension structure and a second handle structure;
- wherein the first extension structure is adapted to secure the right shoulder of the patient to the right shoulder of the caregiver in order to transfer the load from the right shoulder of the patient to the right shoulder of the caregiver;
- wherein the second extension structure is adapted to secure the left shoulder of the patient to the left shoulder of the caregiver in order to transfers the load from the left shoulder of the patient to the left shoulder of the caregiver.
