Various embodiments include a system that provides assisted access to a pool. The system includes a platform that includes a frame, a deck, and one or more handrails. The deck is attached to the frame and sized to receive a wheelchair. The one or more handrails are attached to at least one of the frame and the deck. The system includes an upright lifting component case. The frame of the platform is substantially perpendicular to the upright lifting component case. The system includes lifting components that are at least partially disposed in the upright lifting component case and attached to the platform. The lifting components are operable to vertically move the frame between a top and a bottom of the upright lifting component case. The system includes an electrical power source operable to provide electrical power to at least a portion of the lifting components.

A lifting column includes first and second lifting column components, one slidably receivable in the other, each having mutually facing guide surfaces. The first lifting column component has first and second openings in its guide surface, and first and second guide components mounted in these openings. Each of the guide components includes an attachment structure that projects into one of the first and second openings and a substantially planar guide section connected to the attachment structure that overlies a guide surface of the first lifting component and that is configured to abut on the guide surface of the second lifting column component. The first and second guide components are configured such that they are in contact with each other when the attachment structures are mounted the openings.

A passenger lift for loading a passenger to and from an elevated access opening features a wheeled frame, a first parallelogram linkage coupled to the frame proximate a first end thereof and a second parallelogram linkage pivotally coupled to an output link of the first linkage. A passenger platform is pivotally carried on the output link of the second linkage. Through pivoting of the linkages by respective actuators, the passenger platform is movable between a lowered position adjacent a second end of the frame, and raised positions in which the platform is situated nearer the first end of the frame. The frame is open at the first end to define a gap between side members of the frame to accommodate a lower end of a staircase for accessing the elevated access opening. The platform thus forms an approach to the staircase when the platform is in the lowered position.

A sliding seat, being manufactured either together with a wheelchair as a component or separately as an accessory to a used wheelchair and aiming at helping a wheelchair occupant enter into or exit from a motor vehicle, comprises a supporting rack, a siding cushion, and an extender. The supporting rack has a top-board, a bottom frame, and a hoisting device in between. On the upward surface of the top-board, there are two crosswise sliding rulers. The sliding cushion has a soft cushion top and a solid baseboard which has two sliding sleeves on its downward surface to sheathe the sliding rulers of the top-board of the supporting rack. The extender also has two crosswise sliding rulers, which can connect with or disconnect from the sliding rulers of the top-board of the supporting rack. When being connected, the extender extends the two elongated sliding rulers into an open-door motor vehicle and lays them on the vehicle seat. Then, on the elongated sliding rulers, the sliding cushion and the wheelchair occupant on it can slide from the supporting rack into the vehicle and sit on the vehicle seat, or from the vehicle seat back onto the supporting rack.

A portable wheel chair lift device includes a lift car, a support base, and a lifting mechanism coupled thereto to selectively raise or lower the lift car while allowing the floor of the lift car to be fully-lowered to the ground surface. A scissors-like brace selectively locks the front door of the lift car to the support base when the lift car is elevated. The lift car floor can be folded and collapsed to a reduced width allowing transport through narrow. Transport casters are removably mounted to the bottom of the lift car to facilitate transport. The lift device includes a height adjustment control within the lift car to repeatably raise the lift car to the height of a stage.
摘要:
A wheelchair lift for use in conjunction with a vehicle having a floor. The lift includes a power-actuating system, a platform assembly having first and second platform sections, a linking assembly having first and second vertical arms connected to the platform assembly, and first and second fold-facilitating links connecting the first and second vertical arms, respectively, to the first and second platform sections. The linking assembly connects the power-actuating system to the platform assembly. During a folding process, the first and second fold-facilitating links cause the first platform section to pivot with respect to the second platform section and the first vertical arm to move with respect to the second vertical arm.
摘要:
A bridging device (10) for providing a bridging surface (12) between two points comprising a stack of interjoined beams (14) housed in a retracted position in a housing (11) mounted at a first point; and a drive system that drives the beams (14) to slide one over the other to telescopically extend out of the housing (11) from the retracted position to an extended position to thereby form a bridging surface (12) to a second point.
