    摘要: A wheelchair is provided that includes a motor-driven laterally extendable platform that can be extended and retracted to assist a user in getting onto and off of the wheelchair. A motor drive system is provided that can be actuated by an actuator. The actuator can be, for example, a wired remote controller or a wireless remote controller. Full actuation can be accomplished by a single triggering motion of the actuator, or the actuator can be configured to require a constant holding of the actuator until a desired position of the platform is reached. Travel limits can be programmed into the motor drive system such that the drive system stops driving extension or retraction of the platform once a travel limit is reached. The wheelchair can also be converted into a recumbent position. Methods of transferring a user onto or off of the wheelchair are also provided.

    摘要: Disclosed is a handling system that makes it possible to place a wheeled sleeping unit, particularly a hospital bed, in a high position for a maintenance operation. The system includes a supporting device that is slidably mounted along a guide assembly and is provided with a receiving assembly that is hinged onto one or more vertical slidable portions of the device that are adjacent to a raising area. A sleeping unit can be placed in the area, above a lifting portion defined by the receiving assembly, and a longitudinal side of the unit can be positioned against an abutment surface of the assembly. The receiving assembly includes a holding element that fits into the top of the unit so as to lock the positioning of the unit in the receiving assembly, which makes it possible to change the orientation of the unit after a raising phase.

    摘要: A transport for material, item or a subject, is described, the transport including a support for the material, item or subject; one or more detachable ground engaging wheels, detachable from the support at a detachable mount; one or more lifts to facilitate lifting the support from ground level to a selected height, the lift being operatively connected to the support and the one or more detachable ground engaging wheels, when the wheels are attached to the support. A collapsible wheel is also described, having a plurality of arcuate segments, each one pivotally connected to adjacent ones at their ends; an adjustable-length flexible spoke connected to opposed or remote ends so that variation of the length of the spoke deploys or stows the collapsible wheel; a spoke length adjuster.
