@a QM ATTORNEY or the other oi tine hears be raised independently ci the other. by connecting ,the clutch ifi, the beam be raised horiaon tally from either end of the trame by mereiy applying a cranls to one or another oi the shafts se. To permit a patientto rest with ease or without being subjected te unnecessary shock. or vibration while transpo ted, springs Mib may be interposed between the nuts it and the ends lila of the beam The beam, as alreadystatecl, is a lifting beam and carries a plurality of hangers le which are square in cross section to prevent swinging movement about the beam, but they are slidable longitudinally of the be. .Each hanger carries a pair of supporting arms le pivoted to the hanger as at il. The arms normally assume the dotted line position shown at No, see Fig. 4, but they may be swung downwardly andy inwardiy as shown in full lines in Fig. 4.
The shape of the arms is clearly disclosed in Fig. 2. That is, they are channel-shaped at their upper ends to provide 'strength and they are gradually flattened and rounded at their lower ends so that they may be readily pushed in under or inserted between the patient -and the mattress upon which he or she is lying so as to be in a position to support a person when the beam B is lifted. The arms, as already stated, normally assume the dotted line position shown at l6a as springs ib are interposed between the hanger and each arm to normally maintain them ln a sufiiciently spread position to clear the patient when they are lowered to pick up the patient. A pocketle is formed at the lower end of each arm, and these may be lled with warm water, or a hot water bag or an electric heating pad or the like may be inserted in the pockets to heat or warm the arms prior to use.
In actual practice, if it Yis desired to remove a' patient from his or her bed, the frame is placed in a position straddling the bed lengthwise, as
shown in Fig. l. When the frame is first brought into position, the supporting arms I8 will assume their spread position. Each arm is then inserted in under the patient orbetween the patient and the mattress, and when inserted are locked one by one by pins ld which are inserted at the saine time through the hangers and the inner upper ends of the arms to lock them and secure them against pivotal movement, thiis preventing accidental spreading tient is being lifted and wnile supported by the arms. In this position, the beam B and hangers supporting the patient are elevated and the frame may be swung clear of the vbed and may be shoved or pulled from room to room. By this construction and arrangementof parts, it becomes possible for a single person or attendant to pick up a patient and transport the patient from room to room, as when the frame straddles the bed and the beam and arms are lowered to pick up the patient, the nurse will first stand on one side of the bed and insert one arm after the other under that side of the patient and lock them and can then step around to the other side of the bed and insert the arms on that side and iock them, and then either apply a hand crank or power to one or more of the shafts 8a and elevate the patient with relation to the bed, after which the frame carrying the patient may be readily shoved or pulled wherever desired.
When the patient is to be released, for inwards, the inward movement i and vertically movable in the frame, means of the arms while the pa-` afi-eases stance to be placed upon an operating table or another bed, the frame Ei is lowered until the patient rests on the bed and tne arms ie are then removed one by one. The entire operation of raising and. lowering the patient and transferring the patient from place to place is thus simply andreadily accomplished and without any exertion onthe part oi the nurses or attendants, and, furthermore, without shock, vi bration or inconvenience to the patient.
The supporting arms it are, as previously stated, pivoted at il, and as springs are inter-s posed between the arms and the hangers, the arms will normally assume a spread position, but their inward movement will be limited as the ends ite of the arms will engage extensions iia of the hangers and thereby` prevent any squeezing or application of pressure to the patient when supported by the arms. In other limited by the extensions lea and ite. The arms are arranged in pairs wherever the body is to be supported, but a single arm will suffice for the head, and this arm is indicated at i9.
While this and other features of the present invention have been more or less specifically described and illustrated, I wish it understood that various changes may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims, and similarly, that the materials and finish of the several parts employed may be such as the manufacturer may decide or varying conditions or uses may demand.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire tesecure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a lifting device cf the character described an elongated frame, a lifting beam guided and vertically movable in the frame, a plurality of hangers movable longitudinaiiy of the beam, a pair of arcuate supporting arms independently pivoted to each hanger, a spring interposed between each ariril and hanger to normally maintain the arms spread apart, means for limiting the movement of the arms towards each other, and a resilient support for each end of the beam.
2. In a lifting device of the character described an elongated frame, a lifting beam guided for lifting both or either end of the beam to cause it to assume a horizontai or an angular position within the frame, a plurality of hangers. on the beam, a pair of arcuate supporting arms independently pivoted to each hanger, a spring interposed b-etween each arm and hanger to normally maintain the arms spread apart and in a raised position, means for limiting the movement of the arms towards each other, and a resilient support for each end of the lifting beam.
3. In a lifting device of the character described, having a main frame and a lifting beam guided and vertically movableE therein, a plurality of hangers on the lifting beam, a pair of arcuate supporting arms independently pivoted and movable on each hanger, a spring interposed between each arm and hanger and normally maintaining each arm in a raised position and spread apart. said pivots and springs permitting each arm to be independentiy swung from a raised to a lowered position, and means for locking each arm against pivoting movement when swung to a lowered position.
