  • Patent number: 4450991
    Abstract: A chair made of flexible material for facilitating transportation of a disabled person and more particularly a disabled child by a healthy person. The chair comprises a large piece of material forming the seat of the chair on which the disabled person may sit, and a plurality of straps allowing distribution of the weight of the disabled person seated on the chair onto the shoulder and the arms of the person who is transporting him or her when the person is erect. To accomplish this weight distribution, one of the straps of the chair is fixed to the front end of the seat and provided with a loop pile and hook fastener. The first strap is of a sufficient length to surround the thighs of the disabled person and to be fixed around the disabled persons' thighs by a fastener when the disabled person is seated on the chair. This first strap acts as a first handle for lifting and transporting the disabled person.
