Abstract: An improved patient lifting apparatus comprising a base frame and a vertically disposed pulley system extending upwardly from the base frame. A patient support platform extends from the primary spine column to support the patient and is raised or lowered to different levels by engaging the crank to operate the pulley system.

Abstract: The basement wall recovery system method and apparatus of this invention includes push plate(s), pulling post(s), pulling rod(s), backing plate(s) and a method to apply a pulling force on the pulling rods. The earth is excavated from the wall to be repaired. Based upon the length of the wall, a number of pulling posts are vertically positioned at spaced intervals along the wall. The lower end of the pulling posts generally rest upon the footing of the building. The top of each of the pulling posts rest up against an outer surface of one or two push plates. The push plates are horizontally positioned against the buildings outside wall near the bottom of the wall where it contacts the top of the basement wall to be repaired and generally aligned with the buildings floor joists. The pulling rods are inserted through openings in the pulling posts and through holes bored in the basement wall.
