Abstract: Brake assembly (18) of a transporting means (20) for a patient handling apparatus (10). The brake assembly (18) is adapted to control movements of a wheel (14a) of at least one rear caster (14) by a brake actuator (18a). The brake actuator (18a) is adapted to be coupled to a caster neck (14c) of said at least one rear caster (14). The caster neck (14c) extends through a lift base (11) of the patient handling apparatus (10) such that the brake actuator (18a) is located on top of the lift base (11) and the wheel (14a) of the rear caster (14) is located below the lift base (11).

Abstract: Present invention relates to a coupling assembly (300, 600) for fluidically connecting an inflatable/deflatable article (120) and a pump (110) in a fluid pressure control system (100) and a fluid pressure control system (100) comprising such a coupling assembly (300, 600). The coupling assembly (300, 600) comprises a position indicating arrangement (380) which comprises a sensing arrangement (320) and a position indicating part (390, 490, 690).

Abstract: Present invention relates to a connector (330) for a coupling assembly (300, 600) for connecting a medical device (120) and a controller device (110) in a medical device control system (100). The controller device (110) is configured to control the operation of the medical device (120), the connector (330) having a connector body (331) being connectable to a connecting member (310) of the coupling assembly for forming a connection. The connector (330) comprises at least one parameter indicating element (390) provided on the connector body (331), said at least one parameter indicating element (390) being adjustable relative the connector body (331) for providing an indication of a use parameter of the medical device control system (100) to a user.

Abstract: A body support sling (100) for supporting a patient from a patient hoist (10). The sling (100) comprises a leg support portion (60) adapted to support the thighs of a patient and a torso support portion (70) adapted to support the torso of a patient. According to an aspect of the invention, the sling (100) comprises a connecting portion (40). The connecting portion (40) comprising a front pair of suspension straps (41, 42) and a rear pair of suspension straps (43, 44) each being adapted to be connected to the patient hoist (10), the front pair of suspension straps (41, 42) being adapted to extend in front of the patient and the rear pair of suspension straps (43, 44) being adapted to extend behind the patient when the sling (100) is worn by the patient. The rear pair of suspension straps (43, 44) are attached to the torso support portion (70) and the front pair of suspension straps (41, 42) are attached to the leg support portion (60).

Abstract: A drive system (100) for a patient lift. The drive system comprises a drum (321) configured to control the vertical movement of a patient support mounting device (11) of the patient lift via a load bearing member (12), at least one motor (270) adapted to drive the drum (321), each motor (270) being connected to an motor shaft gear (227), and a transmission (228) connecting the motor (270) and the drum (321), the transmission (228) being adapted to transfer torque from the motor (270) to the drum (321).

Abstract: A patient handling apparatus (10) comprising a base (30) with a frame (31) and a patient support device (20). The patient handling apparatus (10) further comprises a weighing arrangement (90) for weighing a patient supported by the patient support device (20), said weighing arrangement (90) comprising a sub frame (91) and a plurality of load sensors (95, 96, 97). The sub frame (91) is arranged on the load sensors (95, 96, 97), said load sensors (95, 96, 97) defining a weighing area (S), whereby the patient support device (20) is mounted to the frame (31) such that a central point (C) of a seat support portion (21) of the patient support device (20) is positioned outside the weighting area (S) in at least one position of the patient support device (20).

Abstract: A patient handling apparatus (10) comprising abase (30) with a frame (31) and a patient support device (20), the patient support device (20) being movable relative to the base (30). The patient support device (20) is movably mounted to the frame (31) between an upright and an inclined position, in which the patient support device (20) is inclined backwards or forwards in the inclined position relative to the upright position by means of a guiding arrangement (70). The guiding arrangement (70) comprises at least one frame guiding element (72, 84) mounted to the frame (31) and a support guiding element (71) mounted to the patient support device (20).
