Abstract: A reclinable wheelchair which operates in conjunction with a compatibly equipped bed to transport a prone person between the bed and the reclined wheelchair alongside the bed. The back rest can be raised and the leg rest of the wheelchair can be lowered to place the person in a sitting position. Provisions are included for use with a toilet.
Abstract: An arrangement for transferring a prone patient longitudinally or laterally between beds or surfaces adapted to accept the patient in prone position. The rate of transfer of the patient can be made variable or fixed. The arrangement is adapted to function with a conventional bed normally used in a home, or with a hospital-type bed. During times when the patient is not being transferred, the arrangement may allow the mattress to be raised under the patient's head and back or under the patient's knees and legs.
