Patent number: 11654063Abstract: A method for turning and positioning a patient includes placing a sheet under the patient, the sheet including a top surface, a bottom surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first strap coupled proximate to the first lateral side, and a second strap coupled proximate to the second lateral side, and providing a pulling force to the first strap and the second strap, wherein the pulling force to the first strap and the pulling force to the second strap are in opposing directions across the patient. The pulling force to the first strap is greater than the pulling force to the second strap whereby the pulling force to the first handle causes movement of the patient in the direction of the pulling force to move the patient from a first position to a second position, and the pulling force to the second handle is a resistance force.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Sage Products, LLCInventors: Hester C. Fletcher, Daniel Robert Ulreich, Curtis L. Hollabaugh, Paul M. Fowler, Gregory T. Davis

Patent number: 10905608Abstract: A method for turning and positioning a patient includes placing a sheet under a patient, the sheet comprising a first portion having a first handle and a second portion having a second handle. The first portion is placed under the patient and the second portion is a free portion. The method further includes providing a pulling force to the first and second handles, wherein the pulling force to the first handle and the second handle are in opposing directions across the patient. The pulling force to the first handle is greater than the pulling force to the second handle whereby the pulling force to the first handle causes movement of the patient in the direction of the pulling force and the pulling force to the second handle is a resistance force. The first handle and the second handle are longitudinally offset.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Sage Products, LLCInventors: Hester C. Fletcher, Daniel Robert Ulreich, Curtis L. Hollabaugh, Paul M. Fowler, Gregory T. Davis

Patent number: 10588800Abstract: An apparatus for turning and positioning a patient includes a sheet having a top and a bottom surface, a first handle coupled to the sheet proximate a first side edge, and a second handle coupled to the sheet proximate a second side edge, opposite the first side edge. A first portion of the sheet is configured to be placed underneath a patient and a second portion of the sheet is configured to be wrapped on top of the patient. The first handle and the second handle are longitudinally offset such that when the first handle and the second handle are pulled across one another, the first side edge is positioned beneath the second handle and the second side edge is positioned beneath the first handle. Pulling the first handle across the second handle and across the top of the patient rolls the patient onto the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Sage Products, LLCInventors: Hester C. Fletcher, Daniel Robert Ulreich, Curtis L. Hollabaugh, Paul M. Fowler, Gregory T. Davis
