  • Patient lifting device
    Patent number: 9089464
    Abstract: An inclined lift for patient transfer is designed to allow a patient to be pulled on an inclined ramp which is subsequently movable to a raised generally horizontal position. IN the raised generally horizontal position a patient may be transferred to a chair or to a further horizontal structure such as a bed. In a preferred embodiment the inclined lift includes a patient slide mat that is movable onto the ramp by a retraction mechanism. The patient sits or lies on the mat and a winch type mechanism pulls the mat onto the inclined ramp. There is no requirement for a patient harness to directly pull the patient onto the inclined ramp.

  • Method apparatus for separating unwanted matter from granular material
    Patent number: 6712216
    Abstract: In a method of separating unwanted fine matter from heavier granular matter a flow of the material is produced under vacuum firstly through alternating expansion and contraction passages and then against impact surfaces to cause multiple redirections of the material and separation of the heavier granular material from the material flow.
