  • Publication number: 20230407703
    Abstract: An automated system for raising and lowering a person to various desired levels enables the person to more comfortably and safely perform activities and tasks that require them to be at an elevated position relative to floor or ground surface. This system can comprise a lift platform attached to a series of vertical rails. The lift platform moves vertically along the rails, a user elevates to a desired position or height to perform the intended task. This system enables the user to determine their exact position instead of being at predetermined heights from using conventional devices such as ladders or stools. Once on the lift platform, a user can further secure themselves to the lift platform with a brace attached to the vertical rails. This brace would fit around the user's back and side straps would secure the brace to the vertical rails of the system.
