Patent number: 11648163Abstract: A sling for supporting a subject such as a patient includes a panel assembly including a left flank with a left end, a right flank with a right end, and an interflank panel. The interflank panel has a left extremity permanently joined to the left end of the left flank and a right extremity permanently joined to the right end of the right flank. The sling also includes a left closure element and a right closure element which are securable to each other and releasable from each other to adjust an effective dimension of the sling. In another embodiment, the sling includes a frangible closure member which secures the left flank to the right flank.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Liko Research & Development ABInventors: Karin Olsson, Roger Karlsson, Neal Wiggermann, John Christie, Elin Dovervik, Jean-Bernard Duvert, Johan Lyckestig, Clementine Pirio

Patent number: 10772777Abstract: A linkage assembly that connects a sling bar to a person lift apparatus includes a link body that connects to the person lift apparatus. The link body has a keyed slot extending therethrough. The keyed slot has a region of reduced dimension. An interlocking member connects to the sling bar. The interlocking member has an interlocking portion that is sized to be slidably received in the keyed slot. The interlocking portion has a region of reduced dimension such that, in an interlocked orientation, the region of reduced dimension of the interlocking portion is offset from the region of reduced dimension of the keyed slot thereby inhibiting removal of the interlocking member from the keyed slot and, in a release orientation, the region of reduced dimension of the interlocking portion is aligned with the region of reduced dimension of the keyed slot thereby allowing removal of the interlocking member from the keyed slot to disconnect the sling bar from the person lift apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2018Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Liko Research & Development ABInventors: Johan Lyckestig, Karin L. Olsson, Ronnie Arespong

Publication number: 20190008711Abstract: A slingbar assembly for supporting a patient includes at least a first slingbar. The first slingbar includes a load bearing frame, at least two spanwisely fixed spacers attached to the frame on opposite sides of a centerplane, and a hub attached to the frame spanwisely between two of the spacers. The slingbar assembly also includes a a strap assembly engaged with the hub. The hub is operable to increase or decrease a working length of the strap assembly. Another embodiment of the slingbar assembly includes a second slingbar substantially the same as the first slingbar, and a connector extending longitudinally between and connected to the slingbars. The connector includes an attachment fixture selectively positionable along the length of the connector so that when the slingbar assembly is supported by a support structure the position of a patient's center of gravity relative to the slingbar assembly can be adjusted.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2017Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Roger Karlsson, John D. Christie, Jean-Bernard Duvert, Johan Lyckestig, Karin Olsson, Neal Wiggermann
