Abstract: A method for moving a disabled person from a sitting position on the edge of a bed to a lying position, includes the steps of inserting a cross bar of the appliance behind the upper legs while the person is sitting upright. Then the disabled person takes hold of the ends of the cross bar after which the cross bar is pushed up at a bow and the upper body is moved backwards at a bow while the person tilts on his or her bottom until his or her feet are at a higher level than the top of the mattress of the bed. Then the person is turned for about a quarter of a turn until his or her legs have come above the bed.

Abstract: A device for turning over a recumbent person has devices that can partly enclose the recumbent person. These devices are formed by a strip and end of which is provided with a handle, and an arm, an end of which is pushed under the recumbent person, and a bent end piece. The arm is hinged via a first end to the strip and the end piece is hinged near the middle with the end of the strip turned away from the handle.

Abstract: A fishing device 1, for automatically hooking a fish, has a spring 23 that can be tautened and held in a taut condition by a blocking device 37. An end of the spring 23 is coupled to a hook 27 behind which a fishing line, coming from a fishing rod, can be hooked. The fishing line also runs over a sensor 47. If a fish bites the fishing line is pulled taut and the sensor 47 lifts the blocking of the spring 23. Thus the spring 23 loosens, and the hook 27 gives a pull to the fishing line and the fish is hooked. During the hooking the fishing line is held in place by a clamping device 53, and after the fish is hooked the fishing line is released. Thus the reel of the fishing rod can continually stay in the slip position to prevent the fishing rod from being pulled into the water by the fish, to facilitate quick catching of the fish without first having to remove the reel from the blocking position.
