Abstract: A system using a motor, and a rolling tube or rod of sufficient strength to apply a pull force on one side of a sheet on the bed with the patient lying on the sheet to help pull up the patient on his bed or turn patients on his side, to make the patient comfortable. A slide-sheet used for pull-up has a slidable underside to reduce the friction. The sheets used comprise a plurality of loops on the sides to connect to pull straps. The loops to which the pull straps are connected are chosen to apply equal force to pull or turn the patient on the sheet. Patients having mobility issues have to be routinely pulled up or turned on their sides to make them comfortable and avoid formation of bed sores. The mechanized system disclosed enables a single care giver to handle these operations.

Abstract: An operating mechanism for a sliding support of a cooking appliance having a cooking chamber which is closable by a cooking chamber door, the operating mechanism including: an overload protection device configured to protect the operating mechanism from being damaged by improper use of the cooking chamber door and/or of the sliding support, the overload protection device having a slip coupling having a first contact surface and a second contact surface which, in non-overload conditions, is force-transmittingly connected to the first contact surface, each contact surface including at least one of a friction surface and an interlocking engagement surface. The operating mechanism automatically operates the sliding support. A contact force between the first contact surface and the second contact surface is manually adjustable using an adjusting element of the overload protection device without any need to remove the operating mechanism from a remainder of the cooking appliance.

Abstract: Methods using a motor, and a rolling tube or rod of sufficient strength to apply a pull force on one side of a sheet on the bed with the patient lying on the sheet to help pull up the patient on his bed or turn patients on his side with little manual effort. Patients having mobility issues under care in homes, nursing-homes or hospitals have to be regularly pulled up and turned on their sides to make them comfortable and to avoid formation of bed sores among other reasons. Currently this is done manually by nurses or caregivers. These simple but strenuous operation has been the cause of back problems for many caregivers. The current method is a way to reduce or eliminate this cause of injury to caregivers by providing a mechanized help for the operations.

Abstract: A pulling mechanism using a motor, and a rolling tube or rod of sufficient strength to pull a patient lying on a sheet on the bed is provided to move patients up the bed with little manual effort. In most hospitals and care facilities a common problem is that patients tend to slip down the beds causing discomfort for the patient. Patients have to be moved-up to comfortable position on the bed. Currently this is done manually by two nursing staff one on either side of the bed, with the patient on a slide sheet and pulling the patient manually up using the slide sheet. This simple but strenuous operation has been the cause of back problems for many nursing staff. The current invention is a way to reduce or eliminate this injury to nursing staff by mechanizing the pull-up operation.

Patients having mobility issues under care in homes, nursing-homes or hospitals have to be turned on their sides often to reduce formation of bed sores among other reasons. Currently this is done manually by nurses or caregivers turning the patient by pulling up on one side of the sheet to turn the patient on his side. This simple but strenuous operation has been the cause of back problems for many caregivers.

Abstract: A household appliance or commercial appliance includes a housing surrounding an interior and a support device removable from the interior and a rail system with at least two rails connected to one another and movable relative to one another, and a support element. When the support device is in an installed state, the rail system is mounted on the housing such that the support element is movable relative to the housing by pulling out the rail system. A locking unit arranged on the support device has at least one locking element that can be transferred between a blocking state and a free state. When the support device is in its removed state physically separated from the housing, the locking unit blocks the rail system from being pulled out. When the support device is in its installed state, the locking element allows the rail system to be pulled out.

Abstract: A method for making and using automated non-contact measurements of the customer's body or limb structure, for applications is disclosed. Typical applications are manufacture of garments, including men's suits, pants, shirts and ladies dresses, pant-suits etc. The method of measurements can also be used for ergonomically designing products suitable for individuals, like car seats for high-end cars, office furniture, taking the correct dimensions of the individual for whom the design is being made. This type of measurements can be used for making wheel chairs and other similar items for the handicapped. It is also modifiable for making measurements of limbs (hands and legs) and body parts to fit prosthetics for the handicapped.
