Abstract: A stand-up bedside hoisting apparatus includes a base; three legs fixedly connected an inner ends to the base to stably support the entire hoisting apparatus; a pivoted-arm mechanism including a lower rotary shaft that is rotatable relative to the base within a safe angular range, and an upper suspension arm that can be turned up and down relative to the rotary shaft; and a hanger pivotally connected to a front end of the suspension arm for holding a hoisting carriage to carry and move a patient. The hoisting apparatus may be easily and conveniently erected to stand up at one side of a sickbed without the need of being fixedly mounted to a wall or floor, and could therefore be moved for use at any place as necessary.

Abstract: A hoisting apparatus capable of standing alone and allowing erection by consumers is provided for use beside a bed and/or a bathtub to hoisting a patient. When the hoisting apparatus is designed for use at a patient's bedside, it includes three legs arranged in the form of a letter T. And, when the hoisting apparatus is designed for use beside a bathtub, it includes at a lower end two legs arranged in the form of a letter L, and at a higher position a rest mechanism for resting on a top of the bathtub. The two lower legs and the higher rest mechanism also provide a T-shaped support to the hoisting apparatus. The hoisting apparatus also includes a pivoted-arm mechanism capable of turning sideward as well as upward and downward, and a hanger pivotally connected to a front end of the pivoted-arm mechanism.

Abstract: A power-actuated chair-type elevating apparatus for moving a user to a desired position includes a slidable base having an upright lower tube-extended from a top thereof, a table having a downward extended upper tube axially movably covering the lower tube, an elevating mechanism mounted in the upper and lower tubes to elevate or lower the table relative to the base, and a seat pivotally supported on two bent tubes and three links. The bent tubes are fixedly connected at another end to the upper tube. The three links are coaxially and pivotally connected at a first end to one another, and pivotally connected at a second end to the seat, the base, and the upper tube, respectively. When the table is elevated, the seat is also elevated and forward inclined for the user sit thereon to lean against the table without the risk of falling off the seat.

Abstract: A computer monitor support includes a first support immovably connected to a lower side of a desktop, and a second support pivotally connected to the first support via an upper and a lower link to movably located in front of the first support for supporting a computer monitor thereon. The first and the second support, and the upper and the lower link together form a four-bar linkage. A lifting mechanism is connected to the four-bar linkage to lift or lower the second support and to incline the second support downward or upward, respectively, at the same time, so that any user may set the computer monitor on the second support to a vertical position and an angle of elevation most suitable for the user to look at a display on the monitor comfortably and clearly.

Abstract: An elevating mechanism for assisting patient in using a toilet alone includes a base having a left and a right side frame, on which four links and an extension arm are symmetrically provided. When the two symmetrical extension arms are actuated, the four links on both side frames are lifted to ascend a seat and two armrests, so that an aged or a patient sat on the seat is lifted to an almost upstanding position without the need of supporting his or her weight completely on two weak legs.
