Abstract
An apparatus for conveying a person lying on a support member includes a main body, a plate member, a guide frame for accommodating therein and causing the plate member to slide therealong toward and away from the person, a loading unit provided on the main body for supporting the plate member rotatably about a shaft, and a controller for controlling the rotation of the plate member. The plate member is controlled by the controller so that it is rotated about the shaft to slide along the guide frame toward the person until a forward end thereof abuts on the person, whereupon the forward end follows the contour of the person and advances into a gap between the person and the support member. Consequently, the person is loaded onto the plate member easily.
