Abstract
A disabled transferring device comprises a stationary base and a rotary base coupled with the stationary base for forming a base assembly. An actuation lever assembly which has an actuation lever having a pivot point in the vicinity of one end and an actuation point at the other end, is pivotally supported on the rotary base of the base assembly. A pivotal support shaft is secured onto the level in the vicinity of the pivot point in such an arrangement that the securing point of the pivotal support shaft is oriented at the pivot point or between the one end and the pivot point with a first distance to the pivot point of the lever. The first distance is much shorted than a second distance between the pivot point and the actuation point. A saddle to mount thereon the disabled is mounted on the top end of the support shaft. The support shaft is pivotable between a tilted position with the saddle for placing the saddle on the chest or brest of the disabled and the vertical position at which the angular displacement of the shaft and saddle is caused to the angular position where the chair, bed, vehicular seat or so forth to transfer the disabled is oriented.
