Abstract
Aid apparatus for raising a disable person from a sitting position to a standing position including a wheeled base (1) in the form of a U-shaped frame with a post (3), which supports a lifting arm arrangement (5, 7), to which can be attached a lifting sling (9), which surrounds at least partly the body of the person. The object is now to avoid that the person will be lifted in his armpits and also to make the lifting motion stable. The lifting arm arrangement (5, 7) therefore includes two arms (7), the free ends of which have a hook (8), in which a belt (9) having four bands (10, 11, 16, 17) can be hooked on in such a way that the belt surrounds the person overlapped just under breast-high.
