Abstract: |
The present invention relates to a seat at patient-lifting devices, said seat comprising a carrier frame (6) mounted on a hoisting gear (2) and support means (9, 10) extending between outwardly directed carrier frame portions (7, 8). Since the seats at patient-lifting devices often become very dirty, they need to be cleaned in special cleaning devices, so called decontamination devices. However, the present seats are not suitable for cleaning in cleaning devices of this type and time-consuming measurements are required to loosen and reengage the seats. In order to eliminate said problems and provide a seat that may be cleaned in especially efficient cleaning devices and further may be quickly and safely disconnected and connected in a simple manner the seat according to the invention is characterized by the features that the carrier frame (6) comprises two separate sitting means (12 and 13) spaced from each other to provide a seat with an opening (27) therein, whereby each sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) and/or the carrier frame (6) has a coupling device (14 and 15 respectively) adapted to permit fixing of the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) above the support means (9 and 10 respectively) by moving the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) into engagement with the carrier frame (6) and whereby each sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) and/or carrier frame (6) has a position indicator (15, 16 and 17, 18 respectively) arranged such that any one from above may determine whether the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) is in fixed position (A and B respectively) above the support means (9 and 10 respectively).

What I claim is:
1. A seat for a patient-lifting device, the seat comprising a carrier frame (6) mounted on a hoisting gear (2) and having support means (9 and 10) running between outwardly extending carrier frame portions (7 and 8), said carrier frame (6) comprising two separate sitting means (12 and 13) spaced from each other to provide a seat with an opening (27) therein, whereby each sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) and/or the carrier frame (6) has a coupling device (14 and 15 respectively) adapted to permit fixing of the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) above the support means (9 and 10 respectively) by moving the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) into engagement with the carrier frame (6) and whereby each sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) and/or the carrier frame (6) has a position indicator (15, 16 and 17, 18 respectively) arranged such that any one from above may determine whether the sitting means (12 and 13 respectively) is in-fixed position (A and B respectively) above the support means (9 and 10 respectively).
