| |||||||||||||

Page 2: | |
| 18 | Although I have described the apparatus as used in a room containing a number of beds for invalids, as in hospitals, it is of equal utility in an ordinary chamber containing a single bed, adjacent to which the apparatus may be readily arranged in the proper position. | |
| 19 | Without further description it will be evident that the apparatus not only affords to the nurses every facility for removing patients, but that it is a source of comfort to the patients themselves. | |
| 20 | I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent -- | |
| 21 | The frame I, with its bands or straps, in combination with the traversing platform and the system of raising and lowering cords herein described, or their equivalents, for the purpose specified. | |
| 22 | In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. | |
