Can Anyone Sharing Some Idea to me?

10/27/2010 9:46 AM

hello,I am trying to add some linkage bar or gear mechanism to a wheelchair which can use to rise or lift the patient to the half standing position. This is to help the patient to stand up from a wheelchair by himself witount using motor or any circuit. To rise the body weight by using hand force is it possible? Can any one provide me the draft of that mechanism design?

Thanks a lot...i am just a mechanical learner or begineer, hoping people may share their idea to me..thanks

There are such products already on the market. Perhaps you can simply buy one? Or at least look at / read how they work online and make your own if necessary.

Here's a few quick links from Google. (As always, I don't endorse or have a connection to these companies - it pays to do your own research).
