       OBJECT 
       [0023]    The object of this invention is to provide a wheel chair lifting device to accommodate different sizes of wheel chairs to be used in medical, dental and hair saloon facilities, among others, that permits to take care of handicapped persons in their own wheelchairs preventing discomfort while saving time and effort. 
       DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0024]    One embodiment of present invention is illustrated in  FIGS. 1 to 4  showing a structure of rigid body of material shaped to accommodate multiple sizes of wheel chairs and designated with numeral  32 , said structure includes horizontal supports  10 , guard rails  12 , multiple orifices  18  to receive retaining pin  20  which passing thru wheel stop  16  secures wheel in place preventing any unwanted wheel rotation during lifting or lowering operation. 
         [0025]    Further said structure  32  comprises means of attachment of lifting device  26  at a predetermined location. 
         [0026]    Furthermore structure  32  comprises means of attachments for adjust able back rest  24  and head rest  22  at predetermined locations. 
         [0027]    Operation: 
         [0028]    The manner of using present invention is to lower structure  32  in to its lowermost position and in contact with floor level  28  as in  FIG. 3 , wheel chair  30  and its occupant are wheeled in to said structure thru wheels horizontal supports  10  in a backward motion as to stop against rear stop  14  as in  FIG. 2 , at this point wheel stop  16  is installed in both wheels and securely retained thru retaining pin  20 , lastly desired height may be attained by operating lifting device  26 . 
         [0029]    Advantages 
         [0030]    From the above description and accompanying drawings a number of advantages are present by the proper use of this indention;
