Patent ID: 7484252

Claim:
An automatic patient transfer system for loading, unloading, and transporting a patient, comprising: a transporting cart which comprises a base stand and a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted underneath said base stand; a supporting frame mounted on said transporting cart in vertically movable manner to adjust a height of said supporting frame, wherein said supporting frame comprises two spaced apart transverse arms and a supporting bed, having a two-side-accessing ability, slidably mounted between said two transverse arms in a horizontal movable manner, such that said supporting bed is selectively and sidewardly slid with respect to said transporting cart to allow said supporting bed selectively sliding at two opposing sideward directions; and an endless conveyer platform slidably mounted at said supporting bed in loop manner, wherein said conveyer platform is adapted for supporting said patient thereon to selectively load and unload the patient on said supporting bed when said conveyer platform is endlessly rotated at clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, wherein said supporting frame further comprises two side guiders longitudinally extended along two sides of said supporting bed respectively, wherein each of said side guiders has two ends pivotally coupling with said transverse arms respectively to pivotally fold at a upper guiding position that said side guider is upwardly folded above said supporting bed to block said supporting bed sliding sidewardly and at a lower accessible position that said side guider is downwardly folded below said supporting bed to allow said supporting bed to slide sidewardly.
