Unlike conventional floor lifts or permanently installed ceiling-track systems, the invention is designed to&nbsp;<strong>disassemble into compact components, travel with the user, and be rapidly assembled at the destination without permanent building modifications<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Market Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For individuals who require lifting assistance, travelling away from home can be difficult because hotels, vacation properties and other temporary accommodations may not have suitable patient-transfer equipment. Conventional floor lifts can be large and difficult to transport, while ceiling-mounted systems typically require permanent installation. This can leave caregivers performing physically demanding manual transfers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invention combines a&nbsp;<strong>sectional overhead support frame, movable trolley, battery-powered lifting mechanism and sling-based patient support assembly<\/strong>&nbsp;into a portable system that can be assembled over a bed, used to transfer an individual, and subsequently disassembled for transportation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The disclosed system provides several commercially attractive features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Portable design<\/strong>\u00a0intended for travel and temporary accommodations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Approximately five-minute assembly<\/strong>\u00a0with no hand tools required in the disclosed embodiment.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compact storage<\/strong>\u00a0in a wheeled carrying case approximately 11&#8243; \u00d7 11&#8243; \u00d7 42&#8243;.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rechargeable battery-powered lifting<\/strong>\u00a0with provision for a spare battery and charger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjustable overhead span<\/strong>\u00a0to accommodate different bed widths, including queen and king configurations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightweight sectional aluminum construction<\/strong>\u00a0designed to balance strength with portability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No permanent installation or structural modification<\/strong>\u00a0to the accommodation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overhead trolley system<\/strong>\u00a0allowing the lifted individual to be repositioned between wheelchair and bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The submitted drawings further illustrate the sectional structural components, lifting equipment, patient-support components and compact transportation arrangement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target Markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Portable Patient Transfer Lift has potential applications in the&nbsp;<strong>mobility, home healthcare, patient-handling, rehabilitation and accessible-travel markets<\/strong>. Potential customers include wheelchair users and caregivers, while potential licensing partners include patient-lift manufacturers, mobility-equipment companies, durable medical equipment suppliers, home healthcare companies and accessibility-product manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotels, vacation properties and other temporary accommodations represent an especially compelling application because the system is specifically designed to provide transfer capability in locations where permanent lifting equipment may be unavailable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licensing Opportunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invention offers established healthcare and mobility-equipment manufacturers an opportunity to expand into a&nbsp;<strong>travel-oriented patient-transfer category<\/strong>&nbsp;using a system designed around portability, compact storage and rapid deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A licensee could potentially utilize its existing manufacturing, safety engineering, patient-lift technology and distribution infrastructure to commercialize the concept for both consumer and institutional markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Core Value Proposition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Patient-transfer capability that travels with the user.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Portable Patient Transfer Lift is designed to give mobility-impaired individuals and their caregivers access to essential transfer equipment beyond the home\u2014helping make&nbsp;<strong>travel, temporary accommodation and everyday mobility more accessible and practical.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portable Patient Transfer Lift Product Overview The&nbsp;Portable Patient Transfer Lift&nbsp;is a modular, transportable lifting system designed to assist wheelchair users and mobility-impaired individuals with transfers between a wheelchair and a bed.
