PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lift device capable of surely executing an operation as indicated on a control switch by automatically stopping a drive means at upper-limit and lower-limit positions of a hook means, and of concentrating on assistance by preventing mechanical damage.SOLUTION: This reeling type lift device 1 for assistance is composed by vertically-movably operably forming the hook member fixed to the other end side of a rope member 7 by arranging a reeling drum 26 on a drive shaft 24 provided rotatably forward and backward by operation of a drive means, and winding one end side of the rope member 7 around the reeling drum 26. The device is provided with an upper-limit stop mechanism 33 and a lower-limit stop mechanism 34 automatically stopping the drive means at the upper-limit position and the lower-limit position of the hook means.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】掛止手段の上限及び下限位置で自動的に停止させるようにすることで、コントロールスイッチの表示通りの動作を確実に行うと共に、機械的破損を防止し、介助に集中することができるリフト装置を提供する。【解決手段】駆動手段の作動により正逆回転可能に設けた駆動軸24に巻取ドラム26を配し、この巻取ドラム26周りにロープ部材7の一端側を捲回することで、該ロープ部材7の他端側に止着した掛止部材を昇降自在に操作可能に構成してなる介護用の巻き取り式リフト装置1において、前記掛止部材の上限位置と下限位置で自動的に駆動手段を停止させる上限停止機構33と下限停止機構34を具備した。【選択図】図4
