PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer supporting device allowing a person such as the elderly for whom it is difficult to stand up because of the weak muscular force and a person with a high risk of falling when walking even if the person can stand up to stand up and safely walk by lifting himself/herself by a hoisting mechanism 30.SOLUTION: The transfer supporting device is prevented from hindering the transfer motion by downsizing a support base bottom of a body of the transfer supporting device. The body of the movement supporting device is fixed not to move in the pitching direction or rolling direction during the hoisting motion which has a high risk of overturning of the body of the transfer supporting device, so that the transfer supporting device is prevented from overturning.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】高齢者など、筋力が弱いために立ち上がり動作が難しい人や、立ち上がることができても、歩行時に転倒する危険性の高い人が、巻き揚げ機構30により自分を吊り上げて立ち上がり、安全に歩行することを可能とする移動支援装置を得ることを目的とする。【解決手段】移動支援装置本体の支持基底面を小さくすることによって移動動作の邪魔にならないようにし、移動支援装置本体が転倒する危険性の高い巻き上げ動作時には移動支援装置本体をピッチング方向およびローリング方向に動かないように固定し、転倒しないようにした。【選択図】図1
