摘要：
A switching arrangement for a patient hoist - for example, a ceiling-mountedhoist for lifting and transporting patients with mobility impairments -includes aswitching member which descends from the hoist such that it is reachable by anoperatorstanding on the floor adjacent to the patient. The switch can be actuated bythe operatorto disable the hoist by moving the switch member with a first type of motion,e.g., bypulling the switch member along an axis. The hoist member can thereafter be re-enabledby the switch member only when the switch member is moved with a secondtype of motion different from the first type, e.g., by rotating the switchmember alongthe axis. The use of different disabling and enabling motions helps to deteraccidentalre-enablement once the hoist is disabled, which is particularly useful wheredisablementis done for emergency purposes.
