A B S T R A C T O F T H E I N V E N T I O N "SUPPORTS FOR HOISTS" A support structure 6 for a hydrotherapy hoist or pool lift comprises a U-shaped upper portion 7 which extends over the decking at a side edge of the pool, and a lower portion 8 welded to the intermediate limb of the upper U and extending down into the pool. The upper portion engages an upper anchorage at 10 on each side limb of the U, and a reaction pad 12 at the lower end of the portion 8 bears against the side wall of the pool. The hoist has a vertical column 1 from which a short cantilever lifting arm 2 projects, a patient support seat 5 being mounted on the arm 3. A lifting mechanism, which raises and lowers the seat 5, is operated by a winding handle 3. The hoist is detachably supported by means of pintle-type bearings 13 and 14 mounted, respectively, adjacent the upper and lower ends of the lower support portion 8. Offset bearing pins on the column 1 engage in bearing blocks welded to the support portion 8. The bearings 13 ,14 allow the hoist to be swung through 180° about a vertical axis between a loading position, with the seat 5 above the decking and a treatment position in which the seat 5 and a supported patient can be lowered into the pool. In the loading position a patient can be transferred between the seat 5 and a wheelchair.
