Filed:
Nov 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/941688
Inventors:

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
A transfer sling having a generally rectangular fabric element sized to cover bottom of an automobile seat and to extend at least part way up the seat back ending in a yoke to be attached to a vehicle headrest at the top of the seat back. The lower portion of the fabric element is further constructed of an additional, second ply of low friction fabric material sewn together with the fabric element marginally at only the juncture with the top portion so that the two fabric plies remain free to slide relative to one another with minimal resistance thereby enabling the seated individual to more easily rotate their legs to/from a forward oriented position from/to a side oriented position in relation to the vehicle. An adjustable strap with a releasable buckle is provided approximately at the transition point between the upper and lower portions of the fabric element for reinforcing the two-ply joint and for engaging the seat back and retaining the lower portion of the fabric element in relative proximity to the seat bottom of the vehicle seat.
