Disclosed is a multipurpose body-turn-over apparatus mainly including an elevator support, a cantilever elevator fixed to the elevator support, a driving mechanism mounted on the cantilever elevator, and a controller for setting operating time and speed, reverse, and pause of the driving mechanism, as well as adjusting height of the elevator support. The driving mechanism drives a driven assembly to reciprocate, so that ropes hanging from two ends of the driven assembly to connect a net thereto are alternately pulled up and lowered, causing a patient lying on the net to turn over regularly to avoid bedsore due to lying on bed for a prolonged time. Means other than the net may also be selectively connected to the ropes to help patient do rehabilitation exercises or complete skeletal traction. The apparatus may be designed into heavy-duty or light model to meet different requirements and can be freely moved for use with different sick beds.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A multipurpose body-turn-over apparatus, comprising an elevator support, a cantilever elevator horizontally extended from one side of said elevator support and supporting a driving mechanism fixedly mounted thereon, said driving mechanism including a controller, a motor, a reduction gearbox, and a driven assembly having two ends; ropes having one upper end connected to said driven assembly and another lower end provided with hooks hanging from said two ends of said driven assembly, and limit switches being mounted at predetermined positions on a travel of said driven assembly; whereby when said driving mechanism is actuated by starting said motor and said reduction gearbox, said driven assembly is driven to reciprocate to cause said ropes at said two ends of said driven assembly to alternately ascend or descend within a distance defined by said limit switches, and whereby either a net or other medical treating means may be connected to lower ends of said ropes via said hooks to help turn a patient over on the net to avoid bedsore, to help the patient do rehabilitation exercises, or to suspend a part of the patient, such as a broken leg, as necessary.
