The metallic bar that forms like a sort of inclined v, what would you call it. What's the most specific term you can find for it, and what's the most general term (name not related to its function if it's possible) you can find for it? I would like both, because this is a tricky object to describe.

It is called a hoist for which the Oxford Dictionary has this entry:
hoist
NOUN
1.1 An apparatus for lifting or raising something.
I have four visits a day, two carers at a time, as the only way they can move me is by using a hoist.

Google Image Search says it's a "Handi-Move", which seems to be a manufacturer's brand name, that the thing made of metal tubes is a "body support", and that the motor thing is a ceiling hoist.
