摘要： An apparatus (100) for elevating the head and torso of a patient confined to a fluidized patient support system (101). A head cushion assembly (102), a knee gatch assembly (901) and a control assembly (1101) are integrated with any known fluidized patient support system (101) and preferably integrated, at least in part, with the cover sheet (103) of the chosen patient support system (101). In operation, the invention (100) may be utilized to raise and/or lower a patient's head and torso, in 15° steps, to any inclination from supine to approximately 45°. In implementations utilizing the knee gatch assembly (901), the patient is effectively prevented from sliding during inclination even to the highest of angles. The controls (1101) are conveniently provided on a handheld unit (1201) for easy access and operation by caregivers and patient alike.

摘要： According to the invention an upper frame part (6) is mounted in a pivoting manner on both sides by means of pivot bearings (9a) each comprising a first lever (10) which engages the upper frame part at the rear end and a longer lever (11) which engages the frame at the top end in an offset manner and like the first lever (10) is articulated on a longitudinal cross-beam (2a). The upper frame part (6) pivots in such a way that when said upper part is raised it is automatically displaced at the top end. The raising of the upper frame part (6) is supported by a pressure spring element which engages said part from below, consists of a blockable gas spring (22) and a coil spring and is positioned below an adjoining lower frame part (8). The raising of the upper frame part is further supported by the lowering of the front end of the lower frame part (8) which acts on the upper frame part (6) by way of transmitting devices (16a). The transmitting devices each comprise a guide surface (18) whose lower side is convex and which is fixed to the lower side of the lower frame part (8), as well as a roller (20) which is mounted on the end of a protuberance (19) attached to the lower side of the upper frame part (6) and projecting beyond the rear end of same and against which the guide surface (18) pushes.

摘要： A hand-held controller (50) is provided for controlling at least one function of a bed and mattress assembly (52). The hand-held controller (50) includes a button (264) engageable to control the at least one function of the bed and mattress assembly (52), and a display (86) configured to provide feedback to a user regarding the at least one function. The display (86) simultaneously displays a graphical image (352, 354, 356, 364, 366, 368, 370, 476, 478, 674, 676) and numerical data (360, 362, 482, 484, 678) when the button (264) is engaged.

摘要： A position controlling system (20) that comprises a position control means (21) combined with a support pad (33) with said control means (21) being constructed for arcuately moving the support pad (33), with the position control means (21) and pad (33) being surrounded by a cover (34) to form a portable, unitary, adjustable support assembly. In the preferred embodiment the moveable adjustable support assembly is constructed with an expandable shroud (37) integrally connected to the cover (34) in association with the position control means (21) for expanding in response to the arcuate movement of the position control means (21) while being automatically retracted into a folded configuration when the control means (21) is returned to its original position. In addition, the invention incorporates a single air flow control assembly (22) which is capable of directly controlling two distinct adjustable support assemblies, each of which uses separate control means (23). Individuals with queen or king size beds can use two distinct adjustable support assemblies (21) for separate and independent control while using a single air flow control assembly (22).

摘要： Reclining or sitting unit such as a bed, having a frame (1) with an adjustable head (2) and an adjustable foot (3), each pro­vided with an adjustment device comprising a lever (16, 7), which is pivotably secured to the frame (1) and engages with one end the head or foot respectively and with the other end cooperates with a lockable gasspring (6, 10). Said unit having an energy-buffer (14, 19) into which energy can be fed and accumulated by moving the head, which accumulated energy supports the adjustment device of the foot. Said energy-buffer can be a spring (14), with or without a lostmotion-connection (15), which spring by means of a reversing gear (11, 12) acts on the foot lever (7) or by switching past its pivot point acts like a flip-flop. The energy-buffer can also be formed by a pneumatic connection between the two gas springs (6, 10).

摘要： Le sommier est destiné à être recouvert par un matelas et comporte une partie fixe et, du côté de la tête, une partie mobile relevable.
Sa partie mobile (6-7) est reliée à so partie fixe (1-3) par deux jeux de biellettes qui sont disposés chacun d'un côté du sommier, chacun de ces jeux étant constitué de deux biellet tes (10 et 13) formant un quadrilatère articulé avec les parties fixe et mobile de sorte que le mouvement de relèvement de la partie mobile s'accompagne d'un recul de son extrémité inférieure, ce qui évite le glissement du matelas (9) sur les parties fixe et mobile du sommier.

摘要： Le dispositif présente deux cadres (1, 3) reliés entre eux par un axe de rotation (2) et tenus écartés l'un de l'autre par des barres de torsion (6, 7) et par des ressorts pneumatiques (12, 13) précontraints et disposés près de l'axe (2). Le cadre supérieur incliné (3) sert d'appui pour la partie d'un matelas située près de la tête d'un sommier. Dans le but de modifier l'angle d'inclinaison du cadre supérieur (3), on prévoit, fixés sur celui-ci, des câbles en acier (14, 21), qui sont déviés par des poulies (15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24) disposées sur l'autre cadre (1) et reliés à un levier pivotant (19) sur ce dernier cadre (1) et actionné par un moteur de levage (26). En actionnant le moteur de levage (26) dans un sens, les câbles (14, 21) font pivoter un cadre (1) contre l'autre (3) et contre la réaction des barres de torsion (6, 7) et des ressorts pneumatiques (12, 13). En l'actionnant dans le sens contraire, les cadres (1, 3) s'écartent l'un de l'autre sous l'effet des barres de torsion (6, 7) et des ressorts pneumatiques (12, 13).
