A head wall apparatus (10) includes a support configured to be coupled to a wall (12). A front panel (22) is coupled to the support to define an interior region of the head wall (10). A plurality of first gas blocks (28) are coupled to the support, and a plurality of second gas (29) blocks are also coupled to the support spaced apart from the first gas blocks (28). Each of the first and second gas blocks (28, 29) have an inlet and an outlet. The apparatus (10) further includes a plurality of first and second gas supply hoses (31, 33) located in the interior region which are coupled to the first and second gas supply blocks (28, 29), respectively. At least one divider (116, 126) is coupled to the support within the interior region. The at least one divider (116, 126) is configured to separate the first and second gas supply hoses (31, 33) into first and second separate pathways within the interior region.

A bed frame (10) includes a base frame (12), an articulated support deck (16), an intermediate frame (14) positioned between the base frame (12) and the articulated support deck (16), and an auto-contour mechanism (78). The articulated support deck (16) includes head, seat and foot deck portions (40, 42, 44). When engaged, the auto-contour mechanism (78) adjusts the elevation of the seat deck portion (42) and the foot deck portion (44) in response to an adjustment of the head deck portion (40). The auto-contour mechanism (78) is easely engaged/disengaged by manipulating a control lever (84). The bed frame (12) can include siderails (100) which are provided with a latching mechanism (110). The bed frame (12) can also include a caster assembly (150) that allows casters (152) to be pivoted in an engaged position in which the bed frame rests (12) on the casters (152), and a disengaged position in which the bed frame (12) rests on legs (24).
摘要:
A mattress structure (30) having a plurality of side-by-side lower support elements (50), a layer of material (54) underlying the lower support elements (50), and a plurality of side-by-side upper support elements (52) overlying and being supported by lower support elements (50) is described. The upper support elements (52) are connected by a plurality of tethers (128) to the layer of material (54), with the tethers (128) extending between adjacent lower support elements (50). Each of one of the upper support elements (52) and lower support elements (50) is an inflatable air bladder with specified sets of air bladders defining tube set zones (142, 144, 146). The pressure of the zones (142, 144, 146) is controlled by an air pressure system (170).
摘要:
The apparatus of the present invention provides a mobile care cart which mates with an architectural headwall or pivoting power column that allows a hospital to create a "general care" patient room that can be upgraded quickly and efficiently to a critical care room "upon demand" without remodeling the room. The apparatus of the present invention allows a general care "flexible" headwall or pivoting power column with services that can be upgraded or downgraded easily. In addition, the care cart supports critical care devices such as the ventilator, pumps, etc., at the bedside. The care cart can be coupled to the patient bed for manually transporting the patient. During the transport, the mobile care cart provides uninterrupted power for critical care devices.

An apparatus (20) for supporting a service column (28) from a ceiling (26) includes a mounting assembly (22), an arm assembly (24), and a leveling mechanism (270). The mounting assembly (22) is adapted to be coupled to the ceiling (26) and includes a tube (46) configured to extend downwardly with respect to the ceiling (26). The arm assembly (24) includes a first arm (30) coupled to the tube (46) and extending therefrom. A portion of the arm assembly (24) is adapted to be coupled to the service column (28) so that the service column (28) is supportable at a location spaced from the mounting assembly (22). The first arm (30) is subject to loads having a tendency to deflect the first arm (30) relative to the tube (46). The leveling mechanism (270) includes a first member (272) engaging the tube (46), a second member (274) coupled to the first arm (30), and an adjuster (276) coupled to the first and second members (272, 274). The adjuster (276) is movable to move the first member (272) relative to the second member (274) thereby to move the first arm (30) relative to the tube (46) to compensate for deflection of the first arm (30).
摘要:
A surgical table (10) includes a base (32), a vertical support member (34) extending vertically upwardly from the base (32), a frame (30) extending outwardly from the support member (34), and a mattress (38) supported by the frame (30) and positioned to lie above the frame (30). The mattress (38) is configured to support a patient (24) and has at least one bladder (122) configured to receive a medium. The surgical table (10) also includes a power pack (64) positioned to lie within the base (32) and configured to supply the medium to the mattress (38) to change the shape of the mattress (38).
摘要:
A mattress structure (10) is provided for converting a platform such as a box spring (24) on a bed (11) to an articulatable platform for the bed (11). The mattress structure includes a mattress (12), a base platform (26) that is formed to rest on the box spring (24), first and second top plates (30, 32) hinged on the base platform (26), a head-end bladder (64, 66) fastened between the first top plate (30) and the base platform (26), and a foot-end bladder (68, 70) fastened between the second top plate (32) and the base platform (26). The mattress structure (10) further includes a fastener mechanism (218) that both holds the mattress (12) on the top plates (30, 32) and limits side-to-side movement of the mattress (12) on the top plates (30, 32). In addition, an attachment mechanism (77, 78) holds the base platform (26) on the box spring (24).

A patient-support apparatus (20) includes a base (22), a patient support (26) carried by the base (22), at least one side guard panel (44) pivotably connected to the patient support (26) for movement between first and second positions, and a combined hinge and latch assembly (60) configured to pivotably connect the side guard panel (44) to the patient support (26). The combined hinge and latch assembly (60) includes a mount (74) fixedly connected to the patient support (26), a hinge member (70) fixedly connected to the side guard panel (44) and rotatably connected to the mount (74) for pivoting movement about an axis (136), and a stop mechanism (128) coupled to one of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74). The hinge member (70) is movable along the axis (136) between a locking position in which the stop mechanism (128) engages the other of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) to prevent relative rotation between the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) and a releasing position in which the stop mechanism (128) is disengaged from the other of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) to allow relative rotation between the hinge member (70) and the mount (74).
