摘要:
A hospital bed which is convertible to a chair configuration has a serially hinged normally horizontal head panel (28), seat panel (30), thigh panel (32) and foot panel (34). The foot panel (34) has a central section (38) and a wing section (40) longitudinally pivoted on each lateral side of the central section. To convert the horizontal bed to the chair configuration the head panel (28) is pivoted upwardly and the foot panel (34) pivots downwardly between parallel rail members (78) of the bed frame (14). The hinged intersection of the foot panel (34) and the thigh panel (32) pivots upwardly to support the patient's knees. Through sliding contact with rail members (78) of the bed frame each wing section (40) pivots upwardly in response to the downward movement of the central section (38) of the foot panel (34).

A hospital bed (100) supported on a wheeled base (104), a ventilator (26) mounted on a ventilator cart (18) with a wheeled base (20) and a care cart (200) are docked together and rollable as a unit. The wheeled bed base has outspread Y-shaped arms for docking the ventilator cart, the latter falling within the footprint (126) of the former. The care cart (200) carries a battery housing (203) and oxygen, and means for connecting electricity and oxygen to the ventilator, as well as structure for attaching the cart wheeled base (201) to the bed wheeled base. A motorized dolley (401) is incorporated into another embodiment to provide motorized transport of the combination. A safety switch (120) prevents the lowering of the bed surface onto the ventilator.
摘要:
A hospital bed (10) that is convertible to a chair for patient egress from the foot end of the bed. A patient support platform (18) has serially hinged, normally horizontal head (28), seat (30), thigh (32), and foot (34) panels. To convert the horizontal bed to the chair configuration, the patient support platform (18) in the lowermost vertical position is translated longitudinally toward the foot end of the bed (10). The head panel (28) is pivoted upwardly and the foot panel (34) pivots downwardly to a generally vertical attitude. The foot panel (34) includes a collapsing portion (46) which telescopes into a pivoting portion to thereby avoid interference with the floor as the foot panel (34) is pivoted to a vertical attitude.

An IV rack (10) is a frame (20) having spaced horizontal bars (22, 23, 24, 25). IV containers (31) are hung from the top bar (22). Pumps (35) are mounted between the lower bars (24 and 25). Conductors (50) and accessible contacts (51) for the respective pumps (35) are mounted in and form a part of the IV rack (10) so that the pumps (35) can be connected to a single DC power supply (61) and a single AC power supply.
摘要:
An apparatus (450) for motorized transport of the hospital bed (100) and care cart (200) docks to the head end of the bed (100) and has a drive wheel (453), a motor (477) propelling the drive wheel (453), a joy stick type potentiometer (457) for controlling the speed and direction of the drive wheel (453) and handles (454) for grasping the apparatus (450) and maneuvering the apparatus (450) and the hospital bed (100). Gas springs (503) are actuated by the bed (100) when the motorized transport apparatus (450) and the bed (100) are docked together for exerting a downward force on the wheel drive (453) to reduce the tendency of the drive wheel (453) to slip. The apparatus falls within the footprint (126) of the bed (100).
摘要:
A power column (15) is a hollow post having six vertical walls (21-26) and is mounted between horizontal arms (16 and 17) pivoted to the floor (12) and ceiling (11), respectively. The pivotal axis (18) for the arms passes through the head end (19) of a hospital bed (20) enabling the power column to swing from one side of the bed to the other. The electrical outlets (27-29) are on two walls (22 and 23) separated by a front wall (21) so that one or the other of the walls is easily accessible whether the power column is on either side of the bed. Lateral horizontal rails (40) are pivotably mounted on either side of the column. The height of the rails is adjustable. The rails contain one or more gas outlets (45) which are laterally adjustable on the rail and can carry other accessories that are laterally adjustable.
