    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 (44) to thereby avoid interference with the floor as the foot panel (34) is pivoted to a vertical attitude. When converted to the chair configuration, an area is vacated at the foot end of the bed to provide a space for docking a wheelchair or other ambulatory assisting device. The patient's feet rest directly on the floor in the chair configuration in that the foot panel collapses into itself as it pivots downwardly rather than pivoting along a second axis to underlie the patient's feet.
