    摘要: A rotary valve for use in controlling an air supply to an inflatable patient support system, especially an alternating pressure mattress. The rotary valve comprises a body member having a planar surface and at least two apertures for communication with cells or sets of cells in the patient support system. A further aperture is provided for connection to a pressurized air source and an actuator member is rotatable in face to face contact with the planar surface. The actuator has a recessed portion which forms an air supply chamber when in contact with the planar surface. The valve further comprises a drive for rotating the actuator with respect to the first member and a detector for detecting the position of the actuator relative to the body member and, in conjunction with a control for controlling the timing and duration of air supply to the cells or sets of cells.

    摘要: An alternating pressure pad comprises at least two sets of inflatable cells, an air supply line to each set, a pump to circulate pressurized air through a circuit including the sets of cells and to return air from the cells to the pump, valve means for alternately causing inflation and deflation of each set, a sensor pad in the circuit through which pressurized air is passed and detecting means for detecting a reduction in air flow through the sensor pad to a level below a predetermined level and for increasing air pressure in the sets of cells to restore the air flow to a level above the predetermined level.
