摘要： A control device is provided for a dryer of the type which is operable to perform first and second cycles wherein in the first cycle the drum of the dryer is rotated by a motor and wherein in the second cycle the drum is stationary. The control device comprises a switch that is movable between an off state and an on state to connect the motor in circuit with a source of energy. An actuating shaft is mounted on the dryer for rotational movement between a first position corresponding to the first cycle of operation of the dryer and a second position corresponding to the second cycle of operation of the dryer and for movement between a normal and a depressed position. The shaft mounts a lever which is positioned to engage said switch to move the switch to the on state when the shaft is in the normal position and is adapted to cause operation of the switch to the off state when the actuating shaft is in the depressed position. Lock means is provided for preventing rotation of the shaft when the shaft is in the normal position and is responsive to movement of the shaft to the depressed position to permit rotation thereof whereby the motor is automatically deenergized when the dryer is switched between the first and second cycles of operation.

摘要： A bed configured to support a patient having a weight comprises a frame, a patient support, and a plurality of sensors coupled between the frame and the patient support. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to generate an analog signal in response to a portion of the weight of the patient on the patient support. The bed also comprises a circuit coupled to the plurality of sensors to receive the analog signals therefrom. The circuit includes a plurality of analog-to-digital converters, each analog-to-digital converter being coupled to one of the sensors to generate a separate digital signal for each of the plurality of sensors, and a processor coupled to the plurality of analog-to-digital converters to determine the weight of the patient on the patient support.

摘要： An acceleration sensor is shown having a substrate (16, 16', 16", 16'") on which a capacitor detect plate (24) and source plate mounting portion (28c) are disposed. An electrically conductive blade member (40, 44) having an attachment portion (40a, 44h), a source plate portion (40i, 44a) and integrally attached beams (40b, 40c; 44b) extending along opposite sides of the blade member is mounted on the substrate by welding the attachment portion to a mounting element (36, 36', 36", 36'") which is closely received in a bore (32, 32', 32", 32'") formed through the substrate at the source plate mounting portion. The mounting element or the bore is formed with a surface suitable for forming an interference fit and for making electrical engagement with a conductive layer received in the bore. The mounting element has one end (36b, 36b', 36b") which extends above the top surface (26, 26") an adjustable selected amount(s) to provide desired spacing between the source plate portion and the detect plate. A single mounting element of a pair of mounting elements can be used and may be in the form of a solid (36, 36", 36'") or a hollow (36') pin.

摘要： A patient support system comprises an inflatable mattress supported on a platform of articulable links by a support system mounted on a weigh frame. The weigh frame is supported on a base frame supported relative to a floor. A pneumatic system includes a platform-mounted blower directing air through passageways in the articulable links. An exhaust passageway parallels the pressure passageway for exhausting opposite the blower. Air flow into and out of air cells in the mattress are controlled by valves coupling the pressurized air chamber and exhaust chamber to cell ports. A connector assembly is used to couple the cells to the platform, to adjacent cells, and to tubes connected to other cells. A footboard assembly is formed as two gates that swing out from the foot of the bed. Each gate has a storable tray that is positionable on either side of the gate. A headboard has a removable central panel for providing emergency patient access. Additionally, each corner of the headboard has a telescoping equipment support post positionable at a variety of heights and having equipment supports that automatically drop into place upon removal from storage in the headboard. A three-point weight sensing system tracks patient weight and generates pre-exit and exit alarms based on sensed movement of the patient on the mattress. A portable control unit wraps around a guard rail to provide both patient and nurse controls, and uses a unitary membrane to cover exposed faces of the controls and resiliently wrap around the guard rail. Selectively engagable guide or fifth wheels are mounted to the base frame to provide direction stability during bed movement. The platform is articulable to allow a patient to enter or exit the bed in a standing position. An adjustable stand up board is selectively positionable at the foot of the bed to take the patient's weight during this process. A vertically telescoping guard rail elevation system provides energy storage to resist lowering and assist raising the guard rail. A brace is provided for seating the platform on the weigh frame when the bed is in a low position and to assist in movement of the bed longitudinally when in the low position.

摘要： A backpack kickstand assembly for supporting a backpack while the backpack is being worn includes a backpack frame that can be worn on a user's back. A backpack is removably mounted to the backpack frame to facilitate the backpack to be carried on the user's back. A kickstand is attachable to the backpack frame and the kickstand is positionable in an extended position to support the weight of the backpack frame while the backpack frame is being worn to facilitate the wearer of the backpack frame to rest. The kickstand is positionable in a retracted position to facilitate the wearer to bear the full weight of the backpack frame.
