Bed, particularly hospital or nursing bed

Abstract

The present invention relates to a bed (10), particularly a hospital or nursing bed, which is provided with a bed frame (20) that comprises two side parts (26) on the lateral sides, a head end (21), and a foot end (23). Furthermore, the bed (10) is provided with a mattress support device (30), which comprises a back part (32) that can be adjusted, a seat surface part (34, 36), and a lower leg part (38) that can be adjusted, and with a subframe (12) under the bed frame (20), wherein the subframe (12) comprises an end (15) on the foot end side that faces the foot end (23) and an end (17) on thehead end side that faces the head end (21). The mattress support device (30) is divided into a part (30b) on the foot end side and a part (30a) on the head end side along a dividing plane (44) extending substantially parallel to the foot and head parts (24, 22) of the bed frame (20). The bed frame (20) is divided into a bed frame part (20b) on the foot end side and a bed frame part (20a) on the head end side along a dividing plane (45) extending substantially parallel to the dividing plane (44) of the mattress support device (30). The parts (20b, 30b) of the bed frame (20) and mattress support device (30) on the foot end side can be optionally locked on the respective associated parts (20a, 30a) thereof on the head end side or moved relative to said parts on the head end side. The bed frame (20) and the subframe (12) can be moved longitudinally, particularly by motor, relative to each other in a longitudinal direction parallel to the side parts (26) of the bed frame (20), namely between a first and a second relative movement position, wherein in the first relative movement position, the dividing plane (44) of the mattress support device (30) is located in the area between the ends(15, 17) of the subframe (12) on the foot end and head end sides.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to beds, in particular hospital beds or nursing beds.
