Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the following description, the phrase "first end" is used to indicate the end of any component of the bed at which the occupant's head will be positioned in normal use, and the phrase "second end" is used Represents the end of any component of the bed that faces the end of the bed where the feet of the occupant will be positioned in normal use.

[0027] figure 1 The bed 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Bed 1 is suitable for use in hospitals. The mattress has been removed for clarity, so that the platform and frame 3 can be seen in more detail. The platform is articulated and includes a backrest section 5, a thigh section 7 and a lower leg section 9. The first end of the backrest section 5 can be raised so that the torso of the occupant can be supported when the occupant is in a sitting position. The first end of the thigh section 7 is pivotally attached to the bed frame 3 and the second end of the thigh section 7 can be raised so that ...

Abstract

Apparatus for selectively supporting a section (9) of an articulated bed platform in a raised position relative to a frame of the bed includes a stay (11) having engagement member (13) which is able to reciprocate in a guide (15) provided on the frame. Locking means allow the engagement member (13) to be selectively engaged, such that the engagement member (13) either reciprocates in the guide (15), or is prevented from doing so. When the engagement member (13) is engaged, the stay (11) can support the bed section (9) in the raised position.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to equipment for selectively supporting bed sections, and in particular to equipment suitable for use in hospital beds. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for supporting a section of an articulated bed platform in a raised position so that the platform can be placed in several different positions. Background technique [0002] Hospital beds usually include an articulated platform that includes several separate sections that can be independently raised, thus enabling the platform to be arranged in several positions to meet the needs of occupants and / or medical staff. [0003] Generally, three sections are provided along the length of the platform; a backrest section that supports the upper body of the occupant, a thigh section that supports the occupant's thigh (that is, between the hip and knee of the occupant), and a thigh section that supports the occupant The calf section below the knee. In a typica...
