Embodiment Construction

[0026] In the following description, the phrase "first end" is used to denote the end of any component of the bed that is positioned towards the head of the occupant where the end of the bed will be positioned in normal use, and the phrase "second end" is used Means the end of any component of the bed positioned towards the end of the bed where the occupant's feet would be positioned in normal use.

[0027] figure 1 A bed 1 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. Bed 1 is suitable for use in a hospital. 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 comprises a backrest section 5 , a thigh section 7 and a calf section 9 . The first end of the backrest section 5 can be raised such 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 ...

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 apparatus for selectively supporting bed sections, and in particular to apparatus suitable for use in hospital beds. More particularly, the present invention relates to apparatus for supporting sections of an articulating bed platform in a raised position so that the platform can be placed in several different positions. Background technique [0002] Hospital beds typically comprise an articulated platform comprising several separate sections that can be raised independently, thus enabling the platform to be arranged in several positions to suit the needs of the occupant and / or medical staff. [0003] Typically, three sections are provided along the length of the platform; a backrest section that supports the occupant's upper body, a thigh section that supports the occupant's thighs (that is, between the occupant's hips and knees), and a section that supports the occupant. The section of the lower leg below the knee. ...
