Embodiment Construction

[0059] refer to figure 1 , the patient support device 10 is exemplarily embodied as a hospital bed 10 . figure 1 The view shown is taken approximately from a position oriented at the left foot (tail) end of the hospital bed 10 . For orientation purposes, the discussion of the hospital bed 10 will be based on the orientation of a patient supported on the hospital bed 10 in a supine position. Thus, the foot end 12 of the hospital bed 10 refers to the end closest to the patient's foot when the patient is supported on the hospital bed 10 in a supine position. The hospital bed 10 has a head end 14 opposite a foot end 12 . The left side 16 refers to the patient's left side when the patient is lying in the hospital bed 10 in the supine position. Right side 18 refers to the right side of the patient. When referring to the longitudinal length of the hospital bed 10 , it refers to the direction represented by the line extending generally between the head end 14 and the foot end 12 o...

Abstract

A non-powered mattress comprising a shell surrounding a frame structure and a bladder assembly, the shell being adapted to engage a hinged frame to control movement of portions of the bladder assembly and foam frame in response to movement of the hinged frame .

Description

[0001] claim priority [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of the U.S. Patent Act, this application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 537,943, filed July 27, 2017, which is expressly incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to mattresses (pads) for use in clinical settings. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to non-powered mattresses that use self-adjusting technology to control the interface pressure exerted at the mattress surface when a patient is positioned on the mattress surface. Background technique [0004] As hospital bed frames and other patient support devices become more advanced and include advanced articulations to allow for better customized adjustment and positioning of the patient, support surfaces / mattress supports on the frame are placed in increasingly complex locations . Relative movement of mattress components relative to the frame may result in improper positioning...
