Rotating receptacle

A rotatable socket assembly, provided in form of a rotatable socket, includes: a side provided with a socket unit and a functional socket, and an adjacent side provided with a flat surface. The rotatable socket starts rotating, when a switch on an active surface of the rotatable socket is pressed to start the driving motor, such that check elements connected to the active end of the driving motor drive the rotatable socket to rotate by a predetermined angle to cause the socket to face upward, thereby facilitating the use of a plug. Alternatively, when the plug is not in use, the switch at a predetermined angle is pressed, such that the check elements connected to the active end of the driving motor drive the rotatable socket to rotate by a predetermined angle to cause the flat surface to face upward and enable the socket to face laterally and get hidden.

Rotating receptacle assembly

A foot support and abduction assembly includes an abductor-mounted foot support configured for pivotal attachment proximate a foot end of a maternity bed. A calf support assembly, for mounting to the foot support, includes a housing for removably attaching the calf support to the foot support. The housing includes a spring-biased pin for releasably securing the housing to the foot support and at least one mounting stud configured for insertion into a keyhole aperture on the foot support. A calf support portion is adjustably mounted to the housing by a ball-type pivot mount. An adjustment mechanism is provided for selectively fixing the position of the calf support portion relative to the housing. The adjustment mechanism includes a slidable sleeve for locking the ball-type pivot, and a threaded rod or a cam shaft arranged to shift the slidable sleeve.

Calf support assembly for a maternity bed foot support and abduction assembly

A foot support and abduction assembly includes an abductor configured for pivotal attachment proximate a foot end of a maternity bed. The foot support is configured for locating in a stowed position below the abductor, and a calf support is attached to an undersurface of the foot support. An upright assembly has a first end that is secured to the abductor for longitudinal movement along a length of the abductor, a second end to which the foot support is movably mounted, and a locking mechanism for selectively securing the upright assembly in one of a plurality of positions along the length of the abductor. The upright assembly is further configured for movement from a deployed position to a stowed position, and the locking mechanism is unlocked when the upright assembly is in the stowed position.
