A patient-support apparatus includes a patient-support deck movable from a use position to a stowed position. The patient-support deck is configured to engage receivers of the patient-support apparatus to support the deck in a cantilevered configuration. The patient-support deck may be secured to the patient-support apparatus by a locking mechanism. A storage structure is configured to support the patient-support deck in a stowed position. The storage structure is configured to deflect under load to prevent damage to the storage structure or patient-support deck.

Patient-support apparatus with a locking deck section

A bed includes a deck coupled to a frame () and having at least a head section which is pivotable relative to the frame. The bed also includes a head end barrier () element along the head section and moveable with the head end section as the head section pivots relative to the frame. The bed also includes an auxiliary barrier element () extending footwardly of and overlapping the head end barrier element when both barrier elements are in a raised position.

Bed with overlapping barriers

A patient support is connectable to an external power source. The patient support includes a bedframe supported on a floor, a plurality of wheels coupled to the bedframe, and a brake configured to prevent the bed from moving on the floor. The brake is moveable between a braked position and an unbraked position. The patient support also includes a controller configured to activate an alarm when the brake is moved to the unbraked position when the bed is connected to the external power source.

Hospital bed having caster braking alarm

A bed comprises a head end, a foot end, first and second sides and a deck which includes, a head section and a foot section. The head section is pivotable. Head end and foot end barriers () are positioned along one of the sides, and both barriers are adapted to move between raised and lowered positions. The head end barrier is moveable with the head section as the head section pivots. When both barriers are raised 1) the foot end barrier () extends footwardly beyond the head end barrier ('), 2) a portion of the head end barrier and a portion of the foot end barrier overlap each other over a portion of their longitudinal extents at all pivoted positions of the head end barrier, and 3) the overlapped portion of the head end barrier is laterally between the deck and the overlapped portion of the foot end barrier.

Overlapping barriers for a bed

A patient support is provided for supporting a patient. The patient support includes a bedframe and a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a wheel pivotably coupled to the bedframe and a wheel position holder. The wheel position holder has a cam and a cam surface that includes recesses configured to cooperate with the cam to position the wheel.

Wheel systems for a hospital bed

A bed includes an articulating deck affixed to a frame. The bed has at least a head end section and a foot end section. The head end section is pivotable relative to the frame. The bed also includes a head end barrier element' laterally alongside the head end section and co-pivotable therewith. The bed also includes an auxiliary barrier elementlongitudinally adjacent the head end barrier element. The auxiliary barrier element is nonrotational relative to the frame during movement of one or more of the head end and foot end sections.

Bed with articulated barrier elements

A patient support is provided for supporting a patient. Patient support includes a frame, a deck, a mattress and siderails. The deck includes a panel having apertures that receive upside down U-shaped wire loops therein to removably couple the panel to the frame. Top portions of the wire loops extend above the panel and serve as restraint strap holders.

Stowing birthing bed foot section

A patient support () is provided for supporting a patient. Patient support () includes a frame (), a deck (), a mattress () and siderails (and).

Hospital bed

The present invention relates to a bed, in particular a hospital bed, fitted with a plurality of adjacent individual barrier elements along at least one of its longitudinal sides, the barrier elements extending vertically and each occupying a fraction of the length of the bed.

A bed siderail for a bed having a frame includes a flexible section to allow a portion of the siderail to flex upward.

Bed siderails having flexible portions

The present invention relates to a bed, in particular a hospital bed, fitted with a plurality of adjacent individual barrier elements along at least one of its longitudinal sides, the barrier elements extending vertically and each occupying a fraction of the length of the bed. It is essentially characterized by the fact that there are at least two of said barrier elements (') and they are hinged relative to each other about an axis (XX&#x2032;) that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bed so that in an overlapping position they are contiguous relative to each other and occupy, transversely, substantially the same space as a single element, whereas in the deployed position, they extend in parallel and substantially in line with each other.

A bed assembly includes a base, a frame supported by the base, a deck supported by the frame, and a unit received in an opening formed in an upwardly-facing top surface of the deck so that the unit is accessible from the top side of the deck.
