An arrangement which allows patients confined to their beds, to use a toilet without leaving their beds or to be placed in a wheel chair. A sectionalized mattress is positioned in sequential steps so as to place the patient directly over a toilet or in a wheel chair without discomfort to the patient. The mattress, together with the patient, is positioned in a manner which allows the patient to use the toilet while sitting in an upright customary manner or in an inclined manner. The section of the mattress over the toilet is removed while the patient's weight is not directed thereon. Hygienic cleansing procedures are provided in conjunction with the toilet, and the patient is returned to a reclined position after repositioning the mattress and replacement of the section of the mattress that was removed to enable the patient to use the toilet. Replacement of that section of the mattress is carried out also while the patient's weight is not directed thereon. The mattress is positioned through a similar sequence of steps to place the patient directly into a wheel chair.

A wheel chair with a retractable back rest, and a seat which may be uncovered to expose an opening that enables a patient in the wheel chair to use a toilet while remaining seated in the wheel chair. By actuating a switching arrangement, the patient may raise or lower the back rest to enable the person to be transferred with ease to a bed. A motor operated device may be actuated by the switching arrangement for uncovering an opening in the seat of the wheel chair and the latter may be wheeled directly over a conventional toilet bowl by motors operated selectively through the switching arrangement actuatable by the patient.

Wheel chair arrangement

An arrangement mountable on the rim of a bidet receptacle or a toilet for providing bidet applications and hygienic cleansing in conjunction with the use of the toilet. Brackets are fastened to the rim of the toilet and carry a pivoted arm on which are mounted a water spray head and a dry air head. These heads are moved over selected areas of the opening of the receptacle or toilet. The arm may be rotated, tilted, and slid to cover the area of the receptacle opening. The arm may also be manipulated manually or by mechanical means in accordance with the cleansing requirements of the user.
