An invalid bed includes a frame and an overhead support structure which provides an elevated diagonally extending support surface for a pivot arm. The pivot arm is pivotally anchored to a corner post and extends over and is supported by the support surface. The pivot arm swings from a position at the side of the bed frame to its center and includes a strap which an invalid can grasp for elevating himself and swinging onto or out of the bed.

Invalid bed

A height adjustable table adapted for wheelchair use includes a top member and depending end panels defining channel structure for telescopingly receiving leg structures at the ends of the top member. An actuator includes an extendable and retractable rod which is connected to the leg structures by flexible cables which are reeved over pulleys. Extension and retraction of the rod results in raising and lowering of the top member and end panels with respect to the leg structures. Readily accessible hand controls are positioned for easy access by the user for raising and lowering the top member. An adjustable control automatically limits the maximum height of the top surface with respect to the leg structures.
