A bed with a movable side barrier comprising a barrier element and a body is disclosed. The barrier element is associated with a deformable parallelogram mechanism hinged to a frame of the bed, said mechanism includes a deployment bar hinged between two parallel arms, and the barrier element is constrained to slide along vertical guide means carried by the body.

Patient bed with a retractable side barrier

A bed is disclosed having a retractable side barrier that is retractable by moving in rotation and in translation, and that is controllable using one hand only, by means of a handle incorporated into the barrier. The barrier element is associated with a deformable-parallelogram mechanism including a deployment bar provided with a cam profile with which a latch co-operates that is actuated by a handle in order to release it from said cam profile, said latch co-operating with abutments of said cam profile to define at least one stable position for said deformable-parallelogram mechanism.

Bed having a retractable side barrier movable to multiple predetermined positions

A bed with a movable side barrier comprising a main barrier element and a bottom extender is disclosed. The main barrier element is associated with a deformable parallelogram mechanism hinged to a frame of the bed, said mechanism includes a deployment bar hinged between two parallel arms, and the bottom extender is attached to the deployment bar via a horizontally-sliding connection and is constrained to slide along vertical guide means carried by the main barrier element.
