Abstract
A bed apparatus with an urinal comprises a bed frame placed with a cushion unit thereon, a cover pivotally provided at an opening formed at the cushion unit, a urinal slidably held along the longitudinal direction of the bed frame and mounted with a guide frame along the sliding direction thereof, and a shielding unit pivotally provided to be urged in a upright direction at the top end of the urinal and normally held in horizontal state underneath the cushion unit. The bed apparatus further comprises a wire provided at both ends with stops engageable with the surface faced with a pair of tong pieces projected from the guide frame or the urinal and with a tension spring extending between both ends of the tong pieces, a driving source for reciprocatingly driving the urinal together with the guide frame through the wire, and a connecting rod connected at one end thereof to the cover and at the other to the guide frame for driving the guide frame via the wire to pivot the cover toward the lower side of the bed frame when the urinal faces the opening, thereby releasing the opening.
