Abstract
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.
