Benefits of technology

[0003] The bed according to the present invention greatly distinguishes from commercially available beds, since it allows a patient to comfortably access the bed, to easily seat with different inclinations of the front bed portion supporting the patient trunk and of the bed rear portion supporting the patient legs.
[0004] Likewise, the subject improved bed allows the patient to easily jump out of the bed in a fully autonomous manner, without any efforts.
[0009] On the contrary, the improved bed according to the present invention allows the patient to operate devices for autonomously raising the patient, in a gradual manner, to arrange said patient at an upright position, at the small rear side of said bed.
[0010] Thus, the patient can access the bed, and leave it, in a fully autonomous manner, without requiring the help of sanitary personnel.

Problems solved by technology

Actually, in such a case, an uncontrolled effort, even if very small, would be susceptible to cause pain to the patient and reopen inner or outer wounds.

Embodiment Construction

[0018] With reference to the number references of the above mentioned figures, the improved bed according to the present invention comprises a bottom or lower framework 1, supporting by supporting wheels 2 and including a plurality of fixed uprights 3 supporting pivot pins 4 to which arms of a T shape leverage 5 are anchored.

[0019] Said arms 5 comprises, at their other end portions, further pivot pins 6, which are applied to the arms 7 rigid with a top or upper framework 8.

[0020] Said upper or top framework 8 comprises a cross bar 9, of curved and saddle configuration, which is welded to the two side main cross elements 10 and 11 of the top framework 8.

[0021] The cross bar, of saddle configuration, 9 supports an actuator device 12, preferably electrically operated, and including a rod 13 which can perform a displacement of about 20 cm.

[0022] Said rod 13 is pivoted to the middle portion of the framework 14 supporting a metal net or bed base 15 on which a mattress is applied.

Abstract

An improved raisable and adjustable bed, designed for facilitating a patient to access the bed and move away therefrom, is characterized in that said bed comprises a bottom framework, a top framework, and a supporting framework, for supporting a bed base or net including mutually hinged separated portions, actuator means, adapted to be operated by the bed user, for arranging said separated portions at different positions to allow the user to autonomously raise, in a gradual manner, and to assume different slanted positions.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an improved raisable and adjustable bed, to allow a patient to easily access the bed, or move away therefrom. [0002] A plurality of patient beds, allowing to adjust the patient positions, to allow said patient to easily raise his / her trunk and / or legs, are already known. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The bed according to the present invention greatly distinguishes from commercially available beds, since it allows a patient to comfortably access the bed, to easily seat with different inclinations of the front bed portion supporting the patient trunk and of the bed rear portion supporting the patient legs. [0004] Likewise, the subject improved bed allows the patient to easily jump out of the bed in a fully autonomous manner, without any efforts. [0005] The above mentioned characteristics would be very important for patients which have just subjected to surgical operations. [0006] Actually, in such a case, an uncontr...
