Abstract
A bed includes a telescoping foot-end leg at a first end; a telescoping head-end leg at a second end opposite from the first end; a rotating frame that rotates on a lateral first axis extending between an upper portion of the foot-end leg and an upper portion of the head-end leg; and a tilting frame supported by the rotating frame. The rotating frame tilts on a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The tilting frame is configured to support the patient's entire body. The foot-end leg and the head-end leg are configured to be telescoped while the patient is on the bed such that the height of the foot-end leg is lower than the height of the head-end leg and a slope of the first axis is at least 15 degrees.
Claims17
A multi-positional bed for a patient, the multi-positional bed comprising:
- a foot-end leg, at a first end of the bed;
- a head-end leg at a second end of the bed opposite from the first end;
- a rotating frame, supported by an upper portion of the foot-end leg, and by an upper portion of head-end leg, to be rotatable on a first axis, the first axis extending between the upper portion of the foot-end leg and the upper portion of the head-end leg;
- and
- a tilting frame, supported by the rotating frame, configured to selectively tilt on a second axis, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis, wherein the tilting frame is configured to be capable of supporting the patient's entire body;
- a lower leg plate, configured to support the patient's lower legs while the patient is lying on the bed;
- a turning arm, configured to support the lower leg plate, and supported by the tilting frame, wherein the turning arm is configured to rotate both upward and downward around a third axis, wherein the third axis is parallel to the second axis and near the middle portion of the tilting frame;
- a locking system configured to lock the lower leg plate and the turning arm together on demand;
- and
- a pivot, configured to attach the lower leg plate to the turning arm and configured to allow the lower leg plate to translate rotationally around a fourth axis parallel to the second axis and passing through the pivot, wherein the fourth axis is different from the third axis;
- wherein the foot-end leg and the head-end leg are configured to be capable of being telescoped, while the patient is supported by the tilting frame, such that the height of the foot-end leg is lower than the height of the head-end leg and a slope of the first axis is at least 15 degrees, and such that the height of the foot-end leg is greater than the height of the head-end leg and the slope of the first axis is at least 15 degrees;
- wherein the rotating frame is capable of being rotated at least 30 degrees on the first axis in both a clockwise and counterclockwise direction from a flat position while the patient is lying on the bed
- wherein the rotating frame is configured to be capable, while the patient is supported by the tilting frame, of being rotated from a flat position while the patent is lying on the bed position to a position at least 30 degrees on the first axis in a clockwise direction and to a position at least 30 degrees in a counterclockwise direction from the flat position;
- wherein the rotating frame is configured to be capable of being rotated at least 30 degrees on the first axis in both a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction from a flat position, while at least a portion of the patient is on the tilting frame;
- wherein the tilting frame is configured to be capable of being tilted on the second axis by at least 60 degrees while supporting the patient;
- wherein when the lower leg plate is positioned within and parallel to the tilting frame, the lower leg plate extends from a toe-end area of the tilting frame to a middle area of the tilting frame;
- and
- wherein the lower leg plate is configured as capable of being translated rotationally, both upward and downward from a horizontal position when the locking system is active, around the third axis.
