The patient support apparatus may include a cover for covering the through opening and which is mounted at the barrier body.
Claims18
A patient support apparatus comprising:
- a deck for supporting a mattress thereon;
- a barrier mounted relative to said deck, said barrier having a barrier body, said barrier body having opposed first and second outer sides, a barrier outer perimeter, and a through opening extending there through from said first outer side to said second outer side;
- a cover for covering said through opening and being mounted at said barrier body, said cover including a first panel and a second panel, said first panel having an outer surface forming a patient facing surface and having a first panel outer perimeter, said second panel having a second panel outer perimeter and an outer surface forming an outwardly facing surface of said barrier when mounted to said barrier body, and said first panel and said second panel being joined together by a fastener, wherein said fastener does not engage said barrier body;
- and
- said first panel including a first flexible lip that defines a first outermost flexible perimeter edge of said first outer perimeter of said first panel, said second panel including a second flexible lip that defines a second outermost flexible perimeter edge of said second panel outer perimeter of said second panel, said first and second flexible lips being configured such that said first and second outermost flexible perimeter edges engage opposed sides of said barrier body adjacent said through opening.

- a deck for supporting a mattress thereon;
- a barrier mounted relative to said deck, said barrier having a barrier body, said barrier body having opposed first and second outer sides, a barrier outer perimeter, and a through opening extending there through from said first outer side to said second outer side, wherein said barrier body includes a mounting location configured to receive an electronic device;
- a removable cover for covering said through opening and being mounted at said barrier body, said cover including a first panel and a second panel, said first panel having an outer surface forming a patient facing surface and having a first panel outer perimeter, said second panel having a second panel outer perimeter and an outer surface forming an outwardly facing surface of said barrier when mounted to said barrier body, and said first panel and said second panel being joined together by a fastener, wherein said fastener does not engage said barrier body;
- and
- wherein said second panel includes an opening sized to receive and support an electronic device therein, wherein said removable cover is configured to cover the mounting location of the barrier body configured to receive the electronic device, such that the electronic device is instead supported by the second panel, wherein a space is provided between the first and second panels and corresponds at least in part to a region associated with the through opening, and wherein cabling for the electronic device is routable in the space between the first and second panels toward the mounting location of the barrier body previously configured to receive the electronic device.
