The invention can include a frame having a horizontal support assembly including a proximal end and a distal end hingably connected so that the proximal end and the distal end can be moved from an operational position to a storage position; a vertical support assembly pivotally connected to an angled support assembly and said horizontal support assembly, said angled support assembly pivotally connected to said horizontal support assembly; a stabilizing assembly included in said frame having a first hinge member pivotally attached to a second hinge member, said stabilizing assembly biased in said operational position, said first hinge member cooperating with said second hinge member to prevent said angled support assembly from folding. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A portable collapsible field hospital bed comprising: a frame having a horizontal support assembly and a pad support assembly wherein said frame has an operational position and a storage position; a vertical support assembly pivotally attached to an angled support assembly and said horizontal support assembly, said vertical support assembly including a first vertical support assembly cross member and a second vertical support assembly cross member, said angled support assembly including a first angled support assembly cross member and a second angled support assembly cross member; a pad for supporting a patient carried by said pad support assembly; a stabilizing assembly having a first hinge member pivotally attached to said second vertical support assembly cross member and a second hinge member, said second hinge member pivotally attached to said second angled support assembly cross member, said stabilizing assembly biased in an operation position by a biasing member included in said stabilizing assembly; and, a standard having a first standard member received within a second standard member so that said first standard member and said second standard member telescope, said first standard member pivotally attached to said pad support assembly and said second standard member attached to said first angled support assembly cross member. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 including an actuator for said standard having a locked position and an unlocked position wherein in said unlocked position, said first standard member and said second standard can slide within each other to vary the overall length of said standard. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 including side rails carried by said horizontal support assembly wherein said side rails can be lowered to allow access to the pad by a patient. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The apparatus of claim 3 including angled side rail supports attached to said horizontal support assembly and pivotally attached to said side rails. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4 wherein said angled side rail supports are disposed at an angle greater than 90° to a plane perpendicular to said horizontal support assembly. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The apparatus of claim 4 including a side rail lock assembly for locking said side rail in the raised position. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein: said frame includes a proximal end and a distal end; and, a hinge pivotally connecting said proximal end with said distal end so that in said frame can be moved between said operational position and said storage position. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus of claim 7 including interlocking teeth in said hinge to provide stability to said frame when said frame is in said operational position. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 including: an accessory opening defined in said horizontal support assembly for receiving accessories; and, an IV pole accessory received in said accessory opening for support IV bags. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 including a mid-frame accessory opening for receiving an accessory and a tray removably received in said mid-frame accessory opening to provide a horizontal surface for the patient supported by the pad. ### Claim 11 A portable collapsible field hospital bed comprising: a frame having a horizontal support assembly, an operational position and a stored position; a vertical support assembly pivotally attached to an angled support assembly and said horizontal support assembly, said angled support assembly pivotally attached to said horizontal support assembly; a pad for supporting a patient carried by said pad support assembly; and, a stabilizing assembly included in said angled support assembly having a first hinge member pivotally attached to a second hinge member, said stabilizing assembly biased in said operational position by a biasing member included in said stabilizing assembly. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The apparatus of claim 11 including a lower pouch carried by said frame and disposed under said frame. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The apparatus of claim 12 wherein: said frame includes a proximal end and a distal end; a hinge pivotally connecting said proximal end with said distal end so that in said frame can be moved between said operational position and said storage position; and, interlocking teeth included in said hinge to provide stability to said frame when said frame is in said operational position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The apparatus of claim 12 including: an accessory opening defined in said horizontal support assembly for receiving accessories; and, an IV pole accessory received in said accessory opening for supporting IV bags. ### Claim 15 A portable collapsible field hospital bed comprising: a frame having a horizontal support assembly including a proximal end and a distal end hingably connected so that the proximal end and the distal end can be moved from an operational position to a storage position; a vertical support assembly pivotally connected to an angled support assembly and said horizontal support assembly, said angled support assembly pivotally connected to said horizontal support assembly; a stabilizing assembly included in said angled support assembly having a first hinge member pivotally attached to a second hinge member, said stabilizing assembly biased in said operational position by a biasing member included in said stabilizing assembly, said first hinge member cooperating with said second hinge member to prevent said angled support assembly from folding. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15 including pad support assembly that can be raised from a horizontal position to support the head or feet of a patient supported by the frame. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The apparatus of claim 16 including a pad removable connected to said pad support assembly having a proximal end and a distal end that can be interchanged about the frame. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15 including a mid-frame accessory opening for receiving an accessory. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15 including an accessory opening defined in said horizontal support assembly for receiving accessories. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15 19 including an IV pole accessory received in said accessory opening for support IV bags.
