Abstract
A bed assist bar includes an undercarriage and a mid-frame attached to the undercarriage. A handle bar is selectively pivotable, using a twist-lock mechanism sub-assembly, between a first position locking the handle bar in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the mid-frame and a second position locking the handle bar being in a substantially orthogonal orientation relative to the mid-frame.
Claims20
A bed assist bar, comprising:
- an undercarriage;
- a mid-frame attached to the undercarriage;
- and
- a handle bar that is selectively pivotable between a first position locking the handle bar in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the mid-frame and a second position locking the handle bar being in a substantially orthogonal orientation relative to the mid-frame.
1 more element
A bed assist bar, comprising:
- an undercarriage;
- a handle bar;
- and
- a mid-frame coupled between the undercarriage and the handle bar;
- wherein the handle bar is selectively pivotable relative to the mid-frame between a first locked position and a second locked position oriented substantially orthogonally with the first locked position.
2 more elements
A bed assist bar, comprising:
- a handle bar comprising a single stem extending distally from the handle bar;
- a mid-frame comprising another single stem extending distally from the mid-frame and engaging the single stem extending distally from the handle bar;
- and
- a twist-lock mechanism sub-assembly coupled to the single stem extending from the handle bar and to the another single stem extending from the mid-frame and facilitating a selective pivotability of the handle bar relative to the mid-frame between a first position locking the handle bar in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the mid-frame and a second position locking the handle bar being in a substantially orthogonal orientation relative to the mid-frame.
