Claims20
A bed rest providing body support for a bed having a vertical axis and a mattress, the bed rest comprising:
- an exterior frame configured to fit proximate to the mattress and extending along a vertical axis parallel to the vertical axis of the bed, said exterior frame having a grooved member having a series of locking ports extending along said vertical axis;
- a lift assembly having a top brace and proximate to said exterior frame, said lift assembly having a locking assembly comprising:
- at least one locking member connected to said lift assembly, said locking member connected to a biasing knob, whereby said biasing knob motivates said locking member to engage said at least one grooved member thereby securing said lift assembly into a deployed position,
- said lift assembly configured to move along said vertical axis of said exterior frame from an undeployed position with said top brace proximate to said frame to said deployed position with said top brace positioned distally from said frame and held in said deployed position by said locking member engaging said one of said series of locking ports;
- and
- an adjustable ramp configured to extend from said lift assembly, said ramp assembly comprising a multitude of planks having varying widths and hingably connected to each other and configured to move from an undeployed position parallel to said vertical axis of said frame to a deployed position with at least one of said multitude of planks proximate to said top brace of said lift assembly and at least one of said multitude of planks deployed at angle to the mattress in front of said lift assembly.

A bed rest providing body support for a bed having a vertical axis and a mattress, the bed rest comprising:
- an exterior frame configured to fit proximate to the mattress and extending along a vertical axis parallel to the vertical axis of the bed, said exterior frame having a series of locking grooves extending along said vertical axis;
- a lift assembly having a top brace and proximate to said exterior frame, said lift assembly having a locking assembly configured to engage one of said series of locking grooves thereby securing said lift assembly into a deployed position;
- and
- an adjustable ramp configured to extend from said lift assembly, said ramp assembly comprising a multitude of planks having varying widths and hingably connected to each other and configured to move from an undeployed position parallel to said vertical axis of said frame to a deployed position with at least one of said multitude of planks proximate to said top brace of said lift assembly and at least one of said multitude of planks deployed at angle to the mattress in front of said lift assembly.
