The swiveling bed boom consists of the lower part (1), the upper part (2) and the self-erecting patient (3).

The lower part (1) is in the embodiment according to known principle of the BRAUN * see clamping rods. This means that the bed boom can be attached to the head of any bed type and, if necessary, also to the foot side. Thanks to this principle, it can also be adjusted in height. Further embodiments of the lower part result from the use of the brackets for bed gallows specially provided on the beds.

The lower part (1) ends in its upper part in a pipe journal (4) which is used to receive the upper part (2). A holder (5) is attached to the lower part (1) below the pipe journal (4) and is used to hold the centering journal (6) and the stop pin (7) are used.

At the lower end of the upper part (2) there is a segment (8) articulated. This segment (8) has several shaped holes (9), a slot (10) and a handle (11) on.

The lower part (1) of the swiveling bed boom is attached to the bed in a known manner. To complete of the bed boom, the upper part (2) is pushed over the pin (4) of the lower part (1) and thus rotatably supported, the pivoting range of the bed boom is limited by the stop pin (7) and the slot (10). The fixation of the The upper part (2) to the lower part (1) in the desired position

The centering pin (6) and the shaped holes (9) are used to adjust the upper part (2) in the In the desired position, the articulated segment (8) is raised using the handle (11) until the centering pin (6) is free. Then the upper part (2) is swiveled accordingly and locked again in the new one Fixed position.

The swiveling bed boom is operated by the patient himself. In the middle position of the bed gallows the patient has the opportunity to sit up in bed with the help of the bed gallows in order to eat and read etc. If the patient wants to get out of bed and himself bring it to the edge of the bed with the help of the swiveling bed boom, so he places the upper part (2) in the corresponding Inclined position and thus has the opportunity to stand up and move in this set direction. The swiveling bed boom offers the same advantage if the patient, for example, from a sitting position on the edge of the bed wants to go back to bed. Due to its adjustability, the device is a crucial aid and In the case of weaker patients, it even enables the person otherwise necessary to get out of bed to be dispensed with.
