Definitions

  • the field of the invention concerns beds, in particular beds for hospitals or nursing homes or for care of disabled, elderly, or non-self-sufficient people.
  • This frame consists generally of one or several half-frames, hinged each other or to an external bearing structure, or supported on said bearing structure by a motion on a coulisse or other kinematic mechanisms.
  • the main function of the hinge system is that to allow, once the half-frames are tilted, to let the patient take an inclination, more frequently an inclination concerning the bust, so as to help to fulfil his different necessities, in particular that of eating.
  • a type of bed which tries to positively answer this problem is equipped with the inclination of its whole structure, following a longitudinal axis (that is, parallel to one of the longer sides); however, the inclination of the whole structure of the bed on one side or the other, by compelling the sick to rest on a side or on the other, originates a high discomfort situation and, unless the inclinations are rather considerable (which this kind of sick does not abosolutely like), does not help the decompression of tissues and helps very little the perspiration.
  • Said half-frames represent the resting plane of the mattress; they can be moved in an oscillatory way, individually and independently on one another, can take on a L-shaped or V-shaped configuration and can be stopped at any of the inclination they may take on, by means of special block devices.
  • the bearing structure of the bed adjustable in height or not, reclining etc. may be said framework itself , or may support it.
  • Said framework which articulates these two half-frames with said possibility of motion, allows to assist the chronic bedridden sick person or the general patient, thanks to the possibility of positioning him on one side, of turning him often for cleaning, to change the resting points and avoid bedsore, to change position and avoid macerations, to have him seated to eat, to improve his breathing, to train him to balance while remaining seated, for the physical wellbeing; to let him change from seated to stand-up position with a minimum help; and by using special lateral side rails, the transfer from seated to stand up position can autonomously be made by the patient himself.
  • the particular type of mattress which is preferred to be coupled to the invention is composed by a pair of half-mattresses, sewed each other along the internal upper edge, in such a way that the linking of the half-mattresses keeps the surface continuity of the mattress plane without any humps, so avoiding any stretch stresses when they are relatively inclined, and avoiding any sliding between mattress and each frame (or, by the little extent which may be possible because of a moderate abundance of cloth at the mutual sewing point which allows, besides rotation, also the reciprocal translation).
  • one or more velcro straps are provided, integral with the lower surface of each half-mattress, which hold back and trap the half-frame, consisting of a perforated wire mesh surface, when said velcro straps are coupled to a connecting velcro strap, placed on the opposite side (to that where the mattress is resting) of the wire mesh half-frame.
  • the possibility of changing the axis of rototranslation of the half-frames is granted by the possibility of using different kinetic mechanisms, coulisses, connecting rods, etc. differently configured.
  • an advantageous system composed by a gas pump operating on a lever arm hinged to the frame, which works with the opposite arm, sliding within a seat, integral with the half-frame and arranged on its lower surface, so producing a push upwards.
  • the bed can profitably be coupled to side rails, whose frames can rotate around a vertical axis, so permitting to place them and hold them rotated by 90° on the mattress or by 90° towards outside of the bed, so as to perform as an armrest to the side of a seated person or, if rotated outside, to help in the stand-up phase and in supporting the standing position.
  • Fig. 1 shows the bed as per invention in an axonometrical view from the top, with the half-frames flat on horizontal plane.
  • Fig. 2 shows the bed as per Fig.1, where the half-frame is partially rotated.
  • Fig.3 shows the bed as per Fig.1, without mattress, where both half-frames are rotated upwards.
  • Fig. 4 is a flat front view of the kinetic mechanisms of the bed as per invention, when the half-frames are on horizontal position.
  • Fig. 5 is a flat front view of the kinetic mechanisms of the bed as per invention, with a raised half-frame.
  • Fig. 6 is a flat front view of the kinematic mechanisms of the bed as per invention, with both half-frames partially raised.
  • Fig. 7 shows the bed as per Fig.2 equipped with side rails.
  • Fig. 8 shows the bed as per invention equipped with side rails opportunely arranged towards inside of the bed projection.
  • Fig. 9 shows the bed as per invention equipped with lateral side rails with a pair of them opportunely arranged towards outside of the bed projection.
  • the mattress is composed by a pair of half-mattresses 1 and 1' lying respectively on a pair of half-frames 2 and 2'.
  • Said half-mattresses 1 and 1' are sewed each other next to their longitudinal, upper and internal edge 3, so as to keep the surface continuity of a normal mattress and have a minimum stress (or even no stress when they are relatively inclined to each other, with the planes defined by their upper surface coinciding along the seam axis.
  • the half-frames 2 and 2' are supported in an oscillating way, by means of kinematic mechanisms for their movement, on a base bearing structure 4.
  • the base structure 4 is fitted with head panel 5 and foot panel (this latter not shown on drawings).
  • head panel 5 and foot panel this latter not shown on drawings.
  • An example of kinematic mechanisms of the half-frames 2 and 2' is shown in detail on figures 4, 5 and 6.
  • a kinematic mechanism composed by lever 8 with two arms, hinged to the base structure, which pushes the half-frame 2 or 2' upwards, with an arm having on its end a bushing 9, sliding within a rail 10 integral with the half-frame, the opposite arm receiving a force from a gas pump 11, pre-loaded during the horizontal realignment of the half-frame.
  • the bed as per invention has been equipped of particular lateral rails 12, which assist and emphasize the possibility of this bed to take a person, who was previously lying on the same bed, to seated position, to keep him seated and, in case, to lift him from bed to a stand-up position later on.
  • These side rails 12 appear like tubular blocks, arc shaped, hinged on their ends to the external profile of the bed. This hinge 13, with possibility of lock 14 of these ends in vertical position, permits, whenever they are not necessary, to rotate them with a 180° rotation downwards, on an position diametrally opposite to the vertical working position, to the bottom.
  • a tubular element 15 appears externally coaxial arranged, coupled in a rotary way; this tubular element supports a wing 16, overhanging.
  • This wing 16 can rotate around the post to which it is freely hinged, but there is the possibility of stopping the position by means of a locking device 17.
  • Said wing 16 looks, in the coplanar alignment position, within arc 12, like the classic, mobile side rails, usually fitted in the number of 4 to the lateral longitudinal edges of the bed.
  • the same can be very useful as armrest and as lateral restraint (either for half-frame 2 on horizontal position, where the patient is seated, or for the half-frame 2' on reclined position, to which the patient's back is resting).
  • a final arrangement of the wing 16, coplanar to the previous described, but external to vertical projection of the bed, can effectively offer a grip and support element for a patient who would, from seated position, change to the stand-up position.
