Definitions

  • the invention relates to adjustable bed, such as a hospital bed or some other bed for patients, which comprises a frame, an at least two-part mattress support, a head end member and a foot end member which connect to the opposite ends of the frame, and the frame comprises a first main part located furthest away from the foot end member and a second main part located furthest away from the head end member, and the main parts are articulated to each other through a middle linkage system in the centre area of the frame for turning the frame alternatively to a first position, in which the first main part is at least approximately in line with the second main part in order to place the bed into a usage position, or to a second position, in which the first main part is at an acute angle to the second main part in order to place the bed in a transport and storage position
  • Such a bed is known from published patent US 6,076,210.
  • the head end member and foot end member of the bed settle horizontally with respect to the floor plane.
  • the head end member and foot end member of the bed therefore require relatively much floor space unless the members are made quite small, in which case their operation as head end member and foot end member is limited.
  • Adjustable beds are well known. They are used especially in hospitals and nursing homes. The beds used in the nursing homes are often called care beds. They can also be used at home.
  • the beds of the invention need to be moved elsewhere in the building in which they are used.
  • the beds are usually equipped with wheels, so the beds can be moved on their wheels by pushing. In such cases, the beds are in their normal usage position, and thus enable the patient to remain in the bed when the bed is moved.
  • Moving beds is difficult and time-consuming, if the move requires the bed to be disassembled, set on a transport frame (formed by the head end member and foot end member of the bed, for instance), and reassembled. However, this needs to be done occasionally, because the beds are large and do not fit into an elevator, for instance.
  • moving the bed using an elevator requires that the head end member and foot end member of the bed be detached and the bed disassembled into smaller parts. Reassembling the bed is also arduous and may be extremely difficult for some people.
  • the bed also needs to be made small when it is temporarily stored. Storing the bed in its normal usage position takes a lot of space, and often there is not much space available. Storing requires that the bed be disassembled.
  • the bed of the invention is characterized in that the head end member is articulated to the frame with a first linkage system, the foot end member is articulated to the frame with a second linkage system, and the bed comprises an elongated control means that is at its first end articulated to the first of said end members and at its second end to the main part of the frame that is located furthest away from the first member, and the control means is arranged to turn the first member with respect to the main part of the frame that is located furthest from the first member as the main parts of the frame turn relative to each other.
  • the elongated control means is preferably made up of a first control means whose first end is articulated by means of a first link to the foot end member that forms said first member, and whose second end is articulated by means of a second link to the first main part of the frame that forms the main part located furthest away from the foot end member, whereby the bed preferably also comprises a second elongated control means that comprises a first end and a second end, and the first end of the second control means is articulated by means of a first link member to the head end member and the second end of the second control means is articulated by means of a second link member to the second main part of the frame, and the second control means is arranged to turn the head end member with respect to the first main part of the frame as the main parts of the frame turn relative to each other.
  • Such an arrangement of the control means makes it possible to control both members of the bed simultaneously and to easily turn the bed into the usage position or the transport and storage position.
  • the bed preferably also comprises wheels on which the bed rests on the floor when it is turned from the usage position to the storage position or vice versa.
  • the storage position is thus also a transport position.
  • the bed preferably comprises an actuator, preferably a motor-operated telescopic element, for turning the bed from the usage position to the storage position and/or from the storage position to the usage position.
  • This actuator may also be configured to tilt the backrest of the bed, which the bed preferably has but which is not necessary in all applications.
  • the biggest advantage of the bed of the invention is that it can easily be turned from its usage position into its compact transport and storage position and vice versa without having to disassemble the bed by detaching there from its essential parts, such as the head end member and foot end member, or without having to disassemble its frame.
  • the control means of the bed also serves as a component stabilizing the bed, which reduces the forces directed to the middle link when the bed is in its usage position.
  • Figures 1 to 3 are schematic views of the bed of the invention in different positions.
  • the position in Figure 1 is the normal usage position
  • Figure 3 illustrates the storage-transport position
  • the position in Figure 2 is an intermediate position, in which the bed is when it is being turned from the position in Figure 1 to the position in Figure 3.
  • the bed of Figures 1 to 3 comprises a frame 1 marked generally with reference number 1 and made up of two main parts, i.e. a first main part 6 and a second main part 7.
  • the head end 2 and the foot end 3 are at right angles to the main parts 6, 7 of the frame, when the bed is in its usage position.
  • One end of the frame 1 has a head end member 2 and the other, opposite end has a foot end member 3.
  • the head end member 2 is by means of a first linkage system 4 fastened to the frame 1 in such a manner that the head end member may turn relative to the main part 6, see Figures 2 and 3.
  • the foot end member 3 is by means of a second linkage system 5 fastened to the frame 1 in such a manner that the foot end member may turn relative to the main part 7, see Figures 2 and 3.
  • stoppers At the opposite ends of the bed, there are stoppers (not shown), which prevent the head end member 2 from turning counter-clockwise relative to the main part 6 and the foot end member 3 from turning clockwise relative to the main part 7 from the position shown in Figure 1.
  • the main part 6 of the frame is articulated to the second main part 7 with a link 8 that may be called a middle linkage system, because it resides in the centre area of the frame 1.
  • the middle linkage system 8 is exactly at the midpoint of the frame 1 (as shown in Figure 1) or close thereto, whereby its distance from the head end member 2 is 30 to 70%, or more preferably 40 to 60% of the length of the frame 1. Due to the middle linkage system 8, the main parts 6 and 7 of the frame may be turned into an acute angle to each other, see Figure 3.
  • Reference number 9 marks a first elongated control means, which is in the form of a rod or some other rigid element, whose first end is articulated with a link 10 to the foot end member 3 and whose second end is articulated with a link 11 to the first main part 6 of the frame.
  • the purpose of the rod 9 is to keep the foot end member 3 at least approximately vertical when the bed is turned from the position of Figure 1 to the position of Figure 3 and vice versa.
  • the rod 9 forces the foot end member 3 to turn in relation to the main part 7 of the frame (i.e. positive guidance) as the main part 7 of the frame settles at different angles to the main part 6 of the frame.
  • Reference number 12 marks a second elongated control means, which is in the form of a rod or some other rigid element, whose first end is articulated by means of a link member 13 to the head end member 2 and whose second end is articulated by means of a link member 14 to the main part 7 of the frame.
  • the purpose of the rod 12 is to keep the head end member 2 at least approximately vertical and at least approximately parallel to the foot end member 3 when the bed is turned from the position of Figure 1 to the position of Figure 3 and vice versa.
  • the rod 12 forces the head end member to turn in relation to the main part 6 of the frame (i.e. positive guidance) as the main part 6 of the frame settles at different angles to the main part 7 of the frame.
  • the control means 9 and 12 make the turning of the bed stable and controlled (positive guidance) and prevent the head end member 2 and foot end member 3 from turning with respect to the main parts 6, 7 of the frame.
  • Reference number 15 indicates an actuator, which is in the form of a spindle motor - telescopic element combination, for turning the bed from the position of Figure 1 to the position of Figure 3 and vice versa.
  • the actuator 15 is at its first end articulated with a link member 16 to the head end member 2 and it is at its second end articulated with a link member 17 to the main part 6 of the frame.
  • the actuator 15 is thus arranged to lift the middle linkage system 8 upward and the foot end member 3 and head end member 2 closer to each other when the length of the actuator is increased by rotating its motor.
  • the foot end member 3 and the head end member 2 are arranged to move toward each other and away from each other in an essentially parallel manner.
  • the actuator 15 is in its collapsed position; in Figure 2, the actuator 15 is longer than in the situation of Figure 1; and in the situation of Figure 3, the actuator 15 is extended to nearly its maximum length.
  • the actuator can preferably be some other motor-operated actuator. It is also possible to replace the motor-operated actuator with a mechanical, manually operated actuator that serves as a hoist.
  • the telescope arrangement it is possible to use for instance a toothed bar for setting the main parts 6, 7 of the frame at different angles to each other.
  • the bed can also be turned with a gas spring.
  • the torque required to turn the bed is achieved when the angle ⁇ formed by a line drawn through the points of the link member 13 and 8 and a line drawn through the points of the link member 16 and 17 is sufficiently large. Because of this, the link member 17 is preferably at midpoint between the linkage system 4 and the link 8.
  • the link 11 and the second link member 14 are preferably located close to the middle linkage system on opposite sides thereof, the link member 13 is preferably located below the linkage system 4, and the link member 16 is preferably located slightly below the link member 13, and the link 10 is preferably below the linkage system 5.
  • Figures 1 to 8 show that the bed has wheels 18 to 21, as is usually the case with hospital beds and other patient beds. Due to the wheels 18 to 21, the bed can be pushed in the usage position of Figure 1 along the floor or the like, but the wheels also facilitate the turning of the bed accordion-like along the floor into the transport and storage position of Figure 3, and this can be done with only a small moving force.
  • Figure 7 shows that the bed comprises an inclinable backrest 23 that can also be called a breast board.
  • the backrest 23 can be inclined into different angles relative to the main part 6 of the frame. This requires that the backrest 23 be locked to the frame of the bed, and more exactly to the main part 6 of the frame.
  • the bed comprises locking bolts 24 or some other suitable coupling means settable in locking holes 25 (sleeves) or the like, see Figure 8.
  • the actuator 15 is arranged to move not only the backrest 23, but also the main part 6. The same actuator 15 is thus arranged to alternatively adjust the inclination angle of the backrest 23 and turn the bed into the transport and storage position.
  • Figure 8 also shows that the main parts 6 and 7 of the frame are detachably lockable with each other with corresponding locking bolt - locking hole coupling means 27, 28, for instance. The same locking bolt 24 can then be used for locking.
  • the links 4, 5, 10, 13, and 16 of the bed may all preferably be pin-to-hole links.
  • reference number 26 indicates the arm of the locking bolt 24 with which the bed can be locked into the position of Figure 6, in which it can easily be pushed on the wheels.
  • the frame may have more than two main parts.
  • the structure of the bed becomes more complex, which is, however, a disadvantage.
  • the second, rod-like control means 12 is not absolutely necessary, especially, if it is replaced with an elongated actuator 15 that controls the movement of the head end member 2 relative to the main part 6 of the frame. Should either the head end member 2 or the foot end member 3 be without control, there would be a need to hold the unsupported end member by hand when the bed is turned into its storage position.
  • both members 2, 3 be controlled by control means of a kind. It is possible to arrange the actuator 15 on the opposite half of the bed to that shown in the figures, in which case it is articulated to the foot end member 3 and the main part 6 of the frame (in which case the rod 9 is not necessary).
  • the bed does not necessarily have to have a backrest 23, but it is highly recommended and necessary in many patient beds. Although different terms (link members, links, etc.) have been used above for the numerous links of the bed (for the purpose of distinguishing them), the links may have similar constructions.
