Description

Articulated bed with perimeter fence.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a bed articulated with perimeter fence.

Background of the invention

Currently there are known articulated beds with  tibial, femoral, seat and backrest sections and, optionally, headboard, which provide optimal user comfort when allow to adapt diverse positions. Some of these beds, such as protected by applicant in utility model number 200102450, have a section of sliding and cable-backed backrest for  produce an effective lengthening of the bed to the bed base when rising and prevent the mattress protruding superiorly.

On the other hand side fences are also known of security for beds, generally usable in centers medical or geriatric, that protect sick people from falling or greater.

The problem with these fences is that they fit the fixed structure of the bed frame, and not the sections articulated, so its usefulness in hospital beds or Geriatric is compromised when, by raising the backrest or femoral section, the fence does not rise and the user is left without lateral protection, being able to fall, which supposes a inconvenience that is corrected with the use of the bed of the invention.

Description of the invention

The bed of the invention has a constitution optimal, since it is articulated favoring user comfort, and assemble a perimeter fence that moves with the sections articulated, protecting at all times against falls, which the It makes it very suitable for hospital or geriatric use.

According to the invention, the bed comprises a base or frame to which different articulated sections are fixed, especially a tibial section, another femoral, another seat and another backup, being able to incorporate another header.

These sections, especially the backup section,  they are constituted by lateral stringers and slats of support of the mattress, and the extreme sections also incorporate crossbars ends that relate the lateral stringers to each other. The stretch backrest can be articulated directly to the seat section, or well slider to the base for, by means of braces, produce in an effective lengthening of the bed when the backrest, so that the mattress does not protrude superiorly.

The improvement proposed by the invention consists in fix on some of the lateral stringers constituting the different articulated sections, and especially in the sections of backrest, rotating ball joints in a vertical plane, to which two connecting rods are coupled, which at their free end are coupled to other self-locking and manually unlockable ball joints, too rotating in a vertical plane, which are in solidarity with a fence vertical perimeter.

The kneecaps in solidarity with the fence are self-locking in at least three positions: a lower one collection, which allows you to get on and off the bed comfortably, another intermediate in which its upper end is noticeably flush with the upper face of the mattress and provides some support lateral to it, and another elevated and deployed in which it excels frankly on the top surface of the mattress and protects from lateral falls to the occupant of the bed.

Brief description of the drawings

Figure 1 shows a view of the bed of the invention.

Description of a practical embodiment of the invention

The bed 1 of the invention comprises a base 2 on which different articulated sections are mounted, especially a tibial section 3, another femoral 4 another central 5 of seat, other backrest 6 and other optional header, mounting the back section along its end adjacent to the seat section Sliding on the base for cooperative braces 6a, produce an effective lengthening of the bed base when rising that prevent the mattress from protruding above the section of backrest or header.

Each of these sections includes two stringers 8 related sides by slats 9, and some also by crossbars, 9a.

In one or both lateral stringers 8 of any of the sections, and preferably in the backup section  rotating swivels 10 are fixed by jaws in a vertical plane, connecting connecting rods 11 supporting a guardrail 12 fall protection.

The handrail is also fixed by paths kneecaps 13 to connecting rods 11. Ball joints 13 are self-locking and manually unlockable to keep the handrail stabilized in at least three positions: a lower pickup, another intermediate in which it is noticeably flush with the mattress, and another high where it protrudes from the mattress and protects the falls from occupant.

To unblock the ball joints 13 one acts on small, unrepresented tabs located on the own kneecap, which facilitates the height adjustment of the fence.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the invention, as well as how to perform it in practice, should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to modifications of detail as long as they do not alter the principle fundamental.

Claims (1)

1. Articulated bed with perimeter fence, of the type that comprise a frame to which different articulated sections are fixed, especially a tibial section, another femoral, another seat and another backrest, being able to incorporate another headboard, and being constituted these sections by lateral stringers related by transverse slats and crossbars, as well as the backrest section can be mounted at its end corresponding directly to the adjacent seat section or slidingly by the action of two braces to the bed frame; characterized in that in the lateral stringers of any of the sections, especially those of the backrest section, rotating ball joints are fixed in a vertical plane, to which some connecting rods are coupled which at their free ends are coupled to other rotating ball joints in a plane vertical and self-locking in at least three positions, which support a vertical perimeter fence; The ball joints in solidarity with the fence have a manual release.
