and useful Improvements in Hospital Beds; 7
of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to hospitalbeds and w more particularlyto a novel and improved bed appliance or attachment wherebya patient may assist himself and attend to-the natural functions of the body when incapacitatedand lying in bed,
The primary object of the invention is the construction and provision of a hospital bed appliance whichdispen'ses'with thebed pan and the assistance of a nurse, said appliance having means whereby a container may be moved by the-patient toreceive the excrement and shifted to one end of the bed so that the container may be subsequently removed.
Another and very important object of the invention is the construction of a hospital bed appliance of the class above set forth which is capable of use and adapted to be installed on various types of beds, and one wherein the parts are extremely simple in construction, easily assembled, highly efficient in operation, practical and otherwise capable of being manufactured at an extremely low cost whereby its commercial possibilities are greatly enhanced.
I attain the above objects and others by the accompanying drawing showing a preferred form of the invention wherein;
Figure 11 is a. side view partly in section showing my invention as applied to a conventional type of hospital bed.
Figure 2 is a front view.
Figure 3 is a view showing the spring, mattress and sheet or cover, and
Figure at is a perspective of a mattress protecting cover. 1
Figure 5 is a plan of the receptacle supporting structur Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 5 designates the head and 6 the foot of a conventional type of hospital bed having the usual side rails 7, 8 which support the wire spring 9 and mattress 10 as clearly disclosed by Figure 1 of the drawing.
A pair of parallel longitudinally extend ing, U-shaped channel bars or rods'll, 12 con the pan l6 rests,
moved. The bowedk front 18 per curved end 22 as sh 'tion of the central guide rails,
receptacle or container supporting structure comprises a transverse, inverted U-shaped bar let having afront ledge 15 on which attaching ears 1? having the rollers 13 at their upper ends permitting the pan supporting structure of the pan supporting structure has connected thereto arearwardly extending framework l9 having braces 20', theyrear of said framework being provided with a vertical portion 21, the upper curved end 22 being connected to a sliding bar 23 and disposed so as to lie adjacent the spring'and mattress. The cross connecting" bar 14: is preferably provided with vertical actuating handles or arms 2-5 with hand grips 25 on eachside of the bed proper so that the patient may move the entire receptacle supporting structure from a position substantially centrally of the bed to the end or foot of the bed for the obvious purpose. I a
As shown, the bed is provided with a specially designed spring and mattress, the former having a hinged central closure 26 and the mattress also having a central hinged portion 27, which together with the closure 26 is normally supported by the upown. i
As the receptacle supporting structure is moved toward the head of the bed it will be readily seen that the hinged portion of the mattress and hinged closure will fall to the dotted line position and lie open. As the handles are urged forwardly the mattress and spring are closed by the receptacle supporting structure and the receptacle may be moved to the foot of the bed where it may be removed. Referring to Figures 3 and 4 it will be seen that I have also provided a "mattress and spring and by the provision of suitable stops at the foot and front porthe patient may move the receptacle supporting streeam 1 'WE m -TE-s ear-ear ass ns.
to be easily assistance of a nurse and thus thepatient parts,
may'attend to his own needs when incapacitated In the accompanying drawings, 1' have illustrated my invention embodied in one form by way of example, and which construction has been found to answer to a sat isfactory degree the results to be obtained. It would be manifest, however, that other forms of embodiment may be adopted, and that the construction may be variously changed and modified by the skilled mechanic without departing from the limits of the. inventions, Further it will be understood that the invention is not limited to any particular form o't construction in the 1 except in so far as such limitations areispecified in the subject matter being claimed: 7 =1 4 Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States LettcrsPatent is 1-. A bedapp'liance of the class described in combination with the foot and head sections, a pair ofconnecting rails between the foot and head sections, a receptacle supporting structure movable on the rails and bea guide,
neath a hinged bedspring and mattress section an element fixed on the supporting structure to open and close said section by ,slidable enga ementtherewith, and means disposed on each side of the bed whereby a patientmay slide said supporting structure to' different positions.
2. A bed appliance of the class described in combination with the foot and head sections, 21 pair of parallel connecting rails between the foot and head sections constituting a receptacle supporting structurehaving rollers operable within the rails and beneath a hinged bed spring and mattress section an element fixed on the supporting structure to open and close said section by slidable engagement therewith, and arms connected to the receptacle supporting struc ture whereby the same may be movedby a patient to different positions with respect, to the bed and themattressa In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
