Definitions

  • a bed mm o aticms in a hos ital includin mils t gh' ll llfiih'lid 52
  • U. l. astene Onzoma y to Wu 5 0 t 8 9 Sc 0cm i i for the installation of bedsteads WhlCh each have [58] Field h 5/2 bracket elements detachably supported by said rails 312/245. 6/4 34 79 1 2 with a plurality of said bedsteads so connected to the rails on a given one of said walls.
  • the present invention relates to a bed-plant for hospitals.
  • the object of the invention is obtained by designing the beds with:
  • bracket elements to be dismountably supported by the suspension means, said brackets being provided with supporting arms,
  • each one substantially comprising a bedplane with bedstead ends, and being arranged to be supported by the supporting arms of the bracket elements, and
  • a number of carriages provided with lifting means, arranged for the transportation of the bed elements and for lifting up the same from, respectively lowering them onto, the bracket elements.
  • FIG. 1 is a partly sectional side elevational view of a bed assembly in a sick-room, a bed just being installed with dashed and dotted lines indicating its final installed position,
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a carriage for the transportation of empty bed elements
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the carriage illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • each bed assembly ready for use comprises a bracket 1, according to FIG. 2 each comprising two supporting arms 2, a cross beam 3, suspension mountings 4 and a strutting element 5.
  • the suspension mountings 4 each one comprises a vertical bar 6 extending from one of the two corners connected by means of the cross beam 3, suspension hooks 7 located at the tops of said bars and attheir lower ends supporting knobs 8, which can be screwed in differential positions.
  • the strutting element 5 (not shown in FIG. 2) comprises a crosswise extending ledge and two struts 9 extending from said ledge diagonally upwards in direction towards the centre portions of the supporting arms 2. In order to provide a sidewise stay for the supporting arms 2 there are further struts 10 (FIG. 2).
  • bracket elements 1 For the suspension of the bracket elements 1 at walls of the sick-rooms and other places where patients beds should be placed horizontal rails are attached to the walls, i.e., one upper rail 11, its downwards facing U- shaped section having one flange bent to form a supportingflange (12), and a lower rail 13 of substantially T-shaped section, its web pointing away from the wall, and a second rail 14 located close to the floor, said rail being provided with a channel to receive the cross strut of the struttingelement 5.
  • Said rails 11, 13 and 14 can be fastened to walls of conventional design either directly or by mounting means adapted to the design of the wall.
  • the bed element 16 which shall rest upon the bracket element 1, is not provided with legs and comprises a bed plane 17 and two bedstead ends 18, which can be folded against the bed plane. According to need the bed elements 16 can be equipped with different kinds of means serving the purpose to raise the head or foot end, suspension means for apparatus etc. as is the case with bedsteads of conventional hospital type.
  • each carriage comprises a chas sis 21 provided with wheels 20 and a top part 22 to support the element 16.
  • the chassis 21 and the top part 22 are connected by means of hydraulic jacks 23, which by a handle 24, suitably also functioning as a pulling handle for the carriage, can be brought to raise and lower the upper part 22.
  • a bed element 16 can be transported to a predetermined bracket element 1 and be brought into position above the same, the carriage 19 thereby being introduced between the supporting arms 2, whereafter the bed element by operating the hydraulic jacks 23 can be lowered down to the position indicated with dashed and dotted lines in FIG. 1. Thereafter the carriage can be removed and be used for other transportation tasks.
  • the bedstead element now constitutes a substantially plane thin plate, and several such elements can conveniently be loaded on a single carriage 25 according to what is shown in FIGS. 3, 4.
  • the carriage 25 for this purpose is provided with a bottom plate 26 with four grooves 27 and a supporting frame 28, from the upper portion of which a number of hinged hooks 29 are extending. From FIG. 4 it is clearly evident how the bedstead elements are placed in the grooves 27 and kept in position by the hooks 29.
  • the plate 27 is provided with four wheels, two of which suitably being of the so called caster type. In the position illustrated in the figures the bed elements can be transported to the disinfection department, and four of them thus being conveyed through the disinfection tunnel and other means, it also being possible to store them in this manner.
  • the surface of the disinfection department and of the storage respectively can be reduced to one-fourth or less compared to what is required when using bedsteads of conventional design.
  • the bracket elements which do not get into any close contact with the patient, it is usually sufficient with a washing off treatment with a disinfectant.
  • the bracket elements can easily be removed for a more thorough desinfection.
  • bracket elements by means of the long rails ll, 13, 14 can be placed in any desired location along a wall provided with rails.
  • the bracket means is kept with its outer portion tilted upwards, so that the hooking means 7 can be hooked in position inside the edge of the flange l2, whereafter the bracket means is folded downwards until the supporting buttons 8 and the strutting element 5 abut against the rails 13 and 14 respectively.
  • the supporting buttons 8 and possibly also the strutting element 5 are suitably made with means of adjustment, so that distortion of the bracket element is avoided by compensation of any roughness of the floor.
  • the manner in which the bedstead elements are mounted and removed from its respective bracket element has already been mentioned in connection with the description of the carriage 19.
  • Bed-plant for hospitals comprising a plurality of suspensionmeans each comprising one upper rail having longitudinally extending grooves and one lower rail which can be fastened in horizontal position to the walls of the hospital selected for installation of bedsteads, a plurality of brackets elements dismountably supported by said suspension rails in any desired longitudinal position of the latter, said brackets being provided with supporting arms and upper hooking means provided to cooperate with edges of said longitudinally extending grooves provided on said upper rail, and lower supporting means arranged to support against said lower rail, a number of bed elements each one substantially comprising a bed-plane with bedstead ends, and being detachably supported by the supporting arms of said brackets elements, a plurality of carriages provided with lifting means, arranged for the transportation of said bed elements and for lifting up the same from, or respectively lowering them onto, said bracket elements, and a plurality, of carriages provided in said plant serving the purpose to transport separate, empty bedstead elements, and each one of said carriags having supporting means arranged to cooperate in supporting a plurality
