A carriage having a seat support is carried by the frame, mounted with wheels engaging the side frame members to translate from a first position through a range progressing toward the head end to a fully translated position. An upper body support is rotatably connected to the carriage and carries a mattress support. At least one telescoping rotation strut is attached at a first end and rotates through an axle pivotally attached to the side frame members. The telescoping rotation strut engages at a second end the upper body support. At least one fixed length rotation arm is carried at a first end by a rotating tube and pivotally attaches to the upper body support at a second end. The rotating tube is mounted on wheels constrained in a track and translates laterally in the track to contact a track end proximate the head end of the frame at a termination of a first range of motion. The telescoping strut approaches a vertical orientation and transfers reaction forces resulting from translation of the carriage to the fixed length rotation arm, whereupon the telescoping rotations struts extend.

Field
This invention relates generally to the field of adjustable beds and more particularly to a structure for an articulating bed having a compact actuation system incorporating a two stage lifting mechanism in an upper body support section employing combined fixed length rotating arms and cooperating telescoping struts actuated by a wall-hugger carriage. A scissored leg portion actuating mechanism and an automatic head tilt system complete the structure.
Description of the Related Art
Articulating beds have long been used in hospital and healthcare facilities to allow positioning of a patient in a reclining position, sitting position, elevated leg position or combinations of these positions. General usage of articulating beds has been rapidly expanding due to the comfort and convenience available from adjusting the bed to desired positions for reading, general relaxation or sleeping.
The mechanical structure and drive mechanisms for such articulating beds must be able to support the weight of both a mattress and the occupant. Due to the size, weight, fabrication materials and configuration of the mattress and supporting structure, maintaining rigidity in the system may also be challenging. Typical articulating beds provide an upper body positioning element and a thigh and lower leg positioning element either individually active or with combined actuation. Articulation of the support elements requires actuators which are typically large and require significant angular orientation for leverage and to avoid “dead spots” created by zero angular leverage or overcenter conditions. These typical constructions are bulky with an outdated appearance. They also require bulky packaging which leads to transportation inefficiencies.
However, designs of modern bedding require a reduced thickness profile in side support elements that exposes the actuation system to view. The exposure of the actuation system limits the utility for the adjustable bed to be placed within a variety of bed furniture pieces and can still require bulky packaging
It is therefore desirable to provide an articulating bed having a compact profile actuation system adapted to be contained within a reduced thickness profile side support.
The embodiments disclosed herein overcome the short-comings of the prior art by providing an articulating bed incorporating a support frame with a head end, a foot end and having side frame members. A carriage having a seat support is carried by the frame, mounted with wheels engaging the side frame members to translate from a first position through a range progressing toward the head end to a fully translated position. An upper body support is rotatably connected to the carriage and carries a mattress support. At least one telescoping rotation strut is attached at a first end and rotates through an axle pivotally attached to the side frame members. The telescoping rotation strut engages at a second end the upper body support whereby translation of the carriage from the first position compressively urges the upper body support against the telescoping rotation struts thereby rotating the at least one telescoping rotation strut and upper body support during a first range of motion of the carriage. At least one fixed length rotation arms is carried at a first end by a rotating tube and pivotally attaches to the upper body support at a second end. The rotating tube is mounted on wheels constrained in a track and translates laterally in the track during the first range of motion and contacts a track end proximate the head end of the frame at a termination of the first range of motion. The telescoping struts approach a vertical orientation at a termination of the first range of motion transferring reaction forces resulting from translation of the carriage to the fixed length rotation arms, whereupon the telescoping rotations struts extend through a second range of motion of the carriage to fully articulate the upper body support section with the carriage in the fully translated position.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood by reference to the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
Embodiments shown in the drawings and described herein provide an actuation system for an articulating bed which may be implemented in a compact vertical space to present a minimum profile for modern bed designs. Referring to the drawings, FIG. 1 FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrates an exemplary embodiment of an adjustable bed 8 incorporating the ultra-compact profile actuation system with the articulating elements of the bed in an unarticulated position. As seen in FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2 , in the unarticulated position, a frame 10 carries a translating carriage 12 having a seat support section 14 on which a flexible mattress support 15 is attached. The flexible mattress support and interconnection to the upper body support may be as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/946,970 having a filing date of Jul. 19, 2013 and entitled ARTICULATING BED WITH FLEXIBLE MATTRESS SUPPORT issued as U.S. Pat. No. 8,910,328 on Dec. 16, 2014 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. While described herein with respect to a flexible mattress support, rigid support sections for the upper body, seat, thigh support and lower leg support may be employed in alternative embodiments. Carriage 12 is supported on the frame by a plurality of wheels 25 engaged in side frame members 31. An upper body support section 16 is actuated by translation of the carriage 12 toward a head end rail 21 of the frame. The carriage 12 is moved with a first actuator 13 engaged between the carriage and a foot end rail 11. Extension of the first actuator 13 urges the carriage 12 toward the head end of the bed from a first unarticulated position to a second fully articulated position. Motion of the carriage during a first range initially engages a first set of telescoping rotation struts 18, attached at a first end to a rotating axle 19 and reacting in compression to the translational motion of the carriage, to rotate about the axle 19 beginning rotation of the upper body section 16 about hinges 17 attached to the carriage 12 as seen in FIG. 3 . A set of fixed length rotation arms 20 is carried at a first end by a rotating tube 22 mounted with wheels 23 for initial lateral translation in a track 24 carried within side frame members 29, with translation of the carriage in the first range of motion. Upon reaching the extent of the track 24 at the head end, the fixed length rotation arms 20 are engaged in compression and with rotation of tube 22 contribute to the further rotation of the upper body section 16. The second end of the telescoping rotation struts 18 and second end of the fixed length rotation arms 20 are commonly pinned at rotation points 26 in frame members 27 of the upper body support section 16 for the embodiment shown. As the telescoping rotation struts 18 approach a vertical orientation, reaction forces to of translation of the carriage are fully assumed by the fixed length rotation arms 20 and the telescoping rotations struts 18 extend through in a second range of motion of the carriage to fully elevate the upper body support structure as shown in FIG. 4 . The configuration of the actuating components, namely the actuator 13, telescoping rotation struts 18 and fixed length rotation arms 20, allows the actuating components to be masked within a vertical profile 29 of the frame 10 and upper body support section 16 (best seen in FIG. 2 ) with the bed in the first unarticulated position. This allows the minimum profile for the overall frame and articulating structure of the bed desired in modern designs.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and best seen in FIG. 7 , a tension link 50 is rotatably attached to rotating tube 22 at a first end and attached to a lateral tube 52 at a second end. The lateral tube 52 is attached to a first end of head tilt levers 54 which rotate about pivot attachments 55 on upper body support 16. The head tilt levers are attached at a second end to head bar 56. As the rotating tube 22 reaches the extent of track 24 and fixed length rotation arms 20 are placed in compression during the second range of motion of the carriage 12, tension link 50 causes rotation of the head tilt levers 54 through lateral tube 52 thereby urging the head bar 56 to additionally lift the head of the mattress support 15 from the upper body support section 16.
As seen in FIG. 5 a second actuator 30 is attached to the foot end of the carriage 12 at a first rotation point 32 at a head of the actuator and a second rotation point 33 at a first end of a first leg 36. Upon extension of an actuator rod 38, the first leg 36 is placed in compression to react at a second end at a rotation point 34 on the carriage 20. A second leg 40 is attached at a first end to the second rotation point 33 on the actuator and at a second end to a third rotation point 41 on a thigh support section 42. Compression of the first and second legs between rotation point 34 and rotation point 41 causes first leg 36 and second leg 40 to cooperatively rotate upward. Second leg 40 is attached at the second end to the third rotation point 41 on the thigh support section 42 which rotates about hinges 43 attached to the carriage 12 as see seen in FIG. 6 . The second actuator 30, first leg 36 and second leg 40 are also shielded within the vertical profile with the thigh support in an unrotated position (as best seen in FIG. 5 ). Fixed length reaction rods 44 pivotally attached to the carriage 12 at rotation point 47 and flexible mattress support 15 with brackets 48 cause relative rotation between the portion 45 of the flexible mattress support engaged by the thigh support section 42 and a lower leg support portion 46 (both shown slightly displaced from contact for clarity of the components). For the embodiment shown, rotation point 47 is an axle of the foot end wheels 25 of the carriage 12. A distal portion 49 of the thigh support section 42 is arcuate to contour the flexible mattress support in the elevated position as seen in FIG. 6 .
Having now described various embodiments of the invention in detail as required by the patent statutes, those skilled in the art will recognize modifications and substitutions to the specific embodiments disclosed herein. Such modifications are within the scope and intent of the present invention as defined in the following claims.
