Abstract

A bed featuring a motorized foot support. When the user wishes to stand up from lying down or sitting, the motorized foot support moves toward the head of the bed until it reaches the user's feet. When the user is brought into standing position, motorized foot support starts to come down so that the feet of the user are in close proximity to ground level.

Claims

32 received by the International Bureau on 28 June 2007 (28.06.07)AMENDED CLAIMS
1. A multi-position support apparatus able to change its angular position comprising: a back support, a seat, at least one leg support, and at least one movable foot support; wherein, said at least one movable foot support moves approximately towards the head of said multi-position support apparatus when said user wishes to stand up from lying down or reclining or sitting, and said at least one movable foot support is approximately touching the ground when said user is standing up.
2. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one movable foot support moves approximately towards the head of said multi-position support apparatus until it approximately reaches the user's feet, and said foot support comprises a sensor.
3. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 2 wherein said sensor is a pressure sensor, whereby said pressure sensor measures the intensity of the resistance from the user's legs.
4. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus is covered by a mattress.
5. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 4 wherein said at least one movable foot support is a motorized movable foot support that is connected to an operating engine through slots in said mattress.
6. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one movable foot support is a motorized movable foot support that is connected to an operating engine using at least one arm-like extension.
7. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus further comprises:
(a) a multi-position support apparatus base,
(b) at least one hand support, and
(c) an integrated toilet.
8. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus comprises:
(a) at least one engine to change said multi-position support apparatus angular position, and
(b) at least one control system, whereby said at least one control system is controlling said at least one engine and said at least one movable foot support, 33
whereby said at least one control system prevents said user from getting to an angular position from which said user is able to fall forward from said multi-position support apparatus.
9. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 8 wherein said user controls said multi-position support apparatus by using controlling means.
10. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 8 comprising two engines to change said multi-position support apparatus angular position and said control system allows said user to operate each engine separately.
11. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 8 wherein said at least one movable foot support is at least one motorized movable foot support which comprises a sensor placed about said at least one motorized movable foot support, whereby said sensor detects objects and prevents said at least one motorized movable foot support from crushing them.
12. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 8 wherein said back support comprises a sensor placed about said back support, whereby said sensor detects objects and prevents said back support from crushing them.
13. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus is a parallelogram-based multi-position support apparatus.
14. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein the length of said multi-position support apparatus is adjusted to the height of said user.
15. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least one part of said multi-position support apparatus is a floating part, whereby the at least one floating part enables said multi-position support apparatus to move according to the motion of said user .
16. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 further comprising at least one device for entering an emergency response operation.
17. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 further comprising customized operational parameters setting and saving means.
18. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus is adjustable between lying, reclining, and standing positions, whereby said multi-position support apparatus is generally vertical in said standing position.
19. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus is adjustable between reclining and standing positions.
20. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus is adjustable between sitting and standing positions.
21. The multi-position support apparatus of claim 1 wherein said multi- position support apparatus further comprises wheels, whereby said wheels enable said multi-position support apparatus to move.
