| 20080283329 | MOTORIZED TRACTION DEVICE FOR A PATIENT SUPPORT - A patient support including a traction device for powered movement of the patient support. The traction device includes a storage position and a use position. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090049612 | LATERALLY ROTATING PATIENT SUPPORT APPARATUS - A patient support apparatus comprises a lower frame, a lift mechanism, a drive mechanism, and an upper frame. The lower frame includes a lift drive configured to at least one of expand and contract the lift mechanism. The lift mechanism is pivotably coupled with the lower frame to rotate about a rotational axis. A drive mechanism is coupled between the lift mechanism and the lower frame. The drive mechanism is configured to rotate the lift mechanism about the rotational axis. The upper frame is supported on the lift mechanism and responsive to the rotation of the lift mechanism to rotate a patient about the rotational axis. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090307844 | Transport Apparatus - An apparatus comprises a frame and a transport assembly supporting the frame. The transport assembly is configured to selectively move relative to the frame between a transport position and a brake position. A portion of the frame frictionally engages a portion of the transport assembly in the brake position to affect a brake application that resists the transportation of the frame. The portion of the frame is disengaged from the portion of the transport assembly in the transport position to allow for transportation of the frame. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100146705 | PATIENT-SUPPORT APPARATUS WITH A LOCKING DECK SECTION - A patient-support apparatus includes a patient-support deck movable from a use position to a stowed position. The patient-support deck is configured to engage receivers of the patient-support apparatus to support the deck in a cantilevered configuration. The patient-support deck may be secured to the patient-support apparatus by a locking mechanism. A storage structure is configured to support the patient-support deck in a stowed position. The storage structure is configured to deflect under load to prevent damage to the storage structure or patient-support deck. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100223728 | Height Adjustable Bed with a Lift Chain Assembly and Components Thereof | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100275375 | BIRTHING BED LIFT OFF FOOT SECTION - A patient-support apparatus includes receivers for supporting a patient-support deck. The patient-support deck is configured to engage the receivers to support the deck in a cantilevered configuration. The patient-support deck may be secured to the patient-support apparatus by a locking mechanism. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110072584 | CABLE CONDUIT FOR HOSPITAL BED - A patient-support apparatus has a frame including a pair of laterally spaced apart first and second rails and a set of cross members interconnecting the first and second rails. The first and second rails each terminate near a head end and a foot end of the patient-support apparatus. A patient support platform includes at least one pivotable deck section and is carried by the frame. A cable conduit is coupled to the set of cross members and extends parallel with the first and second rails. The cable conduit supports a plurality of electrical cables that extend between the head end and foot end of the patient-support apparatus. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110102181 | BED EXIT LIGHTING - A person-support apparatus includes a frame, a plurality of sensors, and a controller. The plurality of sensors are configured to determine a person's position relative to the frame. The controller is operatively coupled to the sensors. The controller determines whether an exit condition has been met. A light source is operatively coupled to the controller. The light source is activated by the controller when the controller determines that the exit condition has been met. | 05-05-2011 |
