Definitions

  • the sickbed is usually so designed that a head portion and/or a rear portion thereof can be adjusted to incline at different angles.
  • the inclination of the sickbed at its head portion and/or rear portion is not necessarily suitable for or meeting the requirement of all patients.
  • two tenders are required to help the patient to the toilet room. It is therefore desirable to develop a multipurpose sickbed of which the head, middle, and rear portions as well as the left and right sides can be raised or lowered, inclined or leveled, or alternately raised for air ventilation purpose through different control mechanisms.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a multipurpose sickbed, and more particularly to provide a sickbed of which the bed boards can be partially raised, lowered, inclined, and leveled through a number of control means.
  • the sickbed according to the present invention is equipped with a first control mechanism which controls the axial inclination of a head section of the bed, a second control mechanism which controls the alternate raising of movable boards of the head and a middle sections of the bed, a third control mechanism which controls the axial inclination of a rear section of the bed so that a raised bed rear board forms a footrest, a fourth control mechanism which controls the leftward or rightward inclination of a left or a right side of the head, middle, rear sections of the sickbed so that the patient on the bed may lie on side, and a fifth control mechanism which controls the descent of the middle section of the bed for the positioning of a bedpan or a urinal thereat to facilitate the convenient and comfortable excretion of the patient.
  • the multipurpose sickbed according to the present invention is characterized in that:
  • a sickbed according to the present invention is divided into three sections, namely, a head section 100, a middle section 200, and a rear section 300. All of these three sections have the same bed board structure which includes a top layer, a middle layer, and a bottom layer.
  • each section 100, 200, 300 includes a left half 110, 210, 310 and a right half 120, 220, 320.
