Definitions

  • the present application is concerned with a table, cabinet or similar item of furniture suitable for use alongside a persons support apparatus, such as a bed for an elderly or infirm person.
  • a separate dedicated lifting apparatus such as crutches, walking sticks or walking frames can be used but these take up space next to a bed or in a room and are usually of an inappropriate height for optimal help to the person lifting himself or herself out of the bed.
  • the present invention provides a table, cabinet or similar item of furniture, as defined in Claim 1 to which reference should now be made.
  • the preferred features are defined in the dependent claims to which reference should also be made.
  • Claim 1 allows provides an aesthetically pleasing and space-saving arrangement which helps someone get themselves more easily out of bed.
  • An additional advantage of the invention is that it has less of a hospital-like appearance than the known arrangements. This has potentially important psychological and comfort impact on elderly patients in, for example, nursing homes where one is trying to create an atmosphere and feeling of being in one's home, rather than a hospital.
  • the said first side of the said upper surface is the front of the table, cabinet or similar item of furniture and said handle and said floor engaging element are disposed on the front edge of said slideable element.
  • This arrangement makes for a simple and aesthetically pleasing item of furniture.
  • the table, cabinet or similar item of furniture includes two downwardly extending floor-engaging elements.
  • the locking element is controlled by a cam arrangement on the upper proportion of the slideable element.
  • the cam arrangement includes a handle coupled to a cam follower.
  • This arrangement allows for easy operation by a person wishing to release and/or secure the slideable element.
  • movement of the handle and the cam element moves the locking element in a direction substantially perpendicular to the floor to thereby raise and lower the locking element to, respectively, release and secure the floor engaging element relative to the floor.
  • the table, cabinet or similar item of furniture is a bedside table or cabinet.
  • the table, cabinet or similar item of furniture is a drawer unit.
  • FIG. 1 A bedside table or cabinet 1 , according to one illustrative embodiment of the invention, is shown in FIG. 1 . It is based alongside the head end of a hospital, nursing home or long-term care (LTC) bed 2 .
  • LTC long-term care
  • the cabinet rests on the floor adjacent the bed (it can also be fixed to the side of the bed or a wall behind the head end of the bed).
  • the weight of the cabinet and/or any fixing to the bed or wall mean that its position is substantially fixed, or only moveable when subject to significant force (which are greater than those involved in a person lifting themselves out of the bed in the manner described below).
  • a slideable drawer element 3 is supported on drawer rails 4 (see FIG. 5 ) and capable of movement out from under the upper or top surface 5 of the cabinet.
  • the cabinet's slideable drawer element has an upwardly extending handle 6 at its front edge.
  • the handle is coupled to the top of support pillars 7 whose bottom portions 8 rest on the floor.
  • a front facing planar surface element 9 is supported between the two parallel support pillars 7 within channels 10 in the inner surface of each of the support pillars such that it can slide along the channels in the directions as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the bottom 11 of the front surface element 9 is fixed to the top of a U-shaped bracket 12 .
  • the U-shaped bracket has a rubber pad 13 fixed or coupled to its upper surface by a spring 14 which biases the rubber gripping element 13 downwards.
  • the brackets 12 and corresponding rubber pads 13 can move between an upper position (see FIG. 9a ) in which the pads 13 rest lightly on the floor and a lower position (see FIG. 9b ) in which the pads 13 are pressed down on the floor (see FIG. 9b ) with the springs 14 in a compressed state to increase the gripping action and thereby secure the slideable element 3 against movement relative to and along the floor.
  • a cam actuator element or handle 15 is pivotally mounted above the front surface element 9 .
  • a cam and cam follower arrangement (not shown) are provided such that when the cam actuator handle 15 is in the upright position (see FIG. 9b ), the front surface element 9 is pushed down to the lower position and, when it is in an angled position (see FIG. 9a ), the front surface element 9 moves to its upper position under the action of the springs 14. Movement of the handle 15 raises and/or lowers the bracket 12 and hence, respectively releases or secures the slideable drawer 3 against the floor.
  • the slideable element or drawer 3 can be disposed in a retracted position with the handle 6 substantially flush against the front of the remainder of the bedside cabinet 1 , or in an extended position (as in FIGS. 2a and 2b ) with the front edge of the drawer 3 and handle 6 located thereon separated from the front edge of the remainder of the cabinet.
  • a person wishing to lift himself or herself out of the bed can locate the slideable element 3 and its handle 6 at a position of his or her choosing alongside the bed 2 such that he or she can use it to lift themselves out of the bed. They can also access the drawer when the slideable 3 element is in its extended or open position.
  • a person wishing to lift themselves out of bed moves the cam actuator element 15 to its unlocking or angled position (as shown in FIG. 9a ) to allow movement of the slideable element 3 relative to the remainder of the fixed cabinet and the floor on which the cabinet sits.
  • the person then positions the slideable element 3 in the desired position before then allowing the cam actuator 15 to return to its upright position and thereby secure the slideable element 3 against further movement.
  • the person can now use the handle 6 arranged alongside the bed to lift themselves out of bed into an upright position or, for example, into a wheelchair or other chair located next to the bed.
  • the gripper pads 3 could be replaced by a roller or castor element which can be locked into place by movement of a pin into a ratchet or tooth arranged around the castor wheel.
  • the pin or locking element could be controlled by a cam arrangement similar to that described above in connection with the embodiments of FIGS. 6-9 b.
