ABSTRACT:
A hospital bed with pivoting handles to be used for conveniently maneuvering the hospital bed. The handles are pivotally mounted to the bed frame at the head end of the hospital bed and can be pivoted between a generally horizontal stored position and a generally vertical operable position. Each bed handle is locked into the respective positions by a spring loaded pawl which is pivotally mounted to the bed frame. As the bed handles pivot between the operable and stored positions, the pawl rotates from a locked position to an unlocked position and then returns to the locked position as a result of the force applied by the torsion spring.
