ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a passive restraining device for hospital bed occupants that envelopes the bed mattress and the raised side rails and reduces the risk of the occupant of the hospital bed from falling to the floor. This is useful with debilitated, confused or patients recovering from injury or illness. The passive restraining device is comprised of a rectangular piece of fabric with two parallel longer sides, and two parallel shorter sides, with one of the shorter sides comprised of a first portion of a zipper fastener, adapted to cooperate with a second portion of a zipper fastener, the second portion being located on the other of the shorter sides, a portion of the rectangular piece of fabric being positioned under the mattress of a hospital bed, and remaining portions of the piece of fabric being elevated above the left and right side rails sufficiently to avoid contact with a user reclining on the mattress, the first and second portions of the zipper fastener being releasably connected to each other, to thereby define a tubular structure, that passively restrains a user of the bed without touching the user.
