ABSTRACT:
A hospital bed which is convertible to a chair configuration has a serially hinged normally horizontal head panel, seat panel, thigh panel and foot panel. The foot panel has a central section and a wing section longitudinally pivoted on each lateral side of the central section. To convert the horizontal bed to the chair configuration the head panel is pivoted upwardly and the foot panel pivots downwardly between parallel rail members of the bed frame. The hinged intersection of the foot panel and the thigh panel pivots upwardly to support the patient's knees. Through sliding contact with rail members of the bed frame each wing section pivots upwardly in response to the downward movement of the central section of the foot panel. With the foot end of the foot panel pivoted downwardly between the rails of the bed frame and the head end of the foot panel pivoted upwardly to support the patient's knees and the head panel pivoted upwardly to support the patient's back, the hospital bed is converted to a chair configuration.
