ABSTRACT:
A shelf construction for use with an elevating type of hospital bed is disclosed. The shelf construction includes an upper bracket having a depending flange for removably resting upon the rail of the bed. A shelf is pivotally interconnected with the bracket through front and rear links to permit angular adjustment of the shelf relative to changes in angularity of the rail to thereby maintain the shelf in level orientation. One of the links is provided with an elongated, longitudinally aligned slot to facilitate the angular adjustment of the shelf relative to the upper bracket. In a second embodiment of the invention, the shelf and the upper bracket are affixed in a preselected angular offset relationship to allow the shelf to be angularly offset from the rail of the bed.
