ABSTRACT:
A convertible wheel chair/bed for paralyzed invalids comprises a support on which the invalid rests, the support comprising a plurality of support segments which define a support surface. The support segments can be moved simultaneously so the parts of the skin which were in contact with some support segments are relieved from pressure and exposed to air so that perspiration on that portion of the skin can evaporate, while other parts of the skin of the invalid are engaged and supported by support segments.
