ABSTRACT:
A hospital bed has a horizontally extending edge portion on a frame, the frame supporting a mattress with an upwardly facing patient support surface. A collapsible side rail has an elongate top rail and a plurality of arms each supported at one end on the frame for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis and supported at the opposite end on the elongated member for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis parallel to the first pivot axis, the first and second pivot axes each extending at an acute angle with respect to each of a horizontal reference plane, a vertical reference plane perpendicular to the edge portion, and a vertical reference plane parallel to the edge portion. In a retracted position, the entire side rail is disposed lower than and laterally inwardly of the edge portion. In a variation, a member such as an IV pole is supported on the bed frame for pivotal movement about a pivot axis which extends at an acute angle to each of the three reference planes.
