ABSTRACT:
The invention is a new hospital bed having a lower frame or dolly, an upper frame or mattress support, and a middle frame comprising two longitudinal beams, a head end, a foot end and a central section. The head end is formed by a single "U" shaped tube which joins the beams, holds a head board, supports the side rails, and provides recesses for IV tube support rods; the foot end is formed by a single channel having similar and additional functions as the head end; and the central section of the middle frame includes a pair of wing-like plates which form a part of and provide the principal support for the upper frame. The total number of components of the bed is substantially reduced by the design of these components to serve multiple functions, which conserves material, reduces expense, and allows for easier repair and adjustment. Drive mechanisms cause the middle frame to rise or descend, the head end and foot end to tilt upward and downward, and the upper frame to bend, thereby tilting the head, thigh and leg sections independently.
