Step stool and method of use
A bed step stool for assisting a user into and out of bed comprises a first support to be disposed closer to a head of the bed; a second support to be disposed closer to a foot of the bed; a step assembly supported between the first support and the second support; a ramp coupled to the step assembly; the step assembly to enable the user to step thereon for assisting the user into and out of the bed, wherein the first support and the second support define an unobstructed pathway for entry and exit with respect to the bed and the bed step stool that is perpendicular with respect to the sides of the bed whereby the user goes between the first support and the second support, up the ramp, onto the step assembly, and off the step assembly without any obstruction.
TRANSFER ASSIST PULL HANDLES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
Specifically positioned handlebars integrated into a structure, such as armrests, wheelchairs, commodes, beds or other assistive device structures, wherein the handles extend from the structure and allow the user to pull themselves into a standing position with less assistance from a third party.
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL ADJUSTABLE CHAIR BED
The present disclosure discloses a multi-directional adjustable chair bed, including a bedstead and a bed plate group, the bed plate group being capable of moving between a bed head and a bed tail of the bedstead by means of sliding fit between a framework of the bed plate board and the bedstead; a first electric telescopic rod, a fixed end of which is mounted on the bedstead and an extending end of which is telescopic in a lengthwise direction of the bedstead, an extending stroke of the extending end including a first stroke and a second stroke; and a hip connection member rotatably arranged on a hip bed plate of the bed plate group and hinged to the extending end of the first electric telescopic rod.
