Automatically inflatable patient transfer air mattress
Provided is an automatically inflatable patient transfer air mattress designed to enable immobile persons, such as patients with mobility difficulty, to be rapidly laid and transferred thereon in the event of a disaster or an accident, prevent an injury to the patient caused by a falling object dropping from a ceiling or any other place, and reduce impact in the case of movement via stairs. The automatically inflatable patient transfer air mattress includes a main mattress portion forming a plate shape having a predetermined thickness when charged and inflated with air, a protective cover portion provided on one side surface of the main mattress portion in a longitudinal direction, and configured to cover one surface of the main mattress portion when deployed, and a cushion wheel unit disposed on a bottom portion of the main mattress portion to absorb impact from below.
SWITCHING MEANS FOR AN ADJUSTABLE FOUNDATION SYSTEM
In one example, this disclosure describes an adjustable bed system that includes first and second adjustable foundations, at least one first motor to adjust the first adjustable foundation, at least one second motor to adjust the second adjustable foundation, a configurable device having a first state and a second state, and a central controller in communication with the device, the controller configured to receive an input representing one of the first state and the second state, the controller including a processor configured to control the at least one first motor and the at least one second motor based on the received input.
FLUID SOURCE FOR SUPPLYING FLUID TO THERAPY DEVICES
A fluid source comprises a connector assembly for connecting a fluid supply device to either a first therapy device or to a second therapy device. A controller automatically provides a first configuration of a user interface associated with a first therapy when a supply connector is operatively coupled to the first therapy device and provides a second configuration of the user interface associated with a second therapy, different than the first configuration, when the supply connector is operatively coupled to the second therapy device. A hanger assembly is provided to hang the fluid source on different support structures. The fluid source also comprises a housing with a watershed region to shed liquid away from the user interface.
INFLATION PRODUCT WITH BUILT-IN AIR PUMP
The present disclosure provides an inflation product with a built-in air pump, including an air pump (1), a connection piece (2) and an inflation product (15). The inflation product (15) includes a through hole (151) penetrating from inside to outside, the connection piece (2) is fixed at an opening of the through hole (151), the air pump (1) and the connection piece (2) are detachably connected, and the through hole (151) is provided for the air pump (1) to protrude into with a front end of the air pump (1) exposed outside the through hole (151). The front end of the air pump (1) includes an air inlet (3) in which a normally-closed switch is mounted, and an air inlet sealing cover (5) for driving the normally-closed switch (4) to be pressed down is covered on the air inlet (3).
CONTROLLING VIBRATION TRANSMISSION WITHIN INFLATION ASSEMBLIES
A housing defines a housing interior. An air pump is within the housing interior. A first set of dampers supports the air pump within the housing. The first set of dampers at least partially isolates vibration of the air pump from the housing. A second set of dampers is configured to at least partially isolate vibration of the air pump from the housing. The second set of dampers arranged in series with the first set of dampers.
Support apparatus and method with shear relief
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an apparatus and/or method involving respective sets of interleaved pressure cells, which operate to inflate and deflate independently of one another. The pressure cells further provide shear relief by deflecting along a direction of movement, such as along a shear direction of an upper surface coupled to the pressure cells. Such deflection may, for example, be implemented with elongated pressure cells and along a direction that is perpendicular to a length thereof. Shear relief in this regard may be facilitated by undercut regions of the respective pressure cells, at which location the pressure cells are coupled to an underlying surface and which is smaller in dimension relative to an overlying portion of the pressure cell.
SYSTEM FOR RECIRCULATING WARM AIR
A recirculating warm air system configured to connect to an air inflatable product is provided. The system includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber includes a first air inlet and a first valve located at the first air inlet. The second chamber includes a second valve located between the first chamber and the second chamber, an air outlet, and a first hose connected to the air outlet. The second chamber further includes an air blower and a heater located between the air blower and the air outlet. The second chamber includes a second air inlet, a third valve located at the second air inlet, and a second hose connected to the second air inlet. The first hose and the second hose are configured to connect to the air inflatable product. The system further includes a processing unit configured to control elements of the system.
USING FORCE SENSORS TO DETERMINE SLEEP PARAMETERS
A support platform supports a mattress. The support platform includes legs. Force sensors are coupled to the legs or to the support platform. The force sensors are configured to sense a force applied to each leg or support platform. A controller is configured to receive at least one force stream from at least one of the force sensors. The at least one force stream represents a force sensed by the force sensor. The controller is configured to, in responses to receiving the at least one force stream, determine a sleep parameter from the following group of sleep parameters: bed presence, weight, heart rate, respiration rate, and motions. The controller is configured to output at least one or more of those parameters to an end user.
AIR MATTRESS WITH FEATURES FOR DETERMINING AMBIENT TEMPURATURE
Bladder pressure readings of bladder pressure inside an air bladder of a mattress are received for a particular time. Barometric pressure readings of barometric pressure in an ambient environment outside the mattress are received for the particular time. The bladder pressure and the barometric pressure readings are used as input to an ambient temperature classifier. Output from the ambient temperature classifier is received as an ambient temperature value for the particular time
AIR SUPPLY DEVICE
An air supply device comprises an enclosure, a pump and a flow path switching unit. The flow path switching unit includes a pedestal part, a rotating part having an enclosure interior space communication portion and a groove portion, and a drive unit. The enclosure includes an air supply port, an air discharge port, and at least one object connection port. The pedestal part includes at least one first hole that is communicated to the at least one object connection port, and a second hole that is communicated to the air discharge port. The enclosure interior space communication portion is communicated to the air supply port through an interior space of the enclosure. The groove portion is separated from the enclosure interior space communication portion.
