BATHING APPARATUSES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
The apparatuses and methods of making and using the same are directed to bathing apparatus to support an object while bathing the object with a fluid. The bathing apparatus may comprise a support assembly constituting a support structure of the apparatus; a support surface to support the object, the support surface supported by the support portion; and a fluid catch disposed on at least three sides of the support surface, the fluid catch serving as a basin for the fluid in such manner to contain the fluid separate from the support surface. The bathing apparatus may be used in combination with a support wall that includes a plurality of channels to hold household items.
Reclining transport chairs
A transport chair is provided that includes a base frame, a seat assembly pivotally mounted to the base, and a footrest assembly pivotally mounted to the base frame, the footrest assembly being associated with the seat assembly so as to pivot in unison with the seat assembly until the seat assembly is pivoted forward to an extent at which the footrest assembly contacts the floor or ground, at which point the footrest assembly does not pivot further upon further forward pivoting of the seat assembly. Further embodiments of the transport chair allow the seat assembly to recline, alone or in unison with a leg rest assembly, while the footrest remains in position.
Connection Joint
Connection joint between a first member and a second member where said connection joint comprises: a. a first slidable base member, where said slidable base member in a first end has a first conically shaped cavity, and in a second end has a portion extending from the distal end towards the first end, where a plurality of slits are provided in said portion, where said first slidable base member between the first conically shaped cavity and said second end has a cylindrical cross-section orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of said first slidable base member, and where b. a washer having at least one conical section providing expansion means arranged at least partly inside said first slidable member in the vicinity of the slits adjacent the second end, where said conical section is able to urge the first slidable member's portion provided with slits outwards and expand beyond the circumference of the cylindrical section; c. a bushing arranged outside said first slidable member, such that the slidable member may slide relative to the bushing in an axial direction, and d. a first partly shaped spherical member (rod), having a spherical part with an inner and an outer surface, said spherical part's outer surface adapted to be at least partly inserted in the conically shaped cavity of the first slidable member, and said spherical parts inner surface being suitable to engage; e. a first locking member (bl) having an outer surface adapted to engage said inner surface of the first partly spherical member, and a threaded aperture, said threaded aperture is threadily engaged to; f. a threaded bolt, said bolt having a thread in one end engaging the thread of the locking member and a head section in the opposite engaging the washer, g. and where the first partly spherical member and the bushing or the washer comprises fastening means for fastening the first partly spherical member and the bushing or the washer to said first and second members.
RETINAL DETACHMENT EYE PILLOW AND CONVERSION METHOD BETWEEN DIFFERENT SERVICE STATES OF HEADREST THEREOF
Provided is a retinal detachment eye pillow comprising a headrest and a sit-sleeping support for use when sitting in a chair, wherein the headrest receives a user's head; the headrest can be directly placed on the upright sleeping support for use or can also be taken from the upright sleeping support for a patient to use on a bed for prone sleeping; the method for converting use of the headrest: from the upright sleeping support to the bed for prone sleeping is moving the headrest up and detaching it from the upright sleeping support, and putting the headrest on the bed or a bedside tool, such that the patient can sleep on the bed in a prone posture using the headrest; the method for converting use of the headrest from the bed for prone sleeping to the upright sleeping support is picking up the headrest: from the bed or the bedside tool to align it with and putting it down on the upright sleeper support, such that the patient can use the headrest on the upright sleeping support. The eye pillow enables the user to have a very good user experience without having to disassemble or assemble the parts during the conversion. At the same time, the upright sleeping support is designed to be a platform for the headrest, thus it is possible to support headrests produced by other manufacturers.
Toilet chair and a method for aiding a person in getting undressed or dressed by means of a toilet chair
Disclosed is a toilet chair (1) comprising a chair back (2) including a head part (3) and a bottom part (4) and a seat (5) comprising a front part (6) and a rear part (8), wherein the seat (5) further comprises a toilet opening (7) through which a user may go to the toilet. The bottom part (4) and the rear part (8) are arranged next to each other and the bottom part (4) is arranged to be displaceable outwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1) and the rear part (8) is arranged to be displaceable upwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1). Methods for aiding a person in getting undressed or dressed by means of a toilet chair (1) and use of a toilet chair (1) is also disclosed.
HEADREST FOR SURGICAL PROCEDURES
A headrest for a mobile patient transport apparatus is arranged to support a patient during minor surgical procedures. The headrest includes a neck supporting portion which is hinged to a backrest of the apparatus, and a head supporting portion which is hinged to the neck supporting portion. Each of the neck supporting portion and head supporting portion is connected to a respective actuator. The actuators can be independently operated to cause pivoting of the neck supporting portion relative to the backrest and/or pivoting of the head supporting portion relative to the neck supporting portion.
Wheelchair
A conveyance to carry humans, such as a wheelchair, is described having levers on each side of the wheelchair that are manually moved forward and backward to propel the conveyance. The user is able to shift into forward, reverse or neutral, brake, and change mechanical advantage (gear ratio), all this without removing the user's hands from the drive levers.
Adjustable head support
An adjustable head support includes an articulating arm that has a plurality of members, at least one of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a first axis. At least another of the members is attached to a consecutive member and configured to rotate about a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular. A head support assembly is pivotally coupled to the articulating arm.
Device pad
Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to a head cradle of a medical device, the head cradle pad includes a first section corresponding to a shape of a top portion of the head cradle, a second section corresponding to a shape of a bottom portion of the head cradle, and a center connection portion connecting the first section and the second section. The first section and the second section are shaped to form spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is in a flat state when the head cradle pad is un-affixed to the head cradle. The first section and the second section are shaped to eliminate the spatial gaps when the head cradle pad is affixed to the concave surface of the head cradle.
