A hospital bed contains: a body, a headboard, a footboard, a holding frame, at least one peripheral frame, and a drive unit. The headboard is disposed on one of two short peripheries of the body, and the footboard is mounted on the other of the two short peripheries of the body. The holding frame is fixed on the body and includes at least two tabs, and each of the at least one peripheral frame includes a coupling part and two connectors connected with two sides of the coupling part respectively, and each of the two connectors has a movable post, an accommodation stem, and a resilient element fitted on the movable post and moving between the movable post and the at least two tabs. The drive unit is mounted on the holding frame so as to control a rotation angle of the holding frame.

The bed consists of a frame, mattress platform and removable bed guard assembly. The bed guard assembly includes a main support which at the lower end has a mounting for connection to the bed, a guard permanently fixed to the main support and a locking mechanism for fixing the main support in relation to the bed. The locking mechanism is located inside the guard assembly and includes a sleeve and blocking element which moves between two positions. In one position the blocking element engages in the sleeve, and in the second position the blocking element is released from the sleeve, where in one of these positions it allows the movement of the main support in relation to the sleeve, and in the second of these positions it prevents the movement of the main support in relation to the sleeve, the movement of the blocking element of the locking mechanism is controlled by the actuator.

A patient support system includes a patient support apparatus and a support surface mounted on the patient support apparatus. The patient support apparatus is reconfigurable among a plurality of different configurations for supporting a patient on the support surface in a plurality of positions. The support surface is mounted on the patient support apparatus to move in response to reconfiguration of the patient support apparatus.

A patient support system includes a scale system, an air system, and a lift system. The patient support system also includes a control system configured to graphically communicate information about the scale system, the air system, and the lift system to a user.

The present invention discloses a foldable bed comprising a bed frame, a first railing, a second railing, and a folding assembly, wherein the bed frame includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the first connecting rod being rotatably connected to the first railing, the second connecting rod being rotatably connected to the second railing, the first connecting rod being connected to the second connecting rod by the folding assembly to have a foldable connection, and wherein the folding assembly includes a first folding piece and a second folding piece, the first folding piece being rotatably connected to the first connecting rod, the second folding piece being rotatably connected to the second connecting rod, and the first folding piece being rotatably connected to the second folding piece. An end of the first connecting rod nearest to the second connecting rod can be retracted upward and an end of the second connecting rod nearest to the first connecting rod can be retracted upwards, such that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are changed from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the bed frame is changed from an unfolded state to a folded state. The foldable bed can thus be effectively folded, making it convenient to fold and store the bed.

The disclosure describes and illustrates improvements to bed rails, to include easier assembly and lighting features. An embodiment of a bed rail ships to a user in four primary structural pieces, eliminating complicated user assembly. The present disclosure also describes a light bar disposed within the bed rail, with various lighting features. The improvements and inventions discussed herein provide a better user experience and increase the usability of the bed rail.

An armrest assembly is disclosed herein. The armrest assembly includes a main body with a proximal adjustment assembly disposed at a first end and a distal adjustment assembly disposed at a second end. The proximal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of the main body about a first axis. The distal adjustment assembly provides for adjustment of an arm pad about a second axis as well as a third axis. To prevent damage, a breakaway assembly is provided by the distal adjustment assembly to unlock the arm pad from a raised position and lower it into a lower position in the event a weight applied to the arm pad is beyond a particular weight threshold.
