Disclosed herein is a convertible tent hammock. The hammock may include side release buckles which allow the floor of the convertible tent hammock to be separated from the corners of the convertible tent hammock. Further, an exposed ridge pole provides a first structural connection to a support structure. The head and foot of the convertible tent hammock may be cinched together to provide a second structural connection to a support structure.

A ceiling lift tilt management system includes first and second motor units, which are attachable to a rail system of a medical care facility. Each motor unit includes a flexible strap, which can be coiled or uncoiled within the motor unit to raise or lower a spreader bar attached thereto. Coiling or uncoiling of the straps can cause raising or lowering of a sling attached to the spreader bars. The system also allows for tilting of the spreader bars by coiling or uncoiling a leading motor unit strap. The system includes a control system that measures the relative lengths of the two straps in order to ensure that relative tilt between the spreader bars does not exceed a threshold. Once a threshold tilt for height difference is reached, further user requests for additional tilting are prohibited. Patient comfort and safety are therefore ensured.

A system, method, and multipurpose hammock including a base of interconnected webbing forming a support structure. Each corner of the base includes on a of a number of loops fixing the base to stationary objects when the multipurpose hammock is positioned. The multipurpose hammock further includes a hammock body attachable to the base. The hammock body includes or more connectors proximate a longitudinal edge of the hammock body. The one or more connectors secure at least the longitudinal edge of the hammock body to the base when connected together.

Folding casing formed of intersecting arches or rings and stretched by inner traction elements.

A frame for supporting a hammock includes a support member having a first end, a second end, and a midpoint between the first end and second end. The hammock support member defines a first surface portion that extends from the first end to the midpoint and a second surface portion that extends from the midpoint to the second end. The second surface portion is substantially symmetrical with the first surface portion about a plane of symmetry that extends through the midpoint. The first surface portion includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The second segment is between the first segment and the third segment. The first, second, and third segments are arc shaped. The first segment has a first radius, the second segment has a second radius, and the third segment has a third radius. The second radius is smaller than the first and third radii.

A tandem hammock assembly having a plurality of hammocks coupled to one another by at least two straps, each of the at least two straps being fastened to respective ends of the plurality of hammocks; and at least two elongate bars each having two fastening elements on respective ends, the fastening elements being adapted to detachably fasten to respective ones of the at least two straps and the at least two strap each being adapted to be detachably fixed to a respective anchoring structure.

An inflatable hammock comprises a panel that has an air containing region and a bonded region. A plurality of tension members attached on both ends of the panel and having free ends that are configured to suspend the panel. An exemplary inflatable hammock may convert between a first configuration for use as a hammock and a second configuration as a sleeping pad as described herein.
