An apparatus for used to lift the torso of a human from a supine position to a sitting position. This is a lightweight apparatus which can be easily carried and placed on a bed or other flat surface. It is placed under the torso of the subject and includes a base, back rest and actuator. The back rest is pivotally coupled to the base and the actuator is used to rotate the back rest from a flat lying position to a vertical sitting position.

An adjustable base is provided that includes a fixed frame and an articulating frame connected to the fixed frame. The articulating frame includes an upper body frame pivotally connected to the upper section of the fixed frame, a seat frame pivotally connected to the upper body frame and movable along a central section of the fixed frame, and a leg frame pivotally connected to the fixed frame. An actuator is further included and has a first end connected to the seat frame adjacent to the leg frame and a second end that is connected to a linkage attached to the articulating frame. Upon activation of the actuator, the upper body frame is articulated upward and the seat frame moves linearly along the central section of the fixed frame toward the upper section of the fixed frame. Systems and methods for controlling an adjustable base assembly are further provided.

A smart adjustable bed system combines an adjustable bed, a smart hub, a server, and smart devices to provide a system for controlling the raising and lowering of the adjustable bed. The smart hub acts as a gateway interconnecting the smart adjustable bed and a remote server capable of powerful voice recognition and artificial intelligence at a shared price. The system includes methods of using the system to allow an additional smart device such as a tablet computer to act as a remote control for the smart adjustable bed. The system further enables voice controls to be used to raise and lower the adjustable bed. Lastly, the voice recognition of the smart hub can be used to detect snoring and to send a signal to the adjustable bed to raise the bed to a position until the user reaches a position where snoring stops.

The present invention relates to the field of bed frame structures, and in particular, to a novel detachable bed frame assembly mechanism. The novel detachable bed frame assembly mechanism includes a bed frame body. The bed frame body includes an outer frame, an inner frame, and two sets of wooden strips. The outer frame is a rectangular frame including two horizontal tubes, two lateral tubes, four L-shaped iron-plate connectors, bolts, and nuts. The inner frame includes at least one horizontal connecting tube, a plurality of lateral connecting tubes, iron sheets, bolts, and nuts. The two sets of wooden strips are symmetrically disposed on the horizontal connecting tube and the horizontal tubes on both sides of the horizontal connecting tube and are parallel to the lateral tubes, to connect the horizontal connecting tube to the horizontal tubes. The invention is easy to assemble and disassemble and is safe and reliable.

A plate lifting device capable of being applied to a multi-plate equipped apparatus includes a motor, a retractable shaft, a restriction member, and a lifting mechanism disposed on the base. The motor is disposed on a base of the multi-plate equipped apparatus. An end of the retractable shaft is pivotally disposed on the base and is connected to the motor, whereby to be driven by the motor to extend or retract, and another end thereof has a movable member. The restriction member connected to one of the plates of the multi-plate equipped apparatus has a slot capable of being passed through by the movable member. When the motor drives the retractable shaft to extend from an initial state, the movable member is lifted by the lifting mechanism, so that the restriction member and the plate connected to the restriction member, which are moved together with the movable member, are lifted.

An electric bed includes a base, a back frame, and a butt frame. The rear end of the back frame is attached to the base, and the back frame is swingable relative to the base by the driving of a first actuator. The butt frame is located in back of the back frame. The rear end of the butt frame is attached to the base, and the butt frame is swingable relative to the base by the driving of a second actuator. As a result, the electric bed of the invention enables the user to change the posture thereof between sitting and flat lying postures through the swinging of the back frame, and effectively supports the waist of the user through the swinging of the butt frame, so that the user can maintain the posture thereof conforming to ergonomics, thereby prevented from hurt on the waist.

A sleep system comprises at least one mattress including a first sleep area for a first occupant, the first sleep area including a first section for a portion of a body of the first occupant, and a second sleep area adjacent to the first sleep area for a second occupant, the second sleep area including a second section for a portion of a body of the second occupant, an articulation system for articulating the first section and the second section, a first user controller configured to communicate with the articulation system in order to control articulation of the first section, and a second user controller configured to communicate with the articulation system in order to control articulation of the second section, wherein the first user controller is further configured to communicate with the articulation system in order to move the second section into a predetermined position.

A method can be provided that includes measuring sound waves using a sound measuring device, determining, at a central controller of an air mattress system, one or more parameter values of the sound waves, comparing the one or more parameter values with values, ranges, or patterns indicative of snoring, identifying a snoring state of a user, and initiating, with the central controller, a change to one or more adjustable features of the air mattress system.

A foldable electric bed includes a first bed frame having top and bottom edges at first imaginary top and bottom surfaces respectively, and a second bed frame having top and bottom edges at second imaginary top and bottom surfaces respectively. A first fixation frame of the first bed frame has a bottom portion with two first longitudinal rods pivotally connected at outer lateral sides of two second longitudinal rods provided at a bottom portion of a second fixation frame of the second bed frame in a way that the first imaginary bottom surface is located between the second imaginary top and bottom surfaces and an overall height of the electric bed is less than a sum of the heights of the first and second bed frames when the electric bed is folded.

As such, the folded electric bed has a reduced volume, facilitating transportation and storage.
