A bedside table to be arranged in an area of a folding side extension of a mattress assembly. The bedside table includes a surface suitable for receiving or storing at least one object and apparatus for releasably attaching the surface of the bedside table to the folding lateral extension of the mattress assembly, such that the surface of the bedside table can be releasably attached to the mattress assembly even when the lateral extension is being folded or it is already folded.

A lap table has a semi-circular cut-out along an inside edge of an extended platform. Beneath the table are a pair of adjustable leg assemblies that are capable of providing an upright configuration that allows the platform to stand and abut against a body of a user, particularly while lying in a bed.

The present invention provides a bed rail with table, which comprises a guardrail and a table board, wherein the guardrail consists of an outer frame with an inner extension arm and a fixed end which can be attached to a bed body; and the table board comprises a relatively flat table board surface and a rotation restricting part which is pivotally attached to the outer frame to rotate between a first position and a second position around a first axis.

A serving apparatus is provided to minimise risk of injurious events in a hospital or care setting. The serving apparatus comprises, a serving member having a serving platform; a rotation mechanism in rotatable communication with the serving member; a stand in communication with the rotation mechanism, the stand having a connecting portion; said connecting portion being arranged to reversibly couple the stand to an item of furniture; wherein the rotation mechanism is arranged to provide reciprocal rotation of the serving member between a stowed position and a serving position. The serving apparatus of the present invention aims to minimise the risk of falls or injurious spillages and may also maintain the healthy orthopaedic properties of furniture during mealtimes, without necessitating an awkward seating position wherein said orthopaedic properties become substantially defunct.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus i.e. shelf unit for attachment to the bed is described. The shelf is easy to install, without tools, and which will not damage the bedsides. The shelf has an upper surface to serve as a resting surface for holding items resting thereon and a lower surface called clamps which rests against the top of the bedside to support the weight of the shelf unit and the items resting thereon.

A support fixture is disclosed that may be removably clamped to a bed rail (or any other support member) and includes a lower support arm attached to the removable clamp through a rotatable connector. An upper support arm is attached to a distal termination of the lower support arm via a pivot connector. The combination of the lower and upper arms is referred to at times as an articulated arm assembly. A device support member is coupled to the upper support arm via a multi-stage gimbal system, perhaps in combination with a quick-release connection (allowing for the device support component to be used as a stand-alone fixture). The device support member is particularly configured to support a computing device, a communication device, or the like.

There is disclosed a portably suspended retractable shelf for storing furniture-side items that includes a horizontal platform having an inner portion and an outer portion. In various embodiments, the inner portion is adapted to be slidably captured between an upper cushion and a lower supporting structure. At least one of a projector insert rotationally adjustable to a plurality of orientations and the following upward-facing compartments is disposed on the outer portion of the horizontal platform and is accessible to a user on the furniture: a collapsible basin, a hanging flexible pocket, and a foldable box. A cutout hole is configured to hold the projector insert or the compartments in a suspended configuration through the shelf. A downward-facing sliding drawer compartment is mounted and/or supported underneath the outer portion of the shelf. A storage container extends from a leading surface of the portable suspended retractable shelf. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

A patient support apparatus comprising a support structure, an input device, an actuator, and a controller. The support surface comprises a patient support surface. The input device generates an input signal. The actuator is coupled to the support structure and is configured to perform an operational function and a feedback function, separate from the operational function, to provide feedback to a user. The controller is in communication with the actuator and the input device and is configured to control the actuator to perform the operational function in response to receiving the input signal from the input device, and to control the actuator to perform the feedback function separate from performing the operational function.
