MULTI-FUNCTIONAL THERAPEUTIC HOSPITAL BED CONVERTIBLE INTO A STANDING AID

摘要

The invention relates to the field of medical technology, and more particularly to multi-functional hospital beds. The claimed structure comprises a vertical stand in the shape of an inverted L, which is connected to a folding bed. The bed has two sections, one of which can be folded onto the other, whereupon both sections can be folded to the vertical stand. A movable frame is disposed in the top corner of the stand, wherein said frame can be fastened in two positions: to the top part of the stand, and also at an angle of 45 degrees to the stand. A motor is provided, which pulls a cable. Said cable passes through the stand and the end of the movable frame. This provides two operating modes: Mode 1 is that of a bed. In this case, the frame is fastened to the stand, and the bed is unfolded. Traction or fixation can be applied to individual parts of a patient's body. Mode 2 is that of a standing aid. In this case, the bed is folded, and the frame is positioned at an angle of 45 degrees. The legs of the bed form a support, and the patient can be verticalized with the aid of the cable and a harness. The invention is simple and universal and is also capable of replacing several pieces of hospital equipment at once.
