| A chair for transporting a patient includes a base frame, a plurality of casters mounted to the base frame, a seat, and a push bar mounted to a back section of the seat for use when transporting the patient. A wheel is coupled to the base frame for movement between a downward brake-steer position, facilitating steering the chair during transport of the patient, and an upward neutral position. A brake mechanism brakes the casters when the brake mechanism is in a braking position and permits rotation of the casters when the brake mechanismn is in a releasing position. A brake-steer shaft is coupled to the brake mechanism. Movement of the shaft moves the brake mechanism between the braking position and the releasing position. The brake-steer shaft is pivotably coupled to the base frame. The brake-steer shaft is coupled to the wheel so that rotation of the brake-steer shaft moves the wheel between the brake-steer position and the neutral position. A neutral pedal is coupled to the brake-steer shaft so that movement of the neutral pedal to a neutral position automatically rotates the brake-steer shaft to move the wheel to the neutral position. | ||||||

| In a multifunctional bed in which a variable bed that can be changed into a wheelchair form is fitted in a U-shaped fixed bed, when a seat back portion of the variable bed is laid or raised, the variable bed may assume an unstable position, thus hindering a smooth form change. The present invention provides a multifunctional bed comprising a variable bed 3 that can be changed into a wheelchair form and a fixed bed 2 in which the variable bed 3 can be removably fitted, wherein a holding member is provided between the fixed bed 2 and the variable bed 3, for holding a vertical position of the variable bed 3 relative to the fixed bed 2, and the holding member comprises a vertical pair of guide rails 141, 143 disposed on a left and right inner side surfaces of a notched recess portion 20a of the fixed bed 2 formed so as to appear substantially U-shaped, and guide rollers 131, 133 disposed on both sides of a seat back portion 34 of the variable bed 3. | ||||||
| 244 | Multi-function, comfort wheel chair | US09803755 | 2001-03-12 | US20010010099A1 | 2001-08-02 | Kathryn Shero |
| An improved, multi-function, comfort wheelchair is disclosed, comprised of an otherwise conventional wheelchair. With interchangeable padded seats. The leg members and associated braces of the wheelchair are adjustable in conjunction with the back member to allow the user to position himself or herself in the reclined position. Reclining of the leg members and back member is achieved via an electric motor. A control means facilitates control of the electric motor, and is located on one of the armrests. A bedpan is positioned on a rail underneath the hole in the metal unit, in a waste storage chamber. The bedpan can be emptied through a door in the front of the containment. The metal unit contains a chamber sealing means, that when activated by the control on the armrest the waste storage chamber is airtight. A filtration means is used to control odor from the use of the bedpan. This commode and leg containment slide out on rails so the wheelchair can fold up by means of a telescoping main axle. Adjustable hand rails are for people of varying heights. The headrest expands the entire width of the chair and can move backward out of the way, it can also detach or stay secure. A detachable or secure backpack or carrying means and detachable or secure multiple size cup hold are also incorporated. This multi-function, comfort wheelchair provides the comfort of padded seats, easy access to commode use without ambulating the patient to the bathroom, a chamber sealing and filtration means to lock out bad odor from the containment unit, reclining of the back and leg members for long term comfort, movability of the wheelchair to other areas, the ability to fold the wheelchair together for transport. With the rising number of people who are 50 and older the demand for a wheelchair like this is global in nature. | ||||||

| A cantilevered mobile bed/chair apparatus for safely transferring a patient from and to a hospital type bed comprises three hinged together segments forming back, seat and foot platforms operating in conjunction with a four wheeled, rectangular base. The hinged together platforms convert from a fully adjustable chair mode to a bed mode by a first jack located beneath the seat platform. The platforms are raised and lowered by a second jack associated with a telescoping tower attached to an E frame. The telescoping tower is mounted vertically from one side of the rectangular base, and when extended, has a height greater than a hospital bed. The E frame, which supports the platforms, is cantilevered horizontally from the top portion of the telescoping tower, and the height thereof is controlled by the second jack mounted together with the bottom portion of the telescoping tower, to the wheeled base. The side edges of the platforms are beveled or angled downward. When it is desired to transfer a patient from a hospital bed to the bed/chair apparatus, the unit is wheeled over in the bed mode. The lower height is extended by the second jack which enables the platforms to overhang in cantilever fashion the hospital bed by up to eighteen inches, and then lowered so as to press into the mattress of the hospital bed. The angled down edges of the platforms pressing into the mattress results in a tight embrace of the hospital bed, and an almost flat profile for the two beds so that a single caregiver can safely effect the patient transfer. Numerous other features are included for medical and physical maintenance of the patient. | ||||||

A backrest and the intermediate base block are pivotally supported by a first link while the mount base block and the intermediate base block are pivotally supported through a second link and a third link, provided in front and rear. The first link is rotated for moving the backrest from a stationary position to a rearward inclined condition. The second link and the third link are respectively rotated to raise the intermediate base block and a seat surface of the reclining block from stationary positions to specified heights. | ||||||

The waist axis is parallel to the knee axis and separated substantially by the length of the second section. The working carrier at least with the first, second and third sections lie in a substantially common horizontal plane, having in plan overall dimensions substantially greater than the overall dimensions in plan of the chassis. A frame member slidably retaining the first section to support the working carrier at least when the working carrier is substantially horizontal. A variable length column extends between the chassis and the frame member to support the frame member and provide height adjustment. A link serves to limit rotation of the second section towards the first section, at least when the first section is tilted from horizontal. A first variable length longitudinal actuator for enabling the frame member and the working carrier to be rotated relative to the chassis about a horizontal main axis, and a second variable length longitudinal actuator for enabling the first section to be displaced linearly relative to the working carrier. A control mechanism controls operation of the support unit. | ||||||

| 254 | Reduced shear assembly for recline seat back of a wheelchair | US745715 | 1996-11-12 | US5823621A | 1998-10-20 | Douglas Broadhead |
| A reduced shear reclining seat back assembly employs a single rotary actuator for reclining a seat back relative to a seat portion and controlling movement of a seat back member in response to the reclining operation. A rotary actuator includes a first arm pivotally secured to the seat back, preferably through a link which is connected to the movable back member. A second arm of the actuator is pivotally secured to the seat portion. As the angle between the first and second arms decreases, the seat back reclines and the movable seat back member is drawn toward a seat pivot axis. Likewise, when the angle between the arms increases, the seat back is brought to an upright position and the movable seat member travels away from the seat pivot axis. | ||||||
