Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 31, 1915.
Application led July 23, 1914. Serial No. 852,536.
To all whom t may concern.' v
Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN W. MEI- NECKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Orange, Essex county, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Non-Slipping Bed-Rests for Invalids, of which the following is a specification.
v My invention relates to bed rests for invalids and has for its principal lobject to rovide such rests with means through which, when the rests are in use they tend to remain upon the bed in whatever position `they may have been placed without slipping thereon and sliding away from the patient.
Among bed rests most commonly used are backy rests, usually arranged so that they may be placed behind the patient so as to support the back at various angles; and knee and thigh supports which are generally laced under the legs at or near the knee.
ee and thigh supportsv may also be used,
at the foot of the bed, as braces against which the feet may be rested, or, sometimes, as supports for the head or back.
Bed rests as just described are known in the art. They are usually made of wood, liber, metal or some equivalent relatively rigid or stiff material. So far as I am aware, however, they all tend to slip upon the bed when pressed upon by the patient, unless fastened to the bed by some mechanical means such as, for example, connecting links for hooking over the head or foot of the bed, or cords or tapes for attaching to the rails or for pinning fast to the bed clothes.
The bed rests of my invention are provided with frictional elements which engage the bed clothing and prevent slip of the rests under the pressure of the patient. `These frictional elements are preferably removable so that the rests and frictional elements may be readily and thoroughly cleaned which is a very essential requirement for medical and surgical appliances.
My invention will be better understood by referrin to the drawings in which two forms o bed rests are shown with my invention applied thereto. v
In these drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view representing a preferred-form of back rest in closed condition; Fig. 2 represents the rest in one of its open positions; Fig. 3 represents the rest, as shown in Fig. 2,
3, but showing in addition one of my improved knee and thigh supports beneath the legs of the patient; Fig. 5 represents a greatly enlarged section along the line 5?-5 of Fig.,l showing the method of attaching the 'frictional or non-slipping element; Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing one of my improved knee and thigh supports standing on end; Fig. 7 is a similar view which shows the supportof Fig. 6 on its side; Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing the knee and thigh support alone as arranged for supporting the knees of a patient; Fig. 9 shows the knee and thigh support arranged at the foot of the bed as a brace for the feet of the patient; Fig. 10 represents the knee and thigh lsu port when used as a head rest.
eferring to the drawings my improved back rest comprises a base, 1,l preferably a flat plate of Wood or iber,'having side bars, 2, and a back piece 3 pivotally attached, at its lower end, to the ends of the side bars, and provided with links, 4, having a cross bar, 5, adapted to drop into notches of the rails 2 so as to place the back piece at any one of several angles.
The back piece, 3, is provided with a supporting plate, 6, having a transverse curvature conforming to that of the body and a transverse rail 7 spaced above the plate a sufficient distance to permit the end of a pillow to be thrust therethrough as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, for example. The pillow is thereby prevented from slipping down and away from the back piece. The lower end of plate 6 is cut away as at 8 so as to prevent said plate from pressing upon the base of the spine.
The plate of base, 1, is provided on each side with a group of short transverse slots 9 in and out of which is laced a strip of soft rubber 10. This rubber strip is preferably corrugated on the side which will be against the bed clothes when the back rest is in use. This rubber strip constitutes the frictional element previously referred to.
In using the back rest of my invention the several portions of each rubber strip 'which lie on the under side of base 1 will be flattened out against the bed clothing and will engage the same so as to be frictionally held thereby. The transverse corrugations will assist this frictional grip.
Should the back rest become soiled in use or, when used in contagious or mfectious diseases, should it become desirable to cleanse n end is thrust through the opening between bar 7 and back piece 3 the pillowk will be securely held and prevented from slipping either because of its own weight or of .the pressure due to the patient. he cut away portions at 8 will prevent any undue pres- Sure being experienced by the patient at the base of the spine.
- The knee and thigh vsupport is made nonslipping in the same manner as has been described for the back rest, i. e., the bottom of said support, on each side', is provided lwith a group of transverse slots 9 in and out of which are threaded the corrugated rubber strips 10'; in consequence thereof, when the support is used as shown in Figs. 8-10 as for example the rubber strips will engage the bed clothing and prevent slip of the support. The rubber strip, instead of being laced in and out as described, may be attached to the support in any other desired and preferred manner.
I do not confine myself to non-slipping means made of rubber, but may instead, if
I prefer, use any other material which will frictionally engage the bed clothing without injury thereof.
Having described my invention I claim:
1. A bed rest having a base provided with slots and strips of non-slipping material held by said slots.
2. A bed rest having a base provided with a group of parallel slots on each side thereof and a strip of non-slipping material laced group of slots and held `said material being passed through said openings so that the latter coperate to hold the length in place. v
6. In a bed rest, the combination of a base having a plurality of openings and bent loops'of resilient material having their ends engaging pairs of said openings.
In testimony whereof'I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing wltnesses.
CHRISTIAN w. MEINECKE.
