- the numeral 5 indicates a combined invalid bed and chair in its entirety and it includes thespaced parallelside, rails 6 which are connected at one end bytheend rail 7.
- the opposite ends of the 'siderails 6 are provided with bearings 8 illustrating the bed raised to an inclined powhich aresecured thereto at the upper edges thereof.
- a U-shaped br'ace9 has the terminals of its arms secured as at' l0 to the supporting legs 11 which legs aresecured to the side rails6 at the open end thereof.
- a roller'13 has. mounted therein a shaft 14, theen'ds of which shaft project beyond the end of the roller and are journaled in the bearings 8, as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
- the side rails 15 are secured to the opposite ends of the roller and are movable between the side rails 6"of 1 the frame- A brace 16 :is secured to the lower edges of the side rails 15 at the free ends thereof .tore'inforce and hold the rails connectedtogethen
- a flexible strip- '17 is secured .totheupper edges of the side rails 15" and to the roller 13 as a't118"and"this construction constitutes the footp'orti'on of the bed when in afho'rizontal position.
- An L-shapedbracket 19 is secured by one end, as at20, to the under side of each side rail -6 and depends downwardly therefrom and the brackets have theirfree ends di rected inwardly in the direction of each other as at 21, thereby constituting sup ports.
- a vertical support'23 is "secured as n24.
- the bed includes the side rails '25 having one end'c'onnected by an end rail 26, and ilo secured to the upper edges of the side and end rails of the bed is a flexible member 27 which constitutes a mattress.
- the forward edges of the side rails have connected thereto on the lower edges thereof a reinforcing brace 28 and. the portions of the side rails are severed from connection with the side rails 6, thus constituting a seat 29 formed by a portion of the side rails and flexible member 27.
- the forward edges of the side rails 2'7 are provided with supporting members 30 which are adapted to engage the under edges of portions 29 of the seat when in a horizontal position to support the same in its horizon tal position and thus provide the bed.
- a crank shaft 31 has its ends journaled in the side rails of the bed and extended through the side rails 6 of the frame. as illustrated.
- a gear wheel 32 is secured to one end of the crank shaft 31 on the exterior of one side rail 6 and this wheel 32 is provided with ratchet teeth 33 which are adapted to be engaged by a dog 3% pivotally secured to the side rail 6 at
- a crank handle 36 is secured to the shaft 31 on the exterior of one side rail and the wheel 32 and when turned in a clockwise direction it will move the bed to an inclined position, moving the seat into engagement with the portions 21 of the brackets 19 and thus constituting a seat and permitting the patient to be readily moved into an inclined or sitting position.
- a lever 37 or rod is eccentrically and pivotally secured to the wheel 22 as at 38 by one end and has its opposite end eccentrically and pivotally secured to the wheel 32 as at 39.
- a supporting rod 10 has its end provided with a semicircular bearing 41 which is journaled on the crank portion of the shaft 31 as at a2, and the opposite end is bent angularly and is secured to the end rail 26 of the bed as at 43 to reinforce and position the bed and support the bed in, either of its positions.
- a pair of braces 4% are secured to the under side of each side rail 6 intermediate the ends thereof and are adapted to extend beyond the inner or side wall thereof to permit the bed to be readily supported in a horizontal position and lowered.
- a pawl 16 is pivotally secured as at 4:7 to the side rail 6 and is adapted to engage the ratchet teeth 33 to normally hold the bed in its raised inclined position as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings.
- the handle is grasped and rotated in a clockwise direction, thus rotating the wheel 22, moving the bed to an inclined position, positioning the seat upon the brackets 21 and at the same time lowering the foot portion 15.
- the patient is then in an upright or sitting position.
- it is only necessary to release the dogs 16 and 34- grasp the lever and let the patient down easily until the bed is in a horizontal position and the foot portion is raised flush therewith.
- Such operation is done simultaneously through the medium of the wheels 22, and 32 and the rod 37.
- a combined bed and chair including a main frame, a bed frame journaled in the main frame.
- said bed frame including a seat portion and a body portion, said seat portion being hinged to the body portion, an independent foot portion journaled to the foot end of the main frame, and means for raising the body and simultaneously lowering the seat and foot portions.
- a combined bed and chair including a main frame, a bed frame having a. hinged portion constituting a seat, said bed frame journaled in the main frame, an independent foot portion journaled in the foot end of the main frame, and means carried by the main frame and connected to the bed frame and foot portion to raise the bed frame and simultaneously lower the foot portion.
- a combined bed and chair including a main frame, means for supporting the frame, a foot portion journaled in one end of the frame, an independent bed frame journaled intermediate the ends of the frame, said bed frame including a seat portion hinged thereto, means for supporting the seat portion in a horizontal position when the bed portion is raised, and means for raising the bed portion and simultaneously lowering the foot and seat portions.
- a combined bed and chair including a main frame, legs supporting the main frame, a bed portion journaled in the main frame, a seat portion hinged to one end of the bed portion, an independent foot portion journaled to the foot end of the frame, means for raising and lowering the bed portion and moving the seat portion into seat actuating position and bed actuating position, and means connected to the first named means for moving the foot portion simultaneously with the movement of the bed and seat portions.
- a combined bed and chair including a main frame, means for supporting the main frame, a crank shaft journaled in the main frame, a bed frame carried by the crank shaft, said bed frame comprising a seat portion and back portion, said seat portion being hinged to the back portion, means for raising the back portion to an inclined position, and ineans for supporting the seat portion when the bed is raised to an inclined position, a foot portion journaled in the main frame, and means connected to the crank shaft and foot portion for raising back portion and simultaneously lowering the seat and foot portions.
- An invalid bed comprising a main frame, legs supporting the main frame, a bed portion journaled in the main frame and includinglhingedly connecting back and seat portions, a separate foot portion journaled to the foot end of the main frame, means for raising and lowering the bed portion and moving the seat portion into seat actuating position and to bed actuating position, means for moving the foot portion downward and away from the seat portion, when the same is moved to seat position, and means for connecting the foot portion with the bed'portion for simultaneous movement therewith, as and for the purpose specified.
