  • Patent number: 7562403
    Abstract: A hospital bed apparatus includes a supporting frame, a lifting mechanism, and a horizontally moving mechanism; the lifting mechanism includes two horizontal rods on two sides of a hospital bed, and a sheet is disposed between and connected to the horizontal rods; either one of the horizontal rods can be lifted so as to turn and reposition the patient on the sheet; the horizontally moving mechanism includes linearly displaceable transverse rods, and connecting rods pivoted to the transverse rods and the lifting mechanism; the sheet and the horizontal rods of the lifting mechanism will be moved outside of the hospital bed when the horizontally moving mechanism is actuated after the sheet have been lifted off the hospital bed together with the horizontal rods; thus, the patient can be shifted to another hospital bed.

  • Patent number: 6668396
    Abstract: A turning mechanism for a patient confined to a bed includes two movable frames, and two adjusting members connected to respective frames for moving the frames between a horizontal position and a tilted position. A sheet is connected to elongated rods of the frames by an easily detachable device. Thus, a patient lying on the sheet can be turned between a back-rest position and left and right side rest positions. The adjusting members have transmission shafts, which have threaded sections having moving blocks movable along; Propping rods are pivoted to the moving blocks at first ends. The propping rods are pivoted to the frames at the other ends so that when power source is activated, the moving blocks move along threaded sections, and the propping rods are moved to raise the respective frames to a tilted position.
