Patent number: 11642263Abstract: A person support apparatus includes a base, a controller, and a barrier having at least one electrical device. The base includes mounting structures for releasably mounting the barrier to the base. A first electrical connector is in communication with the at least one electrical device and mounted to the barrier. A second electrical connector is in communication with the controller and mounted at one of the mounting structures for connection with the first electrical connector when the barrier is mounted to the base at the mounting structures.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2021Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Connor Feldpausch St.John, Krishna Sandeep Bhimavarapu, William Dwight Childs, Michael Harry Lau, Annie Désaulniers, Michael T.

Publication number: 20220192905Abstract: A patient support system comprises a patient support apparatus for patients. The patient support apparatus comprises a base and a litter supported by the base via a lift system. The litter comprises a seat section and a foot section movable relative to the seat section. The lift system comprises lift members. The lift system moves the litter from a first configuration in which the seat and foot sections are generally horizontal relative to a floor surface to a second configuration where the foot section is below the seat section and between the lift members. The patient support apparatus also comprises a mattress assembly integrated with the foot section to move with the foot section between the first and second configurations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: Strker CorporationInventors: Christopher Ryan Sweeney, Jame K. Galer, Gary L. Bartley, William Dwight Childs, Connor Feldpausch St. John

Publication number: 20210177679Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a frame supported relative to a floor, the frame configured to support a deck for supporting a patient thereon, and a lift assembly for raising or lowering the frame relative to the floor. The lift assembly includes lifting legs coupled to the frame and an actuator with a body and an extendible member. The actuator is mounted to one of the legs, rather than the frame, and mounted for linear movement with respect to the one leg, with the linear movement translated into rotational movement of the other leg by a link and crank arm arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2020Publication date: June 17, 2021Inventors: Connor Feldpausch St. John, William Dwight Childs, Gary L.

Patent number: 10406044Abstract: A person support apparatus includes a base, wheels, a drive system, a support surface, a lift system, and a control. The control controls the drive system in response to forward/reverse forces applied thereto, and also controls the lift system in response to upward or downward forces applied thereto. In some embodiments, a controller compares a magnitude of the forward/reverse force to a magnitude of the upward/downward force and commands the drive system to drive the wheels if the magnitude of the forward/reverse force exceeds the magnitude of the upward/downward force. The control may include a user-engageable portion that is constructed to not move with respect to a force sensor when forward or reverse forces are applied to the user-engageable portion. The controller controls the drive system in response to the forward or reverse forces applied to the user-engageable portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Jerald A. Trepanier, Connor Feldpausch St.John, Michael T. Brubaker, Christopher Gentile, Gary L. Bartley
