Abstract: A hospital bed has a frame mounted on a base. Articulating head, seat and leg patient support panels are mounted on the frame. Side guards are mounted on the panels. Patient support panels have longitudinal edges that are collapsible to narrow the bed for transporting a patient. The side guards are inwardly movable to contribute to the narrowing of the bed while still protecting the patient from falling out of the bed.

Abstract: The specification discloses a wiring system for desks, tables and the like in which an end edge trim piece located at the juncture between the top and side of the desk is releasably fastened thereto and can be removed to expose a relatively large aperture extending from the interior to the exterior of the desk to allow one to readily feed wiring therethrough. The edge trim piece itself includes a relatively smaller opening which can then be positioned over the wiring when the end edge trim piece is resecured to the desk, the smaller opening being less noticeable than the larger opening would be. The smaller opening in the trim piece includes a removable insert which can be oriented in different positions to provide yet further adjustment for the size of the opening through which wiring passes as it extends through the end trim piece.

Abstract: A shelf support bracket construction adapted for use singly or in pairs for engaging into a vertical wall divider or spline and having at least one rearwardly disposed projection and at least one forwardly disposed laterally offset projection for supporting an appurtenance. When used in pairs the brackets intermesh and the rearward projections of the brackets are vertically offset with respect to each other to engage in adjacent slots in the spline with the forward projections in horizontal alignment.
