Abstract: The present inventions relate to a mobility and comfort auxiliary bed apparatus, and in particular to a modular and free-standing apparatus that is customizable with many components. In one embodiment, two spaced apart and parallel frame bars are provided, each with opposed vertical risers and a longitudinal rail that is positionable over a bed. An overhead grip such as a trapeze bar may be movably supported by the frame bars. A balance pole may be provided and be adjustably connected to both frame bars laterally and longitudinally. Assist rails and night stands may be further provided, and may be supported by one or more centrally located longitudinal supports underneath the bed. The present invention can be fixed to the bed and may be adjusted in width, length and mattress height to accommodate many components.

Abstract: An apparatus and process for foam wrapping pressure sensitive rolls of material in a limited amount of space with a minimum amount of handling of the pressure sensitive rolls. The apparatus includes an intermediate transfer cart and a retractable foam application unit. The intermediate transfer cart operates to receive unwrapped rolls of pressure sensitive material from a winder unit and transport it to a position underneath the foam application unit which custom wraps various widths of pressure sensitive rolls of material from one full width of foam web while providing a driving force to turn the pressure sensitive rolls as foam is being applied thereto.
