  • Patent number: 9027948
    Abstract: Coupling links coupled at one end to terminal ends of the working belt and rotatably coupled at the other end to the conveyance body, the coupling links being configured to rotate when the seat cushion body rotates with a front end portion thereof acting as a pivot and both end portions of the working belt move in an up-and-down direction, and a working link mechanism provided in a manner to operate in interlock with the rotation the coupling link, the working link mechanism being configured to shift a brake member in accordance with a direction of rotation of the coupling link into a state that the brake member is separated from a rear wheel to release braking, or into such a state that the brake member is brought into contact with the rear wheel to apply braking.

  • Patent number: 7017210
    Abstract: A bedplate is disposed in a bed frame. The bedplate includes a fixed bed part, right leg-raising parts and left leg-raising parts. The fixed bed parts are secured to the bed frame. The right leg-raising parts are rotatably coupled, at one end, to one end of the fixed bed part. The left leg-raising parts are rotatably coupled, at one end, to the end of the fixed bed part. Said ends of the fixed bed part are spaced in the transverse direction of the bed frame. A bed part driving mechanism is provided on the lower surface of the bedplate. The mechanism drives one or both of the leg-raising parts of either pair, in a rising direction.
