Patent number: 6604252Abstract: An air mattress with alternate lifting function consists of a plurality of air pouches and side pouches. The side pouches are longitudinally located under the transverse air pouches. The side pouches are inflatable alternately to enable two sides of the air mattress moving up and down alternately to give a patient's body lain on the air mattress sideways exercises. The air pouches may be inflated alternately and synchronously with the inflation of the side pouches to alter pressing areas on the patient's body to prevent the patient from suffering harmful effect resulting from impeded blood circulation due to prolonged pressure exerting on the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignees: Apex Medical Corp.Inventors: Daniel Lee, Terry Tu

Patent number: 6457377Abstract: A renovated brake structure for an auxiliary moving device comprises a grip, a cover, a brake wire and a handle. The cover is secured to the handle and the grip is pivoted to the cover. The grip is secured to one end of the brake wire with a stud, whereas the other end of the brake wire having a spring to urge the grip to resume to original position. The grip comprises a pair of linking rods with a rail and a connecting pin on each rod. Each linking rod is connected at one end to a stud which is to secure with on end of a brake wire. A pair of holes are formed at the front respective ends of the grip for insertion of the pins. An arc trough is formed at one end of the grip with an elastic stopper at one end and a locating hole at the other end. A stop pin extending from the cover is inserted through the arc trough of the grip to secure the grip to the cover.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2001Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Assignees: Apex Medical Corp.Inventor: Chun-Shan Hsu

Patent number: 5918336Abstract: An alternately inflated/deflated air bed being made by an arrangement of many air bag sets, each of them provided therein with a first air bag which is further provided therein with a second air bag. The first air bag thus is divided into two air chambers. An air pipe is provided on the first air bag for air intake and discharge. The second air bag is constantly kept inflated. The air bag sets are arranged in series. When the air bag sets of the odd and of the even numbers are alternately inflated/deflated by simultaneous discharge or intake of the two air chambers, the first air bags are inflated/deflated twice as much, so that a patient lying on the air bed obtains adequate ventilation by alternately changing contact points of his body with the air bed. When there is a power loss or machine failure which causes the first air bags to discharge, the second air bags support the patient to still feel comfortable.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 1997Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Apex Medical Corp.Inventors: Daniel Lee, Terry Tu

Patent number: 5669762Abstract: An air chamber structure for a medical air compressor, the chamber being provided between the pump and an air bed. Two flow guiding stubs are provided at an air input end to scatter air and render it to revolve in a storage chamber with a smaller space, the air is led into a larger pressure stabilizing chamber through a flow guiding port during continuous pumping of air into the storage chamber, and hence the output of the air can be stable and at a constant flow rate. An air output pipe is located on one edge opposite to the storage chamber, and air is uniformly spread in the pressure stabilizing chamber, and is put out from the output pipe at a constant flow rate, thus avoiding the disadvantage of generating resonance and wind noise in the inflated bed.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Assignee: Apex Medical Corp.Inventor: Daniel Lee
