Publication number: 20130111669Abstract: A support apparatus (10) for use in supporting a person, particularly a bariatric patient. The apparatus (10) is selectively convertible between a seat configuration for supporting the person in a substantially seated position and a table configuration for supporting the person in a substantially prostrate position. The apparatus (10) is both vertically and angularly adjustable in either configuration. The apparatus (10) includes enhanced lateral support provided by telescoping support cylinders (74, 76), and substantially automatically retracting foot support portions (50).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: Raye's, Inc.Inventors: Troy D. Parson, John L. Fitzsimmons, Donald Peach, Eric D. Boss

Patent number: 7334277Abstract: A low profile hospital bed includes a mattress support frame and pivotably mounted wheel frames. Lift actuators connecting between the mattress support frame and the wheel frames move the wheel frames between a folded position and an unfolded position. When the wheel frames are in the folded position, the lift actuators are relatively horizontal and thus unable to provide enough vertical force to move the wheel frames. Accordingly, connecting between the actuators and the wheel frames are leverage members which rotate and urge the wheel frames away from mattress support frame during an initial, first stage of movement as the wheel frames partially unfold. After the first stage of movement, the leverage members function as simple mechanical links between the lift actuators and the wheel frames as the lift actuators continue to power the complete unfolding of the wheel frames.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2006Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Raye's, Inc.Inventor: Michael Karl Johnson

Patent number: 6469263Abstract: The system of present invention is intended for use with a bed having a drive system for moving at least one movable section of the bed and a weight meter which receives transducer signals from transducers in the legs of the bed and displays a patient weight. In the system of the present invention the weight meter is operably coupled to the drive system so that when the drive system is activated, the weight meter automatically enters a hold mode wherein the weight meter stores the most recent weight value as a hold weight value. When the bed drive system is deactivated, the weight meter automatically returns to the operating mode by converting changes in the signals from the transducers into a change in weight value that is added to or subtracted from the hold weight value.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Raye's, Inc.Inventor: Michael Karl Johnson
