Abstract: A device for loading and transporting patients or other objects from an irregular supporting surface. The device includes a main cabinet on which is supported a carriage including a belt for extension into lifting engagement with the article to be lifted. Adjacent each side of the cabinet are adjustable panels each of which also includes a carriage and carriage belt for engagement with the article lifted jointly with the belt on the cabinet. Powered arms within the cabinet position the joined carriages uniformly toward and away from engagement with the lifted article. The cabinet carriage and the panel carriages are pivotally connected to permit positioning of the panel carriages in an inclined manner to locate same according to the inclination of the load to be lifted. For powering the carriage and panel belts a system of cable reels is provided with certain of said reels mounted on the carriages and displaceable therewith during load pick up and retrieval.

Abstract: Furniture frame rails are formed from composition board, e.g., particleboard, fiberboard, or the like, and the ends have extruded aluminum bands press fitted thereon to prevent splitting of said ends when said rails are assembled to a frame with a doweled joint.

Abstract: A footboard assembly for use with a bed to provide support and positioning of the feet of a bedridden individual includes a pair of brackets adapted for mounting on opposed side rails of a bed. Each bracket includes a right angle member with the upper, horizontal leg resting on the bed rail, and a clamping plate opposed to the lower vertical bracket leg for clamping the rail therebetween. Each bracket includes a collar joined to the vertical leg which slidably receives a vertical support member. A footboard is secured between the vertical support members and rests on the mattress of the bed. The footboard assembly is removably securable to beds of varying widths, heights, and rail configurations.

Abstract: An improved bedding assembly, particularly adapted for transport in a camper vehicle and utilizable in a camping mode comprises a mattress, top and bottom sheets and heat insulating means such as a blanket, bedspread or the like, disposed in stacked, non-slip relation and releasably interconnected along interconnection lines adjacent opposite long sides thereof, said sheets also being interconnected at the foot end but not the head end thereof. The top sheet and blanket are wider between the interconnection lines than are the mattress and bottom sheet so that a pocket, open at the head end, is formed between the top and bottom sheets, into which pocket the camper can dispose himself for sleep. The assembly stays together neatly regardless of the presence of the camper and so need not be remade after each night's occupancy. The assembly may further include a bed pad and a bedspread interconnected through zippers disposed along the interconnection lines.
