Abstract: A hospital bed has, at least at its head end, longitudinally extending inflatable mattress sections on each side of the bed. When those mattress sections are deflated, that portion of the bed can be narrowed to permit a nurse to move into the vacated space along side the bed and to permit hospital equipment such as an IV rack to be moved into the vacated spaced on the other side of the bed. Thus, the nurse can conveniently reach the patient as well as the patient care instruments on the opposite side of the bed.

Abstract: An inflatable suntanner comprising an upper transparent layer, a middle reflective layer and a bottom layer which are all made of flexible, gas impervious material. The middle layer is bonded to the upper layer at a plurality of upper joints and to the bottom layer at a plurality of lower joints, with the area or size of each upper joint being different from that of each lower joint so as to corrugate those portions of the middle reflective layer interconnecting the upper and lower joints. Accordingly, sunlight passing through the upper transparent layer and incident on the corrugated reflective layer is both evenly and irregularly reflected upon the side not exposed to the sun rays, of a user on the suntainner so as to expedite a homogeneous suntan.
