Abstract: A recumbent headrest suspension system (10) comprises a pair of frames (13) that suspend a bridge-like fabric platform (8) adjustable for height, droop, and angle. The system functions as a sleep pillow alternative that allows a user to customize support to meet anatomical needs and comfort, distributing weight-bearing forces and minimizing restlessness by shifting pressure points. In one embodiment (FIG. 2A), the suspension system includes a U-shaped base or platform (5, 7b/7a) adapted to be placed beneath a mattress or bed, supporting a vertical frame member (4) connected to a horizontal frame member (3). The horizontal frame member includes a central roller (1) that suspends the fabric platform (8) and enables rotational adjustment, while user-activated control elements adjust platform tension or droop, the tilt of the horizontal frame member (3), and the height of the vertical frame member (4).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pillow and belongs to the technical field of bedding. The pillow comprises an outer pillow cover and a pillow core, wherein the pillow core is detachably filled in the outer pillow cover. The outer pillow cover comprises a first fabric layer and a second fabric layer, and a first phase-change material layer is arranged on an inner surface of the first fabric layer. The pillow core comprises an elastic material layer and a second phase-change material layer arranged on an outer surface of the elastic material layer.

When the second phase-change material layer is far away from the first phase-change material layer, the pillow can provide a moderate cooling effect.

Abstract: A robotic transfer device is an unmanned vehicle carrying an articulated body that can load, unload, and transport a payload. The configuration of the articulated body is such that one of the degrees of freedom is along a vertical axis so that it can lift a payload from the bottom. At the tip, the articulated body has a roller bed which can be moved up or down with or without a payload. When the rollers rotate about their own axes, the payload moves linearly along the direction of motion perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This phenomenon helps transporting the payload from one robotic transfer device to another. If a patient bed is detachable from the frame, then the robotic transfer device can lift the bed along with the patient. A robotic transfer device and a method of transferring patient from one robotic transfer device to another are disclosed.

Abstract: A patient turning device for a patient support apparatus. The patient turning device includes a first and second bladder assembly each including a plurality of layers and seals defining a bladder volume. The bladder volumes are selectively inflatable with fluid to expand the respective bladder assembly, and consequently move a patient support surface of the patient support apparatus. A portion of a lower layer of the first bladder assembly and a portion of an upper layer of the second bladder assembly define an overlapping region of the bladder volumes. The patient turning device is coupled to an underside of a carrier sheet and positioned between a crib assembly and a bottom cover. An augmenting feature is configured to resiliently expand as at least one of the first and second bladder assemblies receives the fluid to move at least a portion of the crib assembly away from a patient support deck.

Abstract: A patient transport apparatus is provided for use with a retainer of a transport vehicle. The patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure comprising a patient support surface to support a patient. An engagement member is coupled to the support structure and arranged to engage the retainer when unloading the patient transport apparatus from the transport vehicle. A dampener is operable in a standby state or a resistance state such that the dampener provides increased resistance to movement of the patient transport apparatus in the resistance state as compared to the standby state. The resistance state of the dampener is activated by manually moving the patient transport apparatus in a first direction and the standby state is activated by manually moving the patient transport apparatus in a second direction, opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A cover for an elastic pad and furniture has at least one inner core layer comprising an elastic material layer, an outer wrapping cover removably wrapping the at least one inner core layer, and stop hems folded downwards from peripheral edges of the cover, forming an inner space configured to receive and shield a pad layer of the elastic pad. Only the outer wrapper need be removed for cleaning. The stop hems extend about the peripheral edges of the cover to form the inner space for receiving and shielding the pad layer of the elastic pad when the elastic pad is assembled. Assembly of the elastic pad is made more convenient and storage space required for the elastic pad is reduced.
