Abstract: The invention relates to a bed (10), particularly a hospital or nursing bed, which is provided with a bed frame (20) that comprises two side portions (26) on the lateral sides, a head end (21), and a foot end (23). Furthermore, the bed (10) is provided with a mattress support structure (30), which comprises a back section (32) that can be adjusted, a seat surface section (34,36), and a lower leg section (38) that can be adjusted, and with a base (12) under the bed frame (20), wherein the base (12) comprises an end (15) on the foot end side that faces the foot end (23) and an end (17) on the head end side that faces the head end (21). The mattress support structure (30) is divided into a section (30b) on the foot end side and a section (30a) on the head end side along a dividing plane (44) extending substantially parallel to the foot and head parts (24,22) of the bed frame (20).

Abstract: A bed, in particular a sickbed or nursing bed, comprises a height-adjustable bedstead to be supported on a floor, a fixing brake having an actuator adapted to be moved between a braking position and a release position and to be operated by hand or by foot, and at least one brake element which is pressed to the floor in the braking position of the actuator, and is spaced apart from the floor in the release position of the actuator. The actuator is adapted to be automatically placed into the brake position by a bedstead element when the lowermost position of the bedstead has been reached.

Abstract: A bed, in particular a sickbed or nursing bed, comprises a height-adjustable bedstead having a frame comprising frame side parts and frame transverse parts and, in the region of the frame transverse parts, legs connected with each other in pairs by means of cross bracings. The legs have lower ends supported on a floor and, at their opposite upper ends, are supported and slidably guided at guiding profiles extending in parallel to the frame side parts. Further, the bed comprises two lifting assemblies each having a drive unit comprising a housing, and a pushrod adapted to be moved out of the housing and into the housing by the drive unit. The two lifting assemblies are arranged in the region of the frame side parts, leaving a space for accommodation of an adjustment drive for an adjustable mattress supporting device.
