Abstract: A wheeled bed apparatus includes a planar supporting surface stretched between a plurality of upper longitudinal and transverse tubular members forming a patient platform. The platform is pivotably affixed to a plurality of vertical tubular support members maintained in an erect, use position by a plurality of transverse frame members and diagonal braces. Hand wheels associated with two large supporting wheels permit propulsion of the apparatus by a patient while reposing atop the supporting surface. Coupling elements joining the various tubular members permit collapsing of the apparatus for storage.
