Abstract: A lift system includes a support configured to maintain a bed frame thereon. The support is defined by a first swing arm opposing a second swing arm and a pivoting plate opposing an end plate. First ends of the swing arms are configured to swing outward about ends of the pivoting plate. Second ends of the swing arms removably attach to the end plate to form a rectangular structure for securely receiving a bed frame. The lift system also includes a storage unit defined by a lift gate configured within an interior of the storage unit. The lift gate includes a linear actuator for converting the support between a folded and an unfolded position by manipulating the pivoting plate coupled to the linear actuator. A controller is provided for controlling the lift gate.

Abstract: A supporting frame of an electric bed, which is used to be connected with a lateral board, includes a base, a supporting portion disposed on the base, and an extended supporter. At least a part of the supporting portion is movable relative to the base. The lateral board is adjacent to the edge of the supporting portion. The extended supporter has a transverse portion extended from the base toward the lateral board, and a connecting portion located at a free end of the transverse portion. The transverse portion and the supporting portion have a distance therebetween. The connecting portion is used to be connected with the lateral board, so that the lateral board of the bed frame is fixed by being connected with the base by the extended supporter, and the user is prevented from being pinched.
