Abstract: A protective guard is disclosed that is particularly adapted for use with a bed frame. The guard is adapted to fit over an existing leg of the bed frame and has a specially shaped opening in the upper surface into which the leg of the bed frame can fit. A caster assembly has an upstanding stem that passes the existing leg in the leg structure and holds the protective guard in position affixed to the bed frame. The protective guard is shaped in a variety of configurations and surface markings so as to be adapted to fit the décor of the room in which it is used. In addition, the overall shape of the protective guard covers the leg of the bed frame to provide protection against injury from the inadvertent bumping of the bed frame leg by persons walking or standing near the bed frame. In one embodiment, the protective guard is an integrated shield and a caster assembly that is affixed to the leg of the bed frame and provides a protective plastic covering for the caster assembly as well as the leg.

Abstract: This enabler cover for use with hand rails on a bed comprises a pad which fits around the rails of the hand rails.

Abstract: A cushioning cover (10) that is initially planar in form is wrapped around a bed frame leg (56). An upper tongue (20) is inserted into and through an upper slot (26). In like fashion, a lower tongue (24) is inserted through a lower slot (28, 30). The tongues (20, 24) have enlarged portions (e.g. 38, 40) that function to lock the tongues (20, 24) into the slots (26, 30). When the cushioning cover (10) is placed on a bed frame leg (56) it provides an outwardly directed wall of cushioning material that will absorb a striking blow imposed on it by a person's toe or toes.

Abstract: This article is a padded gap protector for hospital beds that provides zero clearance no matter what the articulated position of the bed is. The pad remains in compression with the mattress and closes the gap between the mattress and side rails.

Straps secure the pad to a bed frame beneath the mattress to maintain compression and a V-shaped section with no material or a soft material maintains the zero gap when the mattress is in an articulate position. Another set of straps secure the top of the pad to the top rail of the bed rails.

Abstract: A protective and decorative mattress foundation curved corner guard is mold formed in a curved configuration with a wall portion of the guard having a radius of curvature approximately equal to a radius of curvature of rounded corners of a mattress foundation to which the corner guard is to be attached. Raised areas in the form of indicia are mold formed to protrude from a front surface of the curved wall.

When mold formed of a suitable plastic material, the curved corner guard, including the curved wall and raised indicia thereon, can be metal plated and polished.

Abstract: The invention provides a wall stop or spacer which is mounted on the hospital bed and impinges on the skirting of the wall near the floor should the bed be pushed towards the wall with resulting impact. Also, because the engagement is usually at right angles to the wall, the spacer has a width greater than the distance between the studs in the wall so that the load will be distributed across the studs. Further, because the impact is on the skirting, the impact takes place at one of the strongest pans of the wall where the wall plate and studs meet and the skirting passes over these pans to further reinforce the structure. The wall stop can be placed in a deployed position for engagement with the skirting or manually moved into a stored position under the bed to permit an attendant to walk behind the bed when the bed is moved from room to room.

Abstract: A protective cover (22) for disposition over a patient bearing structure, such as a gurney (10) comprises a liquid impervious membrane having a liquid absorbent pad (24) thereon. The cover (22) minimizes transportation of potentially infectious biological fluids to the gurney (10). The cover (22) is further provided with triangular corner flaps (46), (48), (50), and (52), which allow railings (14), (16), (18), and (20) to be raised or lowered without requiring the cover (22) to be unfastened.

Abstract: An infant's crib for newborn infants and infants beyond in age is made, whereby the infant will always have available breathing air, providing the infant with ample oxygen, and preventing the buildup of carbon dioxide exhausted by the infant, as this carbon dioxide is carried away by air circulating under the infant's crib. The infant is supported on permeable materials which in turn are supported on a crib frame. The permeable materials are positioned at a spaced distance over a supporting structure upon which portions of the crib frame are positioned. Preferably, two layers of permeable materials are used. The bottom permeable layer is strong enough to support the infant and has many openings per square inch. The top permeable layer, lying on the bottom permeable layer, is used to improve the comfort of the infant, and there are fewer openings per square inch. Both the top and bottom permeable layers are readily removed for cleaning.

Abstract: A protective cover for removable placement over the restraining side rails of a hospital bed.

Abstract: A self-retaining bumper pad for a bed is fabricated from elongated body of a soft, flexible material and includes a retention portion which fits between a side wall of the bed and an edge of the mattress and functions to hold the bumper pad in place. The pad further includes a shield portion which projects from the retention portion and overlies the side wall of the bed. The bumper pad cushions the side wall and also prevents a person who is in the bed from pushing an arm or a leg through the side wall of the bed.

Abstract: A bed rail cover for removable placement over a bed side rail comprises two spaced, opposed side panels joined along their side and top edges to a border strip, the panels and border strip being composed of an elastomeric material. A flap of elastomeric material attaches the cover to the bed, preventing bed occupants from placing their appendages through the gap between the mattress and the rail. Use of elastomeric material allows the cover to accommodate changes in the relative positions of the mattress and rails and between rail segments when the mattress position is adjusted.
