Abstract

A hospital bed which includes a bed frame consisting of a center bed frame section and of a head bed frame section and foot bed frame section pivotal relative to the center bed frame section; the bed frame is supported relative to a chassis by way of a first intermediate yoke-like frame structure providing pivotal movement in either direction of the bed frame about a single transverse axis; the first intermediate frame structure is pivotally connected with a second intermediate frame structure to provide tilting about a longitudinal axis; the second intermediate frame structure which consists of a parallelogram-linkage system provides for height adjustments of the bed frame and is so constructed and arranged as to permit the bed frame to assume a nearly vertical position with the foot bed frame section at the bottom without interference from the transverse bearer member of the chassis.
