Multi-purpose bed table movable bed{40 s length under patient{40 s control

Abstract

Abstract The apparatus'' is characterized by a table positioned above a bed yet not resting thereon, which table is equipped with legs on each side of the bed, which legs are attached to the said table at their upper extremity and having rollers on their lower ends to sit on and move over the floor; the bed has at least one side rail that has a length-wise open channel throughout substantially its length, a flexible cable or substantial cord that is affixed at approximately the mid-height of legs to the legs, which cable passes over a pulley affixed to one end of the bed and over another pulley at the other end of the bed. The movement of the table lengthwise of the bed is controlled by, preferably, a motor with a shaft and a wheel over which the flexible cable passes to be moved one direction or the other. Yet other means can be used, such as an additional pulley or more, over which the cable passes, with pull ends on the cable to be moved one down and the other down when the other is in an up position.
