Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an improved accessory attachment apparatus for use in a hospital room, nursing home, or other medical facility. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved accessory bar or rail configured to be mounted on a bed to permit attachment of desired accessory items to the rail.
- It is known to use accessory rails mounted on a wall of a hospital room or to a frame of a hospital bed for supporting various accessory items. Accessory items are typically mounted to these accessory rails using known clamps. In addition, items can be hung from the accessory rails.
- Problems are associated with the use of such conventional accessory rails, especially when the rails are mounted on a hospital bed. First, the accessory rails may block the use of other items, such as siderails or barriers used to help keep a patient in the bed. Second, such known accessory rails attached to the bed frame can be difficult to clean. Fasteners that are used to secure the accessory rails to the bed provide areas that can collect dirt or other contaminants.
- Therefore, it is desirable to provide an accessory rail on the bed which does not interfere with any moving components of the bed or with operation of the siderail of the bed. In addition, the accessory rail should be easy to clean for use in a medical environment.
- US Patent No. 5522100 describes a mobile bed with a frame including side members to which a side rail and a transfer board mechanism are mounted. The transfer board mechanism can be replaced by an accessory rail.
- The present invention provides a rail apparatus configured to be mounted to a frame of a bed as a unit, the apparatus comprising an elongated mounting rail, at least one mounting bracket for coupling the mounting rail to the frame, an accessory rail coupled to the mounting rail and being configured to receive accessory items, and a siderail pivotally coupled between and supported by the mounting rail and the accessory rail.
- The present invention provides an accessory rail integral with the siderail barrier of the bed. The improved structure of the present invention permits the use of any length siderail with an accessory rail. The accessory rail is preferably incorporated into a bottom or lower weldment of the siderail assembly and can also act as a perimeter bumper and provide a near zero transfer gap to facilitate moving a patient from the bed.
- Since the accessory rail of the present invention is part of the siderail barrier assembly, it does not interfere with operation of any moving components of the bed or siderail. The entire accessory rail is preferably coated with a nylon based finish to provide a scratch resistant outer surface. The color of the finish can be selected to match the bed frame color so that the accessory rail is aesthetically appealing.
- In the illustrated embodiment, the siderail has a support comprising a plurality of tubes. Each tube has a first end coupled to the siderail and a second end coupled between the mounting rail and the accessory rail.
- In the illustrated embodiment, the accessory rail has a length which is longer than a length of the top rail of the siderail so that accessory rail extends beyond the siderail to facilitate mounting of accessory items to the accessory rail. The accessory rail extends beyond at least a first end of the siderail. Also in the illustrated embodiment, the accessory rail extends along substantially a full length of a side of the bed. The accessory rail includes first and second ends which are curved inwardly toward the mounting rail. The first and second curved ends of the accessory rail are welded or otherwise fastened to the mounting rail in the illustrated embodiment.
- The illustrated accessory rail has a rectangular cross sectional shape and is covered with a scratch resistant coating. A drain bag holder is coupled to the mounting bracket.
- In the illustrated embodiment, the first end each tube is pivotably coupled to the side rail and the second end of each tube is pivotably coupled between the mounting rail and the accessory rail so that the siderail is pivotable between an upright barrier position and a collapsed storage position. The second end of each tube is coupled to a bushing. Each bushing is pivotably coupled between the mounting rail and the accessory rail by a fastener.
- Additional objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.

- Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an integrated siderail and accessory rail assembly mounted on each side of a stretcher or bed;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating details of the integrated siderail and accessory rail assembly of the present invention;
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along lines 3-3 of Fig. 1 illustrating mounting of the siderail and accessory rail assembly to a frame member of the bed; and
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along lines 4-4 of Fig. 1 illustrating connection of an accessory item to the accessory rail using a suitable clamp.
-
- Referring now to the drawings, Fig. 1 illustrates a
bed 10 having abase 12 and aframe 14 coupled to thebase 12. Adeck 16 is coupled to theframe 14, and apatient support surface 18 is located on thedeck 16. Although a stretcher-type bed 10 is illustrated in Fig. 1, it is understood that any type of bed can be used in accordance with the present invention. Thedeck 16 may be an articulating deck which moves relative to theframe 14 in a conventional manner. - An integrated
rail assembly 20 of the present invention is mounted to opposite sides of thebed 10 to extend parallel to alongitudinal axis 21 of thebed 10. Therail assembly 20 is best illustrated in Fig. 2. Therail assembly 20 includes astraight mounting rail 22 having a length substantially equal to a length of thebed 10. Spaced apartmounting brackets 24 are coupled to themounting rail 22 for securing therail assembly 20 to thebed 10 as discussed in detail below. -
Rail assembly 20 further includes anouter accessory rail 26 for coupling various accessory items to therail assembly 20 as discussed below. Illustratively,rails accessory rail 26 has inwardly bent orcurved end portions 28 which are welded to opposite ends of themounting rail 22 atlocations 30. Therefore, a space orgap 32 is provided between themounting rail 22 and theaccessory rail 26. - A
siderail assembly 34 for thebed 10 is coupled between themounting rail 22 and theaccessory rail 26.Siderail assembly 34 includes atop rail 36 pivotably coupled to top ends ofsiderail tubes 38 bypivot connections 40. Opposite, bottom ends of thetubes 38 are pivotably coupled between themounting rail 22 and theaccessory rail 26 bylower pivot connections 42 as discussed below. Alatch plate 44 is coupled between anend tube 38 and themounting rail 22 andaccessory rail 26 to hold thesiderail assembly 34 in an upright position illustrated in Fig. 2. U-shapeddrain bag holders 46 are coupled to opposite ends of mountingrail 22. Astop 45 is coupled to onetube 38 forengaging frame 14 whensiderail 20 is in the upwardly pivoted in use position of Fig. 2. - Preferably, the
entire rail assembly 20 is coated with a Nylon-based finish to provide a scratch resistant outer surface. After themounting rail 22 and theaccessory rail 26 are welded together, therails base 12 offrame 14 ofbed 10. In addition, the accessory rail may be formed from stainless steel, or made from an injection molded plastic material or other suitable material. - Details of the connection of the
rail assembly 20 to thebed 10 are illustrated in Fig. 3. Themounting brackets 24 are illustratively U-shaped to fit over aframe member 48 ofbed 10. Mountingbrackets 24 are secured to framemember 48 bysuitable fasteners 50.Frame member 48 may be a swing arm pivotably coupled to thebed 10, if desired. Other suitable fasteners such as a clamping device may be used instead ofbrackets 24. - Also as illustrated in Fig. 3, each
tube 38 ofsiderail 34 extends into arotatable bushing 52 which is connected between mountingrail 22 andaccessory rail 26 by asuitable fastener 54.Wave washers 56 are located on opposite sides ofbushing 52. Aspacer block 58 is located betweenbushing 52 andaccessory rail 26. Therefore, siderail 34 can pivot from an upwardly pivoted barrier position shown on one side of thebed 10 in Fig. 1 and in Fig. 2 to a downwardly pivoted, storage position shown an opposite side of thebed 10 in Fig. 1. - After the
rail assembly 20 is coupled to the bed, thesiderails 34 can function in a conventional manner. Theaccessory rail 26 permits accessory items such asitem 60 in Fig. 1 to be mounted to theaccessory rail 26. Illustratively, aclamp 62 is used to secure theaccessory item 60 to theaccessory rail 26.Clamp 62 includes a C-shapedbody 64 for receiving asupport post 66. A threadedactuator 68 is rotatable to secure theclamp 62 to theaccessory rail 26. Illustratively, theaccessory rail 26 may be a 10mm x 25mm rail to accept standard European clamp sizes. - It is understood that any type of accessory item can be coupled to the accessory rail with a similar clamp. It is also understood that accessory items may include hooks or other means for coupling the items directly to the
accessory rail 26 without the need forclamp 62. - Since
accessory rail 26 is integral withsiderail 34, theaccessory rail 26 does not interfere with any moving components of thebed 10 or thesiderail 34. Theintegral rail assembly 20 of the present invention therefore permits theaccessory rail 26 to be used with a anylength siderail 34. As shown in Fig. 1, theaccessory rail 26 extends substantially the entire length ofbed 10. Therefore, theaccessory rail 26 provides a perimeter bumper for the sides ofbed 10. In addition, theaccessory rail 26 does not require any exposed screws or fasteners for mounting. This improves cleanability of theaccessory rail 26. - It is further understood that other types of support mechanisms can be used for the siderail. In certain instances, other pivoting arrangements may be used to secure the siderail to a bottom mounting including the mounting
rail 22 andaccessory rail 26. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 2,722,017 or 5,129,117.
