INVENTOR H. W. WRIGHT Wzdeifl lwn2zy BACK SUPPORT This invention relates to a back support or chair for use by a person to sit up in a bed.
It is an object of the invention to provide a back support against which a person may lean his back while sitting up in a bed. The back support bears rearwardly on the head board of the bed to prevent rearward sliding relative to the bed and carries a flange engagable with the edge of the bed to prevent forward movement relative to the bed. A seat may be attached to project forwardly from the back support, replacing the bed as a support base.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment on the invention:
FIG. 1 shows a front perspective view of a back support positioned on a bed; and
FIG. 2 shows a rear perspective view of the back support shown in FIG. 1.
The embodiment shown in the drawings consist of a back support adapted to be located in a bed 12 which includes a box mattress 14 and a headboard 15.
It will be seen that the present invention provides, for a person such as a bed patient, a back support or chair which is easily engagable with and disengagable from,
the bed and which, when positioned on the bed, is held against forward or rearward movement relative to the bed. The person sitting on seat 22 gives the back support additional stability.
It will be noted that if a frame surrounds the box mattress 14 or there is a mattress of a different type, downwardly extending flange 20 may rest against the outside of the frame instead of against the mattress, to retain back support 10 against forward movement.
It will also be noted that, within the scope of the invention, it is possible in other ways, well known to those skilled-in the art, to form the device so that arm 19, flange 20, or the angle between them is adjustable either for the comfort of the user, or to suit different types of bed.
I claim:
1. A back support for use with a bed having a mattress and a head board, comprising:
a back member sloping rom a lower edge portion upwardly and rearwardly to terminate in an upper edge lying in a vertical plane;
a fixed seat extending forwardly from the lower edge portion of the back member; and
a fixed arm extending rearwardly from the lower edge portion of the back member and terminating in a downwardly extending flange lying in a vertical plane parallel to the vertical plane of the upper edge of the back member whereby said upper edge lies against the headboard when the seat and the flange lie against the mattress.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1 in which the downwardly extending flange of the fixed arm lies in a plane coincident with the vertical plane of the upper edge of the back member.

Claims (2)
1. A back support for use with a bed having a mattress and a head board, comprising: A BACK MEMBER SLOPING FROM A LOWER EDGE PORTION UPWARDLY AND REARWARDLY TO TERMINATE IN AN UPPER EDGE LYING IN A VERTICAL PLANE; A FIXED SEAT EXTENDING FORWARDLY FROM THE LOWER EDGE PORTION OF THE BACK MEMBER; AND A FIXED ARM EXTENDING REARWARDLY FROM THE LOWER EDGE PORTION OF THE BACK MEMBER AND TERMINATING IN A DOWNWARDLY EXTENDING FLANGE LYING IN A VERTICAL PLANE PARALLEL TO THE VERTICAL PLANE OF THE UPPER EDGE OF THE BACK MEMBER WHEREBY SAID UPPER EDGE LIES AGAINST THE HEADBOARD WHEN THE SEAT AND THE FLANGE LIE AGAINST THE MATTRESS.
2. A device as claimed in claim 1 in which the downwardly extending flange of the fixed arm lies in a plane coincident with the vertical plane of the upper edge of the back member.
