A tilt mechanism is disclosed for adjusting the angle of rest of an infant contained within an infant incubator. The tilt mechanism comprises at least one bent rod that underlies the bed on which the infant is positioned. By rotating the bent rod, an offset shaped portion of the rod elevates one end of the infant bed. The rotation is effected by a handle located outside the incubator and which has a plurality of positions, each of which position is locked in place by a spring biased plunger that enters certain grooves formed in the interior surface of the handle. A push button pushes against the spring bias to move the plunger out of engagement with the grooves in the handle so that the handle can be rotated to another selected position. |
