Mobility and comfort auxiliary bed apparatus

摘要

The present inventions relate to a mobility and comfort auxiliary bed apparatus, and in particular to a modular and free-standing apparatus that is customizable with many components. In one embodiment, two spaced apart and parallel frame bars are provided, each with opposed vertical risers and a longitudinal rail that is positionable over a bed. An overhead grip such as a trapeze bar may be movably supported by the frame bars. A balance pole may be provided and be adjustably connected to both frame bars laterally and longitudinally. Assist rails and night stands may be further provided, and may be supported by one or more centrally located longitudinal supports underneath the bed. The present invention can be fixed to the bed and may be adjusted in width, length and mattress height to accommodate many components.

主权项

1. A system for use with a bed, said system comprising:
a first frame bar having a first frame bar longitudinal rail; a second frame bar having a second frame bar longitudinal rail; a first double cuff, said first double cuff having a first double cuff first cuff and a first double cuff second cuff that is fixed in a perpendicular orientation relative to said first double cuff first cuff, wherein said first frame bar longitudinal rail passes through said first double cuff and said first double cuff is movable relative to said first frame bar longitudinal rail; a second double cuff, said second double cuff having a second double cuff first cuff and a second double cuff second cuff that is fixed in a perpendicular orientation relative to said second double cuff first cuff, wherein said second frame bar longitudinal rail passes through said second double cuff and said second double cuff is movable relative to said second frame bar longitudinal rail; and a balance pole, said balance pole comprising:
a vertical portion having a base;a horizontal portion being laterally and longitudinally adjustable and securing said balance pole to both of said first frame bar longitudinal rail with said first double cuff and said second frame bar longitudinal rail with said second double cuff, said horizontal portion passing through said first double cuff and said second double cuff, wherein said balance pole is supported at said base and at two positions along said horizontal portion.
