A bed headboard having a headboard panel (33) and means supporting the panel in a substantially vertical position and in at least one inclined position, the supporting means comprising mounting means (19) adapted to be secured at the end of a bed (25) characterised by strut means (15) pivotally connected at a lower end to the mounting means and at an upper end to the panel at a position distant from the top and bottom of the panel, the strut means being arranged to extend substantially at right angles to the panel when the panel is in the said one inclined position. The headboard preferably comprises means preventing or limiting pivotal movement of the strut means in at least one direction relative to the panel to maintain the panel in an inclined position and is such that the lower edge of the panel is adapted to contact the bed whereby it is further stabilised by the weight of the user. The mounting means preferably comprises a hinge (24) having first and second parts which are pivotally interconnected for relative articulating movement, and wherein the pivotal interconnection allows relative endwise movement between the parts when they are in a given relative relationship to permit the co-operating parts of a latch disposed on the respective parts to engage to lock the parts relatively stationary. |
