20110041254 | FLUIDIZED BED - A person-support apparatus comprises a frame, a container, a gas permeable cover, a rigid diffuser, a fluidizable medium, and a cushion. The container is supported on a frame and includes a base and a plurality of sides coupled to the base. The base cooperates with the sides to define an opening opposite the base. The gas permeable cover is removably coupled to the container and covers the opening to define a chamber. The rigid diffuser is positioned within the chamber proximate the base. The fluidizable medium is positioned between the rigid diffuser and the gas permeable cover. The cushion is coupled to the diffuser and positioned between the gas permeable cover and the rigid diffuser. The cushion is configured to provide cushioning support between a person supported on the gas permeable cover and the rigid diffuser. | 02-24-2011 |
20110099721 | WEIGHT EFFICIENT FLUIDIZED PERSON-SUPPORT APPARATUS - A fluidized person-support apparatus comprises a container, a fluidizable medium, and a volume occupier. The container is supported on a frame. The container includes a base and a plurality of sides coupled to the base. The base cooperates with the sides to define a chamber with an opening opposite the base. The fluidizable medium is positioned within the container. The volume occupier is buoyantly suspended in the fluidizable medium. | 05-05-2011 |
20110138538 | WEIGHT EFFICIENT FLUIDIZED BED - A person-support apparatus comprises a container and a gas permeable support. The container is supported on a frame. The container includes a base and sides extending from the base to define an opening opposite the base. The gas permeable support is positioned within the container and cooperates with the base to define a chamber. The gas permeable support includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is generally parallel the base. The second portion is coupled to the first portion and forms an obtuse angle therewith. The gas permeability of the second portion varies as a function of the distance between the second portion and the opening. | 06-16-2011 |
20120110743 | FLUIDIZABLE MEDIUM SUPPORT BED - A fluidizable medium support bed includes a bed body, a blower, a support board, a diffuser board and a metal frame. The bed body includes a support cavity for supporting a fluidizable medium. The bed body includes an expanded polystyrene (EPS) body and a coating covering all outer surfaces of the EPS body. The blower is connected to a bottom surface of the support cavity to provide an airflow. The support board has a plurality of ventholes and is disposed on the bottom surface of the support cavity. The diffuser board is disposed over the support board, wherein the diffuser board is permeable to air but impermeable to the fluidizable medium. The metal frame is disposed over a circumference of the support cavity. | 05-10-2012 |
