DESC:BACKGROUND
Technical Field
The embodiments herein generally relate to a peculiar hospital bed and more particularly to, a head and foot bows for hospital bed having an in built cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) board profile.

Description of the Related Art

Presently the CPR board is imported in India as there is no local manufacturer in India. Therefore, we have supply issue and hence the cost for the CPR Boards in the market is in on the higher side. The Head/foot bows 104 which are available in market have different designs and shapes. However, there remains a need for a CPR board which is integrated in the hospital bed itself so that the cost for additional CPR board is eliminated and some portion of the existing hospital bed can be converted into a make shift CPR board so that the hospital staff does not go searching for CPR board during an emergency situation.

SUMMARY
The embodiments herein provide a head and foot bows for hospital bed which includes a CPR board profile integrated within the bow structure of the head and foot portion of the bed, wherein the CPR board profile is located on lower portion of the bow structure which is having a dipped portion on surface of the bow with a depth, length and width such that to rest a patient’s head within the profile, a multiple mounting brackets to mount the bows on either ends of the bed, wherein the mounting brackets facilitate the bows to be in vertical position and horizontal position when required, a multiple clip plates to secure the bow, which is mounted on either ends of the bed, tightly with the mounting brackets; and a cover plate to cover the metal clip plates.

In an embodiment, the bows may include several hollow sections to grip the bows while employing the bow in vertical or horizontal position. In an example embodiment, the bow is made from a rigid material such as plastic, ABS, fiber-reinforced plastic, etc. or like.

The embodiments herein has multiple clip plates which may be made from a metal. The cover plate to cover the metal clip plates is made from plastic or like.

The appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architectures, interfaces, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. That is, those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are included within its spirit and scope. In some instances, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail. All statements herein reciting principles, aspects, and embodiments of the invention, as well as specific examples thereof, are intended to encompass both structural and functional equivalents thereof. Additionally, it is intended that such equivalents include both currently known equivalents as well as equivalents developed in the future, i.e., any elements developed that perform the same function, regardless of structure.

The present embodiments herein provide a peculiar hospital bed having a head and foot bows for hospital bed having an in built cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) board profile. Referring now to the figures, more particularly to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, preferred embodiments are shown.

FIG. 1 illustrates a hospital bed with a CPR board profile 114 according to an embodiment mentioned herein. The head bow or foot bow 106 lies in the dual purpose a foot end to the bed (a necessity in all the hospital beds, widely accepted and demanded in the market) AND an inbuilt CPR Board profile in the back side of the Head/Foot Bow which could be required in CPR emergencies.

FIG. 2 illustrates a clip metal plate 110A and a cover plate 110B arrangement fitted in the hospital bed according to an embodiment mentioned herein. Here the metal clips 110A are mounted below the head or foot bow in order to facilitate folding and unfolding of the head and foot bow smoothly. The clip metal plates is covered by a plastic cover plate 110B.

FIG. 3 illustrates a mounting bracket for attaching head and foot bow portion of the hospital bed according to an embodiment mentioned herein. The mounting bracket 110 hold the head and foot bow in place along with the bed.

FIG. 4 illustrates a head bow portion of the hospital bed having a CPR board profile according to an embodiment mentioned herein. In the present embodiment, the bed will have an in-build CPR board which can be used during emergencies by simply removing the Head/Foot Bow and invert shown in the fig. and rest the patient’s body in such a way that the patient’s head is resting on the protruding CPR profile and start giving the CPR. This way the hospitals can save substantially on the CPR board costing and arrangement of an extra space to store the CPR board.

Also the panic situation of finding CPR board during such emergencies could be avoided and it can result in to many patients lives saving. Here, the CPR board profile 114 may be integrated within the bow structure 106 of the head and foot portion of the bed, wherein the CPR board profile is located on lower portion of the bow structure which is having a dipped portion on surface of the bow with a depth, length and width such that to rest a patient’s head within the profile.
In an embodiment, a multiple mounting brackets 112 may be used to mount the bows on either ends of the bed, wherein the mounting brackets facilitate the bows to be in vertical position and horizontal position when required. In one embodiment, a multiple clip plates 110A may be used to secure the bow, which is mounted on either ends of the bed, tightly with the mounting brackets.

In an embodiment, the bows may include several hollow sections 116 to grip the bows while employing the bow in vertical or horizontal position. In an example embodiment, the bows may be made from a rigid material such as plastic, ABS, fiber-reinforced plastic, etc. or like. The multiple clip plates 110A may be made from a metal. The cover plate 110B to cover the metal clip plates may be made from plastic or like.

The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveal the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments.
