20110295167 | APPARATUS FOR MUSCLE LOOSENING AND REHABILITATION - Apparatuses for passive muscle loosening and rehabilitation are described. The apparatuses are assigned for patients who suffer from limited range of motion, stiffness, pain, inflammation, and dysfunction caused by muscles that have become tight, hard, stiff, and contracted due to over use, excessive exercise, repetitive motions, and a life time of usage, as well as other users who desire to keep their muscles loose. The operation principle of the apparatus is based on peg pressing during which pegs extend out of corresponding openings in the apparatus housing and put pressure on a desired part of human body, thereby providing muscle loosening in this part of human body. Different embodiments provide different ways of driving the pegs to extend out of the apparatus housing. | 12-01-2011 |

20140373273 | SHEET RECEIVER FOR PATIENT REPOSITIONING SYSTEM - A sheet receiver for a patient repositioning system includes a housing adapted to be supported at a first end of a bed deck and a pulling device located primarily within an internal compartment of the housing. The housing has an access door adapted to open and to close so as to provide access to the internal compartment via an opening, and the housing also has an elongated slot extending along a first end thereof, and spaced from the opening. A connector has an innermost end secured to the pulling device within the internal compartment and an outermost end removably attachable to a sheet located on a mattress supported on the bed deck. The connector spans substantially the length of the slot and may include at least one window near the innermost end, to facilitate cleaning of the internal compartment. The housing includes impeding structure which prevents the inadvertent insertion of the connector and/or the sheet into the internal compartment via the opening. | 12-25-2014 |
20150026882 | PATIENT REPOSITIONING SYSTEM WITH HAND CRANK CAPABILITY - A patient repositioning system for pulling a patient toward a head end of a bed includes a sheet, a mattress, and a housing which contains at least a part of a drive mechanism for operatively coupling to and pulling the sheet. The housing resides below a head end piece of the mattress, and is secured to the bed deck. The sheet pulling structure extends out of the housing via a slot and releasably attaches to the sheet, in a manner which has a low profile so as to pass through the slot. The sheet is longer than and wider than the mattress, and has beaded longitudinal side edges which are retained within rows of spaced retainers located on opposite sides of the mattress. During pulling of the sheet, the contoured shape of the housing facilitates movement of the sheet into the housing via the slot, even though the sheet width extends beyond the lateral edges of the mattress. Additionally part of the drive mechanism may be located outside of the housing, and could include a hand held electrically powered unit, or even a hand crank which is operated entirely in a manual mode to reposition the patient. | 01-29-2015 |
