Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates generally to beds used in intensive use facilities and institutional settings such as military housing, prisons, jails, detention centers and psychiatric facilities. More particularly, the present invention comprises an intensive use bed which may have a contoured sleeping surface having fluid directing drains and channels to capture and remove liquids from the bed top. The bed may be molded in a flexible mold configuration. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Intensive use beds may be designed for use in demanding environments. Facilities housing individuals for rehabilitation from health or legal problems require beds for safely furnishing living quarters while being durable. Assembled furniture may present certain hazards in use in incarceration settings where furniture components and fasteners may be removed and turned into weapons. Plastic and fiberglass construction has replaced wood and metal by its ability to be formed into three-dimensional shapes without external fasteners. Fiberglass and plastic is generally more aesthetically appealing than steel or wood, and more resistant to damage. Wood furniture, for example is known to have problems with rotting, warping and bed bugs in these settings. Fluids can rot and damage wood furniture resulting in weakness and creating hard to remove odors. Likewise, fiberglass may crack and splinter if a direct force is applied and is heavy making it expensive to ship and hard to move. Manufacturing fiberglass furniture is also slow and involves custom production. 
         [0003]    Intensive use bed furniture is usually bolted directly to the floor or walls. Securing the furniture to the floor or wall further reduces the safety concerns on both the prisoners or patients and staff resulting in a safer environment. Preferably, the fixation method minimizes tampering or removal of the fasteners. 
         [0004]    Therefore, it is desirable to provide a securely attached, intensive use bed for such facilities having fluid capture and removal facilities, optional, additional load-bearing capacity and modular mold for forming a variety of configurations. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0005]    One embodiment of the present invention is directed to an intensive use bed for use in demanding environments, comprising a rotationally molded (referred to hereinafter as (roto-molded), one piece body with a sleeping surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of drains, tamper resistant adjustable glides and a means for fastening the bed to a floor. The drains may further be part of a means for removing loose fluids from the sleeping surface comprising drain passageways through structural supports integrally molded into the bed body and external channels formed on the sleeping surface. The channels formed in the sleeping surface may urge fluids to flow by the force of gravity to integrally formed drains extending through the bed body. Fluids on the bed include loose liquids such as urine, water or other substances. Fluids flow through the drain to an airspace below the bottom surface. 
         [0006]    The intensive use bed is supported by feet extending downward from the body to engage the floor. On or more of the feet may have a tamper resistant adjustable, glide mounted therein to level the bed and accommodate floor irregularities. An optional bariatric support may be mounted extending downward from the bottom surface. 
         [0007]    The bariatric support may mount in one or more of the drains or by removing material from the bottom surface and inserting a head end of the bariatric support therein. The head end of the bariatric support may be affixed by adhesive or welding or the like in the selected location for supporting the bed body intermediate the head board and the foot board. 
         [0008]    The drains may each have a drain body preformed and inserted into the mold prior to molding the bed or formed by fixtures in the bed mold. The drain body may further provide structural support between the top and bottom of the bed body. The drain body may be adapted in the bed to form a columnar support in the bed body between the sleeping surface and the bottom. The sleeping surface may further have a contoured surface to complement the force of gravity to urge fluids on the sleeping surface to flow to the drain. 
         [0009]    The headboard and foot board may each have a foot for engaging the floor or support surface. Each foot may be spaced from the body by a leg or formed directly on the bed body. Each foot may be adapted to receive and retain a tamper resistant glide for leveling and supporting the bed. The tamper resistant glide is adapted to secure its vertically adjusting mechanism within the foot to prevent removal or tampering. The bed is attached to the wall or floor by an attachment means minimizing exposed fasteners by use of a tongue and slot assembly at one end and fasteners to hold the bed to the floor. An optional flange may be mounted on the foot of the bed providing a tongue extending from the foot or for directly attaching to the floor. A flange anchor provides a mounting slot for difficult mounting locations such as next to a wall or in a corner of a room. The flange anchor adapted to slidably receive an extended portion of the flange to reduce the installations of fasteners when the bed is in place. 
         [0010]    The bed may be formed by a modular mold assembly for use with a rotational molding device. The modular mold may have preconfigured features adapted to be integrally molded onto the bed. The modular tooling may further have a modular configuration wherein the mold may be configured with and without certain molded features. As described herein, the bed may be molded with or without legs extending from the bed body to the feet. The modular mold has an opening surrounded by a flange adjacent the headboard and foot board proximate to the bottom wall and an attachment means such as bolt holes uniformly spaced around the periphery of each flange. A first modular leg mold attachment adapted to mold the desired feature is removably attached to the mold at the flange adjacent the headboard cavity and a second modular leg mold is likewise attached adjacent the foot board cavity. If the leg feature is not desired, the modular leg mold attachments may be removed and each replaced with a modular foot mold attachment to form the foot directly on the foot board and headboard respectively.
