Abstract:
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. The sheet may include indicia for indicating a “loaded” condition, and also usage indicia to indicate that it is time for a new sheet to be used.

Claim (Index 44):
A patient repositioning system comprising:\n a mattress having a head end and a foot end and an upper surface; a sheet residing on the upper surface; a pulling device operatively connected to the sheet and adapted to pull the sheet toward the head end with a patient residing thereon, thereby to reposition the patient; a housing holding the pulling device; an arrestor adapted to normally hold the sheet in place so as to prevent movement of the sheet toward the foot end of the mattress, and operable to selectively enable the sheet to be repositioned, reversed, or removed from the housing; and a controller operatively connected to the pulling device, the controller including a sheet release switch operatively connected to the arrestor.
