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 45):
An apparatus adapted for use in combination with a bed having a deck, a mattress residing on the deck and having a foot end and a head end and an upper surface, a sheet residing on the mattress, and a drive mechanism located below the upper surface near the head end of the mattress and operable to pull the sheet toward the head end of the mattress, comprising:\n a housing which contains at least a part of the drive mechanism, the housing including a slot extending along the housing, and wherein the drive mechanism is operable to pull the sheet into the housing via the slot, the housing further including an access door movable relative to the housing thereby to permit access to the inside of the housing; a controller operatively connected to the drive mechanism; at least one LED status indicator operatively connected to the controller, the controller adapted to control the activation of the at least one LED status indicator, the at least one LED status indicator providing the user with at least one of the following indications: power, angle of housing, housing access door status, and pulling device enabled.
