Foot controls for a bed
First Claim
1. A patient support comprising a frame having a base frame and an intermediate frame configured to move relative to the base frame between first and second positions, a deck coupled to the intermediate frame, the deck including at least one deck section configured to move relative to the intermediate frame between first and second positions, a mattress supported by the deck, a plurality of actuators configured to move between first and second positions to move the intermediate frame relative to the base frame and deck section relative to the intermediate frame, and a plurality of electrical foot-operated controls supported by the frame, each of the plurality of foot-operated controls being movable to a first position to control movement of at least one of the plurality of actuators to the first position and a second position to control movement of at least one of the plurality of actuators to the second position.
