Patent Images
1. A deflector attachment for an adjustable bed comprising:
- a member;
a first surface formed on said member, said first surface having a first end, a second end and a longitudinal axis;
a second surface formed on said member, said second surface having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis, said first end of said second surface being joined to said first end of said first surface so that said longitudinal axis of said first surface forms an obtuse angle with said longitudinal axis of said second surface; and
an elongated connector for attaching said member to an adjustable bed, said elongated connector being attached to said member within the obtuse angle such that at least a portion of said member extends outwardly, beyond the adjustable bed.

Abstract
A deflector for attachment to a vertically adjustable hospital bed so that when the bed is raised or lowered the deflector engages equipment that is attached to the wall and moves the bed frame away from the equipment to prevent damage thereto. The deflector comprises a vertically oriented member having a pair of surfaces that form a predetermined angle with one another so that one surface engages the equipment as the bed is raised and the other surface engages the equipment as the bed is lowered.
