Patent Images
1. A patient support apparatus comprising:
- a lower frame;
an upper frame movably supported above the lower frame by a support;
a rail pivotably coupled to the upper frame and configured to maintain its angular orientation with respect to the lower frame as the angular orientation of the upper frame changes between a first angular orientation and a second angular orientation with respect to the lower frame; and
an equipment carrier including a socket mount configured to receive an equipment support, the equipment carrier being configured to movably engage the rail to move the equipment support from a first position to a second position with respect to the rail.

Abstract
A patient support includes a lower frame, an upper frame supported above the lower frame, an equipment carrier coupled to the upper frame, and an actuator operable to adjust the orientation of the equipment carrier to compensate for the upper frame changing its orientation between the Trendelenberg and reverse Trendelenberg positions.
