More Information
Summary:A pivot joint particularly for hospital beds includes two hollow tubular mattress frame support members which are adapted to extend in longitudinal directions and each of which receives a pivot joint element. Each pivot joint element includes a substantially vertically extending member in the form of a column or tube which receives a clamping member such as a screw for clamping the joint element to the associated tubular frame of the bed. In addition to the vertical members, the pivot joint element includes cross-members extending transversely. One, or both, of the cross-members is provided with a slot extending inwardly therefrom which is adapted to be aligned with a slot of the tubular member and a support element or web for the mattress frame extends into the slot and is secured therein after the pivot member is secured to the tubular member. Each pivot joint member includes an arm portion which extends outwardly from the hollow tubular frame and which includes a transverse opening for a pivot pin to extend therethrough for pivotally connecting the joint elements together.
