The inner faces of the 5 paired bed ends each have a slot through which a mattress frame bracket projects. A wheeled carriage inside the bed end rides on an upright guide and the bracket projects from the guide. The rise and fall motion is supplied by a linear actuator whose small movements are multiplied by a third order lever. The frame is thus lifted by a pair of such pedestal ends. 101/4 14 46 8 16 - 16 10 1 1 42 40 28 36 28 28 22 o 32 -22 2 46 48 26 30 FIGURE 1
