PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bed apparatus which enables a patient to easily lie on his or her stomach with the upper body elevated simultaneously.SOLUTION: The floor part is formed of a group of rod bodies, in which adjacent rod-shaped bodies are mutually connected and terminal ends 5 provided at both the sides of the group of rod bodies connecting mutually, and any openings can be provided between both terminal ends. The group of rod bodies connected to each other and terminal ends 5 can be moved in the connecting direction, respectively. A rod bodies 3 and 3 are connected so that the group of the connected rod bodies are not curved downward from the horizontal position, but curved upward therefrom, and the group of rod bodies and both terminal ends are moved to the connecting direction by mechanical transmission moving means from a power source capable of moving both terminal ends separately or synchronously and controlling the moving speed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT【課題】患者が上半身挙上伏臥姿勢等に就くことを容易にするベッド装置の提供。【解決手段】床部分が、隣接する棒状体3が相互に連結された棒状体群と、該相互に連結された棒状体群の両端に設けられた終端部5とで形成され、該両終端部の間に、任意の開口を設けることができる。これら相互に連結された棒状体群および終端部5はそれぞれ連結方向に移動可能とされている。棒状体3と棒状体3は、連結された棒状体群が水平位置より下方には湾曲不能で上方には湾曲可能に連結されており、棒状体群および両終端部の連結方向への移動を、両終端部をそれぞれ単独にまたは同調して移動可能とするとともに移動速度を調節可能とする動力源から機械的伝動移動手段を用いて行う。【選択図】図1
