An articulating bed which incorporates a support frame for an articulating section having a seat section and an upper body support section. An actuator with a ram is pivotally attached to the upper body support section with a bracket. A lumbar actuation lever is pivotally attached to the ram and extends from a torque tube rotatable in bearing blocks mounted to the upper body support section. Angle arms extend from the torque tube and are attached to a lumbar support element through apertures in the upper body support section. The lumbar support element is retracted against the upper body support section with the ram in a first position creating minimal deflection in a lumbar region of a mattress supported on the upper body support section. The torque tube is rotated with the ram in a second position extending the angle arms through apertures to elevate the lumbar support element. A second actuator having a second ram is pivotally supported by a second bracket extending from a brace element of an actuation mechanism of the upper body support section. A head support bracket is pivotally attached to the second ram and mounted to a neck angle adjustment section. The neck angle adjustment section is aligned with the upper body support section with the second ram in a first position. The bracket is urged to rotate the neck angle adjustment section about hinge elements to provide an angled head and neck position with respect to the upper body support section with the second ram in a second position.本發明揭示一種連接床,其併入用於具有一座墊區段及一上體支撐區段之一連接區段之一支撐框架。具有一頂桿之一致動器藉由一托架而可樞轉地附接至該上體支撐區段。一腰部致動桿可樞轉地附接至該頂桿且自可在安裝至該上體支撐區段之軸承座中旋轉之一扭矩管延伸。角臂(angle arm)自該扭矩管延伸且透過該上體支撐區段中之孔隙而附接至一腰部支撐元件。該腰部支撐元件在該頂桿處於一第一位置時抵著該上體支撐區段縮回以在支撐於該上體支撐區段上之一床墊之一腰部區域中產生最小偏轉。該扭矩管在該頂桿處於一第二位置時旋轉以使該等角臂延伸穿過孔隙以升高該腰部支撐元件。具有一第二頂桿之一第二致動器由自該上體支撐區段之一致動機構之一撐條元件延伸之一第二托架可樞轉地支撐。一頭部支撐托架可樞轉地附接至該第二頂桿且安裝至一頸部角度調整區段。該頸部角度調整區段在該第二頂桿處於一第一位置時與該上體支撐區段對準。該托架在該第二頂桿處於一第二位置時經推動以使該頸部角度調整區段圍繞鉸鏈元件旋轉以提供相對於該上體支撐區段之一成角度頭部及頸部位置。10‧‧‧支撐框架12‧‧‧連接系統14‧‧‧座墊區段16‧‧‧座
