Project Overview

Existing bed back angle control systems do not allow the operator to control the velocity of motion. A more intuitive control system, which give the user better control over the velocity, is desired. The user would be able to grasp a handle which operates according to a force-assist concept, and the velocity would vary with the amount of force applied. The bed back still needs to support the weight of a heavy patient, and be stable if power is lost.
