A bed for obstetrical and similar purposes, having a rigid support frame in two releasable modules which mounts a series of relatively movable mattress sections. When latched end-to-end, the two modules and the mattress sections are capable of being adjusted to various configurations to comfortably support a patient for labor, delivery and normal hospital care purposes. A center mattress section is movably supported on pivoted braces connected to the bed support frame. An upper mattress section is pivotably connected to the center section, and a lower mattress section is movably mounted to the bed support frame. Elevational adjustment is available between the abutting ends of the center and lower sections to expose the patient\s pelvic area. When necessary, the two modules can be detached from one another and leg supports can be used to provide access for difficult deliveries or other operations.

A combination labor, delivery and patient care bed comprising: a bed framework extending longitudinally between a head end and a foot end and having leg supports engageable with a floor surface; a first mattress assembly mounted on said framework for support of the head, trunk and pelvis of a patient; said first mattress assembly having parallel transversely spaced side edges extending between a first transverse end at the head end of the framework and a second transverse end intermediate the head and foot ends thereof; a transversely centered indentation extending inward from the second transverse end of the first mattress assembly toward its first transverse end, said indentation being spaced inwardly from the side edges of the first mattress assembly; a second mattress assembly mounted on said framework for support of the legs and feet of a patient; said second mattress assembly having parallel transversely spaced side edges spaced so as to present a longitudinal continuation of the side edges of the first mattress assembly and extending between a first transverse end at the foot end of the framework and a second transverse end intermediate the foot and head ends thereof; a transversely centered projection extending outward from the second transverse end of the second mattress assembly opposite to its first transverse end, said projection being spaced inwardly from the side walls of the second mattress assembly and being complementary to said indentation; said first and second mattress assemblies each having upwardly facing support surfaces; said projection being adapted to fit within said indentation when the respective second transverse end edges of the first and second mattress assemblies are in coplanar abutment with one another; and means for effecting relative movement between the respective second transverse end configurations of the first and second mattress assemblies to thereby remove said pRojection from within said indentation.
