Abstract (en)
Person support apparatus having a mechanism for raising and lowering the height of the person support surface. The apparatus includes a spring assist mechanism to assist the raising of the person support surface from its lowermost position. The spring assist mechanism is a coil spring inside a housing and biasing a bolt which engages the support for the person support surface and is compressed thereby as the person support surface reaches its lowermost position. The compressed spring then assists movement of the person support surface as it is raised away from its lowermost position.
