Abstract
A cot incorporating an cot mounted armrest is provided. The cot mounted arm rest includes a cot frame attaching member, an arm board, and a pivot assembly coupling the attaching member and the arm board. The cot frame attaching member is attached to a backrest frame of the cot and is movable along a portion of the backrest frame. The cot frame attaching member and an arm board are mechanically coupled via an arm board release mechanism. The pivot assembly includes a first pivot assembly portion mechanically coupled to the cot frame attaching member and a second pivot assembly portion mechanically coupled to the arm board. The pivot assembly permits movement of the arm board between an extended arm board position and a retracted arm board position. The extended arm board position is characterized by contact of a frame engaging surface of the arm board with a guardrail frame portion of the cot. The retracted arm board position is characterized by substantially parallel alignment of the arm board and the backrest frame portion.
