Abstract

A ramp assembly for an articulating bed for preventing interference of a movable bed component with a stationary bed component comprises a ramp and a contact member. The ramp is attached to either the movable bed component or the stationary bed component. The contact member is connected to the other bed component in a manner such that it contacts the ramp. The contact member and the ramp cooperate to maintain a spaced relation between the movable bed component and the stationary bed component during movement of the movable component.
