Description
Vissco Overbed Table Standard (Adjustable Height, Non-Tilt Top)
Â
- Description: This is Vissco’s fundamental adjustable overbed table. It features a flat tabletop that can be easily raised or lowered to the desired height. It’s designed to slide under most beds or chairs, providing a stable surface for various activities.
- Material Details:
- → Frame: Typically constructed from Mild Steel (MS) tubular sections, often finished with epoxy powder coating or a chrome finish. Powder coating provides excellent durability and rust resistance, while chrome offers a more aesthetic and easily cleanable surface. The “H” or “U” shaped base is designed for stability and to slide under low-clearance beds.
- → Tabletop: Made from laminated wood (e.g., MDF with a laminate finish) or high-density plastic (e.g., HDPE or ABS). Laminate tops are durable, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean, often with raised edges or rubber beading to prevent items from sliding off.
- → Adjustment Mechanism: Usually a spring-loaded push-button system or a side knob/lever mechanism for smooth and easy height adjustment.
- → Wheels (Castors): Mounted on swiveling twin castors (wheels), typically 5.0 cm (2 inches) in diameter. These are often made of non-rusting material and include brakes or locking mechanisms on at least two of the wheels to ensure stability when the table is in use.
- Usability:
- → Height Adjustability: Allows the table to be positioned at the optimal height for the user, whether they are sitting upright, semi-reclined, or lying down. This accommodates different bed heights and user preferences.
- → Multi-purpose Surface: Ideal for eating meals, reading books or newspapers, writing, using a laptop, or engaging in light crafts and hobbies.
- → Easy Maneuverability: The wheels allow the table to be easily rolled into position over the bed or moved away when not needed, reducing caregiver strain.
- → Stable Base: The H-shaped or U-shaped base slides under most beds, providing stability without being intrusive.
- → Lock Wheels: Always engage the wheel locks when the table is in position and in use to prevent accidental movement.
- → Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the table's specified weight limit (typically around 10-15 kg for consumer models). Overloading can cause instability or damage.
- → No Leaning/Sitting: The table is designed for placing items, not for leaning on or supporting body weight for transfers.
- → Hot Items: Avoid placing extremely hot utensils directly on the tabletop, especially laminate surfaces, without a coaster to prevent heat damage.
- → Clearance: Ensure sufficient clearance under the bed for the base to slide in properly.
- → Height Adjustable: Customizable for optimal user comfort.
- → Mobile with Locking Castors: Easy to move and secure in place.
- → Durable Tabletop: Easy to clean and resistant to scratches.
- → Sturdy Frame: Provides reliable support.
- → Non-rusting Components: Suitable for healthcare environments.
Vissco Overbed Table with Tilting Top (Advanced Functionality)
Â
- Description: This Vissco model offers enhanced functionality with a tabletop that not only adjusts in height but can also be tilted to various angles. This feature is particularly useful for reading, writing, or using devices more comfortably.
- Material Details:
- → Frame: Similar to the standard model, typically powder-coated MS or chrome-plated steel, ensuring durability and stability.
- → Tabletop: Often a laminated wood or high-density plastic top, divided into two sections: a larger, tiltable section and a smaller, fixed section. The tiltable section usually has a raised lip or stopper to prevent items (like books or laptops) from sliding off.
- → Adjustment Mechanisms:
- Height: Spring-loaded push-button or side knob/lever for smooth vertical adjustment.
- Tilt: A ratchet mechanism or knob-based locking system allows the main tabletop to be angled (e.g., from flat to 45 degrees) and locked securely in position.
- → Wheels (Castors): Equipped with swiveling, non-rusting castors with locking brakes for mobility and stability.
- Â
- Usability:
- → Ergonomic Reading/Working: The tilting tabletop allows users to adjust the angle of their book, tablet, or laptop, reducing neck and eye strain. The fixed section provides a stable surface for drinks, snacks, or other items.
- → Versatile Activities: Excellent for art, puzzles, or any activity requiring an angled surface while confined to bed or a chair.
- → All benefits of the standard overbed table: Height adjustability, mobility, and stable support.
- → Lock All Adjustments: Ensure both height and tilt mechanisms are securely locked before use.
- → Weight Distribution: Be mindful of weight distribution, especially on the tilting section. Do not place heavy items on the tilted part without proper support.
- → Tiltable Tabletop with Fixed Section: Provides ergonomic angles for reading/working while maintaining a flat surface for other items.
- → Raised Lip/Stopper: Prevents items from sliding off the tilted surface.
- → Height Adjustable & Mobile: Offers full versatility and ease of use.
- → Durable & Stable Construction: Built for reliable long-term performance.
Healthshine Bedside Tiltable Table with Height Adjustable (Bedsy HTA / Standard Overbed Table)
- Description: Healthshine’s primary adjustable overbed table, often referred to as “Bedsy HTA” or similar models. It is designed to be a versatile bedside assist table, featuring both height and angle adjustability for varied use.
- Material Details:
- → Frame: Commonly constructed from solid chrome-plated steel for the “H” base and mast. Chrome plating provides excellent durability, rust resistance, and a clean, appealing finish.
- → Tabletop: Made from laminated wooden finish (e.g., MDF with a laminate top), often with rubber beading around the edges to prevent accidental slips of items. The table top is usually one large piece that can tilt.
- → Adjustment Mechanisms:
- Height: Often features a spring-assisted or pneumatic mechanism that allows for height adjustment with just a “slight upward pressure” or a simple lever, making it very easy for users or caregivers to operate. Typical range is 19 to 31 inches.
- Tilt: The tabletop can be tilted to various angles (e.g., for reading or writing) and locked into place.
- → Wheels (Castors): Mounted on four 2-inch swivel casters (wheels) that are 360° rotatable for easy maneuverability. These typically include brakes to lock the table in position.
- Â
- Usability:
- → Dual Adjustability (Height & Angle): The ability to adjust both height and tilt makes it highly adaptable for eating, reading, writing, using laptops, or engaging in hobbies.
- → Easy Operation: The focus on “slight upward pressure” or simple lever for height adjustment makes it user-friendly, even for individuals with limited hand strength.
