Tender-foot protector cage

Abstract

The invention is a lightweight cage to protect sore and tender feet when patient is reclining in bed. The top support tubing of the cage holds bedclothes well above the feet and legs. The cage is constructed of PVC/plastic tubing. The front elevation's gradual sloping to the back is made possible by a combination of Elbows and Ts. The tubing is smaller in diameter than the connectors. After coating tubing ends with liquid cement they are easily inserted into connectors. A tight firm bond is achieved. Unit is easily cleaned thus preventing harmful bacteria build-up.

 The devise as set forth in  claim 1  is supported by a series of vertical and horizontal tubular pipe connected by a plurality of T's, elbows and spacers, including a downward extension on lower portion of the back vertical tubing which abuts mattress and rests on mattress foundation. For safety reasons the bottom tubing is encased in cylindrical insulated foam. Adjustable straps looped around bed frame encircle the insulated tubing giving stability to the above described devise.
