Abstract
A locking mechanism for a roll-in cot which is conveniently hand operated by the same attendant using an aft release handle used to lower the roll-in cot from its upright or elevated positions. The locking mechanism includes a stationary portion and a movable portion rotatably mounted on the stationary portion such that the movable portion is movable in a substantially vertical direction from a securing position to a release position, and vice-versa. The locking mechanism also includes a catch lever to hold the movable portion in the release position when so placed. The movable portion is biased in the securing position such that release of the aft release handle causes the movable portion to transition back into the securing position. To operate the aft release handle, the attendant must manually place the movable portion of the locking mechanism in the release position.
