A patient-support apparatus (20) includes a base (22), a patient support (26) carried by the base (22), at least one side guard panel (44) pivotably connected to the patient support (26) for movement between first and second positions, and a combined hinge and latch assembly (60) configured to pivotably connect the side guard panel (44) to the patient support (26). The combined hinge and latch assembly (60) includes a mount (74) fixedly connected to the patient support (26), a hinge member (70) fixedly connected to the side guard panel (44) and rotatably connected to the mount (74) for pivoting movement about an axis (136), and a stop mechanism (128) coupled to one of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74). The hinge member (70) is movable along the axis (136) between a locking position in which the stop mechanism (128) engages the other of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) to prevent relative rotation between the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) and a releasing position in which the stop mechanism (128) is disengaged from the other of the hinge member (70) and the mount (74) to allow relative rotation between the hinge member (70) and the mount (74).

Un appareil (20) d'assistance pour patient comprend une base (22), un support (26) pour patient porté par la base (22), au moins un panneau de protection latéral (44), relié pivotant au support (26) pour patient et destiné à avoir un mouvement entre une première et une seconde position, ainsi qu'un ensemble (60) charnière et loquet configuré pour relier pivotant le panneau de protection latéral (44) au support (26) pour patient. L'ensemble (60) charnière et loquet combiné comprend un support (74) relié de manière fixe au support (26) pour patient, un élément de charnière (70) relié de manière fixe au panneau de protection latéral (44) et relié rotatif au support (74) pour permettre un mouvement de pivotement autour d'un axe (136), ainsi qu'un mécanisme de butée (128) couplé à l'élément de charnière (70) ou au support (74). L'élément de charnière (70) est mobile le long de l'axe (136) entre une position de verrouillage dans laquelle le mécanisme de butée (128) vient au contact de l'élément de charnière (70) ou du support (74) afin d'empêcher une rotation relative entre l'élément de charnière (70) et le support (74), et une position de libération dans laquelle le mécanisme de butée (128) est libéré de l'élément de charnière (70) ou du support (74) afin de permettre une rotation relative entre l'élément de charnière (70) et le support (74).
