Lifting apparatus for patient support surface

The application relates to infant incubators and warmers, and more particularly, to the provision of a lifting mechanism for the patient support surface of an incubator and warmer. In this application, the lifting mechanism will be described as used in an incubator, but it will be appreciated that the mechanism will be useful in an incubator, a warmer, or combination incubator and warmer. An infant support for use with an incubator or a warmer or a combination thereof comprises a support surface having a head end and a foot end and a driver engageable with the head and foot ends. The driver comprises a first elevator and a second elevator. The first elevator is engageable with the head end and the second elevator is engageable with the foot end. The driver is movable to cause the head and foot ends to move between raised and lowered positions.
