krevet za osobe u invalidskim kolicima


Explanation:
radi se o krevetu koji je na određenoj visini, kako bi bio uporabljiv ljudima koji se služe invalidskim kolicima. Obični, niski krevet nije dobar jer je iz njega nezgodno ući u kolica, čije sjedalo je na višem nivou od kreveta. U ovom slučaju, "kneetop" označava da je površina madraca otprilike u visini koljena, što je u tom slučaju pogodno.

disagree  Karen Ordanic: In case of agriculture, these are plant beds (raised beds) accessible to disabled persons. See: www.carryongardening.org.uk/page01_2_2.asp I don't know the corresponding Croatian term.
