Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a boom for lifting and rotating seat and lying arrangements, such as bath seats and the like, consisting of a, attached to a lifting and rotating device, horizontal support arm on which vertical support rails for receiving support means, such as seat and lying trays are attached .
  • Such lifting and lowering, rotatable about a vertical axis seating and lying arrangements are used for the transport and storage of sick and disabled and are generally used in facilities to facilitate nursing.
  • bathing facilities they enable the safe and comfortable transfer of patients into and out of bathtubs, which are adapted to the ergonomic needs of the operating and care staff and therefore cannot be used by disabled people without outside help.
  • Such bathtubs have different widths and heights and also differ in the Bevelling of their narrow ends on the head side.
  • bracket transfer devices according to the preamble of claim 1 are already known, in which the brackets are welded together as tailor-made individual items from tubular and profile-shaped elements.
  • the individual elements are held in rigid mutual association, for example by means of templates, and connected by welding.
  • Such assembly processes are complex and involve the known disadvantages of welding technology.
  • the measurement required for each system must be carried out in great detail and with great accuracy, because later welding, for example during assembly, is not possible or only with great difficulty because of the welded construction. Qualified personnel familiar with the system are therefore required for this step.
  • the device and labor required for the true-to-size welding of such a boom is considerable, so that one cannot speak of a quick and inexpensive assembly.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a boom for liftable and rotatable seat and lying arrangements, such as bath seats, which, when assembled, varies in terms of the dimensions of the appara tive and structural conditions. This should make previous measurements largely superfluous and thereby facilitate order processing.
  • the innovation also aims to create a boom that can be built from a few standard parts manufactured in large series and in which the storage is simplified and the production is cheaper. This object is achieved according to the invention with the means as characterized in the version of the independent claim. Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the essential elements of the invention according to the construction concept namely the horizontal support arm, the connecting pieces and the compression fittings are function-related and not system-related, i.e. can be used again and again regardless of a system in the same version.
  • the alignment of a boom to the individual application is done by dimensional adjustment during assembly.
  • the construction elements such as the connection technology, one can therefore speak of a modular structure.
  • the same individual parts that are standardly produced in standard sizes can be used. This results in the advantage of simple production and an uncomplicated disposition of the material requirements.
  • the modular individual parts according to the invention are designed so that they are easy to assemble on site and also easy to dismantle and have a relatively low weight.
  • the boom according to the invention is therefore excellently suitable for assembly on the spot where work often has to be carried out under difficult conditions due to structural or other difficulties. Any shortcomings in the workmanship can be easily corrected later.
  • the maintenance of the boom and the corresponding instructions for the maintenance personnel are greatly simplified due to the easy interchangeability of the individual parts. It is obvious that the improvements achieved with the invention, such as easy adaptability after assembly, modular construction, assembly on site, and simplified maintenance also offer economic advantages: the manufacture of the boom is cheaper, the costs for their assembly and maintenance noticeably reduced, and so generally cost effective solution achieved.
  • the invention is described below in its application as a supporting structure for a bathtub seat, but the principle on which it is based can also be used correspondingly for other seating and lying arrangements.
  • Fig. 1, 1 denotes a tub body for installation arrangement, in which a bathtub seat 3 held by the extension arm 2 is in the bathing or care position 4.
  • the boom 2 which will be explained in detail later with reference to FIG. 3, consists of the horizontal support arm 6, the vertical support rails 7, 8 for receiving the bath seat 3, the connecting blocks 9, 10 between the horizontal support arm 6 and vertical support rails 7, 8 as well as a handle 11 that can be rotated and folded away.
  • the horizontal support arm 6 is detachably fastened at one end to the piston rod 13 via the clamp screw connection 12, as a result of which the boom 2 can be raised and lowered and rotated about the cylinder axis 14 in the hydraulic cylinder 15.
  • a rotatable and foldable handle 11 is articulated on the horizontal support arm 6, with a handpiece 16 and a guide groove 17 for limiting the rotation.
  • a bathtub body 1 can also be used for free-standing installation, and instead of the bathtub seat 3, a lying arrangement can be mounted on the vertical support rails 7, 8.
  • the hydraulic unit 18 provided for operating the hydraulic lifting device contains an electric motor 19 and a vane pump 20 and is via a Hydraulic line 21 connected to the hydraulic cylinder 15.
  • Fig. 2 shows the solid and broken line Bath seat 3 in bath position 4 inside the bath body 1 or in receiving position 5 outside the bath body 1.
  • Each connecting block 9, 10 is divided into two clamping jaws 32, 33 by an incision 31 running parallel with a pair of opposing rectangular boundary surfaces 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. These are held together at their free ends 36 via the compression fitting 46 and rigidly connected to one another at their fixed ends 37 by the web 38.
  • the clamping jaws 32, 33 can also be connected by a hinge which can be swung out against one another.
  • the inner surfaces 39, 40 of the clamping jaws 32, 33 together enclose a clamping bore 41 whose axis 42 in the incision plane 43 lies and stands at right angles on the cuboid boundary surfaces 25, 26.
  • connection 46 When the clamping screw connection 46 is tightened, the inner surfaces 39, 40 are pressed against the horizontal support arm 6 on all sides, and this is thereby connected to the connecting blocks 9, 10 in a force-fitting manner.
  • the support rails 7, 8 are guided in holding bores 44 running at right angles to the clamping bore 41 and parallel to the incision plane 43, secured therein with locking pins 45 and thereby connected in a form-fitting manner to the connecting blocks 9, 10.
  • the connection can also be made non-positively by means of a compression fitting.
  • the horizontal support arm 6 is by means of the clamping screw connection 12 at the upper end of the
  • the piston rod 13 is fastened and can thus be raised and lowered along the cylinder axis 14 and rotated about the same in the hydraulic cylinder 15.
  • a handle 11 At the other end of the horizontal support arm 6 there is a handle 11 which can be rotated and folded away, with a handpiece 16 and guide groove 17 as a stop for limiting the angle of rotation .
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 To explain the mode of operation of the boom 2 according to the invention, reference is made to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and it is assumed here that the boom 2 must be adapted to a newly erected, narrower pan body 1 and the treatment or care position should be set higher for ergonomic reasons.
  • a narrower seat shell 48 Because of the narrower tub body 1, a narrower seat shell 48 is initially to be mounted on the vertical support rails 7, 8.
  • the clamping screw connections 46 are loosened and the cuboid connecting blocks 9, 10 are displaced relative to one another until the vertical support rails 7, 8 have come so close that the narrower seat shell 48 can be mounted thereon.
  • the bathtub seat 3 is transferred into the bathtub 47 and held at a fixed mutual distance cuboid connection blocks 9, 10 so moved in synchronization on the horizontal arm 6, until the seat pan 48 in bathtubs q uercardi the desired location between the longitudinal sides of bathtub occupies. If the displacement of the connecting blocks 9, 10 along the horizontal support arm 6 is not sufficient to position the seat shell 48 transversely in the tub body 1, the horizontal support arm 6 in the piston rod 13 can be displaced horizontally by loosening the clamping screw connection 12, resulting in an additional possibility of variation For the positioning of the seat shell 48 in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub, a first coarse adjustment takes place by means of differently shaped vertical support rails 7, 8.
  • a second fine adjustment is achieved in that the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding holes 44 of the front or the rear Clamp bake 32 and 34 of the connecting blocks 9, 10 are guided. Furthermore, by rotating the cuboid-shaped connecting blocks 9, 10 around the horizontal support arm 6, the inclination of the seat shell 48 with respect to the vertical can be changed such that the seat back with the associated narrow side of the bathtub runs approximately parallel. After the seat pan 48 has been adjusted in the transverse and longitudinal directions and in terms of its inclination to the new tub body 1, these settings are fixed by tightening the compression fittings 12 and 46. When treating patients, the nursing staff must be given the option of an ergonomically optimal one To occupy a working position.
  • the bath seat 3 in addition to the aforementioned displaceability of the bath seat 3 transversely, longitudinally and obliquely to the bath 47, its height adjustment is also important. This is ensured in two ways in the boom 2 according to the invention.
  • the bath seat 3 can also be adjusted in height relative to the arm by moving the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding holes 44.
  • the bathtub seat 3 is brought into the receiving position 5 outside the bathtub body 1, where the patient can be placed on the seat shell 48 safely and comfortably.
  • the seat and patient can then be raised by means of the hydraulics so far over the edge flange 49 of the tub body 1 until an unimpeded pivoting into the area above the Bathtub 47 is possible.
  • the bath seat 3 automatically lowers into the lower end position in the bath body 1, which, due to the height adjustment of the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding bores 44, also represents the therapeutically and ergonomically correct bathing position 4.
  • the return from the bathing position 4 to the receiving position 5 takes place in an analogous manner. Both displacements take place safely since the patient is secured against falling in particular by the handle 11.
