Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wheel chair for invalids of which the seat mounting and the base element after unlocking can be released from each other, the base element having guides which support the seat mounting and in which guiding means are movable to permit the removal of the seat mounting from the base element.
- a chair of the above type is known from US-A-4354791, which forms the basis of the preamble of claim 1 and discloses an invalid chair comprising a base element (11) and a seat element (12) which after unlocking may be removed from the base element (see particularly column 2, line 6 ⁇ column 3, line 7; figures 1-4).
- the base element carries tracks (36, 37) which receive casters (48) which support the seat element and which are movable along the tracks to permit removal of the seat element from the base element.
- the invention therefore provides a chair for invalids of the above type, constructed so that the releasable seat mounting of the chair for invalids is not only able to slide linearly to the vehicle but can also pivot and rotate so that the legs of the invalid are lifted upwards over the threshold of the vehicle.
- the invalid chair of the present invention differs from that as disclosed in the cited US document in that the guiding means (casters) are attached to a plate to which the seat mounting (seat element) is connected in such a way that it is able both to rotate and to tilt in relation to the plate. It would not appear obvious to modify the chair of the US document so as to achieve the chair of the present invention.
- the present invention thus relates to a chair for invalids of the type mentioned in the preamble characterised in that the seat mounting is connected to a plate and is made able to rotate as well as tilt in relation to said plate, which plate is provided with said guiding means.
- the guides preferably consist of tracks or rails and the plate is preferably provided with rollers or wheels which move in said guides.
- the chair for invalids in which the seat mounting defines four corners, is characterised in thatthe plate defines an upper surface, and in that the seat mounting is fixedly, but rotatably connected at a first rear corner to the plate, a second rear corner being rotatable over about the first rear corner connection over the upper surface of the plate and two front corners of the seat mounting being releasably connected to the plate, preferably by pins which fit into each other.
- the seat mounting is rotatable about the first mentioned corner, which is stationary in relation to the plate, the said second corner carrying out a movement in the surface of the plate or only mainly in the upper surface and the other remaining corners after unlocking being free from the plate.
- the first rear corner thus is made in such a way that it permits a rotatable as well as a tiltable movement of the seat mounting which is possible with a hinged pin construction.
- Other constructions which enable the said combination of movements are also applicable but the simple construction like the said pin construction is preferred.
- a stop means is arranged to prevent the seating when returning from shooting through. In the vehicle also a stop may be arranged to indicate when the plate has reached the proper position in the vehicle.
- the corner moving in the plate may run in a circular track arranged on the plate, preferably by means of a wheel. Since in use a relatively heavy weight is pressing on this corner it is not strictly necessary to arrange for an added guide in the plate to maintain the wheel on the surface of the plate, because that corner anyway is pressed on the plate by the load present. Moreover, during regular use a guide track will be made in the surface of the plate.
- the seat mounting may further be constructed in such a way that the centre of gravity in resting condition is lying as closely as possible before the line of connection of the two rear corners of the seating at the backrailing to facilitate the upwardly directed rotatable movement of the seat mounting with invalid.
- the expert is able to make the construction in such a way that the point of gravity will be situated in the desired area.
- the invention also comprises the combined system of a chair for invalids with accessory parts to move an invalid in and out of a vehicle, characterised by a combination of a chair for invalids according to any of claims 1-6 and transverse guides to support the seat mounting and plate in a vehicle, said transverse guides being supported by a base which in turn is mounted on a guiding system to be mounted in the vehicle with the transverse guides positioned transversely to the vehicle, the said transverse guides being equipped with means for limiting the travel of the seat mounting and plate thereon and the said guiding system being equipped with means to connect the seat mounting to the guiding system and means to lock the connection.
- the base element of the chair for invalids as well as the intermediary guides will then be demounted and put into the truck of the vehicle.
- the reverse sequence is used.
- the seat mounting is after unlocking moved out of the vehicle with a rotating as well as tilting movement and again fixed on the base element of the chair.
- FIGS. 1a, 1b and 1c sequentially represent a perspective view of the chair of invalids placed before a vehicle, an upper view of the part in the vehicle and an upper view of the base element with wheels, wherein the arrow indicates the direction of rotation of the seat mounting;
- figure 2a in perspective shows the moment at which the seat mounting is unlocked and is moved into the vehicle with a tilting and rotating movement, whereas figure 2b shows the same situation in upper view, the arrows indicating the combined movement of the seat mounting, which is represented by broken lines;
- figure 3 shows in perspective the situation that the seat mounting of the chair of invalids is moved into the vehicle and as represented by the two arrows is further moved to the front and is locked into means arranged therefor.
- FIG 1a 1 generally denotes a chair of invalids which comprises a seat mounting 2, which is solidly fixed to the plate 3, which below will be further illustrated, which plate in turn is fixed to the base element 5 of the chair, of which further the wheels 6 as well as the foot hold 7 with bars 8 and railing 9 are indicated.
- the threshold of the vehicle is indicated.
- Plate 3 is movable between guides 4 which can be connected to the intermediary guides 22 which are placed between the chair of invalids 1 and the vehicle 10.
- clamps schematically indicated by 21 through which each arbitrary movement is blocked.
- FIG 1b the part in the vehicle is shown consisting of a guiding system 12, on which the transverse guides 14 are arranged which serve for connection with the chair for invalids.
- a guiding system 12 on which the transverse guides 14 are arranged which serve for connection with the chair for invalids.
- 16 pins are schematically shown which are fitting with pins 15 present in the seat mounting to lock the seat mounting in the vehicle.
- FIG 1c schematically the base is shown with guides 4, which are able to mesh into corresponding transverse guides 14 in the vehicle by means of intermediary guides 22.
- Arrow 18 shows the rotation of the seat mounting while a pin-hinge connection and a wheel are schematically indicated at the corners 19, 20.
- the seat mounting is rotatable about the fixed pin-hinge connection at corner 19, the wheel at corner 20 being able to rotate in the surface of the plate 3.
- 21 schematically clamps are indicated which block any undesirable movement of seat mounting 2 in the plate, for instance if one drives up the pavement, in which case the front wheels have to be lifted as well as rotated.
- FIG 1a 17 schematically indicates a stop means which restricts the movement of corner 20 and thus the movement of corner 20 outside the plate 3.
- running wheels 23 (bearings) are visible, with which the plate 3 can be moved along the guide profiles which are bent like rails towards the vehicle and can be moved into the vehicle (see also figure 1a).
- the seat mounting further contains pins 15, preferably formed as hollow bars, which fit into corresponding pins 16 arranged in the vehicle, through which the seat mounting with plate, when this has been moved into the car, is fixed before the combination is locked.
- the open door of the vehicle is indicated with a dash-dotline (13).
- FIG 2b the connection between the base of the chair of invalids and the vehicle is indicated through the transverse guides 14 and intermediary guides 22.
- the broken line in figure 2b indicates the seat mounting which is rotated as well as tilted and moved towards the vehicle, of which the pin-hinge connection at corner 19 is abls to move over intermediary guide 22 in the direction of the vehicle while the wheel at corner 20 already has been rotated.
- the seat mounting In the drawn broken position the seat mounting is moved in tilted and rotated condition into the vehicle till the legs of the patient are brought into the vehicle, whereafter the seat mounting again is rotated back into its normal seating position.
- figure 2b three arrows are drawn (26, 27, 28) which respectively indicate the movements which are carried out by the seating in the face of the plate, i.e. a rotating movement, arrow 26 through the wheel at corner 20; a movement towards the car, arrow 27; and a movement along the car forwards, arrow 28, through base 29 when finally the seat with plate is brought into the vehicle, by which last movement the pins 15 and 16 (see above) are fitted together whereafter the combination is locked, such as by clamps.
- the fourth movement in figure 2b is not indicated, it is the upwardly directed tilting movement necessary to pass over threshold 11.
- FIG 3 shows the condition wherein the seat mounting of the chair of invalids thus the seat mounting 2 shifted with plate 3, is placed into the car.
- the arrows 24 and 25 indicate the last movements of the seat mounting in relation to plate 3 during transfer into the car, namely a proceeding movement according to arrow 24 till the pins 15 present in the seat mounting are fitting with the corresponding pins 16, with which the seat mounting in the car is fixed. With this last movement the seat mounting mostly is somewhat upturned to make movements more easy.
- a stop is indicated which marks the extreme position of the seat, while as well clamps not indicated are present which bolt the seat mounting with the plate and secure it.
- the rotatable and tiltable connection at corner 19 which preferably is made in the form of a pin which fits into an opening of plate 3 with hinge.
- the movable connection at corner 20 preferably consists of a wheel which is able to move over the plate and which can be moved over plate 3 in free condition as well in a guide.
- the number of steps which has to .be taken is restricted and relates to the provision of intermediary guides 22, the unlocking of the seat mounting, as well as the removal of the intermediary guide and the base element of the chair of invalids when the invalid is already in the car.
- the putting in the car can be made as one continuous movement in the form of a succession of tilting, rotating and progressing movements. Since the base element mainly consists of wheels and bars it is easily transportable and can be placed into the trunk of the vehicle. It is a further advantage that by means of the rails in the car part a front and backward movement in the car itself is possible by which the locking can be simply carried out.
