Definitions

  • the invention concerns a lifting harness for handicapped persons comprising lifting bands for supporting the thighs of said person, lifting cords for supporting about the breast of said person and a belt to which the ends of the lifting bands and lifting cords are attached.
  • the object of the invention is to improve known harnesses, see e.g. DE-A-3604973, so that when the person is lifted in the harness in a sitting position the trousers can be moved down over the thighs so that the back of the person is exposed.
  • the harness is arranged to lift the person around the breast and under the thighs without the harness pressing too hard against the breast of the person.
  • the harness is easy to apply on a person in sitting position and the harness is also completely open from the beginning. It is not necessary to thread it on the legs of the person or breast or any other part of the person.
  • Fig. 1 is thereby a view of the harness in flat position and fig. 2 is a view of the harness with the belt tightened around a body of an imagined person.
  • the harness includes a broad belt 1, which preferably has an upholstery so that it comfortably can be tightened around the breast of a human being.
  • the tightening is carried out by two lifting straps 2, 3 each of which being connected with the first end and the second end of the belt respectively.
  • One eye 4, 5 is attached at each end of the belt above the connecting points for the lifting straps.
  • the belt is tightened around the breast of a person by that the first lifting strap 2 is brought through the eye 4 and is stretched while the second lifting strap 3 is brought through the eye 5 and is stretched whereby the two lifting straps 2 and 3 will be crossed against the front side of the person.
  • the lifting straps are then extended upwards and are so long that the ends of the lifting straps will end above the head of the person.
  • the lifting straps 2 and 3 have at least one eye 6 and 7 respectively in their free ends, but there are preferably arranged several eyes in order to adapt the lifting straps to the size of the person in question.
  • a first lifting cord 8 and a second lifting cord 9 are attached to the upper edge of the belt close to the fastening points for the lifting straps 2 and 3 respectively.
  • each of the lifting cords consists of a loop so that the belt can be lifted by the two loops.
  • the length of the loops are such that when they are stretched the lifting point is at the same level as the eyes 6 and 7 of the lifting straps 2, 3 when they are crossed over the breast and tighten the belt.
  • the belt will hereby not be tightened too hard on the breast of the person because the person is lifted in both the lifting straps 2 and 3 and the lifting cords 8 and 9 and the tension of the lifting cords and the lifting straps will be adapted so that at the same time the person will be held by the belt and be lifted by the belt.
  • lifting bands 10 and 11 are attached to the under edge of the belt.
  • Each of the lifting bands have a flat wide shape and the intention is that when the belt is tightened around the breast of the body, the lifting bands will be extended along the two sides of the persons downwards and under the thighs when the person is in sitting position. Therefrom the lifting bands are extended inwards and between the thighs and upwards so that the free ends of the lifting bands with an eye 12 and 13 respectively will be at the same level as the eyes 6 and 7 of the lifting straps.
  • the lifting bands have flat shape in the area where the lifting bands are passing under the thighs while from there and to the free end each band is formed as a sloop, which makes it possible to thread the first lifting band on the second one in the area between the thighs, see fig. 2. This secures a good grip around the thighs.
  • the harness is shown having about the shape which it has when it is tightened to the person.
  • the belt 1 is thus shown a bit foulded with the lifting straps being extended through eye 4 and 5 respectively and are corssed.
  • the lifting straps are tightened more than what is shown in fig. 2 so that the eyes 6 and 7 will reach the level where the free ends of the lifting cords are.
  • the lifting bands are shown in a low position, but when used the lifting bands are extended inwardly under the thighs and the ends with the eyes 12 and 13 are extended upwards to the lifting cords 8 and 9.
  • the lifting band 11 is extended through the lifting band 10, both lifting bands here having a form of a loop as said above.
  • the lifting bands are extended downwards from the belt and along the both sides of the person and then under the thighs.
  • a preferred embodiment has been described with a reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2.
  • a person should be lifted in a sitting position having the thighs supported by the lifting bands.
  • the lifting cords 8 and 9 could have several suspension eyes at different distances from the ends.

Abstract

Un type connu de harnais de levage pour personnes handicapées comprend une bande de levage, supportant les cuisses de la personne ainsi que des sangles de levage supportant la poitrine. Lesdites bandes et sangles sont reliées les unes aux autres par une de leurs extrémités, et reliées à un équipement de levage par leurs secondes extrémités, permettant de soulever une personne au moyen du harnais. Afin d'améliorer ce harnais de sorte que lorsque la personne est supportée dans le harnais dans une position d'assise, le pantalon de la personne peut être descendu sur les jambes de sorte que la région fessière de la personne est exposée, ledit harnais comporte une ceinture agencée pour soulever la personne autour de la poitrine. Des bandes de levage (10, 11) s'étendant de la ceinture et jusqu'en dessous des cuisses. Des sangles de levage (2, 3) tendent la ceinture et jusqu'en dessous des cuisses. Des sangles de levage (2, 3) tendent la ceinture (1) autour de la poitrine sans forcer de sorte que ledit harnais n'exerce pas de pression trop forte contre la poitrine de la personne. Le levage s'effectue également au moyen de la sangle de levage.
