Definitions

  • the object of the invention relates to the technical sector of means of transport for the sick and disabled.
  • devices for transferring people from a wheelchair to a bathtub.
  • These devices consist in particular of a seat supported by a supporting structure on which it can pivot or straps attached to a gantry crane or to a motorized rail suspended under the ceiling or even a seat on a trolley fixed above the bathtub .
  • the device according to the invention has been designed which, judiciously placed near a bathtub for example, allows the patient or the disabled person to transfer from his chair to the device and then to place himself in the bathtub and vice versa, independently and with the greatest of ease.
  • the device comprises a fixed support structure which can be positioned at any suitable point near a bathtub or other transfer location; said structure is equipped to carry an adjustable height bracket mounted with free rotation on the structure and which receives at the end a transfer seat; the displacement in height at least of the bracket relative to the structure being obtained from a motor member controlled by a means accessible to the user when seated on the seat of the device.
  • the bracket is mounted on the support structure with a variable rotation capacity by means of a hollow upright subject at these ends to pivot axes associated with support plates of the structure.
  • the seat is rotatably mounted on the stem, that the seat is linearly adjustable along the stem, that the stem is lockable in at least one angular position relative to the structure and unlockable by the user installed on the seat, that the height adjustment of the stem relative to the structure is obtained by a motor-reducing member actuated by a control accessible by the user installed on the seat and that the other relative movements are also controlled by any means accessible to the user installed on the seat.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the apparatus according to Figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a plan view corresponding to FIG. 2.
  • Figures 4 and 5 are schematic plan views illustrating two positions extreme features of the device.
  • Figure 6 is a front view illustrating another embodiment of the apparatus.
  • Figure 7 is a plan view corresponding to Figure 6 with dashed lines a 90 ° position of the bracket.
  • Figure 8 is a plan view showing a different positioning of the apparatus relative to the bathtub.
  • the apparatus according to FIGS. 1 to 5 firstly comprises a fixed support structure (A) having a vertical beam (1) fixed in any suitable manner between floor and ceiling, between floor and partition, on partition, or as illustrated, only on the ground by a sole (1a).
  • the upper part of the beam is connected to a horizontal plate (1b), while another horizontal plate (1c) is fixed in the lower part of the beam.
  • an assembly comprising a hollow upright (4) connected at the lower part to a casing (5) containing a motor-reducing member (not shown) intended to move in height by rolling along the upright (4), forming a rail, a support member (6) or carriage forming part of a seat-holder assembly (C).
  • a squared support (8) At the lower part of the vertical arm (7b) is mounted with free rotation in (13) a squared support (8) on which is fixed a seat (9).
  • the square support is part of a deformable parallelogram device (D) composed of two parallel crosspieces (8a and 10) and two parallel coupling bars (11 and 12).
  • the crosspiece (8a) is integral with the squared support (8) thus being movable relative to the vertical arm (7b) of the bracket, while the rear crosspiece (10) is articulated at (14) at the rear of the horizontal arm (7a) of the gallows.
  • the tie rods (11 and 12) are connected at the front to the crosspiece (8a) by pins (15), pass through pins (16) articulated under the crosspiece (10), and their rear end forms a ring (11a and 12a) to be connected with free articulation around two fixed lateral columns (17 and 18) carried by the upper plate (1b) of the fixed structure and by bent legs (1d) integral with the beam (1) of said structure.
  • the seat (9) keeps the same orientation relative to the structure all along its pivoting.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 it is understood that with a device thus produced and judiciously arranged, a patient or a disabled person in a wheelchair can easily transfer himself into a bathtub. For this, he approaches the device to grab a remote control (19) of the gear motor assembly, or a sealed manipulator (21) fixed on the stem (7) to bring the seat, then he placed in the seat (9), acts on the remote control or the manipulator to raise said seat above the bathtub.
  • He can then either by manually pulling on an articulated bar (20) fitted along the bathtub (broken lines in Figures 4 and 5), or by resting on the ground by his feet, or even by a complementary arrangement of the remote control or the accessible manipulator acting on a gear integrated in the casing (5) and controlling the pivoting of the seat carrier (C), place yourself above the bathtub, then descend into said bathtub.
  • the bar (20) can then be pivoted inside the bathtub ( Figure 5) to serve as a support bar or support for serving tray.
  • the bracket (7) associated with the carriage (6) sliding the upright (4) fixedly carries a seat (22).
  • the seat (22) passes from a position perpendicular to the bathtub (for transfer from the chair) to a position parallel and superimposed on the bathtub ( for diving in the bath).
  • This additional equipment allows the device to be very precisely adapted to the position of the bathtub in the room.
  • the relative movements of the seat relative to the stem (rotation, translation) as well as the pivoting of the bracket relative to the structure can be controlled in the same way as the displacement in height of the bracket on the upright (4) of the structure, that is to say by a manipulator or a remote control.
  • a device comprising a link (24) articulated on the upper plate (1b) of the structure and to a vertical rod (25) located within easy reach of the user seated on the seat of the apparatus.
  • the rod is articulated by a spacer (26) to a lever (27) itself centered on a yoke (28) formed in the plate (1c) of the structure.
  • the rod (25) switches the lever (27) so that its free end enters a notch in the plate (1c) when the bracket reaches the position outside the bathtub.
  • unlocking release of the lever
  • a sleeve (29) or handle can be provided on the rod to facilitate gripping.
  • the seat can be replaced by a carrycot, by straps; the amplitude of the angular displacement can be variable according to the needs, in particular in another targeted application concerning the transfer of a person from a wheelchair into a vehicle for transporting the like minibuses, ambulances, vans ...
