Definitions

• the invention relates to an auxiliary device for a bed, in particular a hospital bed, which consists of shafts arranged laterally to the two long sides of the bed, the shafts being rotatable about their longitudinal axis in order to wind a sheet from one shaft to the other.
• the beds which essentially consist of a bed frame, a resilient underlay (mattress) and an adjustable head section, have been adapted to the needs of patients and nursing staff in a variety of ways.
• the lying surfaces are adjustable in height.
• the head and foot sections can be varied and the bed frame can be moved.
• DE-OS 35 90 309 provides a sheet, which is arranged between two shafts, two opposite sides of the sheet being wound around one shaft each. In order to turn a person lying on the sheet, the sheet is wound from one shaft to the other, and the shafts and hinges on the side are difficult for the operating personnel.
• the invention has for its object to find a receiving device for the sheet to be wound up, which does not hinder the nursing staff, is easy to handle, can bring about any desired changes in the patient's position and can be easily attached to any conventional bed.
• the holding devices which can be attached to the head and foot ends, for receiving the waves, at different heights, can on the one hand bring the patient into any desired height and oblique position, and can also rotate into another desired position about his body axis. In the lower starting position, the waves and levers are in no way disturbing for the nursing staff.
• Fig. 1 shows schematically the tools to be attached to the bed for stretching and moving the cloth-like support.
• Fig. ⁇ a The view of a guide chamber - pair at the head of a bed.
• Fig. 7 A section through a shaft including the one with universal joints
• the mattress -3- is located between the head end -1- and the foot end -2- of the bed.
• the shaft -4a- is arranged parallel to the right edge of the bed. Both at the head end and at the foot end in the levers -5a- and -5b- is rotatably mounted.
• the levers -5a- and -5b- can be swiveled upwards towards the center of the bed, as can be seen in the positions indicated, whereby the shaft -4a- is lifted over the mattress -3- towards the center of the bed.
• a corresponding counter-rotating device is also attached to the left side of the bed.
• Fig. 3 shows a position with levers -5a- and -6a- slightly raised and lateral shafts -4a- and -4b- which have been raised up to that point. This is the safety position, because the patient cannot roll out of bed in this way.
• the raised waves -4a- and -4b- together with the support -7- form a barrier.
• Fig. 4 shows the patient after the position has changed from back to side.
• the levers -5a- and -6a have been pivoted even further upwards and the support -7- has lifted off the mattress -3-.
• the patient can be rolled onto his left or right side. His back areas are relieved of lying pressure, the stressed areas can be supplied with blood again, which prevents the development of sores (pressure ulcers).
• the device can be operated both by hand and by motor. In manual operation, the shafts -4a- and -4b- are rotated using modified hand cranks, all of which is done without physical effort for the nursing staff. It is also possible to carry out a regular, automatic change of the patient's position by equipping it with a program control. The times and the extent of the lever movements can be adapted to all requirements. 5 shows the patient in a lateral position, the position stabilization being achieved by further raising the waves to the left or right depending on the position.
• the special device can also consist of special guides and of electrical “hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders.
• 6a and 6b show the structure of the assembly unit to be attached to the foot end or head end of a bed with the levers 5a and 6a, which are each latched and pivoted in a guide chamber 8a or 9a.
• the levers 5a and 6a can be snapped into a locking plate 10a and 11a at fixed swivel heights.
• the two guide chambers 8a and 9a are connected to one another by means of the interchangeable intermediate plate 12. If, for example, the auxiliary device is to be mounted from a narrower bed to a wider bed, then the intermediate link which is decisive for the narrower bed only has to be replaced by a wider intermediate link.
• the levers 5a and 6a are each mounted in a guide chamber 8a and 9a, all moving parts that are prone to accidents are protected at the critical points.
• 7 shows the rotatably mounted shafts 4a and 4b with the levers 5a and 5b on a larger scale.
• the shaft In order to be able to compensate for different lever movements and also transverse displacements of the head part and foot part, the shaft consists of telescopically displaceable sections.
• the rotary sheet is received by the tubular middle part 13, into which one of the end parts 14 rotatably mounted on the levers is inserted, while the driven counterpart 15 is coupled in a rotationally secure manner to the middle part 13 by means of the pipe clip connector 16 extended by the middle part 13 and driven counterpart 15.
• the auxiliary device brings significant relief here.
• the levers of a shaft can be pulled apart for extension so that a 'ramp' protrudes above the edge of the bed, which can be brought to and at the level of the transfer table. Now the patient can be easily pushed out of bed onto the X-ray table or the like. 8 shows such a possibility of use.
• the right tube shaft is turned clockwise and the left counterclockwise.
• the patient can therefore not be rotated continuously in one direction of rotation, but must be rotated back and forth or left and right in the cycle.
