Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower device, consisting essentially from a shower basin, one, on a horizontal frame held flexible shower curtain and a shower head with flexible hose connection. It is used in particular in the area of inpatient and outpatient senior and nursing care.
  • Such shower facilities are generally known.
  • DE 296 06 634 U1 discloses a stationary shower device which is integrated in a suitably tiled corner of a room, the linkage supporting the curtain cantilevering spanning the shower corner.
  • the horizontal linkage holding the shower curtain is held by preferably four support elements arranged vertically around the circumference of the shower base.
  • the shower curtain is opened by sliding it sideways on the frame to allow unhindered access to the shower facility. Finding the shower facility through the created opening thus presents hardly any difficulties for people with unlimited mobility.
  • the caregivers can not approach the shower basin on two opposite sides to lift and set down the person to be cared for in the area of the corner shower device, so that such a shower device is fundamentally not suitable for the desirable hygienic care of the physically impaired group of people suitable is.
  • the basic requirements for approaching the two caregivers on two opposite sides of the shower basin are given.
  • the lifting of the person to be detected on both sides into the shower device fails here, however, because the support elements located on both sides of the shower basin and supporting the rods and also the shower curtain stand in the way of the intended action.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a shower device, which allows unhindered access to the shower facility.
  • the advantages of the invention consist in the fact that unimpeded access of the patient to the shower facility on the one hand Accidents during the movement of the person to be cared for prevented and on the other hand the basic requirements for a new quality of hygienic personal care, especially in terms of of the musculoskeletal system be created.
  • a low height of the shower device realized so that this Not used requires a small amount of space and so also in Households with limited space have a storage option can be found.
  • the embodiments of the invention secure according to the claims 2 and 3 a simply constructed height adjustment device, which is a non-stationary facility, especially for suitable for outpatient and domestic use.
  • the features of claim 4 ensure a secure position of the boom in its upper position.
  • a shower facility can be realized that both suitable as a free-standing and portable shower facility as well can include a tiled wall surface of a room, so that it also as a stationary shower facility, for example in hospitals or retirement homes.
  • Claims 8 and 9 document features that make it possible that the shower curtain its predetermined storage on the circumference of the shower basin can experience and has a small volume.
  • developing the invention according to claim 10 created the conditions for a portable shower facility, with the easy change of location due to the wheels, in particular within a building.
  • the embodiments of the invention make it possible the claims 12 and 13 that for those to be cared for a convenient Posture in the shower facility is ingestible or that a drop in the person in the shower facility by the caregiver can be done at the front edge of the shower facility.
  • a shower device 1 which consists essentially of shower basin 2, a flexible shower curtain 4 held on a horizontal linkage 3 and a shower head 5 with flexible hose connection 6.
  • Other components of the shower facility are the hot and cold water supply lines with mixer tap, including a water heater (electric boiler) integrated in the shower facility with electrical connection lines or with external hot and cold water connections, a drain and a waste water collection tank with pump (all not shown).
  • the shower basin 2 is received by a support frame 7, which is equipped with lockable wheels 8.
  • the closed and rotating linkage 3 is connected to a height adjustment device 9, which also establishes the connection to the shower basin 2 or its support frame 7.
  • the linkage 3 can have an essentially rectangular, square or even annular shape (not shown).
  • the height adjustment device 9 consists of four support elements arranged at the corners of the substructure and designed as telescopic rods 10. To secure the position of the telescopic rods 10 in the extended state, detents 11 are provided.
  • the linkage 3 carries a shower curtain 4, which is formed from a plurality of horizontally extending slats 12, preferably made of plastic, which are connected to one another in a zigzag shape (FIG. 2) and can thus be folded onto one another.
  • FIG. 3 there is also the possibility of forming the lamellae 12 of the shower curtain 4 in the form of bellows, in order also to force the shower curtain onto the desired automatically folded shelf.
  • the use of a previously common shower curtain is also conceivable, which has no slats, but nevertheless folds when the boom is lowered.
  • the shower basin 2 there is still a seat 13 in the form a chair or even a reclining seat integrated, which at least a rail 14 arranged in the shower basin is adjustable is performed and thus in an area between the middle of the shower basin 2 and its edge can be moved.
  • the shower device 1 'shown in FIG. 4 differs from the previously described solution according to FIG. 1 in that the support elements designed as telescopic rods 10 are dispensed with and a height adjustment device 9' is used for this purpose, which consists of a double-sided on a rear wall 15 of the shower device 1 'arranged guide 16, into which the ends 17 to be guided or locked therein of the frame 3' designed in a bow-shaped and self-supporting manner can be engaged.
  • This rear wall 15 can both be a component of the illustrated portable shower device 1 'and also represent a tiled wall surface of a room and can therefore be used as a stationary shower device, for example in hospitals or retirement homes.
  • the guide 16 in connection with the ends 17 of the linkage 3 ' is designed as a lockable slide or roller guide or detent guide, not shown in detail.
  • Fig. 1 shows the shower device 1 in a state with shower interior shielded from the shower curtain 2 from the outside, with the rod 3 interacting with the height adjustment device 9 being fixed in its uppermost position, the locking device 11 is turned on the support elements designed as telescopic rods 10 are released and the linkage 3 moves in the direction of the shower basin 2.
  • the individual segments of the telescopic rods 10 are pushed into one another until the linkage 3 has reached the expanded area around the shower basin 2.
  • the shower curtain 4 automatically folds through the zigzag-shaped or bellows-shaped connection (FIG. 2 or FIG.
  • the caregiver can come to the side of the person to be cared for on opposite sides of the shower basin 2 and move along the shower basin 2, a balanced load distribution is made possible when transporting people and thus ensures increased stability of the caregiver.
  • the seat 13 occupied by the caregiver is moved back into the center of the shower basin 2 and its position is secured, the linkage 3 again in the upper position (FIG. 1) or to any other height by pulling out the telescopic rods 10 Support elements brought, whereby the required splash-proof shielding of the environment from the shower interior.
  • the rod 3 is lowered again with the shower curtain 4, the occupied seat 13 is moved along the rail 14 to the edge of the shower basin and the person to be cared for is lifted out of the shower device 1 by the caregiver.
