Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a transportable wheelchair positioning system of the type used to elevate and position wheelchairs in order to facilitate and improve accommodation of handicapped persons in every-day wheelchair usage when undergoing dental examination, hairdressing, etc., and whenever it may be necessary to position the wheelchair by inclining and/or elevating it, being a positioning system with the capability to achieve the different degrees of inclination and/or elevation needed, as well as the combination of both movements.
  • the inconvenience of having to move the handicapped person out of their wheelchair to the corresponding chair, for which two or more people may be necessary, is thus avoided, as well as the handicapped person's discomfort as a consequence.
  • the positioning system of the present invention has been designed, as will be shown in detail below, in order to avoid these inconveniences.
  • the transportable wheelchair positioning system of the present invention is used to provide improved mobility to handicapped people and, having the capability for elevation and inclination, facilitates any position by combining the two movements, so that for activities such as hair washing or dentist appointments, among others, these movements give the handicapped person total adaptability to any height or degree of inclination.
  • This positioning system is formed by three structures joined by two articulations whose movement is controlled by two motors:
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of the transportable wheelchair positioning system, and a wheelchair about to be installed onto the positioning system.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the combination of the positioning system with an elevated and inclined wheelchair.
  • Figure 3 shows a side view of that which is represented in figure 1 and includes a view of the articulated zone.
  • Figure 4 shows a side view of the whole of the positioning system and wheelchair in static position.
  • Figure 5 shows a side view of the whole of the positioning system and wheelchair in elevated-inclined position.
  • the transportable wheelchair positioning system of the present invention consists of a base structure (1) that serves as a stabilising and movement element, as it includes wheels (2) that facilitate transportability; an elevation structure (3) (see figure 3), two drives (51) and (52) that facilitate elevation and inclination movements controlled by a button.
  • An structure for inclining and sustaining the wheelchair (4) that includes a backrest (41), an adjustable headrest (42), both cushioned, and two wheelchair support arms (43) that adapt to different widths and heights, located one on each side of the backrest; these support arms being adjustable in length by moving them inside a swivel joint attached to the backrest, and also including a security device that keeps the wheelchair fixed on with no possibility of release when the device is activated. And a lower part with barer plates or shoes (43) attached so that the back wheels of the wheelchair fit perfectly into the inside facilitating the fitting of different wheel widths.
  • the elevation structure (3) is articulated over the base structure (1), and over the former, the wheelchair inclining and sustaining structure (4) is articulated.
  • the movement of the two articulations is governed by two thrust and traction motors.
  • the first motor (51) makes the inclining structure revolve around the elevation structure to obtain wheelchair inclination.
  • the second motor (52) makes the elevation structure, and with it the inclining structure that sustains the wheelchair, revolve around the axis that joins it to the base, obtaining the elevation of the system.
  • the two motors act independently, so that for each degree of elevation the wheelchair can be inclined to horizontal position, and through all intermediate degrees of the two extreme positions.
