Description

[01] The present patent of invention refers to a device equipped with a rotation system that allows the rotation of bedridden patients who cannot move by themselves. The device is intended for the area of hospital and home resources to assist bedridden patients. It consists of a mechanical device capable of rotating the patient in bed, through the translation of a fixed tissue (sheet or traced) and wrapped in two side bars that enable lifting, locking and rolling or unrolling the tissue, turning the patient to the desired position .

[02] This device can be actuated by electrical or mechanical resources. The activation of the system can be automatic, by means of electric motors and control, or manually using cranks. The activation can be done by rotating the sidebar or positioning the arms.

[03] The device basically comprises two lateral bars arranged longitudinally to the bed. The bars are fixed to mechanical articulated arms, which in turn are fixed to the bed. The system makes it possible to position the bars on the side of the bed and/or on the mattress in a suitable position for the stability of the operation. After positioning the bars, the device provides conditions for rotating, rolling or unrolling a fabric (sheet or line), enabling the patient to move on the mattress without efforts by the patient or the system operator.

[04] Aware of the need to move and change the decubitus position of the debilitated patient with physical limitations, for decompression of the area under bony prominences, prevention of fatigue, maintenance of muscle tone and prevention of pulmonary complications, the clinical professional is asked to perform the movement with their own effort, alone or in a group, and currently this procedure is performed by the clinical professional or domestic helper's own effort to perform the maneuver.

[05] PI 0904921-5 - BED FOR CHANGE OF POSITIONING - refers to the bed for moving patients that combines the function of alternating the pressure points on the body of bedridden patients through the change of position, consisting of an articulated mattress that it rests on a platform that can also be articulated in a similar way to the mattress formed by the platform rails and backrest rails, a platform that is fixed to the arches that in turn perform rotary movements around its own center, maintaining tangency with the responsible traction cylinders by fixing the arch to the base, thus performing the change of decubitus. It differs from the present patent, which is not a bed, but a mechanical device equipped with a rotation system to be installed in a bed, and that its operating strategy is promoted through the translation of the tissue under the patient or bedridden.

[06] PI 0302393-1 - EQUIPMENT WITH MECHANISMS FOR POSTURAL MOBILIZATION OF PEOPLE, BEDRIED PATIENTS AND SYSTEMS - comprised of manual or mechanical - electrical operation that mobilizes the bedridden patient, facilitating better accommodation, patient support than with a simple command manual or mechanical - electrical, adjusting the elevation of the equipment with mechanisms for mobilization of bedridden patients, make a better positioning of the patient, so that they can examine and work with it more easily and efficiently. In turn, the present patent is not a system for movement, postural mobilization and support, but rather a mechanical device that allows the bedridden to rotate on the bed, in order to avoid problems arising from the lack of change in position on the bed.

[07] The MU 9001828-1 - DEVICE FOR SUSPENSION AND DISPLACEMENT OF LAYERS - refers to a device for suspension and displacement of bedridden people that comprises a base of flexible and resistant material equipped with hooks to be connected to individual cables fixed at the opposite end to an upper support structure provided with a centralized hook where a chain is connected, hooked to a pulley fixed by a hook on the roof of the building unit. Optionally, the hitch can be replaced by a castor for rail travel. The present patent is not a device for suspension and displacement by pulley and chain, as the present patent refers to a device equipped with a rotation system that allows the patient to move to change his position on the bed or the side on which he rests on the mattress.

[08] This equipment is equipped with a system that allows assisting the patient's assistant to change the position of the bedridden patient without great physical effort with the help of the proposed mechanical system. With the proposed system, the user will be able to stabilize the patient and change position quickly, safely and with minimal effort.

[09] The technique consists of using a mechanical system to reproduce the movement of lifting the sheet and pulling it, resulting in the longitudinal rotation of the patient's body on the bed equipped with the system. With the use of the equipment, a person can be rotated in bed from their current position to another desired one without great effort from the user.

[010] This device has the following advantages:

[011] - lightness in patient movement;

[012] - ease of installation in bed;

[013] - possibility of installation in existing beds;

[014] - cost-benefit ratio when compared to existing systems;

[015] - does not prevent other mattress tilting movements;

[016] - can be activated manually or electrically;

[017] - does not present any risk of accidents when operated in a manner guided by the operation manual;

[018] - reduces the need for physical strength during the task of changing the position of bedridden patients;

[019] The present patent is described in detail in accordance with the attached figures, where:

[020] Figure 1 illustrates a view of the assembly of the mechanical system in drive position.

[021] Figure 2 illustrates a detailed view of the articulation of the arms.

[022] Figure 3 illustrates a detailed view of the rotation movement of the bars.

[023] Figure 4 illustrates a view of the device installed under the mattress in the resting position.

[024] Figure 5 illustrates a view of the device installed under the mattress in operating position.

[025] According to Figures 1 to 5, the device is provided with two side bars (1), articulated arms (2), base support (3), pivot pins (4), endless gear (5), arm gear (6) and arm positioning shaft (7) which can be manually driven by crank or electrically driven by motor.

[026] The side bars (1) are positioned perpendicular to the mattress (8) and are moved by articulated arms (2) connected to the base (3), which is positioned at a point on the lower and upper sides (headboard and footboard) of the bed. The arms (2) can assume any position with the rotation around their fixed point at the headland. The arms (2) can be stopped in the desired position to promote the stability of the bed so that the side bars (1) are activated and rotate longitudinally.

[027] The assembly steps begin with the installation of the base (3) of the arms (2) on the bed frame or bed between the mattress and the headboard; the arms (2) are installed on the base (3) through pivot pins (4); the side bars (1) are installed on the arms (2) with an electrical or mechanical manual drive system, and finally the sheet (8) is rolled up on the bars.

[028] First, the mattress is positioned to the flat state, the patient is aligned to the position aligned with the axis of the bed with straight legs and arms close to the trunk. Subsequently, the lateral arms (2) are activated to the fixed position of stability at approximately 45° and the synchronized rotation of the sidebars (2) is activated while observing the longitudinal rotation of the body on the bed to the desired position. Unroll the sheet (8) from the bar (2) enough to allow it to be positioned on the side of the mattress. The sheet (8) is stretched by carefully turning the side bars.

[029] The mechanical system can be mounted or installed in existing beds or come installed in the bed at the time of purchase.

[030] The device may be conveniently modified, with the replacement of some of its elements or change in its configuration of the bars, exercising its functions without changing the scope of protection of this patent.
