Abstract

Holding device (10) for a container (12) for receiving urine, comprising a container holder (14) for holding the container (12), and a Rollatorhalterung (16) for securing the holding device (10) on a rollator.

Description

The invention relates to a holding device for a container for receiving urine, a system with a holding device and a container and a rollator.

Containers for receiving urine, such as urine bottles, have been known for a long time and are mainly used by (predominantly male) persons with physical limitations (for example, in elderly or sick people, inter alia, in retirement homes, as well as in hospitals and other care facilities).

However, to date, nurses are required to use these urine bottles, such as when urinating or subsequently emptying the urine bottle. Especially for people who are physically (but not mentally) partially restricted, it is uncomfortable to be dependent on the help of third parties in the intimate activity of urinating or the subsequent disposal of urine.

This problem is especially true of people who have Parkinson's disease (Parkinson's disease) and / or have had a stroke. Since these are e.g. due to shaky hands are often unable to keep a corresponding container safely, there is a risk that the urine may not or only partially enters the container or is then spilled, which is why an independent urination is virtually impossible , Such persons often require a firm hold for both hands, so there is no longer a way to hold a container.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a holding device for a container for receiving urine, a system with a holding device and a container and a rollator, which / s / r also for physically impaired persons in a simple way independent urination and / or emptying the container allows.

The solution of this object is achieved by the subject matters of the independent claims.

According to the invention, the holding device for a container for receiving urine comprises a container holder for holding the container. The container, in particular a bottle, can thus be safely received and held.

In addition, the holding device comprises a Rollatorhalterung for attachment of the holding device to a rollator. The holding device and thus also a container held in the holding device can thereby be securely fastened to the rollator.

In this way, there is virtually a mobile urinal.

The rollator allows the user to hold onto his grips with both hands. As a result, the user has a secure footing, while the fixed container can be used for autonomous urination. Due to the holding device and the associated fixation of the container, the container must not be held during the urination and safe use - without risk, for example, to lose the balance - is possible. The brakes of the rollator can prevent the rollator from accidentally moving away or slipping away while it is being lowered.

It is thus also for physically impaired persons in a simple way an independent urination and / or emptying of the container allows, without third persons are involved. Costs for nursing staff can be saved in this way.

Further developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims, the description and the accompanying drawings.

According to one embodiment, the container holder comprises a hooking, Velcro, clamping, plug-in, latching and / or screwing device for at least temporarily holding the container.

In order not to have to hold the container during the urinating, this is supplied via the container holder with e.g. connected to a rollator. However, since the container subsequently has to be emptied again, a lightweight, in particular tool-free, detachable connection makes sense.

For use, for example, come here the combination of a groove and a sliding block, whereby the container can be pinned to the container holder. The groove may be e.g. to trade a dovetail groove or a T-groove.

In particular, the container may have the sliding block and the container holder the groove and vice versa.

It is also conceivable, however, a correspondingly shaped edition with border, in which the container bottom can be inserted in order to fix the container so - at least temporarily - and, if necessary, also to remove easily.

The support may also form part of the container and in particular a groove or a Having sliding block for attachment to the container holder.

The container may in particular form a unit with the container holder. In particular, the container is fixed or detachably connected to the container holder.

Alternatively or additionally, a Velcro connection between the container and the container holder is conceivable.

All possibilities for a releasable attachment aim at the container being easily removable, e.g. be emptied or cleaned.

According to a further embodiment, the Rollatorhalterung comprises a hooking, Velcro, clamping, plug-in, latching and / or screwing device for at least temporary attachment of the holding device on the rollator.

Since a variety of conventional rollators is already in use, the Rollatorhalterung created the opportunity to retrofit rollators and equip them with a container.

In order to achieve retrofitting and / or disassembly in the simplest possible way, various possibilities are conceivable. In particular, the assembly or disassembly can be done without tools.

As an attachment point on the rollator offers, for example a transverse connection, in particular a transverse strut or a bench, between the two, serving as handles longitudinal struts of the rollator. The cross strut may be provided in particular below a seat. The seat itself can serve as a point of attachment.

Alternatively, it can also be attached to one or both longitudinal struts.

The rollator mount may e.g. a clamp, a clamp, a screw and / or a Velcro strap include.

The container holder and the Rollatorhalterung can be formed in particular as a unit and connected to each other. The connection can be rigid or articulated.

According to a further embodiment, the Rollatorhalterung comprises a clasp for clasping a seat of a rollator. For secure attachment of the bracket on the rollator, the seat of the rollator can be clasped. A fixation of the clasp can be done for example via a screw and / or clamping device.

In particular, the fixation can be done without tools. For this purpose, for example, the heads of the screws and / or clamps made of enlarged and correspondingly shaped, for example, wing or star-shaped, components exist. The components may in particular have a friction-increased material and / or corrugations or indentations. The grip when loosening or fastening is thereby improved.

An advantage of an attachment to the seat of the rollator, for example, that the rollator itself does not have to be modified. Costs can be saved.

According to a further embodiment, the container holder is pivotable relative to the Rollatorhalterung.

Thereby, e.g. the inclination angle can be adjusted. The container can thus be placed in a user-specific Urinierposition. In the desired Urinierposition fixation can take place.

The angle of inclination can be adjusted for example via a latching mechanism, a slot and / or a terminal.

In the urination position, the container may preferably be oriented vertically or inclined slightly forward in the direction of the user.

Due to the pivotability between the container holder and the Rollatorhalterung also an at least partially filled container can be directly e.g. be emptied into a toilet, without the container must be removed.

The user can drive to the toilet with the rollator himself and swing the container to the front. In the tilted pouring position, the urine flows from the container into the toilet underneath.

In the pouring position, the container can assume an at least substantially horizontal position.

In addition to a stepless adjustability, for example through the use of clamps, clamps and / or screws, a stepped adjustability is conceivable.

According to a further embodiment, the holding device, in particular the container holder and / or the Rollatorhalterung, designed height adjustable. The height of the container in the Urinierposition can thus be adjusted to the individual body size of the user.

The height adjustment can be stepped, for example over a given grid, or continuously, e.g. by clamping and / or tightening done.

A height adjustment can also be done by adjusting the inclination angle.

If a rollator is retrofitted, a new cross brace can also be used there. The cross strut may form part of the rollator mount. For example, in the region of the longitudinal struts, a height adjustment can be provided.

The invention also relates to a system with a holding device according to the invention and a container for receiving urine.

According to one embodiment, the container has a urinating opening, in particular with a preferably foldable, pluggable or screwable lid.

In particular, the urinary opening has a diameter of at least 10 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm or 30 cm. The diameter may be round, oval or angular, in particular rectangular.

The larger the diameter, the easier it is for the user to urinate.

To prevent urine from spilling or spilling out of the container, the urination opening may preferably have a lid. This can e.g. be foldable or pluggable. The lid can thus be opened and closed in a simple manner.

Alternatively, the lid may also be threaded onto the container to releasably seal the urinating opening.

Alternatively or additionally, the container may have a pouring opening. Basically, the urine can also be poured out of the urinary opening. However, it is more comfortable and / or hygienic if the container has a further opening as a pouring opening in addition to the urinating opening.

The pouring opening may also be closed with a lid of the aforementioned type.

The diameter of the pouring opening may be round, oval or angular, in particular rectangular. Preferably, the diameter of the pouring opening is smaller than the diameter of the urinating opening.

The region of the pouring opening may in particular be beak-shaped or trunk-shaped in order to facilitate the pouring out.

In particular, the container may include a handle, e.g. a handle, have. On the handle, the container can be safely removed from the container holder. The handle can be hollow inside and serve as a reservoir for a liquid.

The container holder can preferably attack the handle. In this way, the container, in particular in addition, be connected to the container holder.

The invention also relates to a rollator with a holding device according to the invention or with a system according to the invention.

According to one embodiment, the rollator comprises a spacer adapted to define a distance between the rollator and a WC. The spacer may in particular be attached to a transverse connection, e.g. Crossbar or seat, attached to the rollator, e.g. clamped, pinned and / or screwed be.

For the user, an exact positioning of the rollator relative to the toilet is thereby significantly facilitated. Imperfections when emptying the container, such as when the rollator is not positioned so that the liquid contained in the container when dumping in the pouring completely flows into the toilet, can be avoided.

In order to reduce this risk, a spacer positioned on the front of the rollator can be provided. The spacer can protrude in particular forward.

In particular, the spacer may comprise a bracket, a rod and / or a plate.

Preferably, the spacer is adapted to the spatial conditions of the toilet and / or the shape of the toilet bowl itself. For example, the spacer can be shaped semicircular inwards in the direction of the rollator. By appropriate contact between the spacer of the rollator and the toilet bowl of the rollator is kept at the appropriate distance for emptying.

All aspects, embodiments and features of the invention described herein can, in particular, also be detached from the concrete Design in the context of which they are mentioned, each combined with each other. In particular, all subject matters of the dependent claims may be combined with each other and with each subject matter of the independent claims.
