Description

_ x . DK 169275 B1 1 Opfindelsen angår et hjælpemiddel til bevægelseshæmmede ; personer, nemlig et glidebræt som angivet i krav l's indledning. Hjælpemidlet består i et letvægtsbræt, der anbringes méd én anlægsflade på kørestolssædet og én anlægsflade på seng eller 5 andet møbel, hvortil personen ønsker at forflytte sig i siddende stilling._ x. The invention relates to an assistive device for persons with reduced mobility; persons, namely a sliding board as set forth in the preamble of claim 1. The aid consists of a lightweight board which is placed with one abutment on the wheelchair seat and one abutment on the bed or 5 other furniture, to which the person wishes to move in a sitting position.

Hjælpemidlet er udformet således at personen ved egen hjælp kan placere brættet og glidevingen og alene med sine armkræfter friktionsfrit forflytte sin krop forbi kørestolens 10 hjul og under samtidig drejning af kroppen på ca 30°, afslutte forflytningen siddende på fx sengekanten.The auxiliary means is designed so that the person can place the board and the sliding blade by his own help and, with his arm forces, freely move his body past the wheels of the wheelchair 10 and while simultaneously turning the body at about 30 °, finish the movement sitting on the bed edge, for example.

Et glidebræt kan være udført i forskellige slags materialer. Bl. andet er det set i lamineret træ, plast eller kraftigt PVC. Der kendes fx fra GB - A - 2 236 946 15 et bræt til overføring af en kørestolsbruger mellem to møbler. Dette bræt er udført i plast--laminat og er forsynet med 4 håndtag. Ulemperne ved dette hjælpemiddel er bl. a. at der helst skal være en eller to hjælpere til at foretage forflytningen. Brættet kan kun vanskeligt anbringes i forbindelse 20 med kørestolens sæde til sideværts forflytning, på grund af at kørestolens hjul er i vejen. Brættet egner sig derfor kun til forflytning lige ud fra kørestol-sædets forside, hvorved den ganghæmmede person enten skal kunne løfte benene op, eller være dobbeltamputeret. Endvidere vil personens tøj altid yde 25 en vis friktion mod selv en glat plastoverflade, hvorved der skal bruges ekstra kræfter til at overvinde denne modstand.A sliding board can be made of different kinds of materials. Bl. otherwise it is seen in laminated wood, plastic or strong PVC. For example, GB-A-2 236 946 15 discloses a board for transferring a wheelchair user between two furniture. This board is made of plastic laminate and is equipped with 4 handles. The disadvantages of this aid are: a. There should preferably be one or two aides to make the transfer. The board can only be difficult to be placed in connection 20 with the wheelchair seat for lateral movement, because the wheelchair wheels are in the way. The board is therefore only suitable for movement straight out from the front of the wheelchair seat, whereby the person with disabilities must either be able to lift his legs or be double-amputated. Furthermore, the person's clothing will always provide some friction to even a smooth plastic surface, which will require extra effort to overcome this resistance.

Ved opfindelsen tilvejebringes en friktionsfri forflytning af selv en tung krop ved hjælp af en glidevinge.The invention provides a frictionless movement of even a heavy body by means of a sliding wing.

30 Vingen består indvendigt af et glat materiale fx nylon og udvendigt af et let og smidigt polyuretan materiale. Materialerne er sammensyet til et foldet, fladt rør, der i den ene side slutter i en vulst. Vingen vil foretage en glidende bevægelse idet de modstående nylonflader friktionsfrit vil glide mod 35 hinanden.30 The wing consists of a smooth material such as nylon and the outside of a light and flexible polyurethane material. The materials are sewn together into a folded flat tube that ends in one bead in one side. The blade will make a sliding motion as the opposing nylon surfaces will slide smoothly against each other.

DK 169275 B1 -2- 1 Princippet er kendt fra US patentskrift nr 4,051,565, der beskriver et fladt kollapset rør med åbne ender og en indre belægning, der har meget lav friktion mod sig selv. Herved opnås at en patient let kan forflyttes i liggende stilling fra seng 5 til båre eller vice versa.The principle is known from US Patent No. 4,051,565, which describes a flat collapsed tube with open ends and an inner coating which has very low friction against itself. Hereby, a patient is easily moved in a supine position from bed 5 to stretcher or vice versa.

Formålet med opfindelsen er at hjælpe den ganghæmmede til at være mere uafhængig af hjælpere. Dette formål opnås ved de i krav l"s kendetegnede del angivne foranstaltninger.The object of the invention is to help the walking disabled to be more independent of helpers. This object is achieved by the measures specified in claim 1.

Glidebrættet er udformet som en halvmåne med afrundede kanter 10 og hjørner. De to lange modstående sider er to parallelle cirkelbuer. På den yderste, største er der to symmetrisk anbragte indhak, hver med en bredde som en hånd. Desuden er brættet forsynet med en hank imellem de to indhak. Når brættet er anbragt imellem kørestol og seng vil det indhak der er nærmest kørestolen 15 omslutte kørestolens hjul hvorved en større del af selve glidebrættet hviler på kørestolens sæde. Da brættet er symmetrisk omkring sin egen tværakse kan det bruges til begge sider af kørestolen.The slide is designed as a crescent with rounded edges 10 and corners. The two long opposite sides are two parallel circular arcs. At the outermost, there are two symmetrically arranged notches, each with a width like a hand. In addition, the board is provided with a handle between the two notches. When the board is positioned between the wheelchair and bed, the notch closest to the wheelchair 15 will encircle the wheelchair wheels, whereby a larger portion of the sliding board itself rests on the seat of the wheelchair. As the board is symmetrical about its own transverse axis it can be used for both sides of the wheelchair.

Symmetrisk på tværaksen mellem de to korte modstående sider af 20 brættet er der nedfræset et vulstspor. Dette danner fæste for glidevingen, idet dennes vulst kan indføres i vulstsporet. Dette gør det let at udskifte vingen til forskellige typer og størrelser. Standardvingen er udformet geometrisk som en "skæv firkant", der bevirker at kroppen under forflytning drejer ca 30°. Når kørestol 25 og seng også indtager en· vinkel på 30-35° i forhold til hinanden vil den opnåede drejning af kroppen svare til den nye stilling. Som et tilbehørs option kan vingen udføres som en lige firkant uden drejning, hvilket vil hjælpe den dobbeltamputerede person til en lige-ud overførsel, hvor kørestolen køres helt ind til 30 sengen i 90° vinkel.A bead groove is milled symmetrically on the transverse axis between the two short opposite sides of the board. This forms a bracket for the sliding blade, since its bead can be inserted into the bead groove. This makes it easy to replace the blade for different types and sizes. The standard wing is designed geometrically as a "skewed square" which causes the body to move about 30 ° during movement. When wheelchair 25 and bed also take an angle of 30-35 ° relative to each other, the obtained rotation of the body will correspond to the new position. As an accessory option, the wing can be made as a straight square without rotation, which will assist the double-amputated person for a straight-out transfer where the wheelchair is driven all the way to the 30 bed at a 90 ° angle.

Undersiden af brættet er forsynet dels med en høj friktions belægning på de dele af undersiden der kommer i berøring med seng og kørestolssæde, dels med en indstøbt møtrik i hver side. Ved 35 hjælp af dorne eller skruer kan brættet fæstnes til møbler med en særlig glat overflade fx badestole.The underside of the board is provided with a high friction coating on the parts of the underside that come into contact with the bed and wheelchair, and partly with a molded nut on each side. With the help of mandrels or screws, the board can be attached to furniture with a particularly smooth surface such as bath chairs.

3 DK 169275 B1 1 Opfindelsen forklares nærmere i det følgende, hvor FIG. 1 viser glidebrættet fra oven, anbragt i brugbar stilling. FIG. 2 viser glidevingen med befæstigelse til glidebrættet.The invention is further explained in the following, in which FIG. 1 shows the slide board from above, placed in a usable position. FIG. 2 shows the sliding blade with attachment to the sliding board.

FIG. 3 viser glidebrættets overside.FIG. 3 shows the top of the slide.

5 FIG. 4 viser glidebrættets underside.5 FIG. 4 shows the underside of the slide.

I FIG. 1 ses glidebrættet (1) anbragt mellem kørestol (3) og seng (4) . Det ene af de to symmetrisk anbragte indhak (8) omslutter kørestolens hjul, hvorved en god del af glidebrættets flade rækker ind under personens sædeparti.In FIG. 1, the slide board (1) is located between a wheelchair (3) and a bed (4). One of the two symmetrically arranged notches (8) encloses the wheelchair wheels, whereby a good portion of the sliding board surface extends below the person's seat portion.

10 Glidevingen (5) er angivet med punkterede linier, der viser de to yderpositioner som den kan indtage. Glidevingen er ved hjælp af sin vulst (6), som vist på FIG. 2, fæstnet til glidebrættet ved indføring af vulsten i vulstsporet(7). Vingen glider på sine indvendige glatte flader og forflytter kroppen 15 fra "A" til "B" på FIG. 2 under samtidig drejning af kroppen ca 30-40° på FIG 1.10 The sliding blade (5) is indicated by dashed lines showing the two outer positions it can occupy. The sliding blade is by means of its bead (6), as shown in FIG. 2, attached to the sliding board by inserting the bead into the bead groove (7). The wing slides on its inner smooth surfaces and moves the body 15 from "A" to "B" in FIG. 2 while simultaneously rotating the body about 30-40 ° in FIG. 1.

Kørestolsbrugeren er således i stand til ved egne armkræfter at forflytte sin krop fra normal siddende stilling på kørestolen til skrå siddende stilling på sengen, parat til at ligge ned. 20 Alternativt forflytning til badestol eller bilsæde. FIG. 3 viser glidebrættets overside, der har en halvblank overflade. Selve glidebrættet er støbt af glasfiberarmeret plastskum for at give stor styrke og ringe vægt. Det symmetrisk anbragte vulstspor (7) fungerer som befæstigelse af den med punkterede linier viste 25 glidevinge (5), idet glidevingens vulst (6) kan indføres i vulstsporet fra den ene side. Mellem det cirkulære vulstspor (7) og brættets overflade er der fræset en smal rille der tillader selve vingen at passere, men vulsten forbliver i vulstsporet, hvorfor vingen kun kan fjernes sideværts.The wheelchair user is thus able to move his body from his normal sitting position on the wheelchair to an oblique sitting position on the bed by his own arm forces, ready to lie down. 20 Alternative transfer to a chair or car seat. FIG. 3 shows the top of the slide having a semi-gloss surface. The sliding board itself is molded from fiberglass reinforced plastic foam to provide great strength and low weight. The symmetrically arranged bead groove (7) serves as the attachment of the sliding wing (5) shown in dotted lines, the sliding blade bead (6) being inserted into the bead groove from one side. Between the circular bead groove (7) and the board surface, a narrow groove is milled allowing the blade itself to pass, but the bead remains in the bead groove, so the blade can only be removed laterally.

30 FIG. 4 viser glidebrættets underside (10) , der på de to anlægsflader (2) er forsynet med et høj friktionsmateriale.FIG. 4 shows the underside (10) of the slide, which is provided with a high friction material on the two abutment surfaces (2).

Dette giver god kontakt til de fleste former for tekstil, der normalt bruges på de relevante møbler. Imidlertid har brugeren også behov for at bevæge sig over på en bade- eller toiletstol, 35 hvis overflader typisk er af glat plastic med kurvet overside hvor alting kan skride.This provides good contact with most types of textiles normally used on the relevant furniture. However, the user also needs to move onto a bath or toilet chair, the surfaces of which are typically of smooth plastic with a curved upper surface where anything can slip.

. DK 169275 B1 -4- 1 Denne horisontale forskydning kan forhindres med de medfølgende dorne med gevind, der skrues ind i de indstøbte gevindstykker (11) . Et til dornen passende hul boret i bade- eller toiletstolens sæde skaber en fast kontakt mellem stol og 5 glidebræt, men ikke mere fast end at brugeren selv kan løfte brættet af og på.. This horizontal displacement can be prevented by the supplied threaded mandrels screwed into the embedded threaded pieces (11). A hole suitable for the mandrel drilled in the bath or toilet seat seat creates a firm contact between the chair and 5 sliding boards, but no more firm than the user can lift the board himself on and off.
