Swash Cushion Chair.

Scope of production

This invention relates to a tumbler cushion for use in connection with the use of tumbler cushion as a tool for multi-disabled persons.

The tumble cushion chair is infinitely height adjustable by a scissor mechanism which can be operated manually by a gas spring or electric v.h.a. a battery motor with control unit.

The seat of the tumbler cushion is designed in 2 parts for placement of the tumbler pad, with a hanger all the way around to secure the pad. One part (foot end) is fixed in the horizontal position while the other part (backrest) is adjusted manually by a gas spring, thereby obtaining a back slope of 0 - 45 °.

The cushion chair is equipped with 4 wheels, which makes the chair mobile.

Prior art

Remedies for multi-disabled people are known today, e.g. beds, special wheelchairs and stand racks. The stand is used for activating / exercising balance and musculature and should max. used 30 min. at a time. Special wheelchairs are used during rest, therapeutic treatment and transport where the disabled person is seated in an upright sitting position. Beds are used during rest.

Furthermore, the tumble pad is known. It is used today lying on the floor, possibly. raised at one end v.h.a. an oblique cushion, for better sitting comfort and muscle relaxation.

The technical problem Common to the well-known aids for multi-disabled people is that the therapist / caregiver is burdened by many lifts and inappropriate work positions, partly during the therapy to achieve contact with the disabled person and when transporting the disabled person.

For the disabled, it is difficult to achieve a good resting position where the muscles are relaxed and cramps are avoided. This applies both during rest, during therapy and during transport.

With the production, it is desired to provide an aid which increases the mobility of the use of the thumb pad. The tool should provide optimal ergonomic conditions for the therapist and caregivers during treatment as well as minimize the number of lifts. The multi-disabled person must be ensured optimal resting positions so as to obtain improved learning during therapy, as well as allow transport of the disabled person sitting in the tumble pad.

The new technique

What is new in the production is the fact that a known tumble cushion is placed in the tumbler cushion which can be height adjusted by a scissor mechanism operated manually by gas spring and handle or electric v.h.a. battery motor with control unit.

The seat cushion of the cushion, which is two-piece, can be adjusted to a back slope of 0 - 45 °. a gas spring with release handle mounted on the backrest bracket for holding the cushion. A wide suspension bracket is mounted on the seat backrest. The tumbler cushion is equipped with 4 wheels; front 2 pcs. small swivel steering wheels, rear 2 pcs. large fixed drive wheels. The wheels are provided with a braking device.

Technical impact:

By using the above-mentioned technique in connection with the use of a thumb cushion as a tool for multi-disabled people, optimal ergonomic conditions for the therapist and caregivers are achieved, since the disabled person can be placed at any height. Unnecessary lifting is avoided as the disabled person can be transported in the tumble cushion chair and placed in different resting positions. The design of the wheels and the stirrup provides easy maneuvering of the tumbler cushion.

The disabled person achieves optimal resting positions as the backrest can be adjusted to tilt the cushion to the desired position. The combination of optimal resting position and height adjustment ensures optimum benefit from therapy as seizures can be avoided and full attention is drawn to the therapy.

The invention and particularly advantageous embodiments are explained in detail below with reference to the figures in the drawings and photos.
