Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assistance device helping a person to get out of a bathtub. Its use is particularly recommended for elderly or disabled people and in particular for single people who, in practice, cannot take a bath without being exposed to a fall often having disastrous consequences when the person wants to get out of the bathtub. .
  • the assistance device object of the present invention meets this principle and allows an elderly or disabled person to get out of the bath alone, without danger, when they want.
  • the device object of the invention is simple, reliable and can adapt to any bathtub at low cost.
  • the bathtub can be specially provided and equipped to receive such an assistance device.
  • the device which is the subject of the invention is very compact, of very simple use and normally finds its place in any individual bathroom. It can also be used to assist the person to enter a bathtub, and just as well, to get up from a bed or to lie down, to get up from a seat or to sit there, in particular for the use of a double WC seat.
  • the device of the invention is of the type essentially comprising a jack capable of being supplied with pressure by the water supplying the bath, gripping means such as a handle or a harness and means for controlling from said jack the automatic raising and lowering of said gripping means, the device is characterized in that said handle or the harness is mounted at the end of a lever articulated towards its other end around an axis and the rotation of the lever is controlled by said cylinder, and in that the supply and the pressurization of the cylinder are controlled from valve means which are actuated directly by a gripping force applied to said handle or to said harness.
  • the supply and the pressurization of the jack being controlled from the handle or said harness of the device, as soon as the person appropriately grasps the handle or the harness, the device is automatically actuated, effectively assisting the person who wants to sit up and get out of the tub.
  • the handle or the harness is mounted at the end of a lever whose other end is integral with the axis of rotation of a second lever controlled in rotation by being articulated at a certain distance from said axis to a first end of said cylinder whose other end is articulated at a fixed point.
  • the device can be easily retracted into the non-use position, completely freeing the use of the device: bath, toilet seat or bed to which it facilitates access.
  • said cylinder and said second lever are articulated respectively around said fixed axes on a support and fixing plate of the whole device.
  • the device can be easily attached to a wall, such as a wall, adjacent to the device to which it facilitates access.
  • the installation and adaptation of the device are greatly facilitated, the device being able to be integrated or even embedded on or in the wall to which it is fixed.
  • FIG. 1 a person 1 has been shown who has taken up a sitting position, upright bust, in his bathtub 2.
  • the assistance device according to the invention identified as a whole 3 is fixed, in the illustrated embodiment, on the wall 4 against which the end of the foot of the bathtub 2 is supported.
  • the device 3 essentially consists, as it appears more clearly in FIG. 2, of a chassis 5 with two vertical branches 6, 7 which are fixed to the wall 4 by screws 8 and comprising two horizontal branches 9, 10, a jack 11 and a movable frame 12 comprising a handle 13.
  • the movable frame 12 is articulated around an axis 14 in, two bearings 15, 16 formed towards the ends of the branches 6, 7.
  • the jack 11 is articulated at one of its ends at 17 on an axis 18 fixed to the ends of the arms 9, 10 of the chassis 5. At its other end, the jack is articulated at 19 on a transverse bar 20 of the articulated frame 12.
  • the jack 11 can be supplied with water from a flexible pipe 21 connected to the water supply 22 of the bath, for example on the supply branch of the shower 23.
  • a handle 24 can occupy three positions, either for supplying the bathtub tap, or for supplying the shower, or for supplying the flexible hose 21.
  • the shower can be omitted and the lever 24 can occupy only two positions, that is to say supplying the jack.
  • the device is completed by a flap or a valve 25 formed at the base of the jack 11 and allowing its emptying.
  • the handle 13 of the device is raised, for example in the position 13 ′ illustrated in dashed lines, as a result of the extension of the jack, the person first of all empties or bleeds the jack 11 by actuating the valve emptying 25.
  • the jack is emptied into the bathtub and the movable frame is lowered to occupy the low position illustrated in solid lines at 12 in FIG. 1. In this position, the person can easily take hold of the handle 13.
  • the person then pressurizes the actuator, taking care to place the handle 24 in the actuator supply position and to open the tap, for example for cold water supply 26 from the bathtub.
  • the actuation of the jack 11 is only carried out, at the request of the person, when it is sufficiently supported on the handle 13 for example, by means of a device such as that which will be described later. in relation to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • Such an automatic opening controlled from the handle further facilitates the movement out of the bathtub.
  • the water being admitted under pressure into the jack 11, the latter relaxes and therefore lifts the handle 13 slowly and gradually from the position illustrated in solid lines in FIG. 1 to the raised position illustrated in broken lines in 13 ' to this same figure. Simultaneously, the person is therefore pulled and lifted by the handle 13 more efficiently and gradually than it would be by another person who would try to help him.
  • the lifting force can be adjusted by choosing the point of articulation 19 of the lever on the frame 12, the choice of the water supply pressure of the jack and the choice of the working section of the jack.
  • the articulation point 19 is located substantially in the middle of points 13 and 14, the force of the jack thus being found substantially divided by 2 at the level of the handle 13.
  • the pressure of water supply is 3 bars, it can be seen that for internal diameters of the cylinder of the order of 4, 5 or 6 centimeters, lifting forces to the cylinder of 38, 74 or 84 kilograms are obtained respectively.
  • a non-return valve will be placed at the supply inlet to the jack, preventing sudden emptying of the jack in the event of rupture of the flexible feed pipe 21 and possibly a pressure reducer which will also make it possible to adjust and maintain constant the supply pressure of the actuator independently of the variations in supply pressure of the distribution pipe.

It is clear that if you press with enough force in the direction of arrow 44 on the upper end of the jack, that is to say on the rod 30 of the piston 31, we will lower the assembly of the jack by sliding it on the slide valve 34 by compressing the spring 37. In doing so, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the gasket 35 is released from the seat 34, allowing the water supply to the chamber 33 and therefore controlling the extension of the jack and the lifting of the handle 13. This downward pressure on the jack 11 is automatically applied when the person wanting to get out of the bathtub pulls the handle 13 by clinging to it. get assistance.

  • the reverse movement of the lowering of the handle is controlled by simple opening of the tap (not shown) 125 screwed into the drain orifice 146.
  • the lowering is obtained automatically under the effect of the return spring 77. If one wishes use the device as an aid in a lowering movement, for example to immerse yourself in a bathtub, or to sit on a WC seat, it is sufficient to first shut off the water supply 121 to the jack, after which it suffices to take hold of the handle 113, to grip it and open the drain valve 125 of the desired size to obtain the desired progressive lowering speed of the handle.

  • the spring 137 acts, in the absence of pressure on the handle 113, to keep the valve pressed against its low stop, that is to say open, the lining 135 'being released from the seat 136'. In other words, if the water supply to the jack is open, and in the absence of a pulling movement on the handle 113, the device is always brought to the high position.
  • the spring 137 is compressed, and unlike what was happening in FIG. 12, the water supply to the chamber 133 of the cylinder is cut. Under such conditions, and only under these conditions, the lowering of the handle 113 can be obtained by opening the drain 125.
  • this device prevents the lifting operation of the handle even if the water control of the jack is open, in the event of an overload ensuring the compression of the spring 137.
  • This device can therefore serve as an anti-overload safety device.
  • FIG. 14 The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 14 will now be described, somehow showing a combination of the two security systems of FIGS. 12 and 13.
  • the device comprises a slide valve 134 "which is normally kept closed on its seat 136 by the action of a spring 137, as long as an application force F of determined size does not is not applied to the jack 111. Until this time, the water supply to the chamber 133 of the jack is therefore cut off, even if the feed 121 is open.
  • the device further comprises for the slide valve 134 "a second seat 136 'against which the slide valve 134" will abut at the end of the stroke when the spring 137 has been sufficiently compressed. For such compression corresponding to an overload of effort, the water supply to the jack is cut off and any successive lifting of the handle is prohibited.
  • the device advantageously comprises a second spring 80 coaxial with the spring 137 kept compressed under the foot of the jack, for example by a washer 81 and a sleeve 82 attached screwed. After the valve 134 "has for example moved over its mid-stroke, the foot 139 of the joint 117 pushes the washer 81 and compress the spring 80, which corresponds to a second determined force threshold.
  • the device when the water supply to the cylinder is open, the device operates automatically in the lifting movement as soon as one grips the handle and applies sufficient force to it, on the other hand, the device stops when the effort printed on the handle becomes too large, exceeding an overload value which may correspond to improper application of the device or to the presence of a foreign body inadvertently present behind the lever 65.
