Definitions
- This invention includes an apparatus for moving a person with reduced mobility.
- person with reduced mobility is meant both a patient, such as a motor handicapped, for example, and a person whose movements are temporarily hampered.
- the object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which offers excellent support to a person who either has to be moved from the lying or sitting position in the vertical position or who is temporarily hampered in his movements and must also be moved to the vertical position.
- the object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which provides an original solution to the problem mentioned above.
- the apparatus according to the invention formed by two arms carrying support members which comprise profiled parts for gripping the person to be moved under the armpits is characterized in that the support members also include parts for grab and support the person to move partially laterally around the chest.
- the aforementioned arms are connected together by an axis, according to the scissors principle, and are connected by their ends, considered, in use, as upper ends, to elements which can be lifted , all things being such that said elements are brought closer to each other under the effect of the weight of the person to be moved.
- the aforementioned arms are part of elements which can be brought close to each other by mechanical means.
- Figure 1 is a perspective representation of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows, also in perspective, and in the position of use, an apparatus according to the invention; the apparatus according to these figures constitutes a possible embodiment of the invention which essentially consists of two elements 1 connected together by an axis, according to the principle of scissors, elements whose arms 2 are equipped with support members 3 which are profiled to grip the person to be moved under the armpits and partially around the thorax.
- the elements 1 are connected to each other by an axis, at 4, the parts l of the elements 1, located beyond the pivot point 4, are connected by chains or cables 5 with a member which can be moved in rotation, such as a pulley, not shown in the figures.

- the support members 3 can be made of a suitable material such as, for example, polyester, and are profiled, on the one hand, to grip the person to be moved under the armpits and, secondly, to apply, in the closed position of the device, narrowly, laterally, to the chest of the person to be moved; when the device is raised, the elements 1, and therefore also the arms 2 tend to approach each other.
- the person who, to move, uses the device therefore feels perfectly supported without experiencing discomfort.
- the support members 3 may also have support plates 8.
- These additional elements have the advantage of allowing perfect recovery in a vertical position from the horizontal position, of a bedridden patient without the person who use the device, usually a nurse, must make an extra effort; the elements 1 are, when the apparatus is considered in its position of use, folded forward, so that the arms 2 which constitute a part of the elements 1, are, in the position of use, practically horizontal. A bedridden or seated patient is therefore always approached from the front.
- the arms 2 directed towards the front still have the advantage that the person 9 (FIG. 2) can make use of his arms to find additional support.
- the suspension of the device can undergo significant modifications.
- the device can be rolled along a rail or be lifted along a cable. In the latter case, the device can be used to rescue people at sea.
- the device can also be provided with one or two leg supports.
Abstract
Description
Cette invention comporte un appareil permettant le déplacement d'une personne à mobilité réduite. Par personne à mobilité réduite il faut entendre aussi bien un patient, tel qu'un handicapé moteur, par exemple, qu'une personne dont les mouvements sont temporairement gênés.This invention includes an apparatus for moving a person with reduced mobility. By person with reduced mobility is meant both a patient, such as a motor handicapped, for example, and a person whose movements are temporarily hampered.
Le but de l'invention est de procurer un appareil qui offre un appui excellent à une personne qui, soit, doit être déplacée de la position couchée ou assise dans la position verticale, soit, se trouve temporairement gênée dans ses mouvements et doit être également déplacée dans la position verticale.The object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which offers excellent support to a person who either has to be moved from the lying or sitting position in the vertical position or who is temporarily hampered in his movements and must also be moved to the vertical position.
Le déplacement d'une personne alitée ou d'un handicapé moteur pose un certain nombre de problèmes aussi bien lorsque cette personne doit quitter sa position horizontale que lorsqu'il s'agit de déplacer un tel patient en position verticale. De même, le déplacement d'une personne dont les mouvements sont momentanément gênés ne peut pas toujours être effectué sans l'aide de plus d'un infirmier ou infirmière.The movement of a bedridden person or a motor disabled person poses a certain number of problems both when this person has to leave his horizontal position and when it is a question of moving such a patient in a vertical position. Similarly, the movement of a person whose movements are temporarily hampered cannot always be carried out without the help of more than one nurse.
Du document US-A-3 568 226 est connu un appareil du genre décrit dans le préambule de la revendication 1.Document US-A-3,568,226 discloses an apparatus of the type described in the preamble of
L'invention a pour but de procurer un appareil qui fournit une solution originale au problème évoqué ci-dessus.The object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which provides an original solution to the problem mentioned above.
A cette effet, l'appareil selon l'invention, formé de deux bras portant des organes de support qui comportent des parties profilées pour saisir la personne à déplacer sous les-aisselles est caractérisé en ce que les organes de support comprennent également des parties pour saisir et soutenir la personne à déplacer en partie latéralement autour du thorax.To this end, the apparatus according to the invention, formed by two arms carrying support members which comprise profiled parts for gripping the person to be moved under the armpits is characterized in that the support members also include parts for grab and support the person to move partially laterally around the chest.
Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, les bras précités sont reliés entre eux par un axe, selon le principe des ciseaux, et sont reliés par leurs extrémités, considérées, en état d'utilisation, comme extrémités supérieures, à des éléments qui peuvent être soulevés, toutes choses étant telles que lesdits éléments sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre sous l'effet du poids de la personne à déplacer.In an advantageous embodiment, the aforementioned arms are connected together by an axis, according to the scissors principle, and are connected by their ends, considered, in use, as upper ends, to elements which can be lifted , all things being such that said elements are brought closer to each other under the effect of the weight of the person to be moved.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, les bras précités font partie d'éléments qui peuvent être rapprochés l'un de l'autre par des moyens mécaniques.According to another embodiment, the aforementioned arms are part of elements which can be brought close to each other by mechanical means.
D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un appareil selon l'invention, permettant le déplacement d'une personne. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite par l'invention.Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of an apparatus according to the invention, allowing the movement of a person. This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention.
Les notations de références se rapportent aux figures annexées.The reference notations refer to the appended figures.
La figure 1 est une représentation en perspective d'un appareil selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a perspective representation of an apparatus according to the invention.
La figure 2 représente, également en perspective, et en position d'utilisation, un appareil selon l'invention; l'appareil selon ces figures constitue une forme de réalisation possible de l'invention qui consiste essentiellement en deux éléments 1 reliés entre eux par un axe, selon le principe des ciseaux, éléments dont les bras 2 sont équipés d'organes de support 3 qui sont profilés pour saisier la personne à déplacer sous les aisselles et partiellement autour du thorax. Les éléments 1 sont reliés entre eux, par un axe, en 4, les parties l' des éléments 1, situés au-delà du point de pivotement 4, sont reliées par des chaînes ou des câbles 5 avec un organe qui peut être déplacé en rotation, tel qu'une poulie, non représentée aux figures.Figure 2 shows, also in perspective, and in the position of use, an apparatus according to the invention; the apparatus according to these figures constitutes a possible embodiment of the invention which essentially consists of two
Les chaînes ou câbles 5 peuvent être reliés directement à l'organe déplaçable précité ou se raccorder d'abord à un anneau métallique 6 qui est lui-même relié par un câble ou une chaîne 7 à la poulie précitée.The chains or
Cette solution est préférable parce que l'appareil est alors soulevé à partir d'un seul câble ou une seule chaîne, en l'occurence l'élément 7.This solution is preferable because the device is then lifted from a single cable or a single chain, in this case element 7.
Ainsi qu'il résulte des figures précitées, les organes de support 3 peuvent être constitués en une matière appropriée telle que, par exemple, du polyester, et sont profilés, d'une part, pour saisir la personne à déplacer sour les aisselles et, d'autre part, pour s'appliquer, en position de fermeture de l'appareil, de manière étroite, latéralement, au thorax de la personne qui doit être déplacée; lorsque l'appareil est soulevé, les éléments 1, et donc également les bras 2 onttendance à se rapprocher l'un de l'autre. La personne qui, pour se déplacer, fait usage de l'appareil se sent donc parfaitement soutenue sans éprouver de gêne.As follows from the above figures, the
Dans certains cas les organes de support 3 peuvent encore présenter des plaques d'appui 8. Ces éléments additionnels présentent l'avantage de permettre le relèvement parfait en position verticale à partir de la position horizontale, d'un patient alité sans que la personne qui utilise l'appareil, en général une infirmière, doive fournir un effort supplémentaire; les éléments 1 sont, lorsqu'on considère l'appareil dans sa position d'utilisation, repliés vers l'avant, de telle sorte que les bras 2 qui constituent une partie des éléments 1, se présentent, en position d'utilisation, de façon pratiquement horizontale. Un patient alité ou assis est donc toujours approché par devant.In some cases the
Les bras 2 dirigés vers l'avant présentent encore l'avantage que la personne 9 (figure 2) peut faire usage de ses bras pour trouver un appui supplémentaire.The
Quoique l'invention vient d'être décrite à l'aide d'un exemple dans lequel des éléments 1 sont reliés par un axe, selon le principe des ciseaux, les éléments 1 pourraient encore être rapprochés l'un de l'autre de tout autre manière, lorsqu'une personne prend appui sur les organes de support 3.Although the invention has just been described with the aid of an example in which
C'est ainsi que les chaînes ou câbles 5 pourraient être remplacés par des éléments non flexibles.This is how the chains or
De même, la suspension de l'appareil peut subir des modifications importantes. L'appareil peut être amené à rouler le long d'un rail ou être soulevé le long d'un câble. Dans ce dernier cas, l'appareil peut être utilisé au sauvetage de personnes en mer.Similarly, the suspension of the device can undergo significant modifications. The device can be rolled along a rail or be lifted along a cable. In the latter case, the device can be used to rescue people at sea.
De plus, le principe des ciseaux qui fait appel au poids de la personne à déplacer peut également être remplacé par tout système dans lequel, soit par le poids de la personne, soit indépendemment de celui- ci, les éléments de support 3 sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre par des moyens mécaniques.In addition, the principle of scissors which uses the weight of the person to be moved can also be replaced by any system in which, either by the weight of the person, or independently of it, the
Enfin, l'appareil peut encore être pourvu d'un ou deux appuis pour les jambes.Finally, the device can also be provided with one or two leg supports.
Il est donc clair que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme d'exécution décrite ci-dessus et que dans le cadre des revendications qui suivent bien des modifications pourraient être apportées à la forme d'exécution décrite, notamment en ce qui concerne la forme, la disposition et le nombre d'éléments qui interviennent dans sa réalisation.It is therefore clear that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and that in the context of the claims which follow many modifications could be made to the embodiment described, in particular as regards the form, the arrangement and the number of elements involved in its realization.
