Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support device, arranged on the side of a water closet (WC), for the physically handicapped, set up as a support for a toilet seat.
  • WC water closet
  • Support devices of this type are already manufactured by the applicant of the present patent application - a support device arranged behind the toilet is also described in EP-A-0 057 543 - and serve to enable disabled and elderly people to use the water closet (toilet) without the help of third parties.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a support device of the type mentioned in such a way that the seat height is infinitely adjustable in a predetermined range by simple means, and the user is able to settle onto the toilet seat with reduced effort, in particular in the knee joints and also to rise from it again.
  • the support of the support device is arranged on (at least) a column which is telescopic and is equipped with a damped spring device such as an air spring with a certain counterpressure and a stop device which prevents the movement under against the pressure of the spring device an adjustable height, and that the arrangement of the stop device and the spring device are such that when a toilet user sits under his weight, the toilet seat is damped against the force of the spring device and moves down to the position of use.
  • a damped spring device such as an air spring with a certain counterpressure
  • a stop device which prevents the movement under against the pressure of the spring device an adjustable height
  • the toilet seat can be fastened to the carrier so that it can be folded away.
  • the support of the support device can also be provided with a hand support in order to provide the patient with additional help.
  • a hand support in order to provide the patient with additional help.
  • changing the seat from the wheelchair to the toilet is made easier by this additional hand support.
  • Clamping inserts can also be accommodated in the frame-like handle, on which, for example, toilet paper rolls can be hung, or alternatively soap dish inserts, ashtrays, towel racks, also supporting devices, and the like.
  • the support device consists of several columns, you could in a column, the spring device, so z. B. accommodate the air or gas pressure spring, while a second column can be designed as a stop device or could accommodate a stop device. Other pillars could serve as guidance facilities.
  • the stop device consists of a rod which is mounted in a height-adjustable and fixable manner, the lower end of which strikes the bottom plate of the column to limit the movement of the carrier downwards.
  • the support device could also be designed so that the foldable toilet seat is designed to be movable on two sides.
  • the support comprises a stand column fastened to the floor made of a rectangular profile, which serves as a guide for a further rectangular profile pipe which is arranged displaceably with respect to the stand column, at the upper end of which the support for the toilet seat and a compression spring with a damping device are arranged.
  • the compression spring with damping device can be a mechanical coil spring with oil damping device, but a gas pressure spring is particularly lightweight and inexpensive.
  • the two rectangular profile tubes interlock telescopically, in such a way that between the inner and outer rectangular profile tube on two opposite sides of the rectangle there is a free space for receiving guide wheels.
  • This has the great advantage that a maintenance-free roller bearing is made possible, which minimizes the friction of the arrangement, which serves the convenience of using the support device according to the invention.
  • the guide wheels on the inner tube are rotatably mounted at two heights such that the wheels roll along the inner surface of the outer tube at one height on one narrow side of the free space, while at the other height the wheels on the Roll on the opposite narrow side, whereby the lever load caused by the toilet seat presses the wheels to the respective narrow side.
  • the inner tube is attached to the floor and the outer tube supports the toilet seat, which can prevent dirt from being trapped in the telescopic arrangement without the use of special sealing devices, while the gas pressure spring is arranged inside the inner tube and on the one hand to the larger one Pipe closing, the support for the toilet seat plate and on the other hand is attached to a bottom support plate closing the inner tube.
  • the stop z. B. can be formed by an insertable on the inner tube below the lower end of the outer tube, but is preferably formed by an axially adjustable rod which cleans from the carrier down to the base plate, the rod being vented inside the inner tube.
  • the rod runs in particular through a drawer bearing attached to the carrier, into which an externally operable clamping screw extends in such a way that the rod can be jammed rigidly in the drawer bearing.
  • the push rod extends beyond the carrier with its upper end and carries or forms a grip ball at its end there, which at the same time could cause a stop for the upward movement, unless other, possibly adjustable devices are provided for this are.
  • FIG. 1 shows the support device 10 according to the invention, which is arranged on the side of a water closet (WC) 12 and serves as a support for a toilet seat 14 and, if appropriate, for a hand rest 16.
  • a handle 18 is shown, which can be attached to the floor and ceiling of the room and, if necessary, is provided for additional support for the disabled, for which the support device is preferably used.
  • the carrier is arranged on (at least) one column (several are shown in FIG. 1), which is telescopic and is equipped with a damping spring device with a specific counter pressure, in particular with an air spring, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • a stop device which will also be explained in more detail below, whereby the downward movement, see arrow 20, is limited against the pressure of the spring at a certain adjustable height, the different height levels being indicated in dashed lines.
  • FIG. 2 A perspective view of a particularly favorable embodiment of the support device according to the invention is shown in FIG. 2, in which the toilet seat 13 is fastened to the support 14 by means of a folding mechanism 22 so that it can be folded away.
  • the actual toilet seat 13 which is made of wood or plastic with a specially designed shape, is fixed rigidly on a carrier ring 24 or can be folded away in the usual manner, the carrier ring 24 in turn being attached to a side of the toilet Seat 13 lying point merges into a metal profile rod, which is mounted between two carrier brackets 26 about an axis 28 by 90 °.
  • the metal profile rod 25 which is only shown in broken lines, rests on a connecting web 29 which connects the two tabs 26 to one another.
  • the seat can be folded up in a clockwise direction by 90 ° about the axis 28 and is locked in this way by means of two pins (not shown here) in incisions 30, which are also formed by the carrier tabs 26.
  • the two tabs 26 are welded onto a mounting plate 32, which in turn is screwed onto a U-shaped bracket 34 (see reference number 36).
  • This bracket 34 forms the upper end of a telescopic column, which consist of two telescopically guided rectangular profiles 42 and 44, the lower rectangular profile 44 is welded to a base plate 46, which in turn can be fastened to the floor with the aid of fastening screws (reference number 48) is.
  • the U-shaped part 34 On the side opposite the plate 32, the U-shaped part 34 carries a further plate 50, on which a hand rest 16 in the form of a tubular frame 52 is attached. So-called service inserts 54 can be clamped within the tubular frame 52 and can serve as carriers for various types of service facilities, for example for soap dishes, ashtrays or, as shown here, toilet paper roll holders 56.
  • An air spring and a stop device are arranged within the column 40 consisting of the telescopic tubes 42 and 44, the stop device consisting of a rod 58 which is mounted in a height-adjustable and fixable manner in the support 14, the lower end 60 of which, see FIG Column 40 strikes down to limit the movement of the carrier 14.
  • 3 also shows the gas spring 62 which, depending on the weight of the patient, who should preferably use the device according to the invention, has a counter printing of z. B. 40, 50 or 60 kg can be equipped, the back pressure should be a few kilograms lower than the seat weight of the user.
  • the position of the rod 58 within the carrier 14 is determined by the rod bearing in a block 64 which is rigidly connected to the carrier 14 in a suitable manner and which has a bore 66 for the sliding passage of the rod 58 and a further one intersecting this bore. has threaded bore 68, in which a locking screw 70 is screwed so far that it just reaches the surface of the rod 58.
  • the gas pressure spring 62 is also suitably fastened to the base plate 46 and to the carrier 14. So that the toilet seat can be lowered and raised as smoothly and smoothly as possible, i.e. that the telescopic tubes can slide into each other with only a slight difference in weight, a special low-friction mounting of the upper rectangular profile 42 in the lower rectangular profile 44 is provided.
  • a free space 72 and 74 respectively, between the inner (according to FIG. 3 that is the lower) and outer (correspondingly upper) rectangular profile tube on two opposite rectangular sides, see also the cross sections of FIGS. 4 and 5 , which serves to accommodate guide wheels 76 and 78 or 80 and 82.
  • the guide wheels 76, 78, 80 and 82 are rotatably mounted on the inner tube 44 at two heights 84 and 86 in such a way that the wheels at one height (84) on one narrow side of the free space 72 and 74 on the inner surface 5 along the outer tube 42, see FIG. 5, while at the other height, reference number 86, the wheels 78, 82 roll on the opposite narrow side, see FIG. 4, the lever load resulting from the toilet seat load causing the wheels 76, 80 or 78, 82 presses on the respective narrow side.
  • This means that the particularly important guidance in the direction of lever loading is practically low-friction, since the large wheels result in extremely low rolling friction.
  • the guidance can be effected, for example, in that the wheels 76, 78, 80 and 82 each receive lateral guidance on a corresponding guide bar 94, or other guidance devices are provided which enable largely frictionless guidance in the unloaded direction, for example others Blocks 96, which guide the rod 58, or by the gas pressure spring 62, which can also take over guiding properties.
  • This gas pressure spring 62 is arranged within the telescopic structure formed from the two tubes 44 and 42 and is fastened on the one hand to a plate that closes the outer tube, forms the support for the toilet seat or on the U-piece 34 and on the other hand to the inner tube bottom support plate 46, see reference numbers 96 and 98.
  • the arrangement of the gas pressure spring 62 as well as the rod 58 within the telescopic tubes has the advantage that the overall arrangement is very compact and easy to clean from the outside, and there is also the mechanical advantage that tilting forces caused by the influence of the gas pressure spring are avoided that could be more likely to occur when mounted outside the telescope.
  • the upper movement of the upper telescopic tube 42 can be limited by adjustable stop devices attached to the lower end of the upper tube 42, which abut against a corresponding stop starting from the lower tube 44, for example against one of the wheels 76 or 80.
  • adjustable stop devices attached to the lower end of the upper tube 42, which abut against a corresponding stop starting from the lower tube 44, for example against one of the wheels 76 or 80.
  • Another possibility would be to use the gas pressure spring 62 as a sling since it has a maximum extension length.
  • the adjustability could be achieved by attaching a similar second block next to the block 68, through which the piston rod 100 is slid out upwards like the rod 58 and ends there again with a ball, for example, the block (reference number 102 then again a locking screw - similar to the device - could have 70, 72 in order to be able to achieve a certain maximum extension length by jamming the rod 100 in the block 102 and thus the desired maximum height setting.
