Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kopfauflage in Form eines Beistellmöbels zu Liegen für die Untersuchung und Behandlung von Patienten nach dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a headrest in the form of an occasional piece of furniture for lying down for the examination and treatment of patients according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Kopfauflage ist in der US-A-4 392 645 beschrieben. Die vorbekannte Einrichtung erlaubt eine vorübergehende Kopffixierung für chirurgische Eingriffe. Daneben gibt es Liegen für die Untersuchung und Behandlung von Patienten. Diese haben im allgemeinen eine rechteckige gepolsterte Auflage für den Patienten. Manche Liegen verfügen auch über ein gegenüber der länglichen Auflagefläche auf- bzw. abklappbares Kopfteil, d.h. über ein Kopfteil, welches an einer Schmalseite der Liege verschwenkbar und in der Waagerechten aber auch in einer positiven oder negativen Schräglage zur Waagerechten mittels besonderer Einrichtungen, beispielsweise Rasten, Klemmverschlüssen od. dgl. fixierbar ist.Such a headrest is described in US-A-4,392,645. The known device allows a temporary head fixation for surgical interventions. There are also couches for examining and treating patients. These generally have a rectangular cushioned pad for the patient. Some loungers also have a head section that can be opened and closed compared to the elongated support surface, i.e. via a head part, which can be pivoted on a narrow side of the bed and can be fixed horizontally but also in a positive or negative inclined position to the horizontal by means of special devices, for example catches, clamp closures or the like.

Die Vorteile derartiger Kopfauflagen für Untersuchungen und die Therapie sind bekannt. Auf der einen Seite ermöglicht die genaue Fixierung des Schädels eines Patienten überhaupt erst einen chirurgischen Eingriff. Andererseits schafft die entspannte Lagerung des Kopfes des Patienten die Voraussetzung für eine sinnvolle Untersuchung und Behandlung des Patienten im Nacken-und Oberrückenbereich. Eine derartige Untersuchung und Behandlung ist mit den eingangs genannten Liegen, die über keine Kopfauflage verfügen, nicht möglich.The advantages of such head rests for examinations and therapy are known. On the one hand, the precise fixation of a patient's skull makes surgery possible in the first place. On the other hand, the relaxed position of the patient's head creates the conditions for a sensible examination and treatment of the patient's neck and upper back. Such an examination and treatment is not possible with the couches mentioned at the beginning, which do not have a headrest.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Kopfauflage in Form eines Beistellmöbels zu Liegen für die Untersuchung und Behandlung von Patienten in Bauchlage zu schaffen, die die konventionellen einfachen Liegen ergänzen und damit geeignet machen für die genannte Behandlung und Untersuchung.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a headrest in the form of a side piece of furniture for lying down for the examination and treatment of patients in the prone position, who complement the conventional simple lying down and thus make them suitable for the treatment and examination mentioned.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird dieses Ziel mit einer Kopfauflage nach dem Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst, welche sich durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Patentanspruch 1 auszeichnen.According to the invention, this object is achieved with a headrest according to the preamble of claim 1, which is characterized by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Kopfauflage ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the headrest according to the invention result from the subclaims.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Kopfauflage mit schräggestelltem Kopfteil, teilweise das Kopfteil geschnitten;
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf das Kopfteip der Kopfauflage gemäß Fig. 1.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. The drawing shows:
  • Figure 1 is a side view of the headrest according to the invention with an inclined head part, partially cut the head part.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the head part of the headrest according to FIG. 1.

Wie man aus der Zeichnung erkennt, besteht die Kopfauflage 1 in Form eines Beistellmöbels zu einer in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Liege im wesentlichen aus dem dreibeinigen Stativ 2 und dem am oberen Ende des Stativs am Schwenklager 11 befestigten Kopfteil 14. Das Stativ 2 besteht aus den drei Beinen 4a, 4b und 4c, die in den Knotenpunkt 7 mittels entsprechender Gewindeteile 5a, 5b, 5c eingeschraubt sind. Der Knotenpunkt 7 besteht aus einem zylindrischen Abschnitt mit einer axialsymmetrischen Bohrung, in welche das Basisrohr 3 soweit eingeschoben und darin fixiert ist, daß es im Bodenbereich noch etwa 2 cm über dem Boden zu liegen kommt. Am Ende der drei Beine 4a, 4b, 4c sind Gummipfropfen 6a, 6b, 6c aufgesteckt, die dem Möbel eine größere Rutschfestigkeit verleihen. In dem Basisrohr 3 ist ein zweites oberes Rohr 8 teleskopartig vershiebbar angeordnet. Die Fixierung des oberen Rohres 8 im Basisrohr 3 erfolgt mittels der Befestigungsschraube 10, die in dem auf dem Basisrohr 3 befestigten Kopf 9 geführt ist und sich durch eine entsprechende Bohrung im Basisrohr 3 bis auf die Oberfläche des oberen Rohres 8 erstreckt. Auf diese Weise ist eine einfache Höhenverstellbarkeit nach Lösen der Befestigungsschraube 10 möglich.As can be seen from the drawing, the headrest 1 in the form of a piece of furniture for a bed, not shown in the drawing, consists essentially of the tripod stand 2 and the head part 14 fastened to the pivot bearing 11 at the upper end of the stand. The stand 2 consists of the three legs 4a, 4b and 4c, which are screwed into the node 7 by means of corresponding threaded parts 5a, 5b, 5c. The junction 7 consists of a cylindrical section with an axially symmetrical bore, into which the base tube 3 is inserted and fixed so far that it still lies about 2 cm above the floor in the floor area. At the end of the three legs 4a, 4b, 4c rubber plugs 6a, 6b, 6c are attached, which give the furniture greater slip resistance. In the base tube 3, a second upper tube 8 is arranged to be telescopically displaceable. The upper tube 8 is fixed in the base tube 3 by means of the fastening screw 10, which is guided in the head 9 fastened on the base tube 3 and extends through a corresponding bore in the base tube 3 to the surface of the upper tube 8. In this way, a simple height adjustment is possible after loosening the fastening screw 10.

Am oberen Ende des oberen Rohres 8 ist ein Schwenklager 11 angebracht. Das Schwenklager 11 weist einen länglichen Schlitz 12zurAufnahme des Traggestells 13 für das Kopfteil 14 auf. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht das Traggestell aus den beiden Armen 13a, 13b, die einander im Schlitz 12 überlappen und über den Bolzen 20 der Fixierschraube 21 geführt sind. Die oberen Enden der Arme 13a, 13b enden in Köpfen 22, 23, die gleichfalls mit Schlitzen 24, 25 versehen sind, in denen die oberen Armenden befestigt sind. Diese Ausführungsform hat den Vorteil, daß man nach Abnahme des Kopfteils 14 die Arme 13a, 13b in die Ebene des Kopfteils 14 abklappen kann. Dadurch läßt sich die gesamte Kopfauflage in einfacher Weise in einem flachen Paket, beispielsweise in einer Aktentasche, verpacken und transportieren. Hierzu muß man lediglich noch die drei Beine 4a, 4b, 4c des dreibeinigen Stativs aus den entsprechenden Gewindelöchern für die Gewindestutzen 5a, 5b, 5c im Knotenpunkt 7 herausschrauben und dazupacken. Auch das obere Rohr 8 kann in einfacher Weise aus dem Basisrohr 3 nach Lösen der Befestigungsschraube 10 entfernt werden, wodurch die Gesamtlänge des Mittelträgers verkürzt und das Paket entsprechend verkleinert wird.At the upper end of the upper tube 8, a pivot bearing 11 is attached. The pivot bearing 11 has an elongated slot 12 for receiving the support frame 13 for the head part 14. In the embodiment shown, the support frame consists of the two arms 13a, 13b, which overlap one another in the slot 12 and are guided over the bolt 20 of the fixing screw 21. The upper ends of the arms 13a, 13b end in heads 22, 23 which are also provided with slots 24, 25 in which the upper arm ends are fastened. This embodiment has the advantage that, after removing the head part 14, the arms 13a, 13b can be folded down into the plane of the head part 14. As a result, the entire headrest can be packaged and transported in a simple manner in a flat package, for example in a briefcase. All you have to do is unscrew the three legs 4a, 4b, 4c of the three-legged tripod from the corresponding threaded holes for the threaded connectors 5a, 5b, 5c at node 7 and pack them. The upper tube 8 can also be removed in a simple manner from the base tube 3 after loosening the fastening screw 10, as a result of which the overall length of the central carrier is shortened and the package is reduced accordingly.

Es ist jedoch auch möglich, das Kopfteil 14 mittels eines einteiligen in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten runden Bügels im Schwenklager 11 zu führen. Die Formgebung des Bügels bzw. die Winkelstellung der beiden Arme des Traggestells werden so gewählt, daß ein Kontakt mit dem Gesicht des Patienten vermieden ist, welches in der Aussparung 18 des Kopfteils 14 ruht. Diese Aussparung 18 ist so gewählt, daß der Patient Mund- und Nasenpartie in der Untersuchungs- bzw. Behändlungslage frei hat, d.h. daß diese Partie nicht von der Unterlage abgedeckt ist.However, it is also possible to guide the head part 14 in the pivot bearing 11 by means of a one-piece round bracket, not shown in the drawing. The shape of the bracket or the angular position of the two arms of the support frame are chosen so that contact with the patient's face is avoided, which rests in the recess 18 of the head part 14. This recess 18 is selected so that the patient has free mouth and nose area in the examination or treatment position, i.e. that this lot is not covered by the document.

Als zweckmäßige Form für die Aussparung 18 für das Kopfteil 14 hat sich die in Fig. 2 dargestellte etwa elliptische Aussparung erwiesen, wobei die beiden Enden mit größerer Krümmung begradigt sein können, wie dies in der Zeichnung gezeigt ist. Bei einem praktischen Ausführungsbeispiel hat sich eine Längserstreckung der Aussparung 18 von 19 cm und eine Breite von 12 cm als zweckmäßig herausgestellt, um dem Patienten in Bauchlage ein entspanntes und ermüdungsfreies Atmen zu ermöglichen. Der gesamte Kopfteil 14 hat eine Längserstreckung von 34 cm und eine Quererstreckung von 30 cm. Es versteht sich, daß die Erfindung jedoch nicht auf diese Maße beschränkt ist.The approximately elliptical cutout shown in FIG. 2 has proven to be a suitable shape for the cutout 18 for the head part 14, it being possible for the two ends to be straightened with greater curvature, as is shown in the drawing. In a practical embodiment there is a longitudinal extension of the off saving 18 by 19 cm and a width of 12 cm was found to be useful to allow the patient to breathe relaxed and fatigue-free in the prone position. The entire head part 14 has a longitudinal extension of 34 cm and a transverse extension of 30 cm. It goes without saying that the invention is not restricted to these dimensions.

Der Kopfteil 14 besteht, wie man aus dem Teilschnitt der Seitenansicht gemäß Fig. 1 im linken Bereich erkennen kann, aus einem Brett 15, einer Schaumstoffauflage 16 und einem geeigneten glatten Überzug 17.The head part 14, as can be seen from the partial section of the side view according to FIG. 1 in the left area, consists of a board 15, a foam pad 16 and a suitable smooth cover 17.

Die Form der Aussparung 18 im Kopfteil 14 ist in der Draufsicht gemäß Fig. 2 besonders gut zu erkennen. Die stärker gekrümmten schmalen Endbereiche der Aussparung 18 können wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt etwas begradigt sein; diese Teile können jedoch auch dem üblichen Ellipsenverlauffolgend abgerundet ausgebildet sein.The shape of the recess 18 in the head part 14 can be seen particularly well in the plan view according to FIG. 2. The more curved narrow end regions of the recess 18 can be somewhat straightened, as shown in FIG. 2; however, these parts can also be rounded, following the usual ellipse.

Die beschriebene Kopfauflage bietet noch einmal zusammengefasst die bereits erwähnten Vorteile, daß sie zunächst eine ohne Kopfteil ausgebildete Liege ohne weiteres in eine Untersuchungs-und Behandlungsliege zu verwandeln gestattet. Die leichte Höhenverstellbarkeit bietet gegenüber angebauten Kopfstützen den Vorteil einer besseren Adaption an die physiologischen Gegebenheiten des zu untersuchenden und/oder zu behandelnden Patienten. Die beschriebene Konstruktion bietet schliesslich den Vorteil der leichten Transportfähigkeit, da das Gerät in einfacher Weise zerlegt und zu einem flachen Paket zusammengestellt werden kann.The headrest described once again offers the advantages already mentioned in summary that it initially allows a couch designed without a head section to be readily converted into an examination and treatment couch. The easy height adjustment offers the advantage of better adaptation to the physiological conditions of the patient to be examined and / or treated compared to the attached headrests. The construction described finally offers the advantage of easy transportability, since the device can be dismantled in a simple manner and assembled into a flat package.
