Le dispositifs selon l'invention a pour but : a) - de permettre à une personne handicapée, à mobilité réduite ou âgée, de rentrer et sortir de sa baignoire, sans effort, en toute autonomie. b) - d'être extrêmement simple, économique et de fonctionner à l'eau de ville. c) - de ne nécessiter aucun entretien.The present invention relates to the field of means and equipment for launching baths for the disabled, people with reduced mobility and the elderly, independently and without effort. The purpose of the devices according to the invention is: a) - to allow a disabled person, with reduced mobility or the elderly, to get in and out of their bathtub, effortlessly, independently. b) - to be extremely simple, economical and to run on tap water. c) - not to require any maintenance.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention est constitué d'éléments simples et démontables comme le montrent les dessins annexés. Il se compose : 1- D'une colonne en acier traité anti-corrosion ou en acier inoxydable (1) de guidage et de maintien de 45 millimètres de diamètre par exemple, qui repose au sol d'une part et qui est maintenue en compression par une vis vérin (2) ou goupillée à collerette (3) fixée (4) au plafond d'autre part, ce qui offre une parfaite stabilité à la colonne. La partie inférieure est maintenue par une autre collerette (5) fixée au sol (6) qui sert également de surface de roulement à la roulette (13). Ainsi fixée, la colonne sera d'une grande rigidité. Elle peut être, soit en une seule pièce, soit télés copique. Pour que la rotation se fasse convenablement, la colonne sera fixée par exemple à 10 centimètres du bord de la baignoire et, à 20 centimètres du mur perpendiculaire au bord de la baignoire. PLANCHE 2/3 FIGURE 2. 2- D'un ensemble support (7) constitué d'un tube carré ou cylindrique soudé dans un profilé en forme de "U" ou de "C" où des bagues de guidage (8) en matière plastique seront fixées aux extrémités. On peut également les remplacer par des douilles à billes, ou autres, pour avoir un bon guidage. Dans cet ensemble support de 80 centimètres de haut, par exemple, est monté un vérin (9) équipé de ses équerres (10) et des fixations (11). Le nez du vérin dirigé vers le bas sera équipé d'une chape femelle (12) dans laquelle sera montée une roulette (13). Ainsi monté, l'ensemble est monobloc. Par l'action du vérin, l'ensem- ble support (7) coulisse le long de la colonne en montée et en descente. De plus, grâce à la roulette (13) cet ensemble support peut pivoter très facilement autour de cette colonne (1). Sur la face arrière par exemple est monté un pontet (17) qui sert de logement au bras support (16) destiné à recevoir le siège (20) qui pourrait également être un strapontin par exemple, de manière à occuper le moins de place possible dans la salle de bain. Lorsque tous les éléments sont montés, un habillage (18) englobe le tout. La partie supérieure de cet habillage peut être fermée par un couvercle (19). La poignée de commande (14) peut être montée en façade ou sur le couvercle avec ses tuyaux d'alimentation (15), cette commande, peut être un robinet 4 voies alimentant en eau les 2 orifices du vérin. Le principe de fonctionnement est très simple. La personne s'installe dans le siège (20) en position repos selon la FIGURE 1 PAGE 1/3, tourne ensuite la poignée de commande (14) sur la positionThe device according to the invention consists of simple and removable elements as shown in the accompanying drawings. It consists of: 1- A column of anti-corrosion treated steel or stainless steel (1) for guiding and holding 45 millimeters in diameter for example, which rests on the ground on the one hand and which is kept in compression by a screw jack (2) or pinned with a flange (3) fixed (4) to the ceiling on the other hand, which offers perfect stability to the column. The lower part is held by another flange (5) fixed to the ground (6) which also serves as a rolling surface for the caster (13). Thus fixed, the column will be very rigid. It can be either in one piece, or copied TVs. For the rotation to take place properly, the column will be fixed, for example, at 10 cm from the edge of the bath and, at 20 cm from the wall perpendicular to the edge of the bath. BOARD 2/3 FIGURE 2. 2- A support assembly (7) consisting of a square or cylindrical tube welded into a "U" or "C" shaped profile where guide rings (8) of plastic material will be fixed at the ends. They can also be replaced by ball bushings, or the like, for good guidance. In this support assembly 80 centimeters high, for example, is mounted a jack (9) equipped with its brackets (10) and fixings (11). The nose of the jack directed downwards will be fitted with a female yoke (12) in which a caster (13) will be mounted. Thus assembled, the assembly is in one piece. By the action of the jack, the support assembly (7) slides along the column up and down. In addition, thanks to the wheel (13) this support assembly can pivot very easily around this column (1). On the rear face for example is mounted a trigger guard (17) which serves as a housing for the support arm (16) intended to receive the seat (20) which could also be a folding seat for example, so as to occupy the least possible space in The bathroom. When all the elements are mounted, a covering (18) encompasses the whole. The upper part of this covering can be closed by a cover (19). The control handle (14) can be mounted on the front or on the cover with its supply pipes (15), this control can be a 4-way tap supplying water to the 2 orifices of the jack. The operating principle is very simple. The person settles in the seat (20) in the rest position according to FIGURE 1 PAGE 1/3, then turns the control handle (14) to the position
"montée" et le siège monte de 600 millimètres par exemple, course du vérin, de manière à ce que les pieds ne touchent pas le bord de la baignoire. En position haute, la personne fait pivoter le siège de 90 degrés en prenant appui sur la barre (21) fixée au mur, ensuite, elle met la poignée de commande en position "descente" et le siège descend de la course du vérin, c'est-à-dire de 600 millimètres par exemple. Ce qui fait, qu'en position basse, le siège est à environ 6 ou 7 centimètres du fond de la baignoire. La per sonne handicapée se trouve dans sa baignoire avec un minimum d'effort et sans aucune assistance. Pour ressortir, elle se réin talle dans le siège et refait l'opération inverse. C'est-à-dire qu'elle remonte de la course du vérin et pivote de 90 degrés, do à la baignoire. Ensuite elle tourne la poignée de commande en position "descente" et elle reprend sa position initiale. Le siège peut être équipé d'une rallonge (22) destinée à supporter les jambes du baigneur en position horizontale, cette rallonge pivotant autour d'une articulation (23) fixée sous le sièg (20) commandée par un levier (24) que l'on peut bloquer dans la position repos ou horizontale. PLANCHE 3/3 FIGURE 3. "climb" and the seat rises by 600 millimeters, for example, cylinder stroke, so that the feet do not touch the edge of the bathtub. In the high position, the person rotates the seat 90 degrees by resting on the bar (21) fixed to the wall, then, he puts the control handle in the "down" position and the seat descends from the stroke of the jack, c that is to say 600 millimeters for example. So that, in the low position, the seat is about 6 or 7 centimeters from the bottom of the tub. The disabled person is in their bathtub with minimal effort and without any assistance. To come out, she puts herself back in the seat and does the reverse operation. That is to say, it rises from the stroke of the cylinder and pivots 90 degrees, do to the bathtub. Then it turns the control handle to the "down" position and returns to its initial position. The seat can be equipped with an extension (22) intended to support the legs of the bather in a horizontal position, this extension pivoting around a joint (23) fixed under the seat (20) controlled by a lever (24) that the 'can be locked in the rest or horizontal position.
