Description

L'objet de l'invention se rattache au secteur technique des matériels sanitaires et plus particulièrement du mobilier pour les soins hygiéniques à donner aux malades et aux handicapés.The object of the invention relates to the technical sector of sanitary materials and more particularly furniture for hygienic care to be given to the sick and the disabled.

Dans les lieux publics, les hôpitaux, les cliniques, les stations thermales, les maisons de repos et autres centres de soins, on dispose de différents matériels pour assurer l'hygiène corporelle des malades et handicapés. On cite notamment les dispositifs élévateurs avec siège pour amener le patient dans une baignoire, les sièges rotatifs disposés sur la baignoire, les sièges fixés en suspension contre un mur pour doucher les patients en position assise.In public places, hospitals, clinics, spas, rest homes and other care centers, various materials are available to ensure the personal hygiene of the sick and disabled. Mention is made in particular of lifting devices with a seat for bringing the patient into a bath, the rotary seats arranged on the bath, the seats fixed in suspension against a wall for showering the patients in a seated position.

Les sièges suspendus à un mur peuvent être équipés de douchettes multiples et orientables au-­dessus et éventuellement autour du siège.Seats suspended from a wall can be fitted with multiple, adjustable shower heads above and possibly around the seat.

Du fait que ces sièges sont accolés à un mur, on comprend qu'il n'est pas toujours facile ou agréable pour le personnel soignant d'effectuer la toilette complète du patient ou de règler convenablement les douchettes en vue de massages hydrothérapiques sans être constamment aspergé.Because these seats are attached to a wall, it is understood that it is not always easy or pleasant for the nursing staff to carry out the full toilet of the patient or to adjust the showers properly for hydrotherapeutic massages without being constantly asparagus.

C'est pour obvier à ces inconvénients que l'on a conçu le siège selon l'invention qui permet d'effectuer aisément la toilette ou les massages des patients par douche simple ou douchettes multiples, en évitant au maximum les aspersions du personnel soignant.It is to obviate these drawbacks that the seat according to the invention has been designed, which makes it possible to easily wash or massage patients by simple shower or multiple showers, while avoiding spraying by nursing staff as much as possible.

Pour cela et selon une première caractéristique, le siège de réception du patient est monté sur une ossature support du type mat dont les extrémités sont fixées solidement entre mur et sol ou entre sol et plafond selon une position éloignée des murs du local sanitaire.For this and according to a first characteristic, the patient reception seat is mounted on a support frame of the mat type, the ends of which are fixed firmly between wall and floor or between floor and ceiling in a position remote from the walls of the sanitary room.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques mises en oeuvre pour faciliter les soins, le siège est monté à rotation libre et contrôlée sur l'ossature support, et de manière règlable en hauteur.According to other characteristics implemented to facilitate care, the seat is mounted with free rotation and controlled on the support frame, and in an adjustable manner in height.

D'autres caractéristiques destinées à s'adapter à tous les cas d'espèce se trouvent dans le fait que le siège est soit fixe soit rabattable, soit amovible, que le siège ou l'élément porte-siège présente des accoudoirs de préférence relevables et réglables en largeur, et que le porte-siège reçoit un ou des porte-­douchettes d'aspersion.Other characteristics intended to adapt to all cases are found in the fact that the seat is either fixed or foldable, or removable, that the seat or the seat-carrying element has armrests which are preferably liftable and adjustable in width, and that the seat holder receives one or more spray shower holders.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres encore ressortiront de la description qui suit.These characteristics and others will emerge from the description which follows.

Pour fixer l'objet de l'invention sans toutefois le limiter, dans les dessins annexés :

  • - La figure 1 est une vue en perspective illustrant le siège selon un exemple de réalisation avec ossature support fixée entre mur et sol.
  • La figure 2 est une vue de côté du siège associé à une ossature support fixée entre sol et plafond représenté sans les accoudoirs.
  • - La figure 3 est une vue à plus grande échelle illustrant le montage articulé d'un accoudoir sur un élément du porte-siège.
  • - La figure 4 est une vue partielle illustrant un siège du type coque monté de manière amovible sur le porte-siège.
To fix the subject of the invention without however limiting it, in the appended drawings:
  • - Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the seat according to an embodiment with support frame fixed between wall and floor.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of the seat associated with a support frame fixed between the floor and the ceiling shown without the armrests.
  • - Figure 3 is an enlarged view illustrating the articulated mounting of an armrest on an element of the seat carrier.
  • - Figure 4 is a partial view illustrating a shell type seat removably mounted on the seat carrier.

Afin de rendre plus concret l'objet de l'invention, on le décrit maintenant d'une manière non limitative illustrée aux figures des dessins.In order to make the object of the invention more concrete, it is now described in a nonlimiting manner illustrated in the figures of the drawings.

Le siège de soins (S) est fixé de toute manière connue sur un porte-siège (1) lui-même monté à rotation libre mais immobilisable sur une ossature support (2) qui est avantageusement formée d'un mat tubulaire (2a) dont les extrémités sont agencées directement ou de manière rapportée avec des pattes (2b) ou organes similaires pour la fixation au sol et soit à un mur soit au plafond du local sanitaire.The care seat (S) is fixed in any known manner to a seat holder (1) itself mounted for free rotation but immobilizable on a support frame (2) which is advantageously formed of a tubular mat (2a) of which the ends are arranged directly or attached with legs (2b) or similar devices for fixing to the floor and either to a wall or to the ceiling of the sanitary room.

D'une manière importante, on a voulu que le siège puisse tourner librement autour de l'ossature support sans être gêné par les murs du local. Cela est aisément obtenu lorsque l'ossature support est fixée entre sol et plafond avec dans ce cas, un agencement particulier du mat pour s'adapter aux différentes hauteurs de locaux. Par exemple en prévoyant un mât téléscopique en deux éléments (2a1-2a2) avec blocage (2a3) comme illustré à la figure 2.Importantly, we wanted the seat to be able to rotate freely around the support frame without being hindered by the walls of the room. This is easily obtained when the support frame is fixed between floor and ceiling with in this case, a particular arrangement of the mat to adapt to the different heights of premises. For example by providing a telescopic mast in two elements (2a1-2a2) with blocking (2a3) as illustrated in Figure 2.

Lorsque l'ossature support est fixée entre sol et mur (figure 1), la partie supérieure du mât (2) se termine par une partie coudée (2a4) perpendiculaire au mât et établie sur une longueur suffisante pour obtenir l'écartement nécessaire à la rotation du siège. On peut éventuellement prévoir une rallonge intermédiaire entre la partie coudée et la patte de fixation.When the support frame is fixed between floor and wall (Figure 1), the upper part of the mast (2) ends in a bent part (2a4) perpendicular to the mast and established over a sufficient length to obtain the spacing necessary for the seat rotation. An intermediate extension can optionally be provided between the bent part and the fixing lug.

Le porte-siège (1) est constitué par un fourreau (1a) tourillonnant sur le mât et d'un cadre (1b) solidaire du fourreau et destiné à recevoir par tous moyens le siège (S) qui peut être réglé en hauteur par rapport audit fourreau, par exemple à l'aide d'une goupille (3) engagée dans un des multiples trous (2a5) réalisés sur le mat et sur laquelle repose le fourreau.The seat carrier (1) consists of a sleeve (1a) swiveling on the mast and a frame (1b) integral with the sleeve and intended to receive by all means the seat (S) which can be adjusted in height relative to said sheath, for example using a pin (3) engaged in one of the multiple holes (2a5) made on the mat and on which the sheath rests.

Le siège (S) peut être réalisé de différentes manières. Par exemple à lattes comme illustré figure 1, ou sous forme de coque à multiperforations comme illustré figure 4. Le siège peut être monté sur le porte-siège soit à demeure et fixé sur le cadre (1b), soit de manière amovible en suspension par crochets (S1) et appui inférieur (S2) sur le cadre (1b) comme on le voit à la figure 4.The seat (S) can be produced in different ways. For example with slats as illustrated in FIG. 1, or in the form of a multi-perforation shell as illustrated in FIG. 4. The seat can be mounted on the seat carrier either permanently and fixed to the frame (1b), or removably suspended by hooks (S1) and lower support (S2) on the frame (1b) as seen in Figure 4.

Le siège peut être également constitué de deux éléments fixés ou articulés pour être rabattu devant le dossier en période de non utilisation.The seat can also consist of two fixed or articulated elements to be folded down in front of the backrest when not in use.

Le porte-siège (1) présente encore à sa partie supérieure une traverse tubulaire (1c) recevant à chaque extrémité un accoudoir (4) comportant à cet effet une barre d'accouplement (4a) pouvant être bloquée en (1d) suivant des positions multiples dans la traverse en fonction de la morphologie du patient.The seat carrier (1) also has at its upper part a tubular crosspiece (1c) receiving at each end an armrest (4) comprising for this purpose a coupling bar (4a) which can be locked in (1d) according to positions multiples in the crosspiece depending on the patient's morphology.

Suivant une autre réalisation possible, les accoudoirs peuvent être directement montés à coulissement contrôlé sur la travers (1c) par des manchons équipés de moyens de blocage.According to another possible embodiment, the armrests can be directly mounted with controlled sliding on the cross member (1c) by sleeves fitted with locking means.

Les accoudoirs sont de préférence relevables pour faciliter l'accès du siège au patient. Pour cela, la tige d'accouplement (4a) ou le manchon est solidaire d'une barrette (4b) en haut de laquelle s'articule en (4C) l'extrémité d'un tube (4d) constituant l'accoudoir dont l'autre extrémité recourbée en dessous s'appuie dans une cavité formée sous la barrette en position d'utilisation.The armrests are preferably liftable to facilitate access from the seat to the patient. For this, the coupling rod (4a) or the sleeve is integral with a bar (4b) at the top of which is articulated at (4C) the end of a tube (4d) constituting the armrest, the l 'other curved end below is supported in a cavity formed under the bar in the position of use.

Le fourreau (1a) ou le porte-siège peut être équipé d'un dispositif à douchettes multiples et orientables (5) pour asperger le patient suivant tout ou partie du corps. A cette effet, une traverse (6) formant rampe d'arrosage est fixée en haut du fourreau pour recevoir les douchettes. On peut prévoir également une rampe en forme de U renversé pour disposer un plus grand nombre de douchettes d'aspersion.The sheath (1a) or the seat holder can be equipped with a device with multiple and adjustable shower heads (5) for spraying the patient along all or part of the body. For this purpose, a crosspiece (6) forming a spraying ramp is fixed at the top of the sheath to receive the showers. One can also provide a ramp in the form of an inverted U to have a greater number of spray showers.

Les avantages ressortent bien de la description. On souligne notamment : le montage rotatif sur 360° et le règlage en hauteur du siège facilitant les soins, le siège amovible pouvant servir à transférer directement le patient d'une structure roulante ou porte-siège, les accoudoirs réglables et relevables facilitant l'accès au patient, les douchettes entourent le patient pour les massages hydrothérapiques.The advantages are apparent from the description. In particular, we highlight: the 360 ° rotatable mounting and the height adjustment of the seat facilitating care, the removable seat that can be used to directly transfer the patient from a rolling structure or seat holder, the adjustable armrests and Liftable for easy access to the patient, the showers surround the patient for hydrotherapy massages.
