Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une valise portative pouvant être convertie en fauteuil.The present invention relates to a portable suitcase which can be converted into an armchair.
Au cours des dernières décennies, l'évolution des sciences médicales a permis de prolonger la durée moyenne de vie de 45 à 75 ans. En France, le pourcentage de la population âgée de plus de 60 ans est passé de 6,74% en 1950 à 17,60% en 1981.In recent decades, the evolution of medical sciences has made it possible to extend the average lifespan from 45 to 75 years. In France, the percentage of the population over the age of 60 rose from 6.74% in 1950 to 17.60% in 1981.
Il est alors nécessaire d'apporter davantages de soins médicaux à cette population spécifique de personnes âgées qui n'ont pas toujours la faculté physique de se déplacer pour recevoir les soins.It is therefore necessary to provide more medical care to this specific population of elderly people who do not always have the physical ability to travel to receive care.
Dans le domaine particulier des soins bucco-dentaires, l'intervention de dentistes aux domiciles des personnes âgées constituerait une réponse appropriée aux besoins de ces dernières. Cela nécessite un système mobile adapté en ce qui concerne non seulement l'instrumentation, mais également un fauteuil adapté pour permettre la réalisation des soins dans un confort optimum pour le patient et le praticien.In the particular field of oral care, the intervention of dentists in the homes of the elderly would constitute an appropriate response to the needs of the latter. This requires a mobile system adapted as regards not only the instrumentation, but also an armchair adapted to allow the realization of care in optimum comfort for the patient and the practitioner.
D'un point de vue plus général, la majorité des pays occidentaux ont, au minimum, un dentiste pour 5000 habitants. En revanche, dans un grand nombre de pays sous-développés, par exemple en Somalie, en Tanzanie, au Ruanda, on trouve moins d'un dentiste diplômé autochtone pour un million d'habitants. Dans ces pays, au vu des ressources financières disponibles pour la santé, le chirurgien dentiste devra s'installer dans des dispensaires de brousse ou aller chez les habitants pour traiter la maladie bucco-dentaire.From a more general point of view, the majority of Western countries have, at a minimum, one dentist per 5000 inhabitants. On the other hand, in a large number of underdeveloped countries, for example in Somalia, in Tanzania, in Ruanda, there is less than one native dentist with a diploma per million inhabitants. In these countries, given the financial resources available for health, the dental surgeon should settle in bush dispensaries or go to the locals to treat oral disease.
Il faut également mentionner le besoin de soins bucco-dentaires des handicapés qui sont souvent pénalisés par leur impossibilité de se déplacer chez le dentiste.Mention should also be made of the need for oral care for the disabled, who are often penalized by their inability to travel to the dentist.
La présente invention a pour objet de résoudre les problèmes évoqués ci-dessus en proposant un système portatif simple, léger et pratique pour réaliser des soins bucco-dentaires à l'extérieur des établissements spécialisés ou des cabinets dentaires.The object of the present invention is to solve the problems mentioned above by proposing a simple, light and practical portable system for carrying out oral care outside specialized establishments or dental offices.
L'invention a également pour objet de fournir un système portatif pouvant être utilisé dans des domaines d'intervention très variés, tels que missions humanitaires et médecine des catastrophes, services sanitaires des armées et assistance sanitaire des manifestations sportives et des collectivités.The invention also aims to provide a portable system which can be used in a wide variety of fields of intervention, such as humanitarian missions and disaster medicine, military health services and medical assistance for sports events and communities.
Le système portatif, selon l'invention, est constitué par une valise convertible munie de deux semi-coques complémentaires l'une de l'autre. Lorsque la valise est fermée, les deux demi-coques sont montées face à face pour enfermer un volume dans lequel on peut disposer par exemple un matelas pneumatique, un siège pour le praticien, la petite instrumentation...The portable system, according to the invention, consists of a convertible case provided with two semi-shells complementary to each other. When the suitcase is closed, the two half-shells are mounted face to face to enclose a volume in which one can have for example an air mattress, a seat for the practitioner, small instrumentation ...
Selon l'invention, les deux demi-coques sont séparables et pourvues chacune au dos un moyen d'assemblage. Après avoir séparé les deux demi-coques, on dispose d'abord la première demi-coques horizontalement sur le sol avec son dos orienté vers le haut. On dispose ensuite la seconde demi-coque dos à dos sur la première demi-coque et les assembler à l'aide des moyens d'assemblage respectifs des deux demi-coques. Un moyen de réglage est associé aux moyens d'assemblage pour régler la position relative des demi-coques assemblées.According to the invention, the two half-shells are separable and each provided on the back with an assembly means. After having separated the two half-shells, the first half-shells are first placed horizontally on the ground with its back facing upwards. The second half-shell is then placed back to back on the first half-shell and assembled using the respective assembly means of the two half-shells. An adjustment means is associated with the assembly means for adjusting the relative position of the assembled half-shells.
La seconde demi-coque comprend un premier élément articulé autour d'un axe situé à un côté de la demi-coque et pouvant être plié vers l'intérieur et l'extérieur de la demi-coque, un second élément articulé autour d'un axe parallèle au premier et situé sur le côté opposé de celui-ci.The second half-shell comprises a first element articulated around an axis located at one side of the half-shell and being able to be folded towards the inside and the outside of the half-shell, a second element articulated around a axis parallel to the first and located on the opposite side of it.
En position dépliée des éléments articulés, l'ensemble forme un fauteuil dont le socle est constitué par la première demi-coque et dont le siège est constitué par la seconde demi-coque complétée par les deux éléments articulés dépliés comme surfaces d'appui des jambes et du dos du patient. L'orientation et l'inclinaison du siège par rapport au socle peut être réglée par l'intermédiaire des moyens d'assemblage et du moyen de réglage. On peut prévoir des moyens de réglage d'inclinaison des éléments articulés par rapport à la seconde demi-coque dans le but de pouvoir adapter l'inclinaison du dossier et du repose-pieds du fauteuil. Pour plus de confort, on peut disposer un matelas pneumatique dans son état gonflé, sur le surface d'appui du siège, ce matelas pouvant être transporté dans son état de dégonflage dans la valise initiale avant sa conversion en fauteuil.In the unfolded position of the articulated elements, the assembly forms a chair whose base is constituted by the first half-shell and whose seat is constituted by the second half-shell completed by the two articulated elements unfolded as bearing surfaces for the legs and the patient's back. The orientation and the inclination of the seat relative to the base can be adjusted by means of the assembly means and the adjustment means. Means can be provided for adjusting the inclination of the articulated elements with respect to the second half-shell in order to be able to adapt the inclination of the backrest and the footrest of the chair. For greater comfort, an air mattress can be placed in its inflated state on the seat support surface, this mattress being able to be transported in its deflated state in the initial suitcase before being converted into a wheelchair.
Des moyens d'assemblage des demi-coques peuvent être constitués par une nervures et une rainures, complémentaires d'une de l'autre, prévues sur les dos respectifs des demi-coques. Le dos de la première coque comporte de préférence une dépression dont la forme épouse sensiblement à celle du dos de la seconde demi-coque, dans le but de mieux répartir les efforts subis par les demi-coques, lorsqu'un patient est allongé sur le fauteuil ainsi converti.Means for assembling the half-shells can be constituted by ribs and grooves, complementary to one another, provided on the respective backs of the half-shells. The back of the first shell preferably has a depression, the shape of which conforms substantially to that of the back of the second half-shell, in order to better distribute the forces undergone by the half-shells, when a patient is lying on the armchair thus converted.
Le moyen de réglage peut être assuré par un dispositif de blocage qui peut faire varier le frottement entre les moyens d'assemblage ou bloquer les moyens d'assemblage par un élément rapporté.The adjustment means can be provided by a blocking device which can vary the friction between the joining means or block the joining means by an attached element.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'étude de la description détaillée d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention pris à titre nullement limitatif et illustré par les dessins annexés sur lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de la valise convertible selon l'invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue éclatée de la valise de la figure 1 avec deux demi-coques séparées;
- la figure 3 est une vue de côté du fauteuil monté à partir de la valise des figures 1 et 2.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the convertible suitcase according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is an exploded view of the bag of Figure 1 with two separate half-shells;
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the chair mounted from the bag of FIGS. 1 and 2.
Comme illustré sur les figures, la valise portative est constituée d'une première demi-coque 1 et d'une seconde demi-coque 2, de forme complémentaire l'une de l'autre, assemblées face à face en enfermant un volume pour contenir les objets. La valise est de forme sensiblement ovoïde et pourvue d'une poignée 3 sur un côté latéral de la première demi-coque.As illustrated in the figures, the portable suitcase consists of a first half-shell 1 and a second half-
La première demi-coque 1 comporte au dos une dépression 4 dont la surface est courbée de la même façon que le dos de la seconde demi-coque 2. Une rainure longitudinale 5 est pratiquée sur la dépression 4 de la première demi-coque 1. La rainure 5 est de section constante et dont la largeur du fond est supérieure à la largeur de son ouverture. Sur le dos de la seconde demi-coque 2 est prévue une nervure longitudinale 6 courbée, de forme complémentaire à la rainure 5 de la première demi-coque.The first half-shell 1 has a depression 4 on the back, the surface of which is curved in the same way as the back of the second half-
La valise est pourvue d'autres moyens, non représentés, pour maintenir ensemble les deux demi-coques 1 et 2 et l'ouverture de la valise comme une valise classique.The suitcase is provided with other means, not shown, for holding together the two half-
La seconde demi-coque 2 comporte deux éléments articulés 7 et 8 montés à l'opposé l'un de l'autre autour des axes parallèles qui sont situés sur les deux côtés d'extrémité de la demi-coque 2. De préférence, les éléments articulés 7, 8 sont réalisés sous forme de plaques courbées de longueur déterminée, de sorte qu'en position pliée, ils épousent la forme de la face intérieure de la demi-coque 2, les deux extrémités libres 7a et 8a respectives se trouvant bout à bout au fond de la face intérieure de la demi-coque 2.The second half-
Pour réaliser la conversion de la valise en un fauteuil, on sépare d'abord les demi-coques 1 et 2. Puis on pose à plat la première demi-coque 1 sur le sol, la dépression 4 de la demi-coque 1 étant orientée vers le haut. On dispose ensuite la seconde demi-coque 2 avec son dos vers le bas sur la dépression 4 de la première demi-coque 1, la nervure longitudinale courbée 6 au dos de la seconde demi-coque 2 glissant à l'intérieur de la rainure 5 de la première demi-coque 1. Les demi-coques 1 et 2 sont ainsi assemblées dos à dos avec possibilité de changer l'inclinaison de la seconde demi-coque 2 par rapport à la première demi-coque 1 à l'aide de la rainure 5 et de la nervure 6.To carry out the conversion of the suitcase into an armchair, the half-
On déplie ensuite le premier élément articulé 7 vers l'extérieur de la seconde demi-coque 2 jusqu'à une position limite représentée sur la figure 3, cette position limite pouvant être réglée par un moyen approprié non représenté pour changer l'inclinaison de l'élément 7 par rapport à la demi-coque 2. Il en est de même pour le second élément articulé 8. Les éléments articulés 7 et 8 peuvent comporter des moyens de blocage pour renforcer leur résistance mécanique en position déployée. On obtient ainsi une surface d'appui pour recevoir un patient allongé sur le fauteuil.The first articulated element 7 is then unfolded towards the outside of the second half-
De préférence, le fauteuil 9 ainsi obtenu est utilisé en combinaison avec un matelas mou, tel qu'un matelas pneumatique, de façon avoir une surface de réception du patient plus confortable. Ce matelas peut comporter des poignées sur les bords latéraux pour le portage du patient.Preferably, the chair 9 thus obtained is used in combination with a soft mattress, such as an air mattress, so as to have a more comfortable patient reception surface. This mattress may include handles on the lateral edges for carrying the patient.
L'élément articulé 7 peut comporter une partie d'extrémité 7b pivotable de façon à former un support d'appui-tête réglable. Comme montré sur la figure 3, l'élément articulé 7 peut servir de support d'une tablette 10 escamotable et amovible pour permettre au médecin de déposer ses outils.The articulated element 7 may include an
L'inclinaison du fauteuil peut être réglée grâce au jeu entre la nervure 6 et la rainure 5 prévue sur le dos des demi-coques 1 et 2. Cette inclinaison peut être bloquée à des positions indéterminées à l'aide de tout moyen de blocage connu en soi. Par ailleurs, dans un souci de réglage en hauteur du fauteuil, la première demi-coque 1 peut comporter un piétement 11 escamotable comme illustré sur la figure 3. On peut également prévoir une petite lampe télescopique montée sur un côté du premier élément articulé 7 aux fins d'éclairage nécessaire à l'intervention du médecin.The inclination of the chair can be adjusted by means of the play between the rib 6 and the
A la fin de l'intervention du médecin, le fauteuil peut être converti de nouveau en valise portative dans laquelle le médecin emporte tous ses instruments et le matelas pneumatique dégonflé. Il élargit ainsi considérablement le champ d'intervention au service des patients.At the end of the doctor's intervention, the chair can be converted back into a portable suitcase in which the doctor takes all his instruments and the deflated air mattress. It thus considerably widens the field of intervention in the service of patients.
