Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bett, insbesondere ein Krankenbett und/oder ein Pflegebett, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bed, in particular a hospital bed and / or a nursing bed, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Ein derartiges Bett ist aus der CH-PS 167 118 bekannt. Das vorbekannte Bett besteht aus einem Bettrahmen, in dem ein Liegeeinsatz angeordnet ist, und aus einem den Bettrahmen tragenden Hubgestell mit einer Hubvorrichtung zum Heben und Senken des Bettrahmens. Das Hubgestell besitzt vier Fußstützen. Der Bettrahmen weist nach unten weisende Trägerstützen auf. Am Fuß der Trägerstützen ist jeweils eine Fußrolle vorgesehen, und zwar am unteren Ende eines schräg nach außen und unten weisenden Tragstücks.Such a bed is known from CH-PS 167 118. The known bed consists of a bed frame, in which a bed insert is arranged, and a lifting frame carrying the bed frame with a lifting device for lifting and lowering the bed frame. The lifting frame has four footrests. The bed frame has support supports pointing downwards. A castor is provided at the foot of the support supports, at the lower end of a support piece that points obliquely outwards and downwards.

Die BE-PS 544 248 offenbart ein ähnliches Bett mit einem Bettrahmen und einem Hubgestell, bei dem mit dem Bettrahmen Fußrollen verbunden sind, die sich neben den Fußstützen befinden.BE-PS 544 248 discloses a similar bed with a bed frame and a lifting frame, in which castors are connected to the bed frame, which are located next to the footrests.

Die GB-PS 12 33 521 bzw. die entsprechende DE-AS 17 66 522 zeigt ein Bett mit einem Bettrahmen und einem Hubgestell, bei dem Rollen vorgesehen sind, die mit dem Hubgestell verbunden sind.GB-PS 12 33 521 or the corresponding DE-AS 17 66 522 shows a bed with a bed frame and a lifting frame, in which rollers are provided which are connected to the lifting frame.

Aus der US-PS 13 78 096 ist ein Bett bekannt, bei dem die nach unten weisenden Trägerstützen mit Fußrollen versehen sind. Die Fußstützen sind neben den Trägerstützen angeordnet.From US-PS 13 78 096 a bed is known in which the downward-facing support supports are provided with casters. The footrests are arranged next to the beam supports.

Die GB-PS 11 17 105 zeigt ein Bett mit Fußrollen, die mit dem Bettrahmen verbunden sind. Neben den Fußrollen sind ausfahrbare Fußstützen angeordnet.The GB-PS 11 17 105 shows a bed with castors that are connected to the bed frame. Extendable footrests are arranged next to the castors.

Bei den vorbekannten Betten sind die Fußrollen stets sichtbar. Sie sind ständig äußeren Einflüssen ausgesetzt.The castors are always visible on the known beds. They are constantly exposed to external influences.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei einem Bett der eingangs angegebenen Art das äußere Erscheinungsbild zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve the external appearance of a bed of the type specified.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Die Trägerstützen und die Fußrollen sind innerhalb der Fußstützen angeordnet. Weiterhin ragen die Fußrollen im abgesenkten Zustand unten aus den Fußstützen heraus. Wenn sich das Bett in seinem nach oben ausgefahrenen Zustand befindet, liegen die Fußrollen innerhalb der Fußstützen. Sie sind dann nicht sichtbar, wodurch das äußere Erscheinungsbild bzw. die "Optik" des Bettes verbessert wird. Weiterhin sind die Rollen vor äußeren Einflüssen geschützt, was die Sauberhaltung der Rollen erleichtert und Beschädigungen durch Verschmutzung verhindert.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. The support brackets and casters are located within the footrests. Furthermore, the castors protrude from the footrests when lowered. When the bed is in its upward extended position, the casters lie within the footrests. They are then not visible, which improves the external appearance or the "look" of the bed. Furthermore, the rollers are protected from external influences, which makes it easier to keep the rollers clean and prevents damage from contamination.

Im abgesenkten Zustand ragen die Rollen unten aus den Fußstützen heraus. Das Bett kann also gerollt werden. Im abgesenkten Zustand des Bettes sind die Rollen kaum sichtbar, da sie nur um eine verhältnismäßig kurze Distanz aus den Fußstützen nach unten herausragen müssen und da sie sich nach wie vor innerhalb der Fußstützen befinden, sodaß sie von schräg oben kaum sichtbar sind. Darüber hinaus wird das Bett nur für eine verhältnismäßig kurze Zeitspanne gerollt. Anschließend wird das Bett wieder nach oben gefahren, so daß die Fußrollen wieder vollständig in die Fußstützen hineingelangen und das Bett auf den Fußstützen wieder stabil steht. Die gewählte Anordnung hat den weiteren Vorteil, daß das Bett beim Rollen tiefer liegt, so daß es einfach manövriert werden kann. Beim stabilen Stand des Bettes ist dieses relativ hoch, sodaß die Patienten vom Pflegepersonal einfach gepflegt werden können. Das Bett und der darin befindliche Patient hat beim stabilen Stand des Bettes die erforderliche Höhe für die einfache Pflege durch das Pflegepersonal. Das Bett ist damit sehr gut handhabbar.When lowered, the rollers protrude from the footrests below. So the bed can be rolled. When the bed is lowered, the castors are barely visible, since they only have to protrude from the footrests by a relatively short distance and because they are still inside the footrests, so that they are hardly visible from diagonally above are. In addition, the bed is only rolled for a relatively short period of time. Then the bed is moved up again, so that the casters completely get back into the footrests and the bed is stable again on the footrests. The selected arrangement has the further advantage that the bed is lower when rolling, so that it can be easily maneuvered. When the bed is stable, it is relatively high, so that the nursing staff can easily care for the patients. When the bed is stable, the bed and the patient in it have the necessary height for easy care by the nursing staff. The bed is very easy to handle.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous further developments are described in the subclaims.

Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Fußstützen einen kastenförmigen oder rohrförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Die Fußstützen können an ihrem unteren Standrand mit einer druck- und rutschfesten Ringauflage, vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff, versehen sein.It is advantageous if the footrests have a box-shaped or tubular cross-section. The footrests can be provided on their lower edge with a pressure and non-slip ring support, preferably made of rubber or plastic.

Vorzugsweise ist das Hubgestell elektromechanisch oder hydraulisch höhenverstellbar.The lifting frame is preferably height-adjustable electromechanically or hydraulically.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß an den Trägerstützen die für das Eingreifen von Antriebs-und Verstellvorrichtungen dienenden Hubvorrichtungsteile, beispielsweise Zahnleisten, Kolben oder Zylinder angebracht sind.A further advantageous development is characterized in that the lifting device parts, for example toothed strips, pistons or cylinders, which are used for the engagement of drive and adjusting devices, are attached to the support supports.

Die Trägerstützen können länger als die Fußstützen ausgebildet sein, sodaß die Fußrollen bei eingefahrener Tiefstellung der Trägerstützen um ein geringes Maß aus der Fußstütze an der Standfläche nach unten vorstehen. Wenn die Trägerstützen vollständig in die Fußstützen eingefahren sind, ragen die Fußrollen unten aus den Fußstützen heraus, sodaß das Bett gerollt werden kann. Wenn die Trägerstützen nach oben ausgefahren werden, gelangen die Fußrollen außer Eingriff, und das Bett steht fest und sicher auf den Fußstützen. Durch weiteres Ausfahren der Trägerstützen kann die Höhe des Bettes weiter verstellt werden. Die Standfläche der Fußstützen ist verhältnismäßig groß, da die Fußstützen die Trägerstützen einschließlich der Fußrollen ummanteln. Trägerstützen und Fußstützen sind ummantelt ineinandergeführt.The support brackets can be longer than the footrests, so that the casters protrude a small amount from the footrest on the standing surface when the support brackets are retracted. When the support brackets are fully retracted into the footrests, the casters protrude below out of the footrests so that the bed can be rolled. When the support brackets are extended, the casters disengage and the bed stands firmly and securely on the foot supports. The height of the bed can be adjusted further by extending the support supports. The footrest has a relatively large footprint, since the footrests encase the support supports including the castors. Beam supports and footrests are encased in one another.

Vorzugsweise ist für das Aus- und Einfahren aller Trägerstützen nur eine zentrale Antriebsquelle, vorzugsweise ein Elektromotor mit Antriebswellen und Ritzeln, vorgesehen. Die Antriebswellen können aus einer Hauptlängswelle und Querwellen zum Antrieb der Ritzel bestehen. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Antriebswelle durch eine Hydraulikpumpe mit einzelnen zugeordneten Hubkolben zu bilden, ohne daß dadurch der Grundgedanke der Erfindung verlassen wird.Preferably, only one central drive source, preferably an electric motor with drive shafts and pinions, is provided for extending and retracting all of the support posts. The drive shafts can consist of a main longitudinal shaft and transverse shafts for driving the pinion. However, it is also possible to form the drive shaft by means of a hydraulic pump with individually assigned reciprocating pistons without thereby departing from the basic idea of the invention.

Die Trägerstützen können mit Befestigungs- und Trägerköpfen ausgerüstet sein, die zur Verbindung mit dem Bettrahmen und zum Abstützen auf dem Hubgestell dienen. Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung sind die unteren Fußteile der Eckholme des Bettrahmens so ausgeführt und gestaltet, daß sie unmittelbar auf die Trägerköpfe der Trägerstützen aufgesetzt und mit diesen verbunden werden. Hierbei wird die Unterfläche der Füße der Eckholme und die Oberfläche der Trägerköpfeso gestaltet, daß diese miteinander korrespondieren und ineinander eingreifen.The support supports can be equipped with fastening and support heads, which are used for connection to the bed frame and for support on the lifting frame. According to a further advantageous development, the lower foot parts of the corner posts of the bed frame are designed and designed such that they are placed directly on the support heads of the support supports and connected to them. Here, the lower surface of the feet of the corner posts and the surface of the support heads are designed so that they correspond to one another and engage in one another.

Die Höhe der Längsteile des Bettrahmens kann so gestaltet sein, daß diese Längsteile etwa die gleiche Höhe der Längsteile des Hubgestelles erhalten. Daraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß diese Längsteile des Bettrahmens gleichzeitig als Sichtblende für den Oberteil des Hubgestelles dienen.The height of the longitudinal parts of the bed frame can be designed so that these longitudinal parts receive approximately the same height of the longitudinal parts of the lifting frame. This has the advantage that these longitudinal parts of the bed frame also serve as a screen for the upper part of the lifting frame.

Die zentrale Antriebsquelle für die gemeinsame Betätigung und Beaufschlagung aller verstellbaren Trägerstützen kann für eine Einzelbetätigung oder paarweise Betätigung oder Gesamtbetätigung eingerichtet werden, beispielsweise durch die Anordnung von Differenzialsperren oder Ausgleichskolben.The central drive source for the joint actuation and loading of all adjustable support supports can be for one Single actuation or pair actuation or total actuation can be set up, for example by arranging differential locks or compensating pistons.

Vorzugsweise ist an den seitlichen Längsteilen des Hubgestelles eine Sicherheitsabdeckung für die zentrale Antriebsquelle und/oder zumindest Teile der Antriebswellen angeordnet. Dies ist insbesondere aus Sicherheitsgründen empfehlenswert. Die Sicherheitsabdeckung kann die Form eines Bleches aufweisen. Vorteilhaft wird die Sicherheitsabdeckung an den seitlichen Längsteilen des Hubgestelles angebracht.A safety cover for the central drive source and / or at least parts of the drive shafts is preferably arranged on the lateral longitudinal parts of the lifting frame. This is particularly recommended for security reasons. The safety cover can be in the form of a sheet. The safety cover is advantageously attached to the side longitudinal parts of the lifting frame.

Die Fußrollen können so gelagert sein, daß sie sich sowohl um die Längsachse der jeweiligen Trägerstütze als auch um die eigene Rollenquerachse drehen und eine Schwenkbewegung ausführen können. Die Rollen sind also vorzugsweise derart gelagert, daß sie in zwei verschiedenen Ebenen Bewegungen ausführen können.The castors can be mounted in such a way that they can rotate both about the longitudinal axis of the respective support and also about their own transverse axis and can perform a pivoting movement. The rollers are therefore preferably mounted such that they can perform movements in two different levels.

Die Fußstützen können zumindest teilweise als Wangen ausgebildet sein.The footrests can at least partially be designed as cheeks.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Bett und dessen vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen wird eine ansprechende Gesamtansicht des Bettes erzielt.An attractive overall view of the bed is achieved by the bed according to the invention and its advantageous developments.

Die Trägerstützen 3 sind mit Zahnleisten 9 ausgerüstet, in weiche die Antriebsritzel 10 eingreifen. An den Trägerstützen 3 sind Trägerköpfe 31 angebracht, die zur Befestigung des Bettrahmens 1 und zum Abstützen für oder an dem Hubgestell 21 dienen. Die Trägerköpfe 31 begrenzen also die Bewegung der Trägerstützen 3 nach unten, indem sie an den oberen Enden der Fußstützen 5 zur Auflage kommen.The lifting frame 21 has transverse and longitudinal parts of a frame, in which footrests 5 are arranged at all four corners, which have a box or tubular cross section. In the footrests 5 extendable support supports 3, which are connected to the bed frame 1, are guided telescopically. The carrier supports 3 are equipped with toothed racks 9 into which the drive pinions 10 engage. Carrier heads 31 are attached to the carrier supports 3 and serve to fasten the bed frame 1 and to support for or on the lifting frame 21. The support heads 31 thus limit the movement of the support supports 3 downwards by coming to rest on the upper ends of the foot supports 5.

Am Fuß jeder Trägerstutze 3 ist eine bewegbare und drehbare Fußrolle 6 gelagert. Jede Fußrolle 6 ist sowohl um die Längsachse der jeweiligen Trägerstütze 3 als auch um die Rollenquerachse schwenkbar und drehbar gelagert. Die Fußstützen 5 sind an ihrem unteren Standrand mit einer druck- und rutschfesten Ringauflage 11 aus Gummi oder Kunststoff versehen.At the foot of each support 3, a movable and rotatable castor 6 is mounted. Each castor 6 is both about the longitudinal axis of the respective support 3 and about the transverse roller axis pivoted and rotatable. The footrests 5 are provided on their lower edge with a pressure and non-slip ring support 11 made of rubber or plastic.

Nach einer besonderen, in den Zeichnungen nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform können die Füße der Eckholme 2 so gestaltet werden, daß sie zum unmittelbaren Aufsetzen und/oder zur Verbindung mit den Trägerköpfen 31 der Trägerstützen 3 geeignet sind.According to a special embodiment, not shown in the drawings, the feet of the corner spars 2 can be designed in such a way that they are suitable for direct attachment and / or for connection to the support heads 31 of the support supports 3.

Die Höhe der Fußstützen 5 ist etwa gleich der bequemen Sitz- und Einstiegshöhe des Bettkörpers. Die Trägerstützen 3 sind länger als die Fußstützen 5, so daß die Fußrollen 6 bei der in der Fig. 2 gezeigten eingefahrenen Tiefstellung der Trägerstützen um ein geringes Maß aus der Fußstütze 5 an der Standfläche nach unten vorstehen; in dieser Stellung kann das Bett gerollt werden.The height of the footrests 5 is approximately equal to the comfortable seat and entry height of the bed body. The carrier supports 3 are longer than the footrests 5, so that the casters 6 protrude a small amount from the footrest 5 on the standing surface in the retracted lower position of the support supports shown in FIG. 2; in this position the bed can be rolled.

Für das Aus- und Einfahren aller Trägerstützen 3 ist nur eine zentrale Antriebsquelle vorgesehen, nämlich ein Elektromotor 8. Dieser treibt die Trägerstützen über Antriebswellen 4 und Ritzel 10 an. Der Elektromotor 8 ist zusammen mit den Antriebswellen 4 im Rahmen des Hubgestells 21 gelagert. Durch die aus Fig. 2 ersichtlichen Querwellen werden die Antriebsritzel 10 betätigt. In der Fig. 1 ist zu erkennen, daß die teleskopartig in den Fußstützen 5 geführten Trägerstützen 3 nach oben hin ausgefahren werden und dadurch der Bettrahmen 1 angehoben wird. Bei dieser Bewegung heben die Fußrollen 6 vom Boden ab, so daß das Bett dann auf den Fußstutzen 5 stabil steht.Only one central drive source is provided for the extension and retraction of all support supports 3, namely an electric motor 8. This drives the support supports via drive shafts 4 and pinions 10. The electric motor 8 is mounted together with the drive shafts 4 in the frame of the lifting frame 21. The drive pinions 10 are actuated by the transverse shafts shown in FIG. 2. In Fig. 1 it can be seen that the support supports 3 telescopically guided in the footrests 5 are extended upwards and the bed frame 1 is thereby raised. During this movement, the casters 6 lift off the floor, so that the bed is then stable on the foot support 5.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen wird der Elektromotor 8 durch eine Sicherheitsabdeckung 7 in Form eines Bleches oder dergleichen abgedeckt.For safety reasons, the electric motor 8 is covered by a safety cover 7 in the form of a sheet or the like.

Aus der Darstellung der Fig. 2 ist zu erkennen, daß bei eingefahrenen Trägerstützen 3 die Fußstützen 5 als Führung für die Trägerstützen dienen und die Rollen 6 im Fußbereich der Fußstützen 5 um ein geringes Maß vorstehen, derart, daß das Bett auf den Rollen 6 gefahren oder verschwenkt werden kann.From the illustration in FIG. 2 it can be seen that when the support supports 3 are retracted, the foot supports 5 serve as a guide for the support supports and the rollers 6 protrude by a small amount in the foot region of the foot supports 5 such that the bed is driven on the rollers 6 or can be pivoted.

Die Darstellung der Fig. 1 zeigt, daß die Fußrollen 6 bei den hochgefahrenen Trägerstützen 3 in die Fußstützen 5 einfahren und diese Fußstützen 5 dann als starre und sichere Standbeine dienen. Die Fußstützen 5 sind an dem unteren Standrand ihres Rohrkörpers mit druck- und rutschfesten Ringauflagen 11 aus Gummi oder Kunststoff versehen.The illustration in FIG. 1 shows that the casters 6 move into the footrests 5 when the support brackets 3 are raised and these footrests 5 then serve as rigid and secure pillars. The footrests 5 are provided on the lower edge of their tubular body with pressure and non-slip ring supports 11 made of rubber or plastic.

Die Höhe der Längsteile des Bettrahmens 1 ist etwa gleich der Höhe der Längsteile des Hubgestells 21, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, sodaß diese Längsteile des Bettrahmens 1 die Längsteile des Hubgestelles 21 als Sichtblende abdecken.The height of the longitudinal parts of the bed frame 1 is approximately equal to the height of the longitudinal parts of the lifting frame 21, as can be seen in FIG. 2, so that these longitudinal parts of the bed frame 1 cover the longitudinal parts of the lifting frame 21 as a screen.

Bei ausgefahrenen Trägerstützen steht der Bettkörper rutschfest und sicher auf den Fußstützen, die die Trägerstützen umgeben. Dies ist nicht nur aus Sicherheitsgründen von Bedeutung, sondern auch dann vorteilhaft, wenn das Pflegepersonal aufbettet. Hierdurch wird nämlich verhindert, daß beim Anlehnen oder Drücken des Pflegepersonals am Bettkörper eine ungewollte Verschiebung des Pflegebettes erfolgt. In der ausgefahrenen Stellung der Trägerstützen steht das Bett stabil auf den Fußstützen. In dieser Stellung ist die Höhe des Bettes größer als in der eingefahrenen Stellung der Trägerstützen, in der das Bett gerollt werden kann. Es werden also genau die gewünschten Höhenverhältnisse erreicht: Beim stabilen Stand des Bettes ist dieses relativ hoch, sodaß die Patienten vom Pflegepersonal einfach gepflegt werden können. Beim Rollen liegt das Bett tiefer, sodaß es einfach manövriert werden kann. Trägerstützen und Fußstützen sind ineinander geführt, die Rollen sind also geschützt und abgesichert in der Fußstütze untergebracht. Hierdurch wird das Aussehen des Bettes verbessert. Weiterhin werden die Rollen vor äußeren Einflüssen und insbesondere vor Verschmutzungen geschützt. Die Rollen sind durch die Fußstützen, die die Trägerstützen wie ein Außenrohr umgeben, verkleidet.When the support brackets are extended, the bed body stands securely on the footrests that surround the support brackets. This is not only important for safety reasons, but is also advantageous if the nursing staff provides additional beds. This prevents namely that the nursing bed leans against the bed body when the nursing staff leans or presses against it. When the support supports are in the extended position, the bed is stable on the footrests. In this position the height of the bed is greater than in the retracted position of the support supports in which the bed can be rolled. Exactly the desired height ratios are achieved: when the bed is stable, it is relatively high, so that the nursing staff can easily care for the patients. When rolling, the bed is lower so that it can be easily maneuvered. Beam supports and footrests are guided into each other, so the castors are protected and secured in the footrest. This will improve the look of the bed. Furthermore, the roles are exposed to external influences and especially protected from contamination. The roles are covered by the footrests, which surround the carrier supports like an outer tube.

Die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen eine Abwandlung, bei der gleiche Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind, so daß sie nicht erneut beschrieben werden müssen. Der Bettrahmen 1 besitzt Seitenteile 31, die in der Höhe verstellbar sind. Die Enden der Seitenteile 31 sind in den Eckholmen 2 verschiebbar gelagert.3 and 4 show a modification in which the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals, so that they do not have to be described again. The bed frame 1 has side parts 31 which are adjustable in height. The ends of the side parts 31 are slidably mounted in the corner spars 2.

In der Fig. 3 sind die Trägerstützen 3 in die Fußstützen 5 eingefahren. In der Fig. 4 sind die Trägerstützen 3 aus den Fußstützen 5 ausgefahren und daher teilweise sichtbar. Bei eingefahrenen Trägerstützen 3 (Fig. 3) ragen die Fußrollen 6 unten aus den Fußstützen 5 heraus; das Bett kann gerollt werden. Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, setzen sich die Trägerstützen 3 nach oben in den Eckholmen 2 fort. Die Trägerstützen 3 sind also die unteren Teile bzw. Fortsetzungen der Eckholme 2. Diese Lösung ist besonders platzsparend und formschön.In Fig. 3, the support supports 3 are retracted into the footrests 5. 4, the support supports 3 are extended from the foot supports 5 and are therefore partially visible. When the carrier supports 3 are retracted (FIG. 3), the casters 6 protrude from the bottom of the foot supports 5; the bed can be rolled. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the support supports 3 continue upwards in the corner spars 2. The support supports 3 are therefore the lower parts or continuations of the corner spars 2. This solution is particularly space-saving and elegant.

Das in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigte Bett besitzt einen elektrisch verstellbaren, viergeteilten Gliederrahmen aus Aluminiumprofilen mit integrierter Nackenstütze und eine elektrische Höhenverstellung. Das Bett ist in seiner niedrigsten Stellung (Fig. 3) fahrbar durch Rollen, die in dieser Stellung nach unten aus den Fußstützen 5 herausragen und die in der Stellung gemäß Fig. 4 verdeckt sind. Die Standfestigkeit wird in dieser Stellung gemäß Fig. 4 durch Kunststoff-Ringauflagen erhöht.The bed shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has an electrically adjustable, four-part link frame made of aluminum profiles with an integrated neck support and an electrical height adjustment. In its lowest position (FIG. 3), the bed can be moved by rollers which in this position protrude downward from the footrests 5 and which are covered in the position according to FIG. 4. The stability is increased in this position according to FIG. 4 by plastic ring supports.

Die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen eine Variante mit einer Wangenkonstruktion. Die Fußstützen sind zumindest teilweise als Wangen 41 ausgebildet. Jeweils zwei Fußstützen an einer Schmalseite werden durch eine Wange 41 miteinander verbunden. In der in Fig. 5 gezeigten, ausgefahrenen Stellung ragen die Trägerstützen 3 nach oben aus den Wangen 41 heraus. In der eingefahrenen Stellung nach Fig. 6 sind die Trägerstützen 3 vollständig in die als Wan gen 41 ausgebildeten Fußstützen eingefahren. Die Rollen 6 ragen unten aus den Wangen 41 heraus.5 and 6 show a variant with a cheek construction. The footrests are at least partially designed as cheeks 41. Two footrests on one narrow side are connected to each other by a cheek 41. In the extended position shown in FIG. 5, the support supports 3 protrude upward out of the cheeks 41. 6, the support supports 3 are completely in the as Wan retracted against 41 trained footrests. The rollers 6 protrude below the cheeks 41.
