Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to ambulator devices for individuals who have lost the use of their legs. More particularly, the invention relates to the design and construction of a prone stander having a mobile frame and an inclinable body support which allows the user to move between vertical or standing position and a forwardly inclined position.
  • the invention provides improvements over the mobile prone stander disclosed in U.S. Patent application serial no. 256,343 filed October 11, 1988, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
  • mobile prone standers have been developed. Generally, these devices comprise a mobile frame having a pair of large drive wheels similar to those seen on conventional wheelchairs. Rather than having a seat for the user, however, the mobile prone stander will include an inclinable body support frame or platform where the user is strapped in a standing position facing the body support frame.
  • the body support frame is able to incline about an axis located relatively near the axis of the main drive wheels so that the user is able to reach the main drive wheels regardless of the position of the support frame.
  • the user is able to move about while in the standing or any other position.
  • Such mobile prone standers are particularly useful for developmentally disabled children who benefit from an increased ability to explore their surroundings, which is unavailable with conventional wheelchairs.
  • the invention is directed to a mobile prone stander with a tilt-in-space positioning chair.
  • the stander includes a mobile frame having first and second ends with casters, or other ground engaging members, at the ends. Drive wheels are mounted at central positions along the mobile frame.
  • a body support frame is tiltably mounted to the mobile frame for movement between a generally upright (or vertical) orientation and a generally prone (or reclined or horizontal) orientation.
  • Front and back are used in this application. Front refers to the end of the prone stander which the user is facing. Therefore the direction front and back may change if the user faces different directions when seated and when standing.
  • the body support frame has a chest support and a waist support mounted to it at first and second positions.
  • the waist support is generally U-shaped. Both the chest and waist supports have a number of cushions to comfortably support the user.
  • a seat is removably mounted to the body support frame at a third position below the waist support in such a manner that the waist support acts as a seat back and as arm rests for the user.
  • the waist support and seat constitute a tilt-in-space positioning chair which is tiltable with the body support between generally upright and reclined positions.
  • the body support frame preferably includes a central support to which the chest support, waist support and seat are mounted.
  • the frame of the seat is preferably made up of two sides pivotally attached to each other to permit opposed clamp plates, carried by the sides of the seat frame, to engage the tiltable central support. This permits the clamp plates to engage and disengage the central support without removing any of the other parts of the chair, such as the waist or chest supports.
  • Novel, self-aligning knee supports can also be mounted to the central support of the body support frame.
  • Eac knee support includes a generally horizontal support post mountable to the central support at a number of different positions.
  • a pivot tube is pivotably mounted to the support post.
  • the position of the pivot tube along the support post i preferably adjusted through the use of rubberized positioning rings mounted to the support post and placed on either side of the pivot tube.
  • Spaced apart, generally vertically oriented knee pad posts are secured to the pivot tube and extend upwardly and downwardly from the pivot tube.
  • Knee pads are removably secured to the knee pad posts at positions above and below the pivot tube. The knee pads are sized and positioned to engage the user's leg above and below the user's knee cap.
  • Outward lateral movement can be restricted by a generally horizontally extending lateral support secured to the pivot tube and positioned to one side of the knee pads.
  • a further aspect of the invention relates to the use of a multiple pivot for the body support frame. Using such a pivot allows the body support frame to both pivot and translate as it moves between upright and reclined orientations. This helps keep the center of gravity of the user centered over the mobile frame for even further stability.
  • Conventional wheelchairs often have leg supports which are positioned directly over the front casters. When the user has relatively short legs this does not cause any problems for achieving the desired 90-90-90 orientation.
  • taller users, with longer legs must often have the leg supports pivoted forward of the front casters. This, of course, ruins the 90-90-90 orientation.
  • the present invention can be made so that the front leg supports extend forwardly of the front casters to permit the desirable 90-90-90 orientation to be maintained even with users having long legs. This is possible without raising the set height because the prone stander is in effect counterweighted toward the back (that is, the direction opposite the direction the user is facing when seated in the positioning seat) of the prone stander. Modifying a conventional wheelchair to so position the leg rests would likely cause the wheelchair to become unstable.
  • One of the main advantages of the invention results from the mounting of a seat to the central support of the body support frame in a manner such that the seat is positioned between the front and rear caster wheels so that the center of gravity of the user is also between the front and rear caster wheels. Doing so helps to stabilize the stander. Mounting the seat to the tiltable central support permits the seat to act as a tilt-in-space positioning chair as it tilts in space at positions between erect or upright and reclined positions.
  • Another advantage of the invention accrues through the use of the waist support as the back support and the armrests when the seat is mounted to the central support. This helps keep the cost of the dual purpose mobile prone stander and positioning chair reasonable by making the seat simpler and less complicated.
  • a further advantage of the invention is the use of movable and replaceable cushions, typically of neoprene, which have appropriately shaped openings which engage spaced apart tubes for both the waist support and the chest support.
  • the size, density, number and positions for the cushions can be varied according to the particular user.
  • appropriately configured knee pads can also be made of neoprene or similar material. This allows the knee pads to be easily removed and replaced according to the requirements of the particular user.
  • FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a mobile prone stander with positioning chair.
  • Fig. 2 is a side schematic view of the stander of Fig. 1 with the seat removed and a user shown in phantom.
  • Fig. 3 is a partially exploded perspective view of the knee support of Fig. 1 showing the knee support mount.
  • Fig. 4A is a perspective view of the seat frame of the seat of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4B is an enlarged exploded perspective view of the spring hinge of Fig. 4A.
  • Fig. 4C is an enlarged partially exploded view of th portion of the seat of Fig. 1 showing the cam lock fasteners.
  • a mobile prone stander with positioning chair 2 is shown to include a mobile frame 4 to which first and second sets of caster wheels 6, 8 are mounted at the first and second ends 10, 12 of elongate frame members 14. Caster wheels 8 are preferably mounted to second ends 12 of frame members 14 so to be extendable from their position of Fig. 1. This permits stander 2 to be safely used with a heavier user than would otherwise be possible.
  • a pair of drive wheels 16 are centrally mounted along frame members 14. In ,the preferred embodiment drive wheels 16 are hand driven; wheels 16 may be motorized as well.
  • Stander 2 also includes a body support frame 18 tiltably mounted to the mobile frame at a pivot 20 as shown schematically in Fig. 2.
  • Body support frame 18 includes a central support 19 which is tilted between upright, generally vertical positions and prone, generally horizontal position through the actuation of a driver 22.
  • Driver 22 is controlled by the user through a remote control 24.
  • Driver 22 uses a Linak Model LA 25 electric linear actuator made by the Linak Company of Denmark. Other means of raising and lowering body support frame 18 can be used as well.
  • Stander 2 also includes a chest support 26, a generally U-shaped waist support 28, knee supports 30 and a foot rest 32 mounted to central support 19.
  • Chest support 26, waist support 28 and foot rest 32 all include straps for holding the user in place, as is conventional.
  • Chest support 26 includes a bracket 34 removably mounted to central support and from which a pair of upper and lower tubes 36 extend horizontally in lateral directions.
  • Chest cushions 38 preferably made of neoprene, are removably mounted to tubes 36 and include pairs of generally C-shaped openings (not shown but similar to openings 69 in knee pads 68 of Fig. 3) configured to engage tubes 36. Cushions 38 are sized and spaced to provide the desired support for the user.
  • Waist support 28 is similar to chest support 26 but is generally U-shaped (to provide lateral support) and has more waist cushions 40 mounted to curved tubes 42 than does chest support 26.
  • Pivot 20 includes pivot blocks 43 configured to mount flush with central support 19 on either side as shown in Fig. 3B.
  • Bearings 44 are partially housed within bores 45 in blocks 43 and within bores formed in frame extensions 46.
  • Knee supports see Fig. 3A, are secured to central support 19 as pivot 20 through the use of a pair of threaded standoffs 47 which pass through appropriately positioned holes 48, 49 formed in bearings 44, pivot blocks 43 and the central web 104 of central support 19 (not shown) .
  • Threaded holes 51 in the ends of standoffs 47 are positioned to be aligned with two of the four through holes 53 formed in a mounting plate 50 of knee support 30. Washer-like spacers 55 between extensions 46 and plates 50 keep plates 50 from binding on bearings 44.
  • Knee support 30 includes a support post 52 extending horizontally away from mounting plate 50 at a position eccentric of through holes 53. This permits support post 52 to be positioned in on of four positions relative to pivot blocks 43 to help accommodate different users.
  • a knee pad assembly 54 including a pivot tube 56, i pivotally mounted to support post 52.
  • Assembly 54 is positioned axially along support post 52 through the use of positioning 0-rings 58, typically of neoprene or a like material. Rings 58 not only position pivot tube 56 along support post 52 but also, due to their frictional characteristics, help to keep knee support 30 in position once placed in position.
  • the O-rings 58 at the outer end of suppor post 52 are kept in place by a disk 60 which itself is secured to the end of support post 52 by a large headed screw 62.
  • rings 58 are captured betwee mounting plate 50 and pivot tube 56.
  • Assembly 54 includes a pair of generally vertically oriented (when body support frame 18 is in the upright orientation) knee pad posts 64 welded or otherwise secured to pivot tube 56. Knee pad posts have neoprene collars 66 mounte to their ends. Knee pads 68, having generally C-shaped openings 69 formed therein, engage collar covered knee pad posts 64 so to mount knee pads 68 to posts 64. Knee pads 68 include an arcuate surface 70 sized and shaped to engage the user's leg above and below the knee cap.
  • knee pad assemblies 54 can be varied according to which holes 48 are aligned with threaded holes 46. Once that is achieved, lateral positioning of knee pad assemblies 54 can be accomplished by removing screws 62 and disks 60 from support posts 52, removing knee pad assembly 54 from the support post and then redistributing rings 58 according to the lateral positions for knee pad assemblies 54 from the support post and then redistributing rings 58 according to the lateral positions for knee pad assemblies 54 which are desired. Lateral support for the user's leg is provided by lateral support tubes 74 which are, in the preferred embodiment, welded to the outermost of posts 64 so to be positioned between knee pads 68 and laterally outwardly of the knee pads.
  • Support tubes 74 are covered with a soft material, such as neoprene, for comfort of the user. Knee supports 30, by virtue of the freedom of pivot tubes 56 to pivot about support posts 52, are self aligning to help accommodate the particular structure of the user's leg.
  • stander 2 is seen to include a seat 78 removably mounted to central support 19 of body support frame 18.
  • Central support 19 includes first and second parallel tubes 80, 82 to which seat 78 clamps.
  • Seat 78 includes a seat frame 84 having two identical sides 86, 88 coupled together by a hinged brace 90.
  • Sides 86, 88 are mirror images of each other and include side members 92, 94 and brace members 96, 98.
  • Hinged brace 90 includes a strong coil spring 89 secured to tube sections 91 by plugs 93. Plugs 93 are friction fit within spring 89 and tube sections 91 to provide a resilient hinge structure.
  • Spring 89 is covered, such as with a material 95 similar to that used as handle grips. Spring 89 biases sides 86, 88 toward the orientation of Fig. 4A.
  • Seat 78 also includes clamp plates 100, 102 to which ends of sides 86, 88 and corresponding underlying ends of brace members 96, 98 are welded or otherwise secured.
  • Clamp plates 100, 102 are configured to engage tube 80 and the web 104 between tubes 80, 82.
  • Clamp plates 100, 102 and web 104 have openings 106, 108 to permit the passage of cam lock fasteners 110 therethrough which lock seat 78 securely to the central support 19 of body support frame 18.
  • Foot rests 112, 114 are adjustably secured to the lower ends 116, 118 of sides 86, 88 to accommodate users with different length legs. As shown in Fig. 1, foot rests 112, 114 extend in front of casters 8. This permits a wide range of adjustment of foot rests 112, 114 without the need to raise seat 78. Thus, users with relatively long legs can use positioning chair 119 while maintaining a low center of gravity, as is desirable. Although foot rests 112, 114 may extend in front of casters 8 in the preferred embodiment, seat 78, being mounted to central support 19, keeps the center of gravity of the user well between casters 8, 10 and thus keeps the apparatus stable.
  • waist support 28 serves a dual function as both a waist support when stander 2 is used as a mobile prone stander (as i Fig. 2) and also as the back and arm rests of a positioning chair when the stander is used in that manner (as in Fig. 1) .
  • stander 2 will first be described without seat 78.
  • the appropriate height of chest support 26, waist support 28 and, when needed, knee supports 30 are adjusted.
  • Positioning rings 58 of knee support 30 may be repositioned on either side of knee pad assemblies 54 according to the proper position desired.
  • mounting plate 48 may be repositioned relative to threaded holes 46 according to the position which is desired for knee support 30.
  • the proper shape and size of knee pads, according to the size and weight of the user, are selected for use with knee support 30.
  • the user mounts stander 2 is strapped in for safety, and has any final adjustments made to the stander. The user then moves about using drive wheels 16 and adjusts the angle of incline using remote control 24.
  • Cushions 130 have two holes 134 sized and positioned- to pass over neoprene-covered tubes 136 and having a slit 138 connecting the holes. Slit 138 permits strap 140 and spacer bar 142 to pass through cushions 130 as the cushions are mounted onto tubes 136.
  • FIG. 6 In the embodiment of Figs. 1-5 central support 19 pivots about a fixed pivot 20. If desired the invention could use a multiple pivot assembly 150 as shown in Fig. 6.
  • Multiple pivot assembly 150 includes a linear actuator 152 pivotally mounted to a frame member 154 at a pivot 156.
  • Actuator 152 includes an extendable end 158 pivotally secured to a bracket 160, the bracket being rigidly mounted to central support 19.
  • Pivot assembly 150 also includes a pair of levers 162 pivotably secured to frame member 154 at central pivots 164. The outer ends 166 of levers 162 are pivotally secured to central support 19 at a fixed position pivot point 168. Pivot point 168 and bracket 160 are fixed relative to central support 19 and are spaced apart from one another.
  • levers 162 The inner ends 170 of levers 162 are secured to a counterbalancing element 172. Elements 172 tend to pivot levers 162 from the dashed line position of Fig. 6 to the solid line positions ⁇ f Fig. 6. That is, counterbalancing elements 172, which may include compression springs, store the energy from lowering support column 19.
  • Multiple pivot assembly 150 causes support column 19 to both pivot and translate in space as the column 19 moves between upright and reclined position. This movement causes the user to stay more centered over mobile frame 4 for added stability.
  • low friction guide blocks could be used.
  • the number, size and spacings of chest and waist cushions 38, 40 could be changed according to the requirements of the particular user.
  • seat 78 could be more or less permanently mounted to central support 19 in a manner which would permit seat 78 to be pivoted about support 19 and folded against support 19 when not in use.
