Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting and carrying device for the care sector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Known lifting and carrying devices of this type are used in hospitals and in the private sector for transferring, lifting and transporting disabled and sick people.
  • the support column is attached to a movable frame in the known devices.
  • the suspension element formed by a belt is guided outside the suspension arm, where it can become soiled and damaged relatively easily.
  • Another disadvantage is that these known devices take up a relatively large amount of space and often cannot be moved far enough to the bed or the like.
  • the facilities require a lot of space and are therefore hardly suitable for use in private areas.
  • bed gallows are also known, which are attached to the sick bed itself and are used to pull up the patients in hospitals and the like.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of this type so that they serve both as a bed gallows and as an aid to lifting and moving for sick and disabled people and can be easily transported with minimal space requirements.
  • the lifting and carrying device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a combination of a bed gallows and a patient lift, which is used for erecting and moving sick and disabled people.
  • the device 1 has a support column 2 with a support arm 3, which are preferably made in one piece and from a tube.
  • the support column 2 merges via an arm piece 3a running obliquely upwards into a horizontal arm piece 3b of the support arm.
  • the arm piece 3b is almost the same length as the arm piece 3a.
  • the support column 2 and the support arm 3 have a round cross section. But they can also have an oval cross-section or be formed by a polygonal tube.
  • a support means 4 is deflected via deflection rollers 5a to 5d, as shown in particular in FIG. 6.
  • the suspension element 4 is preferably a belt strap with a high load-bearing capacity, which is connected to a drive 38 at the lower end. At its other free end 4a there is a triangular one on the suspension element 4 Handle trained holding part 7 attached.
  • the suspension element 4 is guided to the outside in the region of the free end of the suspension arm 3 through a slot S (FIG. 9).
  • the holder 9 has a holder 9a, which is held on the wall 10 with a sliding block 11.
  • the sliding block 11 is attached to the wall at the desired height with screws. It has a trapezoidal cross section and is fastened to the wall in such a way that its wider base lies against the mounted holder 9a.
  • the holder 9a has a dovetail-shaped recess 12 for receiving the sliding block 11, which is provided on one narrow side 13 of the holder, which is approximately rectangular in plan view.
  • the other narrow side 14 is substantially rounded in a semicircle and has a through opening 16 for a locking pin 15.
  • the opening 16 opens into a through opening 17, on the radius of curvature of which the narrow side 14 is adapted.
  • the locking member 22 In the unlocked position shown in FIG. 3, the locking member 22 is retracted so far that it lies outside the locking opening 21 and the support column 2 can be freely rotated relative to the holder 9a.
  • the support column 2 is limited in two positions relative to the holder. In the one position shown in FIG. 3, it strikes the locking member 22 with its bolt-like stop 20. This prevents further clockwise rotation. In the other stop position, the bolt-like stop 19 of the support column 2 also comes into contact with the locking member 22, so that the support column cannot be rotated further counterclockwise.
  • the stops 19 and 20 protrude into an annular groove 23, which is provided at about half the height of the holder 9a on the inner wall thereof.
  • the bracket 8 is formed in the same way as the bracket 9, so that it is not described in detail.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 5 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 in that the lifting and carrying device 1 'is not fastened to a wall but to a stand 25. It has three feet 26 to 28 and a back part 29 to which the support column 2 'is fastened with the brackets 8' and 9 '. As in the embodiment according to FIG. 1, they lie in the upper and lower quarters of the support column 2 '.
  • the brackets 8 'and 9' are attached to a central strut 30 of the back part 29.
  • strut 30 is adjoined by two each with the same acute angle obliquely downwards and outwards extending lateral struts 31 and 32.
  • the feet 26 and 28 which in the exemplary embodiment shown are aligned with one another and can be provided with wheels. Halfway across the feet 26, 28 is the other foot 27, which is perpendicular to them.
  • the strut 30 connects to the feet 26, 28 in the center and in the same width as the foot 27.
  • the sliding blocks, not shown, for connecting the holder to the back part 29 are screwed to the longitudinal strut 30.
  • the three struts 30 to 32 lie in a common vertical plane which runs perpendicular to the foot 27.
  • the device 1 ' can be fastened with a further holder 33 to a back part (not shown) of a hospital bed or the like.
  • This holder is formed by an angle piece, which is fastened with its one horizontal leg 34 to the support column 2 '.
  • the other, vertical leg 35 is T-shaped, the transverse web 36 extending perpendicular to the support column 2 'and parallel to the back part 29.
  • About half the length of the cross piece 36 has a threaded opening (not shown) into which a clamping screw with a handle 37 is screwed.
  • a drive 38' is provided, in which a drum 39 (FIG. 6) is accommodated, on which the suspension element 4 can be wound.
  • the support column 2 according to FIGS. 1 to 4 is supported with its lower free end 40 on the floor 41 of a room, while the free end 40 'of the support column 2' according to FIG. 5 is in an opening (not shown) of the feet 26, 28 protrudes. In both cases, the vertical forces occurring when the device 1, 1 'is loaded are conducted into the subsoil, so that an excessive load on the support column 2, 2' is avoided.
  • the winding drum 39 can be rotated in the desired direction with a motor 42, which is only shown schematically in FIG. 6.
  • the drive 38, 38 ' is preferably releasably attached to the support column 2, 2', so that it can be easily removed if necessary.
  • the suspension means 4 as shown in FIG. 6a, is deflected at a short distance from the free end 43 within the suspension arm 3 via the roller 5d and guided out of it through a slot.
  • the roller 5d in the embodiment according to FIG. 6 is mounted directly at the end 43 'of the support arm 3' and protrudes beyond the end. As a result, a slot in the support arm 3 'for leading out the suspension means 4 is not necessary.
  • a drive 44 is again provided at the lower end of the support column 2 ′′, which controls an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic lifting cylinder 45, which is accommodated in the support column 2 ′′.
  • the suspension element 4 is fastened to the free end 47 of its piston rod 46. By retracting and extending the piston rod 46, the holding part 7 is raised and lowered. Otherwise, the device is of the same design as in the previously described embodiments.
  • the suspension element 4 is deflected around the free piston rod end 47 'and fastened at the end to a connecting piece 48 which is provided on the inner wall of the support column 2' ''.
  • a freely rotatable roller 47a is advantageously mounted on the piston rod end 47 ', so that the suspension element 4 can easily slide over the roller 47a when the piston rod 46' is adjusted. 8 shows, the suspension element 4 on the roller 47a is deflected by approximately 180 °.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that, as a result of the deflection, a large adjustment length of the suspension element 4 is achieved with a small stroke of the piston rod 46 '. Because of the simple deflection, the usable lifting height is doubled compared to the embodiment according to FIG. 7. Otherwise, this embodiment is of the same design as the previously described exemplary embodiments.
  • the patient or the disabled person can hold on the holding part 7.
  • slings and slings such as belts, ropes and straps can also be hung in order to lift or transfer the patient from a bed, chair or the like.
  • Hooks 58 to 60 (FIG. 9) are provided for this purpose.

Since the controls are provided in triplicate, the patient in particular can operate the controls that are most convenient for him. The two buttons 53 and 54 are preferably provided for the nursing staff.
  • the controls 49 to 54 are connected to the drive via a control line 57.
  • the control line 57 is guided near the free end 43 in the support arm 3 and runs protected inside the support column up to the drive.
  • the lifting and carrying device 1 advantageously has, as shown in FIG. 10, a safety device 61 which prevents the holding part 7 from falling down when the carrying means 4 tears.
  • the suspension element 4 is designed as a toothed belt, which is guided via a gear wheel 62 which is freely rotatably mounted in the suspension arm 3.
  • the gear 62 is opposite a freely rotatable locking roller 63, which prevents the suspension element 4 from jumping off the gear 62.
  • the securing roller is mounted on an axis 64 (FIGS. 11, 12) which is fastened in openings of the support arm 3 which are aligned with one another.
  • the gear wheel 62 is provided on its one end face with a toothed control disk 65, which is preferably in one piece with the gear is formed.
  • the gear 62 is seated in a rotationally fixed manner on an axis 66, the ends of which protrude beyond the end faces of the gear are each rotatably mounted in a bearing part 70, 81.
  • a return spring 67 is mounted on the axle end facing away from the control disk 65, one end of which is attached to the axle 66 and the other end of which is attached to the non-rotatable bearing part 70.
  • the return spring 67 loads the gear 62 so that it tries to pull the support means 4 out of the support arm 3. This has the advantage that the suspension element 4 is prestressed in the unloaded state.
  • Axis 66 has a diametrical slot 68 (Fig. 13) for the return spring end.
  • the bearing part 70 has a circular receiving space 72 for the return spring 67 (FIG. 13), the other end of which is suspended in a pin 69 fastened to the bearing part 70.

  • the end face 83 of the bearing part 81 facing the gear 62 has a toothing 81a into which an inertia disk 84 with a toothing 85 can engage.
  • the inertia disc 84 is non-rotatably on the Axis 66 and is provided on its side facing the control disk 65 with control surfaces 86 which cooperate with control surfaces 71 of the control disk 65.
  • the axis 66 is surrounded by a helical compression spring 87, which is supported on the bearing part 81 and presses the inertia disk 84 against the control disk 65. 11, the two disks 65, 84 lie flat against one another with their control surfaces 71, 86.
  • control surfaces 71, 86 form the back surfaces of teeth, which only allow a relative rotation between the control disc 65, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the axis 66, and the inertia disc 84 in one direction of rotation.
  • the gear 62 is rotated at a predetermined rotational speed when the holding part 7 is lowered.
  • the inertia disk 84 is designed with regard to its moment of inertia so that it is carried along by friction (FIG. 11).
  • the toothing 85 of the inertia disk 84 is at a distance from the toothing 81a of the bearing part 81, so that the suspension element 4 can be pulled out of the suspension arm 3 without hindrance.
  • the return spring 67 is relieved during this pull-out process.
  • the toothing 85 of the inertia disc 84 comes into engagement with the toothing 81a of the bearing part 81, so that the inertia disc 84 is locked against rotation in the pulling-out direction of the suspension element 4.
  • the inertia disc 84 is also still in engagement with the control disc 65.
  • the gear 62 is also locked against rotation in the pull-out direction of the suspension element 4.
  • the locking function described runs in the millisecond range, so that the cracked suspension element 4 is reliably prevented from being pulled out. This ensures that the patient is not injured if the suspension element 4 should tear during the operation of the device.
  • the end face 43 of the support arm 3 is closed by a cover 88 (FIG. 10).
  • a cover 88 (FIG. 10).
  • the safety device 61 in the support arm 3 is safely protected.
  • the longitudinal slots 78, 79 in the support arm 3 are closed by the cover 88, so that the bearing parts 70, 81 cannot slip out. They can also be easily assembled because their webs 77, 80 only have to be pushed into the longitudinal slots 78, 79.
  • the safety device 61 described can be used in all the described embodiments of the device.
  • chains can also be used as suspension means 4, for example, which can also be secured with the safety device in the manner described in the event of danger.
  • the lifting and carrying device can be detachably attached to the wall 10 via the brackets 8 and 9.
  • the on the support column 9a attached are only pushed onto the sliding blocks 11 attached to the wall or to the stand.
  • the support column can be removed correspondingly easily.
  • the grooves 11 can easily be attached there at a suitable place where the device is needed.
  • the support column can be easily transported so that it can be used in several places. This means that a facility does not have to be provided at every location.
  • the support column stands on the base 41 or on the stand 25, so that the vertical forces do not have to be absorbed by the sliding blocks 11. Only the much smaller horizontal forces are introduced into them so that the sliding blocks and their attachment are not damaged.
