Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bathing aid with a telescopically lowerable, retractable seat that can be swung out of the bathtub.
  • a bathing aid is known from EP-A-0 380 621, in which a seat attached to it can be hydraulically lowered and opened onto a frame that can be inserted into the bath tub and has hydraulic cylinders that protrude backwards.
  • Such a seat makes it considerably easier for disabled people to take a full bath, especially since this seat can be lowered to the bottom of the bathtub. For severely handicapped people, especially paraplegics, it is impossible to get onto the seat from the wheelchair that was driven next to the bathtub without outside help.
  • a bathing aid is already known from GB-A-2120933, in which the hydraulic frame is attached to the head of the bath tub behind the bath tub. With this frame, the seat can be lowered and retracted into the bathtub and the seat can also be swiveled out by 90 °, but then the seat can only be lowered to the edge of the bathtub.
  • this device requires a considerable amount of space and is very elaborately designed and constructed, so that it has not been introduced in practice.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a bathing aid which is simple in construction, requires little space and is designed such that seats of this type can easily be extended and retracted into the bath tub and the seat can also be removed from the bath tub swung out and lowered to the same height as the seat retracted into the bath outside the bath.
  • the invention provides that a column of telescopically movable into one another and only with the tap water pressure actuable hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the side next to the head of the bathtub on the floor and that at the head of the uppermost hydraulic cylinder a crossbar that can be swiveled by at least 90 ° is attached with low friction, at the free end of which the seat is articulated with its backrest.
  • the column of the hydraulic cylinder is supported on the side of the bathtub by a side arm fixed to the lowest, fixed hydraulic cylinder.
  • the head of the uppermost hydraulic cylinder has a total stroke height of at least 1000 mm.
  • a manual valve actuation for lifting, lowering and pivoting the seat is provided on the seat itself.
  • the pressure force of the hydraulic cylinders should be about 150 kg.
  • hydraulic cylinders can practically not be rotated in their guidance, particularly in the case of additional bending loads, it is also advantageous if the traverse is mounted on the head of the uppermost hydraulic cylinder via ball bearings.
  • the crossmember can be pivotally driven by a water motor.
  • the water motor installed in the traverse can act on a pinion that is in operative connection with a ring gear surrounding the uppermost hydraulic cylinder.
  • the ring gear can be provided with stops for limiting the angle of rotation of the crossbar.
  • each hydraulic cylinder in the respective larger hydraulic cylinder is at least three times its diameter.
  • a column 3 made of hydraulic cylinders 5, 6 and 7 is firmly anchored to the floor via a circular base plate 4.
  • the column 3 consists of the lower fixed hydraulic cylinder 5 and two further hydraulic cylinders 6 and 7 which can be moved in them.
  • a horizontally projecting crossmember 9 is pivotally attached via a low-friction bearing 8, not shown in detail .
  • the bath seat 10 is now attached to the free end of this crossmember 9.
  • this bath seat 10 can be lowered from its highest position A via an intermediate position B to the bottom of the bathtub corresponding to position C, the cross member 9 'being shown in its lowest position.
  • the seat can be opened from its position C into the uppermost position A, the seat 10 then being pivoted 90 ° forwards counterclockwise via the crossmember 9 and the head 8 and then lowered until it reaches its deepest Assumes position D outside the bathtub.
  • the current position of the traverse is identified by the reference number 9 ′′.
  • the total stroke H of the telescopic column 3 should be at least 1000 mm in order to once the seat 10 in to be able to lower its lowest position C or D and, in addition, to enable the seat 10 to be raised to its uppermost position A to such an extent that a pivoting out or in of the seat is also possible with a person sitting on it and with his legs hanging down .
  • the pressure force of the hydraulic cylinders should be about 150 kg.
  • crossbar 9 In order to enable the crossbar 9 to be pivoted easily without additional pressing of the hydraulic cylinders 6 and 7, it is expedient if the crosshead 9 is supported and supported with its rotary head 8 in ball bearing rings (not shown in detail) on the hydraulic cylinder 7. Rotation of the crossmember 9 is possible via a water motor, also not shown, installed in the crossmember 9, the driven pinion of which acts on a ring gear on the hydraulic cylinder 7.
  • a manual actuation valve is provided on a backrest of the seat 10, with which the seat 10 can be raised or lowered and can also be pivoted.
  • stops should also be provided in the rotary head 8 for limiting the angle of rotation of the crossmember.
