Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for inserting into a bathtub or the like as an entry and exit aid.
  • Such devices are helpful or essential for the elderly or frail. They enable safe and convenient entry and exit into a bathtub, tub or the like.
  • the basic construction always has a seat plate.
  • the seat plate is generally carried by a scissor-type frame, the scissor levers of which are adjustable and thus cause a change in the height of the seat plate.
  • the drive can be electromotive or pneumatic or consist of utilizing the water pressure of the municipal water network.
  • the invention has for its object to increase safety and ease of use, but to reduce the weight.
  • a very decisive advantage resulting from the invention is that it is possible to mount the motor on the backrest, even in the upper area, so that it is as far away from the level of water in the bath as possible.
  • Figure 1 shows a seat device in a side view.
  • the seat plate 1 and a base plate 2 can be seen there. These two are connected to one another by means of a scissor-type frame 3.
  • a scissor-type frame 3 In the front area on the top of the seat plate there are two pushbuttons with which the user can control the opening and closing.
  • An essential element is a backrest unit 5, which comprises several individual parts.
  • the unit 5 has a backrest 6, which can be constructed similarly to the seat plate 1.
  • FIG. 2 is a rear view of the seat assembly in a usable condition.
  • the guide shaft 6.1 merges into a further shaft 6.2, whereby these two shafts together have at least approximately the shape of a walking stick.
  • a rack 8 This is made up of a plurality of rack segments 8.1.
  • the tooth segments 8.1 are connected to one another in an articulated manner. They run on the one hand in the guide shaft 6.1, and on the other hand in the shaft 6.2, which is referred to below as the "rack shaft”.
  • FIG 5 is an enlarged partial view of the object of Figure 2. This figure reveals details of the structure of the rack 8. As can be seen, a pinion 12 is provided, the teeth of which mesh with the teeth of the rack segments 8.1. In this way, the rack 8 is slidably displaceable in the guide shaft 6.1 and in the rack shaft 6.2 and can follow the channel curvature in the upper region of the unit 5.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the seat device with the scissor frame 3 folded.
  • the seat plate 1 and base plate 2 are as close to one another as the construction allows.
  • the rack 8 is now completely in the rack shaft 6.2, and the support 9 is completely in the guide shaft 6.1.
  • the seat device works as follows: If the seat device is in the state shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and the pinion 12 is driven by the geared motor 11 in the counterclockwise direction, the rack 8 is set in motion in such a way that its right end in FIG. 4 is pressed down. Because of the connection between rack 8 and support 9, support 9 is also pressed down. A pressure is exerted against the base plate 2 so that the backrest unit 5 and thus also the seat plate 1 firmly connected to it is raised. This continues until the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is reached.
  • the geared motor 11 is driven in the opposite direction, so that the pinion 12 rotates clockwise.
  • Rack 8 is thus pushed more and more into the rack shaft 6.1, and support 9 disappears more and more into the guide shaft 6.1.
  • the backrest unit 5 can be folded down, so that the state shown in FIG. 6 is reached. So that the seat device is folded into a relatively small and handy package. With a correspondingly low weight, the device can be easily transported. This can be important if, for example, disabled or elderly people travel.
  • the necessary safety when operating the seat device is also taken care of.
  • Special structural measures initially ensure that the support 9 remains exactly and reliably in the position it is supposed to have when entering or exiting when extending and retracting. The angle at which it is in relation to the base plate 2 in the states according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 is thus observed. How this is carried out is illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • a slide 10.1 is slidably guided in this.
  • Slider 10.1 has an elongated hole through which a locking pin 10.3 inserted into the detent bracket 10 extends.
  • Slider 10.1 has an axial bore which contains a tension spring 10.2.
  • Slider 10.1 has an elbow at its front end.
  • wedge 1.1 also moves away from the contra-angle of the slide 10.1.
  • the two abutment surfaces mentioned thus come out of engagement.
  • the spring 10.2 can act at this moment. It is attached with its rear end to the stop pin 10 and with its front end to slide 10.1. It causes slide 10.1 to engage with its rear end in the bore in the foot of support 9. So that support 9 is secured against slipping or moving. This fuse lasts during the entire adjustment process and of course also when the seat plate 1 is extended.
  • FIG. 8 shows the seat device in a side view similar to the illustration according to FIG. 1, but greatly enlarged and without the rack 8 with support 9.
  • the seat plate 1 the articulated bracket 7, to which the backrest unit 5 is articulated by means of the articulated axis 7.1 , the guide shaft 6.1 for receiving the support, not shown here, and finally the base plate 2.
  • the decisive components are a rocker arm 30, which can be tilted about an articulation axis 30.1, which is arranged on the guide shaft 6.1, and also a pawl 31, which can be pivoted about an articulation axis 31.3. It is supported there by a bearing block 32.
  • Other important components are a tension spring 33, a compression spring 34 and a release pin 35.
  • rocker arm 30 and pawl 31 work together in such a way that they can snap together.
  • the backrest unit 5 can be folded forward so that the state shown in FIG. 6 is reached. The latter is desirable when the seat plate 1 and base plate 2 are brought closer together. This release takes place inevitably when the seat plate 1 and the base plate 2 approach each other, specifically in that the front part of the pawl 34 strikes the release pin 35.
  • the backrest safety device according to FIG. 8 can also be used independently of the main idea of the invention with a toothed rack and support.
  • FIG. 9, 10 and 11 show a further embodiment of the invention.
  • the basic idea is retained here. This is because a support 9 is again provided, which causes a change in the distance between the seat plate 1 and the base plate 2, and thus the moving apart or moving together of the scissors-type frame 3.
  • a geared motor 11 is again provided, which sits on a motor console 22 and which a pinion 12 drives. If the pinion 12 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 9, it migrates downward along the support 9 and thus takes the seat plate 1 with the backrest 6 along, the scissor-type frame 3 being folded up.
  • the articulated rack with the rack shaft is missing here.
  • the support 9 is itself designed as a rack.
  • a guide shaft is also missing.
  • FIG. 12 shows the extended state with the seat plate 1 at the maximum height
  • FIG. 3 shows the retracted state in which the seat plate 1 and base plate 2 are as close as possible to one another
  • FIG. 14 shows the folded state, ready for transport.
