Definitions
- a carrier device for lifting and / or transporting a person, in particular a patient hoist, with a carrier device which can be pivoted about a vertically extending axis and which in turn has first and second sections of the carrier device on opposite sides of the vertical axis for first and second fastenings for a carrying belt which holds the person, which comprises a region on the foot and an upper body side, one of the sections being pivotable about a horizontally extending axis.
- the support device listed under item number 249 0001 consists of U-shaped tubes, the free ends of which are connected by rigid rods, which in turn form first and second attachments for a carrying belt.
- the tubes, which are bent in a U-shape, are connected to one another in the middle and to a pin, which in turn originates from a boom.
- DE 36 43 612 C2 shows an invalidity lifting device which has a belt suspension device support which extends from a boom, and in turn has one a fork-shaped belt-hanging device that is pivoted about a horizontal axis and is attached to the belt-hanging device support in a rigid one-piece design.
- the belt suspension device support itself is fastened to the boom so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis.
- the freedom of movement of a patient to be lifted or transported can be hindered and, on the other hand, the patient can be shifted in weight to, in particular, the horizontal axis of the belt hanging device to such an extent that handling is more difficult and pivoting of the Belt suspension device itself is hardly possible due to the lever arms that occur.
- EP 0 034 386 B1 describes a device for carrying a person in a seated position, which is rotatable on the one hand about a vertically extending axis and on the other hand has brackets which can be pivoted about a horizontally running axis for fastening a section of a carrying belt on the foot side. Fastening of the carrying belt on the upper body is based on supporting arms which can be pivoted about an axis which is inclined both to the horizontal and to the vertical.
- the sections or brackets are adjusted by hand, so that considerable effort is required, in particular to move a heavy person into the desired position. However, this often only works to a very unsatisfactory extent, so that frequent adjustment is necessary, which can be uncomfortable for the person.
- the present invention is based on the problem of developing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with a structurally simple structure, handling is both simplified and improved in such a way that there is good comfort for the person to be lifted or transported, together with the advantage shows that turning or pivoting of possible patient weight changes remains unaffected.
- the problem is essentially solved in that the first section of the carrier device is stationary with respect to the vertical axis and the other second section can be pivoted about the horizontal axis by means of an electric drive, or the first and the second section independently of one another common horizontal axis or uni-offset horizontal axes can be pivoted by means of an electric drive, the second section preferably being actuatable by the drive via at least one worm gear.
- the vertical axis preferably passes through the intersection of bracket elements of the first section that run symmetrically to a mirror plane.
- the first and / or second section of the carrier device are adjusted independently of one another, as a result of which better adaptation to the person to be lifted or transported and their weight is possible. Because a motorized adjustment of at least one section is possible, operation is also possible for persons who are not particularly strong, it being possible for the carrier device to be aligned very precisely to the location from which the person is to be picked up or set down. It is provided as a self-discovery lesson that the carrier device is rotatably mounted in a receptacle starting from a belt, in particular a ceiling lift, and the vertical axis. Of course, the carrier device can also start from a belt of a floor lifter, the belt, of course, preferably starting from a bent bracket.
- the second section which can pivot the horizontally extending axis, is adjustable via two worm gear transmissions which can be actuated by the electric drive. Since the two worm wheel gears are connected in series, an extremely precise setting is possible without the electric drive having to be oversized.
- a further development of the invention provides that the electrical supply takes place from the outside via slip rings, from which connections run within a shaft that forms the vertical axis. The connections are then led to the motor.
- the shaft is rotatably fastened in the end region of an arched arm.
- the curved shape of the boom results in a large clear distance between the person to be transported and the boom itself, so that the required headroom is given.
- the shaft can be mounted in a sleeve-like receptacle, which is connected to the belt of a ceiling lift via a holder.

Abstract
Description
Vorrichtung zum Heben und/oder Transportieren einer Person, insbesondere Patientenlifter, mit einer um eine vertikal verlaufende Achse verschwenkbaren Trägereinrichtung, die ihrerseits auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der vertikalen Achse erste und zweite Abschnitte der Trägereinrichtung für erste und zweite Befestigungen für einen die Person aufnehmenden Traggurt aufweist, der einen fuß- und einen oberkörperseitigen Bereich umfaßt, wobei einer der Abschnitte um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbar ist.Device for lifting and / or transporting a person, in particular a patient hoist, with a carrier device which can be pivoted about a vertically extending axis and which in turn has first and second sections of the carrier device on opposite sides of the vertical axis for first and second fastenings for a carrying belt which holds the person, which comprises a region on the foot and an upper body side, one of the sections being pivotable about a horizontally extending axis.
Ein entsprechender Bodenlifter ist dem Prospekt Meyra, Rollstühle und Rehabilitationsmittel, August 1984, zu entnehmen. Dabei besteht die unter der Artikel-Nummer 249 0001 aufgeführte Trageinrichtung aus U-förmig gebogenen Rohren, deren freie Enden über starre Stangen verbunden sind, die ihrerseits erste und zweite Befestigungen für einen Traggurt bilden. Die U-förmig gebogenen Rohre sind mittig miteinander und mit einem Zapfen verbunden, der seinerseits von einem Ausleger ausgeht.A corresponding floor lift can be found in the brochure Meyra, wheelchairs and rehabilitation aids, August 1984. The support device listed under item number 249 0001 consists of U-shaped tubes, the free ends of which are connected by rigid rods, which in turn form first and second attachments for a carrying belt. The tubes, which are bent in a U-shape, are connected to one another in the middle and to a pin, which in turn originates from a boom.
Der DE 36 43 612 C2 ist eine Invalidenhebeeinrichtung zu entnehmen, die eine von einem Ausleger ausgehende Gurthängeeinrichtungsstütze aufweist, von der seinerseits einteilig starr ausgebildet eine gabelförmige Gurthängeeinrichtung ausgeht, die schwenkbar um eine horizontale Achse an der Gurthängeeinrichtungsstütze angelängt ist. Die Gurthängeeinrichtungsstütze selbst ist um eine vertikal verlaufende Achse verschwenkbar an dem Ausleger befestigt.DE 36 43 612 C2 shows an invalidity lifting device which has a belt suspension device support which extends from a boom, and in turn has one a fork-shaped belt-hanging device that is pivoted about a horizontal axis and is attached to the belt-hanging device support in a rigid one-piece design. The belt suspension device support itself is fastened to the boom so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis.
Durch die Gabelform der Gurthängeeinrichtung und deren einteilige starre Ausbildung bedingt kann einerseits die Bewegungsfreiheit eines anzuhebenden bzw. zu transportierenden Patienten behindert werden und andererseits eine Gewichtsverlagerung des Patienten zu insbesondere der horizontalen Achse der Gurthängeeinrichtung in einem Umfang erfolgen, daß eine Handhabung erschwert und ein Verschwenken der Gurthängeeinrichtung selbst aufgrund der auftretenden Hebelarme kaum mehr möglich ist.Due to the fork shape of the belt hanging device and its one-piece rigid design, on the one hand, the freedom of movement of a patient to be lifted or transported can be hindered and, on the other hand, the patient can be shifted in weight to, in particular, the horizontal axis of the belt hanging device to such an extent that handling is more difficult and pivoting of the Belt suspension device itself is hardly possible due to the lever arms that occur.
Der EP 0 034 386 B1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Tragen einer Person in einer sitzenden Lage beschrieben, die einerseits um eine vertikal verlaufende Achse drehbar ist und andererseits um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse verschwenkbare Halterungen zum Befestigen eines fußseitigen Abschnitts eines Traggurtes aufweist. Oberkörperseitige Befestigungen des Traggurtes gehen von Tragarmen aus, die uni eine sowohl zur Horizontalen als auch zur Vertikalen geneigten Achse verschwenkbar sind. Das Verstellen der Abschnitte bzw. Halterungen erfolgt von Hand, so daß es erheblicher Kraftanstrengung bedarf, insbesondere eine schwere Person in die gewünschte Position zu bewegen. Dies gelingt häufig jedoch nur im recht unbefriedigenden Umfang, so daß ein häufiges Verstellen erforderlich ist, was für die Person unangenehm sein kann.EP 0 034 386 B1 describes a device for carrying a person in a seated position, which is rotatable on the one hand about a vertically extending axis and on the other hand has brackets which can be pivoted about a horizontally running axis for fastening a section of a carrying belt on the foot side. Fastening of the carrying belt on the upper body is based on supporting arms which can be pivoted about an axis which is inclined both to the horizontal and to the vertical. The sections or brackets are adjusted by hand, so that considerable effort is required, in particular to move a heavy person into the desired position. However, this often only works to a very unsatisfactory extent, so that frequent adjustment is necessary, which can be uncomfortable for the person.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, daß bei konstruktiv einfachem Aufbau eine Handhabung sowohl vereinfacht als auch dahingehend verbessert wird, daß sich für die zu hebende bzw. zu transportierende Person ein guter Komfort zusammen mit dem Vorteil ergibt, daß ein Drehen bzw. Verschwenken von möglichen Gewichtsverlagerungen des Patienten unberührt bleibt.The present invention is based on the problem of developing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with a structurally simple structure, handling is both simplified and improved in such a way that there is good comfort for the person to be lifted or transported, together with the advantage shows that turning or pivoting of possible patient weight changes remains unaffected.
Erfindungsgemäß wird das Problem im wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, daß der erste Abschnitt der Trägereinrichtung in bezug auf die vertikal verlaufende Achse ortsunveränderlich und der andere zweite Abschnitt um die horizontal verlaufende Achse mittels eines elektrischen Antriebs schwenkbar ist oder der erste und der zweite Abschnitt unabhängig voneinander um eine gemeinsame horizontale Achse oder uni versetzt zueinander verlaufende horizontale Achsen mittels eines elektrischen Antriebs schwenkbar sind, wobei vorzugsweise der zweite Abschnitt über zumindest ein Schneckenradgetriebe von dem Antrieb betätigbar ist. Dabei durchsetzt die vertikal verlaufende Achse vorzugsweise den Schnittpunkt von symmetrisch zu einer Spiegelebene verlaufenden Bügelelemente des ersten Abschnitts.According to the invention, the problem is essentially solved in that the first section of the carrier device is stationary with respect to the vertical axis and the other second section can be pivoted about the horizontal axis by means of an electric drive, or the first and the second section independently of one another common horizontal axis or uni-offset horizontal axes can be pivoted by means of an electric drive, the second section preferably being actuatable by the drive via at least one worm gear. The vertical axis preferably passes through the intersection of bracket elements of the first section that run symmetrically to a mirror plane.
Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik werden der erste und/oder zweite Abschnitt der Trägereinrichtung unabhängig voneinander verstellt, wodurch eine bessere Anpassung an die zu hebende bzw. zu transportierende Person und deren Gewicht möglich ist. Dadurch, daß ein motorisches Verstellen zumindest eines Abschnitts möglich ist, ist eine Bedienung auch von nicht besonders kräftigen Personen möglich, wobei ein sehr genaues Ausrichten der Trägereinrichtung auf den Ort möglich ist, von dem die Person aufgenommen bzw. abgesetzt werden soll. Dabei ist als eigenerfinderische Lehre vorgesehen, daß die Trägereinrichtung in einer von einem Gurt, insbesondere einem Deckenlifter ausgehenden Aufnahme uni die vertikale Achse drehbar gelagert ist. Selbstverständlich kann die Trägereinrichtung auch von einem Gurt eines Bodenlifters ausgehen, wobei der Gurt sebstverständlich vorzugsweise von einem gebogenen Bügel ausgeht.In contrast to the prior art, the first and / or second section of the carrier device are adjusted independently of one another, as a result of which better adaptation to the person to be lifted or transported and their weight is possible. Because a motorized adjustment of at least one section is possible, operation is also possible for persons who are not particularly strong, it being possible for the carrier device to be aligned very precisely to the location from which the person is to be picked up or set down. It is provided as a self-discovery lesson that the carrier device is rotatably mounted in a receptacle starting from a belt, in particular a ceiling lift, and the vertical axis. Of course, the carrier device can also start from a belt of a floor lifter, the belt, of course, preferably starting from a bent bracket.
Insbesondere und in besonders hervorzuhebender Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der zweite uni die horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbare Abschnitt über zwei von dem elektrischen Antrieb betätigbare Schneckenradgetriebe verstellbar ist. Da die zwei Schneckenradgetriebe hintereinander geschaltet sind, ist eine überaus präzise Einstellung möglich, ohne daß der elektrische Antrieb überdimensioniert sein muß.In particular, and in a particularly noteworthy embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the second section, which can pivot the horizontally extending axis, is adjustable via two worm gear transmissions which can be actuated by the electric drive. Since the two worm wheel gears are connected in series, an extremely precise setting is possible without the electric drive having to be oversized.
Um den elektrischen Antrieb zu versorgen, ohne daß Einschränkungen hinsichtlich der Drehbarkeit um die vertikal verlaufende Achse in Kauf genommen werden müssen, sieht eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung vor, daß die elektrische Versorgung von außen her über Schleifringe erfolgt, von denen aus Anschlüsse innerhalb einer Welle verlaufen, die die vertikal verlaufende Achse bildet. Die Anschlüsse werden sodann zum Motor geführt. Die Welle ist drehbar im Endbereich eines bogenförmig verlaufenden Auslegers befestigt. Durch die Bogenform des Auslegers ergibt sich ein großer lichter Abstand zwischen der zu transportierenden Person und dem Ausleger selbst, so daß die erforderliche Kopffreiheit gegeben ist. Alternativ kann die Welle in einer hülsenartigen Aufnahme gelagert sein, die über eine Halterung mit dem Gurt eines Deckenlifters verbunden ist.In order to supply the electric drive without having to accept restrictions with regard to the rotatability about the vertical axis, a further development of the invention provides that the electrical supply takes place from the outside via slip rings, from which connections run within a shaft that forms the vertical axis. The connections are then led to the motor. The shaft is rotatably fastened in the end region of an arched arm. The curved shape of the boom results in a large clear distance between the person to be transported and the boom itself, so that the required headroom is given. Alternatively, the shaft can be mounted in a sleeve-like receptacle, which is connected to the belt of a ceiling lift via a holder.
Um die Bewegung des schwenkbaren Abschnitts zu begrenzen, können Endschalter vorgesehen sein.In order to limit the movement of the pivotable section, limit switches can be provided.
Um die von der Trägereinrichtung aufzunehmenden Kräfte günstig zu verteilen, ist vorgesehen, daß an den von dem verschwenkbaren zweiten Abschnitt ausgehenden Befestigungen der Traggurt mit seinem fußseitigen Bereich befestigt ist.In order to distribute the forces to be absorbed by the carrier device in a favorable manner, provision is made for the carrying belt with its region on the foot side to be fastened to the fastenings proceeding from the pivotable second section.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der zweite Abschnitt ein geschlossener Bügel vorzugsweise in Rechteckform, von dem ein Seitenschenkel von der vertikalen Achse geschnitten wird. Vom gegenüberliegenden Schenkel geht um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse schwenkbar ein vorzugsweise stab- oder rohrförmiges Trägerelement aus, das im Bereich seines zum Bügel fernliegenden Endes die zweiten Befestigungen aufweist.In a further embodiment of the invention, the second section is a closed bracket, preferably in a rectangular shape, from which a side leg is cut from the vertical axis. A preferably rod-shaped or tubular support element, which has the second fastenings in the region of its end remote from the bracket, is pivotable from the opposite leg about a horizontally extending axis.
Der erste in bezug auf die vertikale Achse vorzugsweise ortsunveränderliche Abschnitt der Trägereinrichtung umfaßt zwei Bügelelemente, wobei jedes Bügelelement eine L-Form mit einem ersten von dem von der vertikalen Achse durchsetzten Gehäuse ausgehenden Schenkel und einem parallel zu der vertikalen Achse verlaufenden zweiten Schenkel aufweist, im Bereich dessen freien Endes jeweils eine der ersten Befestigungen vorgesehen ist. Dabei kann jedes Bügelelement starr ausgebildet sein, wobei die ersten und zweiten Schenkel der Bügelelemente jeweils in einer gemeinsamen Ebene verlaufen.The first section of the carrier device, which is preferably fixed in relation to the vertical axis, comprises two bracket elements, each bracket element having an L-shape with a first leg extending from the housing through which the vertical axis passes and a second leg running parallel to the vertical axis Has leg, in the region of whose free end one of the first fastenings is provided. Each bracket element can be rigid, the first and second legs of the bracket elements each running in a common plane.
Die ersten von der Halterung ausgehenden und vorzugsweise in einer horizontal verlaufenden Ebene sich erstreckenden Schenkel der Bügelelemente können in Richtung ihrer der Halterung fernliegenden Enden divergieren und schließen vorzugsweise einen stumpfen Winkel ein.The first legs of the bracket elements, starting from the holder and preferably extending in a horizontal plane, can diverge in the direction of their ends remote from the holder and preferably form an obtuse angle.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen, den diesen zu entnehmenden Merkmalen - für sich und oder in Kombination-, sondern auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines der Zeichnung zu entnehmenden bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels.Further details, advantages and features of the invention result not only from the claims, the features to be extracted from them - individually or in combination - but also from the following description of a preferred embodiment which can be found in the drawing.

Um den elektrischen Antrieb (20) an eine außenliegende Spannungsquelle anzuschließen, ohne daß die Drehbarkeit der Welle (12) beeinträchtigt wird, werden elektrische Anschlüsse (33), (35) über in der Welle (12) vorhandene Schleifringe (37) und (39) mit dem Motor (20) verbunden.In order to connect the electric drive (20) to an external voltage source without impairing the rotatability of the shaft (12), electrical connections (33), (35) are made via slip rings (37) and (39) present in the shaft (12) ) connected to the motor (20).
Über den Motor (20) und die nachgeschalteten zwei Schneckenradgetriebe (21) und (23) ist der Bügel (22) uni die horizontal verlaufende Achse (24) schwenkbar. Dies wird durch die Pfeile (26) und (28) angedeutet. Der Verlauf der horizontalen Achse (24) ist derart, daß diese benachbart zu der vertikal verlaufenden Achse, die durch die Welle bzw. den Zapfen (12) vorgegeben ist, verläuft. Hierzu ist der Motor (20) auf der Seite der horizontalen Achse (24) angeordnet, die zur vertikalen Achse (14) fernliegt.The bracket (22) and the horizontally extending axis (24) can be pivoted via the motor (20) and the two worm gear transmissions (21) and (23) connected downstream. This is indicated by the arrows (26) and (28). The course of the horizontal axis (24) is such that it runs adjacent to the vertical axis, which is predetermined by the shaft or the pin (12). For this purpose, the motor (20) is arranged on the side of the horizontal axis (24) which is remote from the vertical axis (14).
Der Bügel (22) ist vorzugsweise geschlossen ausgebildet und weist eine Rechteck- wie Quadratform mit abgerundeten Ecken auf. Ein Schenkel (30) des Bügels (22) erstreckt sich dabei entlang der horizontalen Achse (24).The bracket (22) is preferably closed and has a rectangular and square shape with rounded corners. One leg (30) of the bracket (22) extends along the horizontal axis (24).
Von dem Schenkel (30) gehen Seitenschenkel (41) und (43) aus, die in einen parallel zu dem entlang der Achse (24) verlaufenden Schenkel (30) verlaufenden äußeren Schenkel (32) übergehen.Side legs (41) and (43) extend from the leg (30) and merge into an outer leg (32) running parallel to the leg (30) running along the axis (24).
Mittig von dein zu dem Schenkel (30) gegenüberliegenden Außenschenkel (32) geht ein stab- bzw. rohrförmiges Trägerelement (34) aus, welches um eine parallel zu der horizontalen Achse (24) verlaufende Achse (36) gewichtsabhängig verschwenkbar ist (Pfeile (38) und (40)).A rod-shaped or tubular support element (34) extends from the middle of the outer leg (32) opposite the leg (30) and can be pivoted about an axis (36) parallel to the horizontal axis (24) depending on the weight (arrows (38 ) and (40)).
Sofern keine Zwangskräfte auf das Trägerelement (34) einwirken, ist dieses schwerkraftbedingt parallel zur vertikal verlaufenden Achse (14) ausgerichtet.If no constraining forces act on the carrier element (34), it is aligned parallel to the vertical axis (14) due to gravity.
Das Trägerelement (34) weist an seinem der Drehachse (36) fernliegenden Ende Befestigungen (42) für einen nicht dargestellten Traggurt auf, und zwar für dessen fußseitigen Bereich.At its end remote from the axis of rotation (36), the carrier element (34) has fastenings (42) for a carrying belt (not shown), specifically for the region on its foot side.
Verläuft zu einer Seite der vertikalen Achse der Bügel (22), so ist auf der anderen Seite ein Abschnitt der Trägereinrichtung (10) vorhanden, der aus zwei starren und eine L-Form bildenden Bügelelementen (44) und (46) besteht. Jedes Bügelelement umfaßt einen von der Achse (14) ausgehenden horizontal verlaufenden Schenkel (48) bzw. (50), von dem jeweils ein vertikal verlaufender Schenkel (52) in Richtung des Bodens abragt. Am Ende eines jeden vertikal verlaufenden Schenkels (52) ist eine Befestigung (54) für den nicht dargestellten Haltegurt vorhanden. In diesem Bereich wird der Oberkörper einer Person aufgenommen.If the bracket (22) extends to one side of the vertical axis, then on the other side there is a section of the carrier device (10) which consists of two rigid bracket elements (44) and (46) forming an L-shape. Each bracket element comprises a horizontally extending leg (48) or (50) extending from the axis (14), from each of which a vertically extending leg (52) projects in the direction of the floor. At the end of each vertical leg (52) there is a fastening (54) for the tether, not shown. The upper body of a person is recorded in this area.
Sind die Bügelelemente (44) und (46), also jeweils dessen ein L bildender Schenkel (48), (50), (52) als starre Einheit ausgebildet, so können alternativ die vertikal verlaufenden Schenkel jeweils um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar an den horizontal verlaufenden Schenkeln (48) und (50) angelenkt sein.If the stirrup elements (44) and (46), that is to say each of the legs (48), (50), (52) forming an L, are designed as a rigid unit, alternatively the vertically extending legs can each be pivoted about a horizontal axis to the horizontal axis extending legs (48) and (50) be articulated.
Schließlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, die Bügelelemente (44) und (46) unabhängig von dein geschlossenen Bügel (22) mit einem gesonderten elektrischen Antrieb um eine horizontal verlaufende Achse zu verschwenken.Finally, there is also the possibility of pivoting the bracket elements (44) and (46) independently of the closed bracket (22) with a separate electric drive about a horizontal axis.
Wie die Fig. 2 verdeutlicht, kann der bogenförmige Tragarm (11) in gewünschten Positionen mit einem bodenseitigen Rahmen mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung verbunden werden, der auf Rollen abgestützt ist, um die Vorrichtung verschieben zu können.As illustrated in FIG. 2, the arched support arm (11) can be connected in the desired positions with a bottom frame with the device according to the invention, which is supported on rollers in order to be able to move the device.
Der Fig. 4 ist eine besonders hervorzuhebende eigenerfinderische Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre zu entnehmen, wobei für die den Fig. 1 bis 3 entsprechenden Elemente gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet worden sind.FIG. 4 shows a particular inventive design of the teaching according to the invention which should be particularly emphasized, the same reference numerals being used for the elements corresponding to FIGS. 1 to 3.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 4 ist die Trägereinrichtung nicht in einem Ausleger eines Bodenlifters drehbar gelagert, sondern geht- ebenfalls drehbar gelagert-von einem Gurt (46) aus, der mit einer Halterung (48) verbunden ist, von der wiederum eine hülsenartige Aufnahme (50) ausgeht, in der die Welle (12) der Trägereinrichtung (10) drehbar gelagert ist. Der Gurt (46) kann dabei von einem Deckenlifter ausgehen. Auch ein Einsatz bei Bodenliftern ist möglich, die einen von einem Gestell ausgehenden Gurt aufweisen.In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the carrier device is not rotatably mounted in a boom of a floor lifter, but is also rotatably supported by a belt (46) which is connected to a holder (48), from which in turn a sleeve-like receptacle (50) goes out, in which the shaft (12) of the carrier device (10) is rotatably mounted. The belt (46) can start from a ceiling lift. It can also be used with floor lifts that have a belt extending from a frame.
Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, daß die erfindungsgemäße Trägereinrichtung mit gleichem Komfort bei einen Lifter, insbesondere Deckenlifter mit Gurt einsetzbar ist, wobei sich insbesondere das einfache elektrische Verstellen des Bügels (22) zum Ausrichten einer zu transportierenden Person bewährt hat.Surprisingly, it has been shown that the carrier device according to the invention can be used with the same comfort in a lifter, in particular a ceiling lifter with a belt, the simple electrical adjustment of the bracket (22) for aligning a person to be transported having proven particularly useful.
Schließlich wird anhand der Fig. 5 die Funktion der Trägereinrichtung bzw. des Schwenk-Dreh-Bügels (10) verdeutlicht. So ist in zuvor beschriebener Weise von in den Befestigungen des ersten und des zweiten Abschnitts des Schwenk-Dreh-Bügels (10) ein Tragegurt eingehängt, uni eine Person aufzunehmen, deren Position auf einfache Weise durch Betätigung des Elektromotors (20) bzw. durch Drehen des Dreh-Schwenk-Bügels (10) um dessen vertikale Achse veränderbar ist.Finally, the function of the carrier device or of the swivel-rotation bracket (10) is illustrated on the basis of FIG. 5. Thus, in the manner described above, a carrying strap is suspended from the fastenings of the first and second sections of the swivel-rotation bracket (10) in order to take up a person whose position is simple by actuating the electric motor (20) or by rotating the swivel-swivel bracket (10) can be changed about its vertical axis.
Insbesondere vermittelt die Fig. 5 die erfindungsgemäße Lehre, einen Patientenlifter mit einer Trägereinrichtung (10) auszustatten, die einerseits um eine vertikale Achse drehbar und andererseits mit einem Traggurt verbindbare Abschnitte (22), (52) aufweist, die motorisch gegeneinander uni eine horizontale Achse (24) verschwenkbar sind.In particular, FIG. 5 conveys the teaching according to the invention of equipping a patient lifter with a carrier device (10) which, on the one hand, can be rotated about a vertical axis and, on the other hand, has sections (22), (52) which can be connected to a carrying belt and which have a horizontal axis by motor (24) are pivotable.
