Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices for transporting patients or people with reduced mobility, in general, and relates, more particularly, to a device for immobilizing a wheelchair.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device for immobilizing a wheelchair that can adapt to all existing standards.
  • the device for immobilizing a wheelchair is characterized by means for blocking the front and rear of at least one of the wheels of said wheelchair, said blocking means comprising two articulated flaps capable of being positioned one at the front and the other at the rear of said wheel of said wheelchair.
  • An advantage of the immobilizer of a wheelchair of the invention is that the passenger is autonomous in the passenger car.
  • Another advantage of the device for immobilizing a wheelchair of the invention is that the control means are easily maneuverable.
  • Another advantage of the device for immobilizing a wheelchair of the invention is that the device of the invention does not hamper free movement in the passenger car when it is not in use.
  • Another advantage of the wheelchair immobilization device of the invention is that the device can be operated under the most severe conditions, namely: emergency braking, transverse and longitudinal acceleration.
  • Another advantage of the device for immobilizing a wheelchair of the invention is that the device is in one piece, hence easier assembly.
  • Another advantage of the device for immobilizing a wheelchair of the invention is that the device integrates easily into the environment.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of the immobilizer of a wheelchair according to the invention.
  • the immobilizer of a wheelchair of the invention is capable of being installed in a floor, for example a floor of a passenger car of a rail or road vehicle or even a floor of an airplane or 'a boat.
  • the immobilizer of a wheelchair of the invention is also suitable for operating as an escalator, for example in a private home or in a public or private building.
  • the immobilizer of a wheelchair of the invention consists of mechanical means integrated into the thickness of the floor and control means of these mechanical means also integrated and accessible to the person using the wheelchair.
  • the integrated mechanical means of the immobilizer of a wheelchair of the invention consist of two articulated flaps 2 arranged in a box 1, the assembly being integrated in the thickness of the floor 3 of the vehicle.
  • the two articulated flaps 2 each have a wall 2A movable in rotation relative to the base of the articulated flap concerned.
  • the two articulated flaps 2 have the function of immobilizing the main wheels R of the wheelchair because the movable walls 2A of the two articulated flaps 2 are positioned, respectively, on either side of the main wheels of the wheelchair, the movable walls then forming a Vé.
  • the immobilization of the wheelchair takes place once the wheelchair is put in place between the two articulated flaps and after these two articulated flaps are actuated.
  • the two hinged flaps are flush with the floor while in the operating position (see Figure 2), the two hinged flaps form an obstacle above the floor. sufficient to prevent movement of the wheelchair during maximum acceleration, especially in the event of emergency braking.
  • control means of the integrated mechanical means comprise two push buttons 8, 9 preferably arranged on the upper part of a cover 10 so as to be accessible to the person using the wheelchair.
  • control means of the integrated mechanical means are for example mechanical, electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic means.
  • Locking means 11 for controlling the integrated mechanical means can be used to override the control of the integrated mechanical means when no wheelchair is placed between the two articulated flaps.
  • Authorization to put the wheelchair immobilizer into service is for example carried out using the train service agent's service key.
  • FIG. 3 represents a front view of a preferred embodiment of the means for controlling the articulated flaps.
  • FIG. 3 is supplemented by FIGS. 4 and 5 which are views in partial section of the means for controlling the articulated flaps.
  • the articulated flaps 2 are actuated by means of actuators by means of means for transmitting the force produced by the actuator means.
  • the actuator means consist, for example, of a jack 4.
  • the transmission means are, for example, links 5.
  • the cylinder 4 is for example a pneumatic cylinder.
  • the jack 4 is arranged vertically relative to the floor 3 of the vehicle.
  • the articulated flaps 2 are arranged on either side of the jack 4 and are made integral at one end of the jack by means of the rods 5.
  • Locking of the articulated flaps in the use position is ensured by locking means 6.
  • These locking means 6 have the function of resuming the forces applied to one and / or the other of the articulated flaps when said articulated flaps are in the operating position, mainly when moving the vehicle or during the operation of the escalator.
  • the locking means 6 cooperate with holding means 6A of the locking means 6.
  • Guide means 7, of U-shaped cross section, are arranged parallel to the jack 4.
  • These guide means 7 cooperate with the locking means 6 in that the locking means 6 are such that they slide in the guide means 7 so as to be guided by them until the locking means 6 are held in the holding means 6A.
  • These guide means 7 have the function of taking up the forces applied to one or the other of the articulated flaps 2 during the raising or lowering phase of the articulated flaps.
  • the device for immobilizing an armchair roller of the invention comprises a fixed flap and an articulated flap.
  • the wheelchair is then likely to come into abutment against the fixed shutter, the articulated shutter being integrated into the thickness of the floor.
  • the second articulated flap is then ordered as described above.
  • the main wheels of the wheelchair are immobilized effectively because the fixed wall of the fixed flap and the movable wall of the articulated flap are, respectively, on either side of the main wheels of the wheelchair, the walls then forming a V .
  • the walls of the articulated flaps and of the fixed flap preferably form a V when the flaps are in the position of use. However, this may not be the case.
  • the walls of the flaps can be flat or even convex or concave, for example, made of embossed stainless material so as to be non-slip.
