Definitions

  • the invention relates to a bedpan with an upper opening.
  • Bedpans especially single bedpans, are known. These are generally made of metal and have a lid. They are needed for those in need of care who can only relieve themselves in bed and not without outside help. As the bedpans are made of metal, they are always perceived as too cold by those in need of care. As a result, those in need of care cramp when using the bedpan. The bowel movement is therefore an annoying must for them.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a bedpan which no longer has this disadvantage.
  • a bedpan with an upper opening in which a heating device is provided for the bedpan.
  • the heating device advantageously has the shape of an upper cover for the bedpan. It thus replaces the actual lid of such a bedpan.
  • the heating device or the cover has a housing in which heating wires or heating elements, which can be set from the outside to a certain temperature by means of temperature setting means, are arranged on the inside. Connection means are for connection to a power supply provided on the housing or the temperature setting means.
  • the housing preferably has such an outer shape that it can be optimally adapted to be inserted into the upper opening of the bedpan. Heat transfer is optimally possible in the area of the superimposed surfaces.
  • At least one grip element is provided on the top of the housing.
  • Means for preventing the cover from slipping in the upper opening of the bedpan are provided on the underside of the housing. These means can be, for example, foot elements, in particular hemispherical foot elements, a circumferential or segmented ring element, pin-shaped elements or a projection on the underside of the lower housing part or the like. If the bedpan is being used, the heating device can then be placed on these holding means, such as foot elements, cantilevers or the like.
  • the housing is preferably made of a solid, heat-resistant material, in particular V2A steel or aluminum.
  • the target temperature For example, it has a diameter of approximately 320 mm and a height of approximately 55 mm. For example, a temperature of 35 ° C. is set as the target temperature. This is then perceived as very pleasant by those in need of care, since this temperature corresponds approximately to the body temperature.
  • the heating device 1 shows a partially sectioned side view of a heating device 1 according to the invention.
  • the heating device 1 has a housing 2.
  • the housing 2 is shown in Fig. 1 as a hollow body.
  • the housing 2 has an upper side 3 and a lower side 4.
  • the bottom 4 is dimensioned smaller than the top 3.
  • the top and bottom are connected to one another by an obliquely arranged circumferential wall 5.
  • a peripheral edge 6 is provided in the area of the upper side 3. An approximately conical component is therefore created in the side view.
  • Holding means 7 are provided on the underside 4 of the housing 2 as hemispherical foot elements.
  • the hemispherical foot elements 7 are arranged on the outer edge, approximately in the region of the bend to the wall 5.
  • Three foot elements are advantageously arranged over the circumference of the underside 4 of the housing 2.
  • the foot elements serve as holding means when attaching the heating device to a bedpan. They prevent the Heating device.
  • the holding means serve as a standing means. On them, the heating device can be parked away from the ground, even in the heated state, without the risk of possible damage to the storage area by heat.
  • a semicircular grip element 8 is arranged on the top 3 of the housing 2.
  • a temperature setting means 9 for example a thermostat
  • a connection means 10 for the power supply is provided on the temperature setting means 9 or in the area of the temperature setting means.
  • a cable (not shown) leads to heating wires 11 inside the housing 2 is added, can be transferred.
  • the heating wires 11 are therefore arranged in the region of the wall 5.
  • the heating wires run essentially circularly within the housing, being meandered at least once.
  • Aluminum is preferably chosen as the material for the housing or for the heating device. At the very least, a solid, heat-resistant material should be used. In contrast to known heating devices, however, in the present case only a temperature of approximately 35 ° C. should be achieved by the heating device for the bedpan.
  • FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a heating device 1 according to the invention. This is attached to a bedpan 12.
  • the adaptation of the peripheral wall 5 of the housing 2 of the heating device 1 to an upper wall 13 in the region of the opening of the bedpan is clearly visible.
  • the holding means 7 serve to prevent the cover from slipping as the housing 2 in the upper opening of the bedpan 12.
  • these are pins in the embodiment according to FIG. These get stuck in the opening of the bedpan.
  • a solid body is provided instead of a hollow body for the housing 2.
  • the solid body preferably consists of two plates 14, 15.
  • the heating wires or heating elements 11 are inserted between these two plates 14, 15. For example, they can also be cast into it. Better heat conduction is possible in the solid material than in a hollow body, which is why the arrangement of the heating elements in this exemplary embodiment is positioned more in the wider part of the housing, namely the central part.
  • the heating wires can however also be arranged in the edge region of the wall 5.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of a third embodiment of a heating device 1 according to the invention.
  • segments of a ring element are shown as holding means 7 in the embodiment according to FIG. 3.
  • a completely encircling ring element could also be provided.
  • the handle element 8 is shown in plan view as a flat component which is attached to the housing, for example by welding.
  • the grip element should preferably be made of a material that does not conduct heat. Otherwise there would be the danger that if the heating device becomes too hot, it cannot be removed from the bedpan due to the excessive heat. If a heat-resistant plastic is used for the handle element, this can also be fastened to the housing of the heating device by screwing.
  • a cable 16 for the power supply is led to the outside.
  • the heating device can preferably be connected to a normal 230 volt socket.
  • the heating wires 11 are circular, arranged merging and indicated by dash-dotted lines.
  • the dimensions of the heating device are preferably adapted to the dimensions of the upper opening of the bedpan.
  • the upper side 3 of the housing 2 preferably has a diameter of approximately 300 mm
  • the lower side 4 of the housing has a diameter of approximately 200 mm.
  • the peripheral edge 6 has a height of 5 mm, for example, the total height in the widest area of the housing being 20 mm or 50-60 mm.
  • Such a heating device is adapted, for example, to a bedpan with an upper opening diameter at the narrowest point of 200 mm and a pool height in this area of 70 mm.
  • embodiments with smaller dimensions for bedpans for children can also be provided, for example with a diameter at the top 3 of approximately 230 mm.
  • FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a heating device 1 according to the invention as a hollow body in cross section.
  • the heating device has an upper housing part 20 and a lower housing part 21.
  • the upper housing part extends with a flange 26 over the lower housing part.
  • a grip element 28 is provided on the upper side 23 of the upper housing part 20.
  • an on / off switch is arranged on the upper side 23 for switching the heating device 1 on or off.
  • the cable 16 for the power supply is also led out on the upper side 23 of the upper housing part 20.
  • the lower housing part 21 has a projection 27 on its underside 24.
  • the projection 27 like the holding means 7 according to the previous figures, serves as a holding means against slipping in the upper opening of the bedpan.
  • the projection 27 is molded into the lower housing part 21.
  • a heating coil 31 is provided in the region of a wall 25 of the lower housing part 21, which rests on the top wall 13 when the heating device 1 is placed on a bedpan.
  • An adjustable thermostat 29 inside the heating device 1 is provided for presetting the temperature of the heating coil 31. The thermostat preferably limits the adjustable temperature to 30 to 40 ° C.
  • a safety thermostat 32 is preferably also provided in the interior of the housing.
  • the safety thermostat 32 limits the maximum temperature to, for example, 50 ° C. If the maximum selected temperature is exceeded, the heating device is then switched off.
  • a terminal block 33 is provided in the interior of the housing.
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the housing according to FIG. 4.
  • the plan view shows the upper housing part 20, which is curved in a side view, with the on / off switch 30, the handle element 28 and the cable 16 for the power supply attached to it.
  • FIG. 6 shows a circuit diagram of the heating device according to FIG. 4.
  • the thermostats 29, 32 are selected so that they are switched off as a switch when necessary. An interruption in the power supply to the heating coil 31 thus occurs. Conversely, the on / off switch is provided so that the circuit is closed by actuating the switch.
  • a preferred heating power of 500 watts is selected with a power supply of 230 volts.
  • the on / off switch is preferably bipolar.
  • the grip element 28 and the housing 2 are preferably made of polished V2A steel.
