Abstract

The couch comprises a bed side section (8) which is adjustable for height and lockable in intermediate positions at one or both sides of the bed. It lowers into a position allowing free access to the bed surface. A supporting and auxiliary hand grip (16,17) is mounted at one or both sides of the bed and is independent of the side section. The grip is inside the side section and mounted on the mattress-frame, on which its position is adjustable, in slots in lengthwise members. The grips can be P-shaped, with the upright portion secured to the member so that it cannot turn, or alternatively of L-shape and similarly mounted.

Das Bettseitenteil erstreckt sich in diesem praktisch über die gesamte Liegeflächenlänge.Lounging furniture with bed side parts, in particular for hospital beds, are already known in a variety of embodiments. From Catalog 45

The Paramount bed represents a merging of high-technology functions with the needs of patients and medical professionals "and the subtitle

PARAMOUNT BED "bed side parts are known with scissors-like elements that can be swiveled up and down in one plane, so that the bed side part in question can be moved into its uppermost, fully unfolded position and into a lower, swiveled down position that does not hinder free access to the bed surface The bed side part extends practically over the entire length of the bed.

From the same catalog, however, bed side parts are also known which extend only over part, preferably the head-side end part of the bed in question, while the other part is open without protection. A section of the relevant bed side part is cranked outward at right angles trained and rigid, so that especially disabled people can use this part as a handle when straightening and can also lift themselves up from the bed when getting up.

Also known from this publication is a construction in which the bed side part which can be pivoted up and down in a scissor-like manner consists of several length sections which leave a freely accessible space on the foot and head side for the lying surface. In this context, it is also proposed to arrange a cranked tubular frame on a side surface next to a bed side part which can be pivoted up and down in a scissor-like manner and which can be used as a handle by a disabled or elderly person. In this case, a space is provided between the different bed side sections, the spaces being larger on the head and foot sides.

From DE-OS 44 00 802 a bed, in particular a hospital and / or nursing bed, is already known, consisting of a bed frame in which a preferably adjustable bed insert or bed frame is arranged, and a frame supporting the bed frame, the bed frame being at least one Has integrated safety side part, which can be brought into a raised and a lowered position. In order to improve such a bed, the safety side part has a plurality of cross struts which are each pivotably mounted on the bed frame at one end and the other end of which is connected to a longitudinal strut in an articulated manner. As a result, the bed side part can be opened and closed in the vertical plane as with the bed parts described above swivel down, i.e. in an upper, locked position blocking free access to the bed and in a swiveled down position allowing free access to the lying surface.

DE-GM 90 16 422.9 shows a bed, in particular a hospital and / or nursing bed with laterally arranged, board-like profiles, which leave a gap between them and which form the bed side part. The bed side part is also arranged lockable in an upper and lower position.

From DE-GM 87 00 804.1 a similar bed is previously known, in which the side part has a foldable wall, which is arranged between an upper and a lower tube or corresponding cross bars. The cross bars are slidably guided in side guides of the corner bars such that the upper cross bar can be pulled up over the total height of the guide or length of the guide and the lower cross bar can only be moved in a partial section of this guide, with the movement of the lower cross bar in each of these guides limiting stop or locking is arranged and the upper cross member are coupled in motion with the lower cross member via the foldable wall.

The DE-GM 85 32 458 and DE-PS 35 40 723 also show a hospital and / or nursing bed, the side parts being attached to the bed surround in such a way that the movable side part is arranged in a vertical plane which is through the longitudinal spar of the Lying surface frame runs and therefore laterally there should be no protruding parts. There are guide means for the movable side parts, which are formed by the four corner posts themselves, the guide slots pointing towards the inner surface of the bed, such that the movable and height-adjustable side part is part of the bed frame itself and is integrated into it.

DE-GM 84 12 948.4 also shows a hospital and / or nursing bed with a side part, which is designed as a wooden grille and is provided on both sides with a short guide on the upper spar and with longer guides on the side edges of the wooden grille body.

From DE-PS 35 36 499 a hospital bed in the form of a sectional frame bed with several side-by-side pivotable connected to parallel axes lying surface parts are known, which carry the bedding, at least on one side of the bed having movable parts, movable bed side part is arranged. The bed side part is designed to be articulated in predetermined length ranges such that pivoting and / or lifting movements of the lying surface parts, the respectively assigned sections of the side part also carry out these movements. For this purpose, the bed side part consists of several sections which, like the lying surface parts, are connected to one another in an articulated manner. Here, too, the bed side part extends over the entire length of the bed.

kombiniert". Dieses Schutzseitenteil braucht sich nur über einen gewissen Längenabschnitt, zum Beispiel nur über ein Drittel der Länge der Liegefläche, zu erstrecken. Auf jeden Fall sollte es eine solche Länge haben, daß die im Bett ruhende Person sich beim Ergreifen des Schutzseitenteils alleine aufrichten und auf dem Schutzseitenteil abstützen und zum Beispiel in Sitzposition begeben kann, woraufhin der Patient sich zum Beispiel auf dem Schutzseitenteil aufstützend selbst auch hinstellen kann, um unter anderem im Zimmer auf und ab zu gehen. Beim Niedersetzen auf das Bett kann sich der Patient auf dem Schutzseitenteil abstützen und allmählich seine Beine hochschwingen. Vor einem seitlichen Wegkippen schützt ihn dann das Schutzseitenteil.The European patent application 95 119 930.6-2315, which has not been previously published and also belongs to the applicant, relates to a bed side part for reclining furniture, in particular for hospital beds or nursing beds, which can be lowered on one long side of the bed from its uppermost position to its lowest position, which allows free access to the lying surface and, if appropriate, can also be locked in intermediate positions at one end or at both ends, the upper side of the bed side part being assigned a protective side part which extends over part of its length and which, for example, is in the inactive position in the uppermost position of the bed side part and in the intermediate position of the bed side part, preferably in its lowermost position, protects the patient on the head side. This achieves the advantage that each side of the bed can be lowered - as usual - fully, but also into one upper locking position and bed part that can be locked in the intermediate position is protected. This bed side part is usually used at night, or for example when the patient is freshly operated. The additional, considerably smaller, in particular shorter sized protective side panel, however, has the advantage that, for example, the large and long bed side panel can be lowered during the day, so that not only the nursing staff have good access from the side to the patient to carry out treatments, but also there is also the possibility that, with the bed side parts completely lowered, the protective side part continues to protect the patient, for example during the day, from inadvertent falling out during sleep. In addition, due to the special arrangement of the protective side part, the patient can use it as a handle, for example when raising and leaving the bed, but also when getting back in. However, he can also completely stow this protective side part after erecting like the other bed side part, so that the lying surface is fully accessible over the entire length. In the invention, therefore, a conventional bed side part with a protective side part is useful

combined ". This protective side part only needs to extend over a certain length, for example only over a third of the length of the lying surface. In any case, it should be of such a length that the person lying in bed straighten up when gripping the protective side part and can rest on the protective side part and, for example, move into a sitting position, whereupon the patient can also support himself on the protective side part, for example, to walk up and down in the room, among other things the patient can support the bed on the protective side part and gradually swing his legs up. The protective side panel then protects it from tipping to the side.

This protective side part does not normally bother the nursing staff or the doctor either, since it only extends over part of the length of the bed, so that treatments on the legs or lower abdomen, possibly also in the abdominal area, can be carried out without further ado. If the entire length and completely free access to the lying surface are required, the protective side panel can be stowed away quickly and conveniently, practically with one hand, for example by swiveling it downwards.

If the long bed side part is in operation, especially at night, the protective side part is out of function.

The bed side part can basically have any construction, for example consist of tubes running parallel to one another, of a grid, of scissor-like moving elements, of fabric webs or the like.

The invention has for its object to give disabled and / or sick people the opportunity to sit up on the reclining furniture, to sit on the edge of the bed and gradually to the feet and lie back on the reclining furniture alone. Therefore, specifically, a piece of reclining furniture or a nursing or nursing bed should be created, in which the sick or nursing person is offered an aid that makes it much easier for them to leave the reclining furniture, but also to get back into bed or the like.

This object is achieved by the features set out in claim 1 .

In the invention, a conventional up and down adjustable bed side part is assigned a support and auxiliary handle which is arranged independently of the bed side part in question on one or both long sides of the reclining furniture in question. This can be a part that remains connected to the reclining furniture even if the otherwise customary bed side part is adjusted in height, for example moved into its lowered position or completely removed from the reclining furniture. In the lowered position of the bed side part, the sick or dependent person normally leaves the sick bed or the like. Then this person can pull up on the support and auxiliary handle, support it and gradually let it slide onto their feet. She can also hold on to this support and auxiliary handle, standing next to the bed, and later climb the reclining furniture to a certain extent in reverse order. This support and auxiliary handle For example, during the day it can also provide some protection for the sick or needy person against rolling out of bed, while, for example, the bed side parts are on one side or on both sides in the lowered position. Then access to the lying surface and thus also to the patient in bed by the nursing staff or the like, for example for carrying out washing or treatments, is easily possible, since the support and auxiliary handle only insignificantly hinders access to the patient.

The support and auxiliary handle can thus be handled independently of the height-adjustable bed side part, which can consist, for example, of a foldable wall, of parallel, spaced tubes, rods, hollow bodies, of foldable or foldable elements or the like. The support and auxiliary handle can be used in practically all constructions, since it is advantageously coupled to the reclining furniture independently of the bed side part.

Claims 2 to 16 describe further inventive configurations.

In the reclining furniture apparent from claim 2 , the support and auxiliary handle is located on the inside of the bed side part. This has the advantage that the bed side part can be easily unlocked from the outside, for example to adjust the height or to lower it completely. Then the protection of the person in bed by the support and auxiliary handle is still retained to a certain extent, in any case the person in bed can then grip the support and auxiliary handle to straighten himself up.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention according to claim 3 is the supporting and auxiliary handle with the mattress frame, in particular a longitudinal member of the mattress frame, respectively.

It is particularly advantageous if - as described in claim 4 - the support and auxiliary handle is arranged in a variable position on the reclining furniture, in particular on the mattress frame. It is then in your hand to adjust the support and auxiliary handle on the long side of the reclining furniture according to the needs of the patient, once to take into account the physical circumstances of the patient, but also to provide support in the case of treatment - And to be able to move the auxiliary handle, for example, to a different position, for example to remove it and place it on the bedside cabinet or the like during the treatment. All of this can be done in a single step, i.e. in a matter of seconds. No special training for nursing staff is required.

A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention is described in patent claim 5. In this case, the support and auxiliary handle is to be arranged in the mattress frame, that is to say in the longitudinal spars arranged in holes, in particular inserted. A secure fit is achieved, for example, with tapered holes. Suitable snaps, threads, projections in the manner of bayonet catches or the like can also be assigned to the section of the support and auxiliary handle to be inserted into the bore, on the one hand to achieve a firm connection of the support and auxiliary handle to the mattress frame, and on the other hand also one enable quick handling. In addition, this solution is relatively inexpensive.

In the embodiment apparent from claim 6 , the support and auxiliary handle is arranged adjustable and lockable in slots, slots, guides or the like of the longitudinal spar of the mattress frame. This can be done by means of screws, catches or shapes in the mattress frame, for example also with a positive fit. As a result, the support and auxiliary handle can optionally be adjusted continuously in the longitudinal direction of the reclining furniture, while only an intermittent adjustment of the support and auxiliary handle is possible when bores are arranged.

P"-förmig ausgebildet, wobei der Steg mit dem Matratzenrahmen verdrehsicher zu verbinden ist.The support and auxiliary handle according to claim 7 is advantageously approximately in the side view

P "-shaped, the web is to be connected to the mattress frame against rotation.

L"-förmig ausgestaltet ist. In diesem Falle kann zum Beispiel der senkrechte Steg des

L" mit dem Matratzenrahmen, zum Beispiel in einer Bohrung des Matratzenrahmens, verdrehsicher verbunden werden (Patentanspruch 8).Constructions are also conceivable in which the support and auxiliary handle

L "-shaped. In this case, for example, the vertical web of the

L "can be connected to the mattress frame, for example in a bore in the mattress frame, so that it cannot rotate ( claim 8 ).

T"-förmig ausgestaltete Stütz- und Hilfshandgriffe sind denkbar. In diesem Falle wird ebenfalls der senkrechte Steg mit dem Matratzenrahmen, beispielsweise mit einer Bohrung, verbunden (Patentanspruch 9).Also

T "-shaped support and auxiliary handles are conceivable. In this case, the vertical web is also connected to the mattress frame, for example with a hole ( claim 9 ).

It is also possible to snap or slide the support and auxiliary handle onto the longitudinal spar of the mattress frame, for example from the outside, by means of clamps or by mere frictional engagement, for example with U-shaped spring clips ( claims 10 to 12 ).

Claims 13 to 16 describe preferred embodiments of the support and auxiliary handle with bed side parts known per se.

Further very advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in claims 17 to 20 . In these, the support and auxiliary handle - possibly in several planes - is arranged to be foldable and / or pivotable or rotatable. This can be very helpful for storage purposes.

Reference number 1 overall designates a reclining furniture designed as a sick bed and / or nursing bed, which in principle can have a conventional construction. The lying furniture 1 has a foot-side bed head 2 and a head-side bed head 3, while 4 denotes a longitudinal spar of a bed surface frame (not shown) (FIG. 1) on which bedding 5 is located.

The lying surface frame can - which cannot be seen from the drawing and is also not a condition - can be raised and lowered and tilted at the head or foot end in different angular positions and can also be locked in the desired tilt and / or height position. It is also possible to design the bed as a sectional frame bed, in which the lying surface parts are pivotally connected by axes. Motor drives for this, including the handlebar linkage, have not been illustrated in detail. Instead, a base 6 was only shown schematically. This base frame 6 is rigid in the present case, so that the reclining furniture 1 cannot be moved. The reclining furniture 1 can, however, also be provided with castors, at least one of which can be braked (not shown). With 7 an inclinable backrest is called.

Furthermore, it is possible to completely or partially clad the base frame 6 with wood and / or plastic and / or sheet metal and to connect them to one another, so that there is an approximately double-T-shaped configuration in plan view results. Within the scope of the inventive concept, however, there are also reclining furniture in which the base frames usually used for hospital and / or nursing beds are used, for example with a foot pump, pumps for driving linear motors, electric motors, hydraulic or screw-spindle motors, for lifting and lowering the lying surface frame, for the inclination adjustment, gas springs for supporting the adjustment of lying surface parts, for example during the adjustment movement of the backrest 7, which is illustrated in FIG. 1 in its inclined position. The underframes 6 can also consist of telescopically and, for example, vertically adjustable parts (not shown) which accommodate the motor drives, gas springs, the linkage or the like encapsulated.

Bed side parts are illustrated on both long sides of the reclining furniture 1, one of these bed side parts being designated by the reference number 8. A bed side part 9 of the same type can be arranged on the other long side of the reclining furniture. Both bed side parts 8, 9 consist of up or down slidable, rod-shaped or rod-shaped elements 10 in guides (not shown). Instead of — as shown — two such elements 10, it is of course also possible to use considerably more of these elements. The elements 10 can also be height-adjustable on one side, for example also lying on one side on the other, so that they no longer assume their parallel position to one another. This also makes it possible, for example, for the bed side part 8, 9 on one or both sides of the foot or lower on the head side. In the lowered position, these bed side parts 8, 9 can lie on one another without a gap or at a small distance from one another, so that the free space under the bed surface frame is not hindered by the bed side part in question. It is also possible to produce the bed side parts from foldable grids, from fabric sheets, nets, flexible sheets which are transparent or non-transparent, from tubes, profiled iron, or the like. From Fig. 5, the bed side part 9 can be seen once in its upper and once in its lowered lower position, in which the individual elements 10 do not hinder access to the bed surface on the bedding 5 and thus to the mattress, so that on the bedding lying person can be treated and / or cared for unhindered.

In the illustrated embodiment, each longitudinal spar 4, that is to say both the front and the rear longitudinal spar of the lying surface frame in the direction of view, has a plurality of bores or openings which are parallel to one another with their longitudinal axes and are arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal spar 4, of which only the Bore or opening 11 is provided with a reference numeral (Fig. 4). In each bore or opening 11, a bearing bush 12 is arranged, which has a flange 13 at its upper end, with which it rests on the top of the longitudinal spar 4 in question and, for example, is threaded at its lower end section protruding from the opening or bore 11 and is secured by a nut 14 or the like. In this bearing bush 12 a tapered web 15 of a support or auxiliary handle 16 or 17 is arranged, for example inserted, which is arranged in a suitable manner against rotation in the bearing bush 12. For example, this can be done by means of a snap, by a positive connection, toothing, locking, pinning, by stops, transverse tiller, which reach through corresponding openings or the like.

FIG. 2 shows different positions of the support and auxiliary handle 16. The position shown with dash-dotted lines shows the support and auxiliary handle 16 in the area on the foot side. For example, the support and auxiliary handle 16, but also the support and auxiliary handle 17, can be arranged here if access to the patient is desired in the fuselage and / or head area, or if the reclining furniture 1 in question is to the disinfection center or in one Stacking or storage space is brought, or for other reasons. Of course, intermediate positions are also possible, viewed over the length of the reclining furniture.

The web of the support and auxiliary handle 16, 17 runs parallel to the lying surface frame and is not specially marked, but can be designed and arranged in the same way as the web 15. Instead of only two holes, several holes can also be assigned to each of the longitudinal bars 4 of the mattress frame , so that each support and auxiliary handle 16 and 17 can be adjusted and locked in fine stages over the length of the reclining furniture 1. As you can see, the support and auxiliary handle 16 protrudes, 17 by a certain amount A above the top of the bedding 5, to the extent that a person resting on the bedding can easily reach the horizontally extending section of the approximately P-shaped support and auxiliary handle 16 and 17, respectively . Also, the support and auxiliary handle 16 or 17 will always be arranged in relation to the length of the reclining furniture 1 so that the patient can reach it easily and safely. A secure grip also enables the P-shaped design of the support and auxiliary handle 16 and 17, since the patient grips the hand through the openings 18 and 19 formed thereby and the upper section of the support and auxiliary handle 16 and 17 17 can enclose. Slipping is prevented by the closed opening 18 and 19 when gripping. The upper horizontal section enables the patient to be supported safely after the patient has been pulled up, even if he, sitting on the bedding 5, wants to hold on gradually to the feet.

Likewise, a sick or disabled person can hold on to the support and auxiliary handles 16 and 17 in order to gradually sit on the bed and slide into the bed.

A rotation of the support and auxiliary handle 16, 17 can be prevented by suitable stops. For example, it is possible to secure the support and auxiliary handle 16 or 17 against twisting by means of a transverse splint, a snap, a nose or the like, or that in the recess the spar 4 to be inserted end with a chamfer, bevels, rectangular, square, polygonal or even flat oval, which can be done, for example, by flattening by pressing the end portion of the support and auxiliary handle 16 and 17 to be inserted into the recess.

It can also be clearly seen that the length L of the support and auxiliary handle 16, 17, measured in the axial longitudinal direction of each longitudinal spar 4, is only a fraction of the total length of the longitudinal spar 4, for example only 1/5 to 1/10. Furthermore, FIG. 5 shows that when the bed side part 8 is pulled up - the same applies to the bed side part 9 - the lying surface is not reduced in any way. In one embodiment, the upper edge of the support and auxiliary handle 16, 17 when the bed side part 8 is pulled up is at a distance below the upper edge of the bed side part 8 in question, which also applies to the other bed side part 9. In any case, however, the support and auxiliary handles 16 and 17 are dimensioned such that the distance A above the bedding 5 allows the handle area of the support and auxiliary handles 16 and 17 to be comfortably reached by the person resting on the lying surface. It is also advantageous that vibrations or considerable bending, particularly in the case of heavy people, are not transmitted to the handle parts in question, as in the case of a gallows on a headboard 3, but rather that the construction of the support and auxiliary handles 16 and 17 proposed according to the invention is rather enable a very firm and rigid connection to the mattress frame. Even heavy people can therefore be easily supported on the relevant support and auxiliary handle 16, 17, for example also lean against it, without bending, deflection or undesirable deflections of the support and auxiliary handles 16 and 17 being possible.

The features described in the abstract, in the patent claims and in the description and apparent from the drawing can be essential for realizing the invention both individually and in any combination.
