Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stehhilfe, bestehend aus einem Fußteil, eine sich von dem Fußteil nach oben erstreckenden Halterung und einem an der Halterung befestigten Stützelement.The invention relates to a standing aid consisting of a Foot portion, one extending upward from the foot portion Bracket and a support member attached to the bracket.

Aus dem Stand der Technik, wie z.B. auch aus der DE-A-41 18 013 (Siehe auch EP-A-0 531 208) ist eine Reihe von Stehhilfen bekannt. Bei diesen Stehhilfen handelt es sich eigentlich um Sitzhilfen, die lediglich einen sehr hoch eingestellten Sitz aufweisen und dadurch den Großteil der Gewichtskraft über den Sitz übertragen, so daß die Beine nahezu unbelastet sind.From the prior art, such as also from DE-A-41 18 013 (see also EP-A-0 531 208) a number of standing aids are known. With these Standing aids are actually sitting aids that only have a very high seat and thereby transferring most of the weight through the seat, so that the legs are almost unloaded.

Bei solchen Sitzhilfen besteht immer die Gefahr, daß die aufrechte Haltung wie beim Stehen aufgegeben wird und man eine sitzende, ungesündere Haltung mit hängenden Schultern und Rundrücken einnimmt. Um diesem Effekt entge-genzuwirken, werden im Stand der Technik Sitzhilfen vorgeschlagen, welche eine schräge, sitzähnliche Abstützfläche aufweisen, um eine vollkommene Sitzhaltung zu verhindern. Bei der DE-A- 41 18 013 ist der Sitzkörper schwenkbar, so daß er von einem Sitz in eine schräge Abstützfläche verstellt werden kann. Die schrägen Abstützflächen haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß man nur mit kräftigem Einstemmen der Beine das Abrutschen verhindern kann und hierbei automatisch ein Hohlkreuz ausbildet, wodurch sich die Rückenmuskulatur verspannt und somit keine auf Dauer angenehme und gesunde Haltung eingenommen werden kann. With such seat aids there is always the risk that the upright posture as is given up when standing and one a seated, less healthy posture with drooping shoulders and occupies a rounded back. To counteract this effect, seating aids are proposed in the prior art, which have an inclined, seat-like support surface, to prevent a perfect sitting posture. At the DE-A- 41 18 013 the seat body is pivotable, so that it is a seat can be adjusted into an inclined support surface can. However, the sloping support surfaces have the disadvantage that that you can only do this with a strong clawing of the legs Can prevent slipping and thereby automatically Hollow back forms, which develops the back muscles tense and therefore no long-term pleasant and healthy Posture can be taken.

Eine richtige Stehhilfe soll das Stehen erleichtern, d.h. sie soll die Beine zu einem gewissen Maß entlasten. Die physiologischen Schwingungen der Wirbelsäule und die Muskelarbeit der Rumpfmuskulatur sollen beibehalten werden.A correct standing aid should make standing easier, i.e. it should relieve the legs to a certain extent. The physiological vibrations of the spine and muscle work the trunk muscles should be maintained.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stehhilfe aufzuzeigen, welche das Stehen erleichtert unter Beibehaltung der physiologischen Schwingungen der Wirbelsäule und der Muskelarbeit der Rumpfmuskulatur.The invention is therefore based on the object of a standing aid to show which one makes standing easier Maintaining the physiological vibrations of the spine and the muscular work of the core muscles.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Stützelement an der Oberseite eine schmale, horizontale Kante aufweist. Durch diese schmale horizontale Kante wird man wie von einer fest arretierten Stange abgestützt, wobei sich die Stange praktisch zwischen den Sitzbeinhökern und dem Sitzbeinstachel im Gesäß einhängt, so daß ein Abrutschen automatisch vermieden ist. Die Ausbildung der schmalen horizontalen Stützkante erlaubt somit ein Stehen mit nahzu durchgestreckten Beinen, wobei die Beine zu einem gewissen Maß entlastet werden können. Durch die anatomische Gegebenheit, daß sich eine schmale Stützkante zwischen Sitzbeinhökern und Sitzbeinstachel einhängen kann, ist das kräftige Einstemmen der Beine wie bei den schrägen Abstützflächen nicht mehr erforderlich. Die Stützkante erlaubt somit eine nahezu stehende Position mit einem verläßlichen Widerhalt, und der vollen Bewe-gungsfreiheit des Rumpfes und der oberen Extremitäten. Vorteilhafterweise kann eine derartige Stehhilfe überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo lange gestanden wird, wie z.B. am Stehpult, im OP, in Gärtnereien oder auch im Haushalt. Darüber hinaus bietet sich auch der Einsatz in Rehabilitationszentren bei vorübergehendem Sitzverbot an. Das Stützelement ist an der Halterung vorteilhafterweise über eine Höheneinstellung angeordnet, damit die Höhe der Stützkante genau so eingestellt werden kann, daß die benützende Person diese bei nahezu durchgestreckten Knien im Gesäß zwischen Sitzbeinhökern und Sitzbeinstacheln aufnehmen kann.The object is achieved in that the Support element on the top a narrow, horizontal Edge. Through this narrow horizontal edge one is supported like a firmly locked rod, with the bar practically between the ischial bones and hangs the ischial spine in the buttocks, so that a Slipping is automatically avoided. Training the narrow horizontal support edge thus allows standing with legs almost straight, with legs too can be relieved to a certain extent. Due to the anatomical The fact that there is a narrow support edge hang between the ischium and the ischial spine can, is the vigorous caulking of the legs as with the inclined support surfaces are no longer required. The Support edge thus allows an almost standing position a reliable resistance, and full freedom of movement of the trunk and upper extremities. advantageously, can such a standing aid anywhere be used where it has been standing for a long time, e.g. at the Standing desk, in the operating room, in nurseries or in the household. In addition, it can also be used in rehabilitation centers in the event of a temporary ban on seating. The support element is advantageously on the bracket via a Height adjustment arranged so that the height of the supporting edge can be set exactly so that the user this with almost straight knees in the buttocks between Maybone hocks and spine can accommodate.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann zusätzlich oberhalb des Stützelements eine Lordosestütze sowie auch ein schwenkbarer Tisch als Arbeitsfläche angeordnet sein. Das Fußteil ist günstigerweise an seiner Unterseite sehr griffig ausgebildet, um ein Wegrutschen der Stehhilfe zu vermeiden. Günstig ist es auch, daß am Fußteil im Bereich der Standfläche eine mit dem Fußteil verbundene Platte angeordnet ist, so daß allein das Gewicht der stehenden Person ein Wegrutschen vermeidet. Die Platte ist vorteilhafterweise mit dem Fußteil schwenkbar verbunden. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß durch eine leichte Winkelanstellung der Platte der Stehkomfort gesteigert werden kann, da hierdurch die Zehenspitzen etwas angehoben werden.In an advantageous further development, above the lumbar support and a support element pivoting table can be arranged as a work surface. The The bottom part is conveniently very handy on its underside trained to prevent the standing aid from slipping away. It is also favorable that the foot part in the area of Stand area arranged a plate connected to the foot part is so that only the weight of the standing person avoids slipping away. The plate is advantageous pivotally connected to the foot part. It has shown that by a slight angle adjustment of the Plate the standing comfort can be increased because of this the toes are raised a little.

In einer Ausführungsform ist das Stützelement über ein Zwischenstück an der Halterung befestigt, wobei zwischen Zwischenstück und Halterung eine zusätzliche Höhenfeineinstellung vorgesehen ist. Durch die Höhenfeineintellung kann die Höhe der Stützkante millimetergenau eingestellt werden. Dies ist für eine dauerhafte und gesunde Benutzung sehr wichtig, da bereits geringe Abweichungen in der Höhe zu Fehlhaltungen führen. Das Stützelement ist in einer Ausbildungsvariante als eine im wesentlichen senkrechte Platte mit einem tropfenförmigen Querschnitt ausgebildet. Die Platte ist gegenüber der Halterung vorteilhafterweise drehbar angeordnet und ist jeweils in den gedrehten Stellungen arretierbar. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß, falls dem Benutzer die schmale Kante auf Dauer zu unbequem sein sollte, er die im Querschnitt tropfen-förmige Platte um 180° drehen kann und somit dann an der Oberseite eine etwas breitere Kante zur Verfügung hat. In one embodiment, the support element is over a Intermediate piece attached to the bracket, being between Intermediate piece and bracket an additional height adjustment is provided. Through the fine height adjustment can adjust the height of the support edge to the millimeter become. This is for permanent and healthy use very important as there are already slight deviations in height lead to bad posture. The support element is in one Training variant as an essentially vertical Plate formed with a teardrop-shaped cross section. The plate is advantageous over the bracket rotatably arranged and is in the rotated positions lockable. This has the advantage that if the Users will find the narrow edge to be uncomfortable in the long run he should around the cross-section of the drop-shaped plate Can rotate 180 ° and then a bit on the top wider edge is available.

Günstigerweise ist auch zwischen Halterung und plattenförmigem Sitzelement eine Winkeleinstellungseinrichtung vorgesehen, welche eine Einstellung der Neigung und in begrenztem Ausmaß der Höhe der Platte erlaubt.Is also favorable between the holder and plate-shaped Seat element an angle adjustment device provided which an adjustment of the inclination and in limited extent of the height of the plate allowed.

Die Stehhilfe mit plattenförmigem Stützelement kann auch ideal als Lordosestütze bzw. Rückenlehne für Hocker verwendet werden.The standing aid with plate-shaped support element can also ideally used as lordosis support or backrest for stools become.

Die Stehhilfe kann im Fußbereich mit einer Feder- und/oder Pendeleinrichtung ausgestattet sein und mit einem Pendelhocker berbinden sein. Das Pendel-Feder-Schwingen auf einem Pendelhocker ist damit auch im angelehnten Zustand möglich.The standing aid can be equipped with a spring and / or pendulum device in the foot area and with a Tie up a pendulum stool. The pendulum-spring swing on a pendulum stool is thus also in the ajar condition possible.

Zwischen Halterung 2 und Fußteil 1 ist eine zusätzliche Versteifungsstrebe 13 angeordnet. Das Stützelement 3 ist über ein Zwischenstück 8 an der Halterung 2 befestigt und im wesentlichen plattenförmig mit einem tropfenförmigen Querschnitt ausgebildet. Oberhalb des Stützelements 3 ist an der Halterung 2 ebenso über ein Zwischenstück eine Lordosestütze 5 angeordnet, wobei diese an der Halterung 2 in der Höhe verfahrbar ist. Oberhalb der Lordosestütze ist ein Tisch 6 angeordnet, welcher zum einen schwenkbar und zum anderen ebenso in der Höhe eingestellt werden kann.Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the standing aid in Side view. The foot part 1 and the bracket 2 are also connected to each other in an L-shape, the bracket 2 extends beyond the height of the support element 3. Between bracket 2 and foot section 1 is an additional one Stiffening strut 13 arranged. The support element 3 is attached to the bracket 2 via an intermediate piece 8 and essentially plate-shaped with a teardrop-shaped Cross section formed. Is above the support element 3 on the bracket 2 also via an intermediate piece Lumbar support 5 arranged, this on the bracket 2nd is movable in height. Above the lumbar support a table 6 is arranged, which on the one hand is pivotable and on the other hand, the height can also be adjusted.

An der Vorderseite des Fußteils 1 ist eine Platte 7 vorgesehen, auf welcher die benützende Person steht und somit durch ihr Eigengewicht ein Wegrutschen der gesamten Stehhilfe verhindert. Die Platte 7 kann, wie gestrichelt dargestellt, auch als Keil ausgebildet sein bzw. nach oben um einen gewissen Winkelbetrag verschwenkt sein, wodurch - wie bereits oben erwähnt - eine wesentlich bequemere Standposition erzielt wird. Die Unterseite des Fußteils 1 ist je nach Beschaffenheit mit Noppen, Moosgummi oder anderen reibungsintensiven Materialien versehen.A plate 7 is provided on the front of the foot part 1, on which the user is standing and thus due to its own weight, the entire standing aid slides away prevented. The plate 7 can, as shown in dashed lines, also be designed as a wedge or upwards around be pivoted a certain angular amount, whereby - as mentioned above - a much more convenient one Stand position is achieved.

Fig. 7 zeigt die Verwendung der Stehhilfe als Rückenlehne für einen Hocker 11. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Stützelement 3 ebenfalls tropfenförmig ausgebildet, wobei vorteilhafterweise bei der Verwendung als Rükkenlehne die breitere Stützkante 3' nach oben gedreht wird. Der stoffüberzogene Schaumstoff 20, welcher die Stützkanten 3, 3' umgibt, ist dabei so hart gewählt, daß sich beim Anlehnen das Ende des Zwischenstücks 8 nicht durchdrückt. Der Hocker 11 wird hierzu einfach auf die Platte 7 der Stehhilfe gestellt, so daß diese bei belastetem Hocker fest mit diesem verbunden ist. Durch dieses einfache Zusammenwirken eines Hockers mit der Stehhilfe ist eine ideale Kombination für gesunde Sitzvorrichtungen geschaffen. In einem Arbeitsraum kann z.B. für die sitzende Tätigkeit ein Hocker bzw. ein aktivdynamischer Pendelhocker verwendet werden und für die stehende Tätigkeit die Stehhilfe. Wünscht man bei der sitzenden Tätigkeit eine Rückenlehne, wie z.B. beim längeren Telefonieren bzw. beim Lesen, so kann die Stehhilfe einfach hinter den Hokker gestellt und als Rückenlehne verwendet werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß gerade unterschiedliche Beanspruchungen der Rückenmuskulatur geeignet sind, um Rückenschäden vorzubeugen, so daß eine Kombination aus Pendelhocker, Stehhilfe sowie auch Pendelhocker mit als Stehhilfe eingesetzter Rückenlehne eine ideale Lösung zur Verhinderung von Rückenproblemen darstellt.Fig. 7 shows the use of the standing aid as a backrest for a stool 11. In the illustrated embodiment the support element 3 is also drop-shaped, advantageously when used as a backrest the wider support edge 3 'turned upwards becomes. The fabric-covered foam 20, which the Surrounding support edges 3, 3 'is chosen so hard that the end of the intermediate piece 8 is not when leaning by suppressed. The stool 11 is simply on the Plate 7 of the standing aid placed so that this when loaded Stool is firmly connected to this. Because of this simple interaction of a stool with the stool is an ideal combination for healthy seating created. In a work room e.g. for the seated Activity a stool or an active dynamic pendulum stool be used and for the standing activity the standing aid. If you want to do the sedentary job a backrest, e.g. during long calls or when reading, the standing aid can simply be behind the Hokker be put and used as a backrest. It has it has been shown that just different stresses the back muscles are suitable to prevent back damage, so that a combination of a stool, a stool as well as a pendulum stool with a stool Backrest an ideal solution to prevent Represents back problems.
