Definitions

• the present invention relates to a safe device for nursing support, for example a changing table.
• Devices which consist of a foam mattress covered with a washable synthetic fabric, with or without inside a wooden board ensuring the rigidity of the mattress.
• This type of mattress which is used on all types of support and in particular on tables not specifically designed for this use, does not offer any guarantee of safety against falling children.
• the treatment table in fact comprises a barrier or protective frame in its upper part, with automatic positioning, retractable, fixed on the table or frame of the treatment table, disposed on the periphery of the plane of work or mattress on which the child to be cared for is placed.
• the devices of this kind comprise on a support comprising two arches articulated to each other by scissors, a bathtub of flexible waterproof material and, a changing table or tray, the support being able to occupy at will either a folded position for storage, either a deployed position for use, and the changing table being hinged mounted so as to occupy in the position of use of the device either a retracted position or it allows the bath, or a position of use or it allows to change the baby.
• the present invention aims to give care tables or changing tables conditions of use definitively reducing the risk of falls of young children.
• the device of the type under consideration is characterized in that the changing table consists of a rigid structure, for example a metal tube, composed of two parallelepipid frames tangled one inside the other. , assembled and articulated at an axis point, forming a cross during the opening which is limited by any means (table top for example) and thus making it possible to obtain a base.
• This is a known device.
• the innovation of this secure treatment table device consists of a kind of frame which, made of a rigid material, constitutes a barrier or frame with automatic lifting, retractable from a certain height controlled and disposed at the upper periphery of the tray. said secure treatment table.
• This secure treatment table device (1) is characterized in that it comprises a system consisting of two superimposed tubular frames (2), one of which is movable, connected to each other by at least two crosspieces (3), rigid, with a limited clearance arranged on either side of the short side of the rectangle formed by the frames (2).
• the lower frame of the device (4) is integral with the base of the table on which is placed the plate (5) intended to receive the mattress on which the child or the subject in general is placed.
• the upper frame of the device (6) connected to the lower frame (4) by the braces (3) is mobile and can therefore be moved in a vertical axis relative to the treatment table (1).
• two ends of four of the crossbars (3) are articulated on the axes (7) secured to the movable upper (6) and lower (4) frame of the device.
• the other two ends of the braces (3) are movable and move in a horizontal direction in slides (8) or any other mechanical means of guided movement, fixed for example on the plate (5) of the treatment table or on any other part that can be secured to it.
• the assembly of the two upper and lower frames (2) linked together by the braces (3) as described below demonstrates that according to a preferred embodiment, the lower frame (4) is fixed and rigid and that the frame upper (6) is movable in a vertical axis, rigid and free from any lateral and longitudinal displacement by the use in this direction, of ropes (9) for example nylon, arranged diagonally between the upper frames (6) and lower (4) on each side of the long table.
• the present invention is also characterized by the fact that, in order to control the movements of the upper frame (6) of the treatment table, at least two gas springs or cylinders are arranged on either side of the treatment table. treatments acting directly on one of the arms of each spider (3), thus allowing the automatic lifting of the upper frame (6) therefore the automatic engagement of safety.
• This characteristic of the invention makes it possible to slow down and control the movements from the bottom up and from the top to the bottom of the upper frame (6) of the device relative to the lower frame (4) and to eliminate any risk of trauma whose l child could be a victim due to the sudden and untimely rise of the senior manager (6).
• the present invention is also characterized in that the control device (1 1) of the upper frame ( ⁇ ) consists in a preferred embodiment, of a lever or pedal (12) located on the ground or on any other part of the base of the treatment table, connected by a flexible cable (13) to the base of the braces circulating on pulleys (14), arranged between the lower (4) and upper (6) frames of the device.
• the control device (1 1) of the upper frame ( ⁇ ) consists in a preferred embodiment, of a lever or pedal (12) located on the ground or on any other part of the base of the treatment table, connected by a flexible cable (13) to the base of the braces circulating on pulleys (14), arranged between the lower (4) and upper (6) frames of the device.
• the control device of the invention (1 1) allows the user when he acts on the pedal or other lever (12) to lower the upper frame (6) and to freely access the child or subject who needs to be treated. According to the characteristic of the invention, when the user releases his action on the pedal or other lever (12) the upper frame (6) automatically returns to the high or safety position, thanks to the action of the gas springs or cylinders. (10) In another embodiment, ( Figure 3) the upper frame (6) may consist of two or more hoops (15 & 16) fixed in opposition relative to each other on the lower frame (4) of the device.
• One of these two hoops (15) comprises a piece (17) of material and of suitable shape guiding the second hoop (16) and making it possible to fold the two hoops (15 & 16) simultaneously in a symmetrical manner.
• the second hoop (16) is provided with a roller (18) rolling on the part (17) itself fixed on the hoop (15) and with a stop (19) making it possible to stop the assembly in position high.
• This pedal (12) is connected by a cable (13) or cable to a jack, gas spring or compass (10) itself disposed between the poles (15 & 16) and fixed at one end directly on the part (17) and at the other end by means, for example, of a metal tab (24) fixed to the arch (16).
• This secure treatment table device (1) is characterized in that it comprises a system consisting of two arches (15 & 16) or more, allowing when in the high position to produce a rigid and retractable protective belt, thus constituting a treatment table or changing table thus preventing the fall of the child.
• the product which is the subject of this document can be, whatever its embodiment, separated from the traditional base and positioned by any means on any piece of furniture or tray while retaining all of the functions here. described (fig 5).
• the product which is the subject of the invention can be provided in a preferred mode with one or more removable mechanical fasteners (26) of any type, and for example sleepsuit, for gripping said device on a piece of furniture or any other flat support.
• the product object of the invention is provided with a locking system (25) fig.3
• this locking system (25) consists of two metal parts (20 & 21) respectively integral with each of the metal legs (24) fixed on the arches (15 & 16) and connected together by a rigid connecting bar (22 ).
• This part (20) is fixed and articulated on the support (24) of the jack (10), it is provided with an orifice (23) allowing the fixing of the end of the cable or rope (13) itself connected to the pedal (12).
• the shapes and dimensions can easily be adapted to the shape, dimensions and weight of the child or animal that can be placed on the treatment table.
• the device according to the invention finds immediate application for newborns and young children, as a changing table that can be used in hospitals or in the home.
