Definitions

  • the present invention has for object a bed, particularly for communities, of the type with bed-plane articulated structure and means for the movement and control of at least said bed-plane.
  • the invention finds particular even if not exclusive application in the field of technical furniture for hospital sectors, such as specifically hospitals, clinics and nursing homes for long-stay in hospital and old-age homes and anyway all those cases in which an easy means for the transportation and a more comfortable as well as therapeutical stay in bed of the patients must be available.
  • the traditional hospital bed is known. It is generally made up of a rigid frame, mostly in metal, to which, in correspondence of the ends, a headboard and a footboard are associated. Most of the presently available beds also are of the technical type, that is they must satisfy generally standard special requirements, required by the hospitals. This is the case, for example, of beds lowerly provided with wheels for allowing the movement from a place to another, as well as when needed, some lateral retaining means are required, which substantially have a safety function, preventing the patient from accidentally coming out the bed-plane perimeter, as for instance for retaining the old patients.
  • the frame may be differently structured for allowing the movement of the patient's resting plane, such as for example from a former coplanar position to a different one, by lifting an end respect to the other, or alternatively both of them according to the patient's needs, is known.
  • a traditional resting plane both for hospital beds and domestic use, concerns all the surface delimited by the bed frame and is made up of one, but also of more, sometimes interconnected and elastically yielding sub-structures. This is the case of the traditional bedspring, where the mesh ends, periferically, are either engaged along the bed frame, or alternatively along the perimeter of at least a second dynamical frame which interacts with said first one, which in this case is static.
  • the invention concerns that category of beds having articulated, adjustable planes, to which the attention of those skilled in the art is presently directed.
  • the back's adjustment is obtained in a very easy way, by steadily fulcruming an end of the dynamical frame along the intrados of the static frame longitudinal members.
  • electromechanical different devices which may work both on the element connecting the dynamical frame part to that of the static frame, and alternatively comprise some also automatically operated lever devices, on one side engaged along the back's dynamical frame, while the opposite end is hinged to the static frame.
  • the traditional planes which up to now have characterised such beds, have a common origin, so that they are made up of a metal flat bedspring varnished with epoxidic resins.
  • the drawback of such structure substantially consists in that it does not allow, like the other metal solutions, a satisfactory treatment in autoclave, and anyway because of the frequent washing with detergents and disinfectants tends to wear in short time.
  • a the structure wear may be mainly noticed in the long-stay beds, under effect of the natural contact with physiological liquids, such as for example, the urine.
  • a third problem found, not less important than the previous ones is that the patients, forced in bed for long periods, may be subject to the formation of bedsores, particularly undesired and painful.
  • a first foreign Company of the field already replaced the traditional metal bedspring with a thermoformed plane in plastic material.
  • This latter when it needs to be removed, is simply laid on a corresponding perimetral metal frame, which being movable acts as a support, associated to the bed static structure according to the known art.
  • a second characteristic is the particular shape of the panels which make up the articulated plane, which have a series of openings for the mattress aeration from the bottom upwards and viceversa, and a series of protrusions, which allow to keep the mattress slightly lifted respect to the plane.
  • Said symmetrical protrusions placed in parallel rows are spaced by openings, and by longitudinal staves, in this case two, which subdivide said protrusions in three rows, realising between these latter some also longitudinal aeration channels.
  • a second but not less important aspect concerns the patient's position. This even if locally adjustable by operating on the bed planes, may never be optimised, mainly because of the articulation insufficiency provided along the traditional bed-planes which support the mattress. It is the frequent case, for example, of the patient having his back risen, who being in such a condition, tends to slide forward. Such position will progressively be unsuitable and uncomfortable as long as the patient remains in this situation, up to being forced to go back again to his former position exerting a force with his articulations, and in particular with his arms, along the bed edges.
  • a second negative aspect concern the hypothesis in which the patient, when he has risen, should then lay horizontally.
  • a purpose of the present invention is also that of obviating the above mentioned drawbacks.
  • the frame is provided with extractable ends, as footboard supports, obtaining a bed lengthened shape, unusual respect to the standard dimensions, as well as, always for what concerns the footboard, to that a comfortable shelf with relative side for the blanket holding is provided, thus always remaining at hand's reach.
  • Such condition results particularly useful both when the bed is moving, and when it is stopped.
  • the blankets are not uncomfortable for the patient, while in the traditional solutions, the nurse had to lay them on the bed and thus on the same patient, causing him much unease and pain and increasing the sheets weight.
  • they are visible and always ready to use, also in rooms without available cabinets, avoiding the nurses or the assistants to make difficult researches.
  • the shape of the sole bed-plane is particularly designed for giving a better ergonomics, easing the surfaces aeration with the advantage of the patient's correct rest.
  • a bed (A) particularly intended for the hospital sector, is essentially made up of a frame (1), consisting of two parallel longitudinal members (1 1 ), whose ends, placed perpendicularly, respectively engage a headboard (2) and a footboard (3). Said frame, is provided with a dynamical end, meaning that it may allow the bed (A) lengthening, by pulling the footboard (3) toward itself, from a position (b) to a more backed position (b 1 ).
  • This is made possible, providing the interaction, provided in correspondence of one end of the longitudinal members (1 1 ), of two longitudinal member segments (1 2 ), which being coaxial are extractable from the first ones, engaging the footboard (3).
  • Some locking means, not shown, or other similar means aimed at increasing the friction in order to stabilise said footboard (3) position, once the desired distance is reached, may be provided co-operating with them.
  • a base cross member (4) with a panel overhanging the same(5). While the cross member (4), provides the "C" shaped ends (4 1 ), the upper panel (5) has on the side some rounded handles (5 1 ), between which a full centre portion (6) is interplaced.
  • said full centre portion (6) on the panel extrados, realises a blanket holding plane (6 1 ), being of the hinged type, along the base, to said centre portion (6) or providing suitable reciprocal joint means, in this case for being removed.
  • the panel (5) joining to the lower cross member (4) is ensured by two pins (7), one for each side and rather developed, which are vertically inserted with one end along the panel (5) ends, on the other side they coaxially concern a bushing (8), which crossing said "C" shaped ends (4 1 ), holds in place some wheels (9) which being protruding have the function of buffers.
  • a bed-plane (a 1 ) is associated, which is aimed at supporting the patient during the interposition of a suitable mattress.
  • Said bed-plane (a 1 ) is substantially made up of four elements, interconnected to one another, and respectively a first one, rather wide (10 1 ) made up of the back element, a second one (10 2 ), made up of the fixed centre element, a third one (10 3 ), made up of the relax element, and finally a fourth element (10 4 ), made up of the foot element.
  • All four of these elements may be of the type obtained by plastic material moulding, and include on the surface some lowered areas, co-operating with some openings, respectively, first cross members (11 1 ), interplaced, and openings (11 2 ) longitudinally developed next to the sides of said elements.
  • Each element is further provided along its sides of at least a corresponding handle (12), and only in the case of the foot element (10 4 ), the end transversal section, is in contact with a raising (13) which acts as a stop at least for the mattress, avoiding the same to slide when, said bed-plane (a 1 ) results tilted.
  • the centre element (10 2 ) is fixed being engaged to the frame longitudinal members (1 1 ). Respect to the same (10 2 ) a first element, so called back (10 1 ) is hinged which results thus liftable from a horizontal plane to a tilted plane with maximum opening corner of about 70°.
  • a relax element (10 3 ) which is also movable from a horizontal plane to a tilted plane with maximum opening corner of about 40°, in opposition respect to the back element (10 1 ) is hinged.
  • the fourth element (10 4 or foot element.
  • said bed-plane (a 1 ) is supported by lateral sides (16). More in detail, said sides (16) are four, placed two by two and opposite to one another, touching the longitudinal side both of the back element (10 1 ) and of the foot element (10 4 ). Even more in detail, on the back element underlying side (10 1 ), and on the foot element (10 4 ) underlying side, some arms (14), respectively a couple of arms (14), for each longitudinal side, both of the back element (10 1 ) and, still, of the foot element (10 4 ) are externally fulcrumed.
  • each arm (14) hinging to the sub-structure of the concerned elements is obtained by the localised interposition of a "U" shaped bracket (15), previously fixed on the concerned element extrados and along the edge.
  • the lower end of each arm (14), being substantially “L” shaped transversally contacts said "U” shaped bracket (15), and being it restrained by restraining means, consequently allows its rotation.
  • the two arms (14) which support the corresponding side (16) obtain a kind of parallelogram, allowing the side (16) to be moved, always horizontally, from a low position to a high one, passing through an intermediate position.
  • a bed base (a 2 ) of the movable type.
  • This latter rather dimensionally reduced and widely retained within the limits defined by the bed-plane (a 1 ) perimeter, provides a longitudinally developed centre portion (17) inside or under which some electromechanical movement mechanisms, which determine the movement, also independent or synchronous of two articulations, (18) and (18 1 ) which respectively support the front and back part of the bed-plane (a 1 ) frame (1) group, are provided associated.
