Description
L'invention est relative à un siège transformable en fauteuil roulant et à un équipement de véhicule pour assurer le transfert et la fixation dudit siège pour handicapé.The invention relates to a convertible seat wheelchair and vehicle equipment for ensure the transfer and fixing of said seat for disabled.
On connaít déjà de nombreux équipements et dispositifs pour faciliter le transfert d'un handicapé dans son siège en soulageant le personnel d'accompagnement de tout effort physique.We already know a lot of equipment and devices to facilitate the transfer of a disabled person in their seat by relieving the support staff from any physical effort.
Ainsi, FR-A-2572691 décrit des moyens de transfert comprenant :
- un siège dont la structure portant l'assise et le dossier peut être désolidarisée des roues avant et des roues arrière, et éventuellement du marchepied,
- un bras composé de plusieurs éléments articulés autour d'axes verticaux et dont celui antérieur est muni de moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires portés par le siège,
- et un coulisseau qui, mobile sur une colonne verticale disposée dans le véhicule, est lié au bras et est relié à un vérin vertical à vis, assurant les déplacements verticaux du bras par rapport à la colonne.
- a seat whose structure carrying the seat and the backrest can be separated from the front wheels and the rear wheels, and possibly from the step,
- an arm composed of several elements articulated around vertical axes and of which the anterior one is provided with attachment means able to cooperate with complementary means carried by the seat,
- and a slide which, movable on a vertical column arranged in the vehicle, is linked to the arm and is connected to a vertical screw jack, ensuring the vertical movements of the arm relative to the column.
Pour transférer un handicapé dans un véhicule avec ce dispositif, le bras est d'abord pivoté transversalement et développé pour faire saillie à travers l'ouverture de là porte du véhicule, puis est abaissé au-dessous du niveau du siège du fauteuil roulant, de manière à pouvoir être coiffé par lui lorsque ce siège est reculé. Après que le bras ait été élevé pour venir en contact avec le fond du siège, et après actionnement de moyens liant le bras au siège, une nouvelle élévation de faible valeur permet de décaler les roues du sol en vue de leur extraction. To transfer a disabled person in a vehicle with this device, the arm is first pivoted transversely and developed to protrude through the opening of there vehicle door and then is lowered below the level of the wheelchair seat, so that be capped by him when this seat is moved back. After the arm was raised to come into contact with the bottom of the seat, and after actuation of means connecting the arm to the seat, a new low value elevation allows shift the wheels off the ground for removal.
Il peut alors être procédé au transfert du handicapé sur son siège par nouveau déplacement vertical du bras, repliement des éléments de celui-ci et pivotement de l'ensemble dans le véhicule, à travers l'ouverture prévue pour la porte.The transfer of the disabled in his seat by new vertical displacement of the arm, folding of the elements thereof and pivoting of the assembly in the vehicle, through the opening provided for the door.
Indépendamment de la nécessité, pendant la phase de départ, d'avoir recours à deux personnes pour, respectivement, immobiliser le bras, en empêchant que sa grande mobilité perturbe l'accrochage de son extrémité avec le siège, et contrôler cet accrochage, un tel équipement présente l'inconvénient de posséder une course verticale qui est trop limitée vers le bas. En effet, en raison de la structure des moyens assurant les déplacements verticaux, le bras ne peut pas descendre au-dessous du niveau du plancher du véhicule. Il en résulte qu'il ne peut être mis en place que dans les voitures légères et non dans les véhicules qui, dénommés monospace, ont un plancher surélevé de 15 cm et dont le niveau vertical est bien supérieur à celui du fond du siège d'un fauteuil roulant.Regardless of the need, during the phase of departure, to have recourse to two people to, respectively, immobilize the arm, preventing its high mobility disrupts the attachment of its end with the seat, and control this attachment, such equipment has the disadvantage of having a race vertical which is too limited down. Indeed, in because of the structure of the means ensuring vertical movements, the arm cannot go down below the vehicle floor level. It As a result, it can only be installed in the light cars and not in vehicles which, referred to as minivan, have a 15 cm raised floor and the vertical level is much higher than that of the bottom of the wheelchair seat.
Le dispositif décrit dans FR-A-2699129 se différencie par la structure de transfert comprenant, d'une part, un bras coudé dont l'extrémité libre est munie de moyens d'accrochage aptes à coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires du siège et dont l'autre extrémité est solidaire d'un coulisseau déplaçable sur un bras pivotant et, d'autre part, un châssis sur lequel le bras pivotant est articulé et qui est lui-même porté par des moyens de déplacement vertical composés de deux paires de biellettes et d'un vérin à vis électrique.The device described in FR-A-2699129 is differentiates by the transfer structure comprising, on the one hand, a bent arm whose free end is provided attachment means capable of cooperating with means complementary to the seat and the other end of which is secured to a slide movable on a pivoting arm and, on the other hand, a frame on which the pivoting arm is articulated and which is itself carried by means of vertical displacement composed of two pairs of rods and an electric screw jack.
Dans ce dispositif, le châssis assure uniquement les déplacements verticaux tandis que les déplacements dans le plan horizontal sont réalisés par le bras pivotant et par le bras coudé coulissant. In this device, the chassis ensures only vertical displacements while displacements in the horizontal plane are made by the pivoting arm and by the sliding bent arm.
Comme précédemment, ce dispositif n'est pas applicable aux véhicules de type monospace à plancher surélevé.As before, this device is not applicable to minivan type vehicles with floor raised.
Par ailleurs, ces dispositifs sont conçus pour permettre de positionner le siège transféré à côté du conducteur d'un véhicule à deux portes latérales, c'est-à-dire à un véhicule comportant des passages de porte ayant une ouverture de l'ordre de 1,10 mètre, mais ne sont pas utilisables pour les véhicules à quatre portes et pour tous les véhicules ayant des ouvertures de largeur inférieure à la valeur ci-dessus. En effet, avec des portes plus étroites, lors du pivotement du siège dans l'habitacle, la trajectoire des genoux du handicapé assis sur le siège sécante, dans le cas d'une ouverture pour porte avant, la saillie formée à l'intérieur du véhicule par le débordement du tableau de bord, et, dans le cas de l'ouverture pour une porte arrière, le montant de porte, ce qui gêne ce pivotement et parfois même le rend impossible.Furthermore, these devices are designed to allow the transferred seat to be positioned next to the driver of a vehicle with two side doors, i.e. to a vehicle with doorways having an opening of the order of 1.10 meters, but are not suitable for four-door vehicles and for all vehicles with wide openings lower than the above value. Indeed, with narrower doors, when pivoting the seat in the passenger compartment, the trajectory of the knees of the seated disabled person on the secant seat, in the case of an opening for front door, the projection formed inside the vehicle by the overflow of the dashboard, and, in the case of the opening for a rear door, the door jamb, what hinders this pivoting and sometimes even makes it impossible.
La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif de transfert qui, montable sur tout véhicule et y compris sur les monospaces plus hauts de plancher, permet de transférer le siège du fauteuil roulant depuis l'extérieur, soit en place avant soit en place médiane, en passant à travers une ouverture latérale, autre que la porte avant, et cela sans aucun effort pour l'unique personne assurant l'assistance nécessaire.The object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages by providing a device for transfer which, mountable on any vehicle and including on the higher floor minivans, allows transfer the wheelchair seat from the outside, either in the front position or in the middle position, in passing through a side opening, other than the front door, and this without any effort for the single person providing the necessary assistance.
A cet effet, dans le siège et l'équipement selon l'invention, le bras de la structure de transfert, d'une part, porte un coulisseau, déplaçable horizontalement et portant les moyens de positionnement et d'accrochage du siège, et, d'autre part, est articulé par son extrémité antérieure et autour d'un axe vertical sur le petit montant vertical des moyens intermédiaires de déplacement, ces moyens comprenant, en complément de ce montant, deux bielles parallèles dont les extrémités sont articulées, d'un côté, sur ce petit montant vertical, et de l'autre côté, sur un grand montant vertical, lui-même articulé sur la colonne verticale, tandis que le vérin, de type électrique, est articulé, autour d'un axe horizontal et par l'un de ses éléments, à l'extrémité supérieure du grand montant vertical et, par son autre élément, et autour d'un autre axe horizontal, sur le petit montant, et que le véhicule est muni en place avant et/ou en place médiane, d'un socle de positionnement du siège.For this purpose, in the seat and equipment according to the invention, the arm of the transfer structure, of a hand, carries a slide, horizontally movable and carrying the positioning and attachment means of the seat, and, on the other hand, is articulated by its end anterior and around a vertical axis on the small vertical upright of the intermediate displacement means, these means comprising, in addition to this amount, two parallel connecting rods whose ends are articulated, on one side, on this small vertical upright, and on the other side, on a large vertical upright, itself hinged on the vertical column, while the cylinder, type electric, is articulated around a horizontal axis and by one of its elements, at the upper end of the large vertical upright and, by its other element, and around another horizontal axis, on the small upright, and the vehicle is fitted in place before and / or in place middle, of a seat positioning base.
Ainsi, lorsque le bras est pivoté hors du véhicule, les moyens assurant ses déplacements verticaux sont, au moins en partie, hors du véhicule et peuvent, grâce à leur composition et leur disposition, amener ce bras à un niveau inférieur à celui du plancher du véhicule, de manière que ce bras soit au-dessous du niveau du fond du siège d'un fauteuil roulant. Après les manoeuvres de fixation du siège sur les moyens d'accrochage du bras, de déconnexion des roues et d'élévation du siège, les moyens de déplacement vertical du bras et les moyens de translation du bras permettent d'amener le siège, soit sur le socle disposé en place avant, soit sur le socle disposé en place médiane. Par ailleurs, grâce à la possibilité de coulissement des moyens d'accrochage du siège sur le bras et à la structure des moyens de déplacement vertical du bras, le passage du handicapé sur son fauteuil à travers l'ouverture de la porte s'effectue très aisément.So when the arm is pivoted out of the vehicle, the means ensuring its vertical movements are, at least in part, out of the vehicle and may, thanks to their composition and their layout, bring this arms lower than the floor of the vehicle, so that this arm is below the level from the bottom of a wheelchair seat. After the maneuvers for fixing the seat on the means arm hooking, wheel disconnection and seat elevation, vertical displacement means of the arm and the means of translation of the arm allow to bring the seat, either on the base arranged in place front, either on the base arranged in the middle position. Through elsewhere, thanks to the possibility of sliding means for attaching the seat to the arm and to the structure means of vertical movement of the arm, the passage of the disabled in his chair through the opening of the door is very easy.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution de cet équipement dans le cas de son application à un véhicule monospace comportant une porte coulissante latérale.Other features and benefits will emerge from the description which follows with reference to attached schematic drawing showing by way of example an embodiment of this equipment in the case of its application to a minivan vehicle having a door sliding side.

est articulé par un axe horizontal 42 à la partie
supérieure du grand montant 27, et dont l'autre élément,
et par exemple la tige, est articulée, par un axe 43, à
proximité de l'extrémité supérieure du petit montant 26.The intermediate means 4 for moving the arm
which have just been described are supplemented by a jack
electric 40 including an element, for example the body,
is articulated by a
Chacun des socles B1 et B2 est relié au plancher 2
par des moyens de fixation et de verrouillage saillant
vers le bas et coopérant avec les puits d'ancrage 38
ménagés dans le plancher pour l'ancrage des sièges
amovibles du véhicule. Comme le montrent les figures 6 et
7, ce socle B1 comporte un guide 70 présentant une section
transversale en "U" dont les ailes latérales sont
précédées par un évasement d'entrée 72 (fig. 7). Les
parties avant des ailes sont reliées par une traverse 73.
Ce socle B1 est solidaire de deux pattes latérales 74,
dont une est visible figure 3, munies d'encoches 75
débouchant sur l'arrière. L'une au moins de ces pattes est
munie d'un verrou articulé 76.Each of the bases B1 and B2 is connected to the
Le socle B2, montré aux figures 1, 3 et 4,
comporte également un guide antérieur 47 et, dans sa
partie postérieure, deux fourchettes verticales 48
équipées chacune de moyens de verrouillage 49,
déverrouillables par une commande manuelle 50.The B2 base, shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4,
also includes an
Cet équipement de transfert est destiné à coopérer
avec un fauteuil roulant dont la structure de siège 13 est
solidaire, dans sa partie postérieure, d'un axe traversant
52 dont les parties débordant latéralement servent à la
fixation amovible des roues arrière 53 du fauteuil
roulant. Les roues avant 54 sont solidaires chacune d'un
support 55 qui est fixé, de manière amovible, dans un
palier ménagé sous la partie avant du siège et équipé de
moyens de blocage..This transfer equipment is intended to cooperate
with a wheelchair whose
Pour amener la structure de siège 13 portant
l'handicapé de l'extérieur du véhicule sur l'un ou l'autre
des socles B1 et B2, il faut d'abord, en partant de la
position de l'équipement représentée à la figure 1,
alimenter le vérin électrique 40 de manière qu'il soulève
le bras 3 par rapport au socle B1 ou B2 dans lequel il est
immobilisé, puis faire pivoter l'ensemble de la structure
de transfert à la faisant passer à travers l'ouverture 36
pour la porte, de manière à amener le bras 3 et une partie
du parallélogramme à l'extérieur du véhicule. Dans cette
position, le vérin électrique 40 est alimenté en sens
inverse, de manière à provoquer l'abaissement du bras 3
au-dessous du niveau du plancher 2 du véhicule, jusqu'à
veni dans la position représentée par le trait mixte 60 à
la figure 4, position dans laquelle le bras 3 est
positionné verticalement à un niveau inférieur à celui du
fond de la structure de siège 13 du fauteuil roulant.To bring the
Cet abaissement du bras est facilité par la
cambrure 33 de la bielle 29 qui, en chevauchant le seuil
de porte, permet au montant 26 du parallélogramme de
descendre plus bas, sans être gêné par butée de cette
bielle avec le seuil.Pendant cette manoeuvre, et comme
montré en P1 à la figure 5, le bras 3 est pivoté
manuellement de manière à être sensiblement
perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du véhicule.This lowering of the arm is facilitated by the
A ce stade, et comme dans les dispositifs
antérieurs, le fauteuil roulant est reculé pour venir
chevaucher le bras 3, puis le vérin 40 est alimenté pour
provoquer l'élévation du bras 3 et l'engagement de son
coulisseau 5 dans la rainure 10 du fauteuil. Après
verrouillage du doigt 16, le bras 3 est relevé, de l'ordre
de 1 cm, pour permettre le démontage des roues 53 et 54,
et il est alors procédé à son élévation, sur toute la
course verticale ascendante jusqu'au niveau du trait mixte
62 représenté à la figure 4, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à un
niveau dans lequel le bras est au-dessus du plancher 2 du
véhicule d'une valeur de l'ordre de 200 mm.At this stage, and as in the devices
wheelchair is moved back to come
overlap the
Pendant cette élévation, le parallélogramme peut
être pivoté par rapport à la colonne 35 de manière à
faciliter la pénétration dans le véhicule du bras 3
portant le siège 13 et la personne handicapée. Durant ce
pivotement, le coulisseau 6 est ramené et verrouillé dans
sa position arrière, par coopération du doigt 19 avec
l'alésage 23, de manière à limiter le rayon de pivotement
et faciliter le passage à travers la porte.During this elevation, the parallelogram can
be rotated relative to
Si l'handicapé désire être mis en place à côté du
conducteur, le bras est amené dans la position P2 de
figure 5, en procédant d'abord à l'abaissement du bras 3
puis à son déplacement longitudinal de manière que sa
patte 9 pénètre dans le guide 70 du socle B1.
Simultanément, le coulisseau 5 est déplacé sur l'avant
pour que les extrémités de l'axe 52 des roues arrière de
la structure de siège 13 s'engagent dans les encoches 75
des pattes 74 du socle. Après verrouillage par le verrou
76, le siège est parfaitement positionné sur le socle.
Dans cette position de transport, le coulisseau reste
verrouillé sous le siège.If the disabled person wishes to be placed next to the
conductor, the arm is brought into position P2 of
Figure 5, by first lowering the
Si l'handicapé désire être disposé en position
médiane, ou si le véhicule ne comporte qu'un socle B2, le
bras 3 est amené dans la position P3 à la figure 5,
position dans laquelle le bras 3 est abaissé avec le
coulisseau rétracté vers l'arrière, de manière que l'axe
traversant 52 vienne s'engager dans les fourchettes 48,
tandis que simultanément la patte 9 pénètre dans le guide
47. A la fin du mouvement de descente, les verrous 49 sont
verrouillés et le coulisseau est laissé en l'état.If the disabled person wishes to be placed in position
median, or if the vehicle only has a B2 base, the
Il est évident qu'il suffit de procéder de façon inverse pour transférer le siège hors du véhicule à partir de l'un ou l'autre des socles B1 ou B2.It is obvious that it suffices to proceed in a reverse to transfer the seat out of the vehicle from either of the bases B1 or B2.
