Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a miniramp built in modules as a walking- or driving ramp, as aptation for handicapped people preferably at balconies or terraces having comparatively narrow surrounding surfaces.
  • Ramps with rest surfaces are in most cases a prerequisite for allowing handicapped persons to keep their personal ability to move when they are dependent on means of assistance such as a wheel-chair or a walking frame.
  • the miniramp By being built from two entrance ramps of standard kind, the miniramp gives an extremely favourable synergetic effect using a minimum amount of adaptation components. Since the constructional and functional requirements on such equipment are very high, not least bearing in mind that they primarily are to be used by people being handicapped, this is an essential advantage which can not be despised. Since a couple of years there are also requirements on possibilities to reuse equipment of this kind when they are no longer needed at a certain location. It is true that this mainly is a question of economy of the local government, but it is certainly a question of significance for the potential of the invention on the market. The mini-ramp with its rest-plane will completely eliminate the step normally existing between most balcony/terrace entrances, which for obvious reasons cannot be passed by people being dependent of aids of said kind.
  • each entrance ramp portion Being built from metal profiles and expanded metal of standard dimensions, the arrangement becomes cheap to manufacture, while the requirements regarding the quality are maintained with interest.
  • the side edges of each entrance ramp portion are to some extension obliquely cut in relation to the driving surface of the ramp. Hereby the adaptation between the ramp portion and ground or floor surface is simplified.
  • the part of the compounded arrangement acting as a restplane has furthermore been provided with a security edge, making it impossible to pass the edge of the ramp.
  • a security edge By arranging this edge, at a part normally supposed to act as an entrance edge, at least one of the at least two necessary fasteners for the part of the compounded arrangement acting as an entrance ramp are achieved.
  • the buyers of equipment of the said kind are mainly local authorities, the demand being strongly accelerating. This probably depends on still increasing homecare.
  • the demand is thereby directed towards an arrangement which is safely built, simple to assemble and disassemble being at the same time adaptable, and during best circumstances useful in different contexts. This is all achieved by the arrangement according to the present invention.
  • the invention lies in the knowledge to combine two entrance ramps of the kind shown in Fig. 1 in the described way to thereby constitute a so called miniramp.
  • Fig. 1 shows how an entrance ramp 1 is arranged in its normal use.
  • the ramp may be fixed to a door threshold 3 present, using one or more bolts (not shown). This may be achieved by making the threshold fixation so slender that it can be situated between a door 4 the threshold 3 in a door opening.
  • the side edges of the entrance ramp are at its front portions in the direction of entrance obliquely cut along approximately one third of the length of the edges, the purpose of which is to make it easier to connect the inclination of the entrance ramp to a floor or a ground surface.
  • the entrance ramp 1 is generally seen manufactured from steel or beam profiles, the main plane 6 of the ramp being a plane consisting of expanded metal.
  • Fig. 2 shows as well, how according to the invention two elements 7, 8 originally built as entrance ramps 1 are combined in order to create a so called miniramp 9.
  • the first element 7, or the part constituting a rest plane surface is to be able to function as intended provided with a security edge 11.
  • the security edge 11 is fixed using bolts (not shown) at the part of the element 7, which in its normal function is supposed to act as an entrance edge.
  • the security edge 11 also comprises the function to keep the rest surface portion 7 horizontal by being provided with two tapped mounts 12 in which support legs 12 are vertically adjustable.
  • the support leg 12 is contained in a tapped ear 7 on the security edge 11.
  • At one of the side edges of the rest surface portion 7 yet another element or entrance ramp 8 has been arranged in order to make it possible to use a wheel-chair or a walking frame to get down to the ground or a balcony-/terrace floor 13 after turning thereof.
