Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lifting mechanism for height adjustment a support, seat or work surface, a device, toilet seat or the like, in particular a washstand, below summarized called support plate, which over one of an apron covered parallelogram structure on a vertical Carrier, a wall or the like can be fixed, wherein the lifting mechanism completely or the weight of the support plate largely absorbing energy storage and a locking mechanism for locking the support plate in their respective Has height use position.
  • the parallelogram structure consists of at least a pair of the same length, arranged in parallel one above the other Poor.
  • the lift mechanism is by a coil spring or a gas pressure spring formed, which is also an Elockier Surprise may have a holding the sink in different heights.
  • the entire lifting mechanism is below a wash basin to which an apron is attached is the parts of the under the sink Covers the lifting mechanism.
  • the sink has a parallelogram structure in their highest position the lowest and in their middle position the greatest horizontal distance from the vertical Wall or the like. Attitude to different Heights allow adaptation to that for adults and to that z. B. suitable working height for children but also for height adjustment for sick people or people in wheelchairs. such Height-adjustable washbasins are therefore preferred in hotels and hospitals.
  • the invention has for its object to a lifting mechanism develop that generally for height adjustment of a support, Seat or work surface, a device, a toilet seat, a washstand or the like can serve.
  • the Lifting mechanism especially for wheelchair users when seated give sufficient leg room.
  • one should Risk of injury due to intervention in the lifting mechanism become.
  • the energy accumulator also rod-shaped, parallel to the locking mechanism arranged and also with its lower end on said Holder and with its upper end on the front panel mentioned is articulated.
  • a housing accommodating the parallelogram structure, the one back plate facing the wall or the like, one of these opposite front plate, an upper cover plate and one includes left and right bottom plates, the plates over a hinge is connected to each other. Intended is preferably additionally a front cover, which in its lower area is attached to said holder and with its free upper end between the two base plates is inserted. To facilitate access to the lifting mechanism it is useful if the cover on the above Holder is pivotally pivoted forward.
  • the support plate thus changes in its height adjustment their horizontal distance from the vertical beam or the wall to which the lifting mechanism is attached. Yet the lifting mechanism remains fully comprehensive in every height position enclosed and covered by housing and wall parts. On unwanted external access is therefore excluded.
  • the advantage of a low installation depth of the lifting mechanism is - in Seen from the front - the oblique arrangement of the parallelogram structure locking mechanism and the energy accumulator, in the housing enclosing the lifting mechanism z. B. from bottom left to top right.
  • a sink 1 is a not shown Height-adjustable lifting mechanism on a vertical wall 2 attached.
  • the lifting mechanism is housed in a housing that a back plate 3 facing the wall 2, one opposite this, front panel 4 firmly connected to the wash basin 1, an upper cover plate 5 and a left and a right base plate 6 includes.
  • These plates 3, 4, 5 and 6 are each over a hinge 7 is connected to one another (see in particular FIG 5).
  • a front cover 8 is also provided, which in its lower area on a holder 9 (see in particular FIG 5) is pivoted forward, which in turn on the wall 2 is attached.
  • the side cover of the lifting mechanism is made from Slats existing side panels that face each other FIGS. 1 and 2 on an enlarged scale FIGS. 7 and 8 have it removed.
  • Each side panel is made up of five slats 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 formed with each other via joints 15 are connected.
  • a wall-side, substantially vertically extending lamella 10 which the wall 2 or the back plate 3 of the housing is attached.
  • One opposite the wall-side lamella 10, likewise vertically arranged slat 11 is with the sink 1 or but connected to the front panel 4 of the housing.
  • the two Slats 10, 11 are at their upper ends via a transverse slat 12 and at their lower ends via a parallel to this lower transverse lamella 13 lying in parallelogram shape with one another connected, covering the interior of this parallelogram a middle lamella 14 is also provided.
  • Figures 1 to 3 and 7 and 8 show that the slats 10 to 14 are articulated so that they in the highest position of the wash basin 1 ( Figures 1 and 7) and in the lowest position of the wash basin 1 ( Figure 3) one narrow parallelogram-shaped side panel and in the middle Position ( Figures 2 and 8) a fan-like in width pull apart, approximately rectangular side panel.
  • Figures 1 to 3 also show that the sink 1 in its height adjustment with different horizontal Distance to wall 2 moves. This distance is in the highest position ( Figure 1) lowest and in the middle Position ( Figure 2) largest. This gives e.g. a wheelchair user, who uses the sink 1 while sitting, a sufficient one Legroom.
  • FIG 4 shows in a representation according to Figure 1 a modified Embodiment in which the lifting mechanism instead of Wash basin 1 a toilet seat 16 is attached.
  • the lifting mechanism essentially serves as a stand-up aid for elderly or disabled people.
  • the lifting mechanism includes a rod-shaped and variable in length trained locking mechanism, which is a rack 17 includes telescopic in a tube 18 and in their respective insertion position can be locked by a releasable lock is.
  • the latter is formed by one in the drawing Cheek 19, not shown, under the action of a not shown in the drawing spring in the rack 17 engages locking and from this locking position can be lifted out by actuating a release lever 20, the one with the jaw 19 via a Bowden cable 21 in kinematic Connection is established.
  • the rack 17 is at its lower end Articulated via a hinge 22 to the holder 9, while the Rack associated tube 18 with its upper end over a Joint 23 is articulated on the front plate 4.
  • the lifting mechanism also includes the weight of the sink 1 or the like fully or largely absorbing energy storage 24, which is also rod-shaped and variable in length is parallel to the locking mechanism 17, 18 and also with its lower end via a joint 25 on the Holder 9 and with its upper end via a hinge 26 on the Front plate 4 is articulated.
