Zudem sind diese teuer in der Anschaffung und lassen sich schlecht händeln. Ferner sind diese nicht immer standfest ausgebildet.A disadvantage of the conventional and available on the market Bath tub lifter is that these are often caused by too high Weight of the user is damaged during operation, are bad and expensive to disassemble, they should are no longer needed. They are also expensive to buy Acquisition and difficult to handle. Furthermore are these are not always stable.

Aus der GB 2 014 446 A ist ein Badewannenlifter aufgezeigt und beschrieben, wobei entlang eines Sitzgestelles ein Sitzelement linear bewegbar ist. Zwischen der Unterseite des Sitzelementes und einer Grundplatte ist ein aufblasbarer oder aufpumpbarer Balg vorgesehen, der dem linearen Bewegen und Antreiben des Sitzelementes dient.From GB 2 014 446 A a bath tub lifter is shown and described, wherein along a seat frame Seat element is linearly movable. Between the bottom the seat element and a base plate is a inflatable or inflatable bellows provided that the linear movement and driving of the seat element is used.

Die EP 1 057 467 beschreibt eine Ein- und Ausstiegshilfe für eine Badewanne, bei welcher an einem starren, einer Badewanne zugeordneten Gestell ein Sitzelement auf- und abfahrbar ist. EP 1 057 467 describes an entry and exit aid for a bathtub where one is rigid, one Bathtub associated frame a seat element on and is drivable.

Eine ähnliche Ein- und Ausstiegshilfe für eine Badewanne zeigt die WO 00 74624 Al, bei welcher entlang eines starren Grundträgers ein Sitzelement linear auf- und abbewegbar ist.A similar entry and exit aid for a bathtub shows WO 00 74624 A1, in which along a rigid Basic carrier a seat element can be moved up and down linearly is.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Badewannenlifter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welchem die genannten Nachteile beseitigt und mit welchem auf einfache Weise das Handling eines derartigen Badewannenlifters im Betrieb sowie auch für einen Transport erheblich vereinfacht und verbessert werden soll. Ferner soll auch insbesondere ein Langzeitbetrieb des Badewannenlifters bei hoher Sicherheit und Stabilität gewährleistet werden können.The present invention is based on the object To create bath tub lifters of the type mentioned at the beginning, which eliminates the disadvantages mentioned and with which the handling of such a simple Bathtub lifters in operation as well as for transport should be significantly simplified and improved. Further In particular, long-term operation of the Bathtub lifters with high security and stability can be guaranteed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe führen die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 sowie die Merkmale des nebengeordneten Patentanspruches 2. The characteristics of the Claim 1 and the features of the sibling Claim 2.

Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist das Sitzelement gegenüber einem Grundträger linear verfahrbar, wobei der Grundträger insbesondere über eine Grundplatte gegenüber der Bodenplatte verschwenkbar gelagert ist.In the present invention, the seat element linearly movable with respect to a base support, the Base carrier in particular across a base plate the base plate is pivotally mounted.

Dieses Verschwenken der Grundplatte gegenüber einem in der Grundplatte bewegbar gelagerten Schiebeschlitten und das Verschwenken des Grundträgers gegenüber der Grundplatte gewährleistet, dass gleichzeitig ein Neigen der. Rückenlehne im abgesengten Zustand des Sitzelementes gewährleistet wird.This pivoting of the base plate against one in the Base plate movably mounted sliding carriage and that Swiveling the base support in relation to the base plate ensures that at the same time a tilt of the. Backrest in the lowered state of the seat element is guaranteed.

Dabei ist das Sitzelement linear entlang des Grundträgers über einen Schlitten verfahrbar, welcher über eine Antriebseinrichtung angetrieben ist. Diese Antriebseinrichtung steht nicht nur mit dem Schlitten, sondern auch mit der Grundplatte gelenkig in Verbindung. Ferner ist eine Sitzplatte gegenüber einer Rückenlehne verschwenkbar gelagert.The seat element is linear along the base support movable over a sled, which over a Drive device is driven. This The drive device is not only with the slide, but also articulated in connection with the base plate. Furthermore, a seat plate is opposite a backrest pivoted.

Nach einem vollständigen Absenken der Sitzplatte gegenüber dem Grundträger lässt sich der Grundträger mit dem Schlitten sowie auch mit der Antriebseinrichtung nach hinten um einen definierbaren Winkel neigen, wobei die Sitzplatte von dieser Bewegung entkoppelt ist. Diese verbleibt in etwa parallel zur Bodenplatte. Somit lässt sich das Sitzelement in die Badewanne gegen die Bodenplatte einfahren und anschliessend lässt sich die Rückenlehne des Sitzelementes sowie der Grundträger selbst, der das Sitzelement nach oben und nach unten bewegt, nach hinten verschwenken. Gleichfalls wird auch die Antriebseinrichtung nach hinten geneigt. After completely lowering the seat plate opposite the basic carrier can be the basic carrier with the Carriage as well as with the drive device incline at the rear by a definable angle, whereby the Seat plate is decoupled from this movement. This remains approximately parallel to the base plate. So lets the seat element in the bathtub against the Retract the base plate and then the Backrest of the seat element and the basic carrier itself, the seat element up and down moved, swivel backwards. Likewise, too the drive device is inclined to the rear.

Wird der Badewannenlifter nicht mehr verwendet, so wird der Grundträger wieder in seine ursprüngliche Ausgangslage zurückbewegt, anschliessend das Sitzelement leicht angehoben und die Sitzplatte gegen die Rückenlehne verschwenkt.If the bath tub lifter is no longer used, then the basic carrier back to its original position moved back, then the seat element slightly raised and the seat plate against the backrest pivoted.

Dann wird die in der Bodenplatte festgelegte Grundplatte, die zwar gelenkig gegenüber dem Schiebeschlitten gelagert ist, aus einer stirnseitigen Rastnut der Bodenplatte durch Verschieben herausbewegt, anschliessend um ein Gelenk zwischen Grundplatte und Schiebeschlitten vorzugsweise um etwa 90° verschwenkt, bis der Grundträger in etwa parallel zur Bodenplatte liegt. Dann sind Sitzplatte und Rückenlehne zwischen Grundträger und Bodenplatte zusammengeklappt. Anschliessend lässt sich der Grundträger mit anschliessender Grundplatte über den Schiebeschlitten gegen eine Stirnseite der Bodenplatte zurückbewegen, um insgesamt seine sehr geringe Transportlänge zu erhalten.Then the base plate fixed in the base plate, which are articulated in relation to the sliding carriage is from a front locking groove of the base plate Moved out, then around a joint between base plate and sliding carriage preferably around pivoted about 90 ° until the base support is approximately parallel to the base plate. Then the seat plate and Backrest between base frame and base plate folded. Then the basic carrier can be removed with a subsequent base plate over the sliding carriage move back against an end face of the bottom plate to overall to get its very short transport length.

Insbesondere diese einzigartigen Bewegungsmöglichkeiten des Grundträgers, der einerseits nach hinten abkippbar ist, andererseits den Schlitten für das Sitzelement trägt und andererseits gegenüber der Bodenplatte, zur Erzielung einer Transportlage klappbar ist, zeichnen die vorliegende Erfindung aus. Gleichzeitig ist die Antriebseinrichtung entsprechend des Grundträgers nach hinten neigbar und auch gegenüber der Bodenplatte abklappbar.In particular, these unique possibilities of movement of the basic carrier, which on the one hand can be tipped backwards is, on the other hand carries the carriage for the seat element and on the other hand opposite the base plate, to achieve this a transport position is foldable, the present Invention from.

    Gleichzeitig beaufschlagt, wie insbesondere in Figur 3.5 hervorgeht, die letzte, um die Gelenkwelle 27 drehbar angeordnete Rolle 18 einen Schieber 33 der Verriegelungseinrichtung 23.At the same time, as shown in Figure 3.5 emerges, the last, rotatable about the drive shaft 27 arranged roller 18 a slide 33 of the Locking device 23.

    Dabei ist der Schlitten 7 mit seinem Gelenk 10 noch etwas höher, als das Gelenk 4 angeordnet, jedoch niedriger als in den Figuren 2.3 und 2.4.The carriage 7 with its joint 10 is still something higher than the hinge 4, but lower than in Figures 2.3 and 2.4.

    In den Figuren 4.1 bis 4.5 ist eine vollständig abgesenkte Gebrauchslage des Badewannenlifters R aufgezeigt. Dabei liegt stirnseitig die Sitzplatte 11 auf der Erhöhung 30 der Bodenplatte auf und wird dort gelagert. Dabei greifen die Gelenke 4 und 10 in den Bereich der Bodenplatte 1 ein.In Figures 4.1 to 4.5 is a completely lowered Use position of the bath lifter R shown. there the front of the seat plate 11 is on the elevation 30 the base plate and is stored there. Grab it the joints 4 and 10 in the area of the base plate 1.

    Dabei liegt der Schlitten 7 in einer Endlage auf einem Auflager 34 auf, wobei die Gelenke 4 sowie 10 von Grundplatte 3 und Schlitten 7 in etwa auf einer gleichen Höhe liegen.The carriage 7 is in an end position on one Support 34 on, the joints 4 and 10 of Base plate 3 and slide 7 approximately on the same Height.

    Ferner wird das Klemmelement 20 in der Zapfennut 28 mittels eingreifendem Zapfenelement 29 um die Gelenkwelle 27 derart verschwenkt, insbesondere über die endseits abgeknickte Zapfennut 28, so dass der Sitzplattenausleger 21 vollständig aus dem Eingriff und Bereich des Klemmelementes 20 gelangt. Hierdurch wird die Sitzplatte 11 gegenüber einer in den Figuren 5.1 bis 5.4 aufgezeigten Kippbewegung gegenüber der Kippbewegung von Schlitten 7 sowie Grundträger 5 entkoppelt. Die Sitzplatte 11 verbleibt parallel und unabhängig zu einer Kippbewegung des Grundträgers 5. Dabei übergreift die Gelenkwelle 27 das Führungselement 22 der Grundplatte 3.Furthermore, the clamping element 20 is in the pin groove 28 by means of an engaging pin element 29 around the drive shaft 27 pivoted in this way, in particular over the ends kinked pin groove 28 so that the seat plate extension 21 completely out of engagement and area of Clamping element 20 arrives. This will make the seat plate 11 compared to one shown in Figures 5.1 to 5.4 Tilting movement in relation to the tilting movement of slide 7 and decoupled base carrier 5. The seat plate 11 remains parallel and independent of a tilting movement of the base support 5. The drive shaft 27 overlaps the guide element 22 of the base plate 3.

    Gleichzeitig wird der Schieber 33 der Verriegelungseinrichtung 23 durch Beaufschlagung der Rolle 18, die auch den Schlitten 7 in dieser Lage in der Führungsnut 19 anschlagen lässt nach aussen bewegt und entriegelt die Verriegelungseinrichtung 23.At the same time the slide 33 is the Locking device 23 by acting on the roller 18, which also the carriage 7 in this position in the The guide groove 19 can be moved outwards and unlocks the locking device 23.

    Durch weiteres Gegeneinanderbewegen der Antriebseinrichtung 8 lässt sich dann der Grundträger 5 sowie Antriebseinrichtung 8 verschwenken, wobei die Antriebseinrichtung 8, wie in Figur 5.3 dargestellt ist, um das Gelenk 16 und der Schlitten 7 um das Gelenk 4 bzw. 10 verschwenkbar ist. Dabei wird über die Gelenkwelle 27 der Schlitten 7 und damit der Grundträger 5 entlang des Führungselementes 22 geführt. Somit wird der Grundträger 5 gegenüber der Grundplatte 3 um einen Winkel α, wie er insbesondere in Figur 1.4 angedeutet ist, verschwenkt und abgeneigt, wobei durch dieses Abneigen eine Bewegung der Sitzplatte 11 hierüber entkoppelt ist.By moving the The base device 5 can then be driven by the drive device 8 and drive device 8 pivot, the Drive device 8, as shown in Figure 5.3 around the joint 16 and the carriage 7 around the joint 4 or 10 is pivotable. The drive shaft 27 the carriage 7 and thus the base 5 along the Guide element 22 out. Thus, the basic carrier 5 relative to the base plate 3 by an angle α, as he is particularly indicated in Figure 1.4, pivoted and averse, with this aversion a movement of the Seat plate 11 is decoupled.

    Wie ferner aus Figur 5.3 ersichtlich ist, ist das Klemmelement 20 ausser Eingriff zum Sitzplattenausleger 21.As can also be seen from FIG. 5.3, this is Clamping element 20 out of engagement with the seat plate extension 21st

    Die Zylinder 15.1 und 15.2 der Antriebseinrichtung 8 sind vollständig ineinander eingefahren.The cylinders 15.1 and 15.2 of the drive device 8 are completely retracted.

    In dieser geneigten Lage lässt sich der Badewannenlifter R in der Badewanne in einer Endlage sehr gut und bequem zum Baden benutzen. Dabei kann die Rückenlehne 12, insbesondere deren Neigung im Winkel α je nach Bedarf geneigt werden.In this inclined position the bath tub lifter R in the bath in an end position very good and convenient for Use bathing. The backrest 12, especially their inclination at angle α as required be inclined.

    Ein weiterer Vorteil bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, wie oben schon erwähnt, eine äusserst vorteilhafte Transportlage, wie sie in den Figuren 6.1 bis 6.6 aufgezeigt ist. Dabei wird in oben beschriebender Weise aus einer Gebrauchslage heraus, wie sie bspw. in Figur 2.1 aufgezeigt ist, die Sitzplatte 11 um das Gelenk 10 gegenüber der Rückenlehne 12 verschenkt, dann der Schiebeschlitten 13 mit Grundplatte 3 aus der Rastnut 26 der Stirnseite 24 herausbewegt, so dass das Rastelement 25 der Grundplatte 3 freiliegt. Dann lässt sich die Grundplatte 3 gegenüber dem Schiebeschlitten 13 derart verschwenken, dass der Grundträger 5 in etwa parallel zur Bodenplatte 1 liegt. Ein anschliessendes Zurückschieben des Schiebeschlittens 13 mit seinem Gelenk 4 gegen die Stirnseite 24 der Bodenplatte 1 ermöglicht eine sehr kurze und kompakte Transportlage des Badewannenlifters R. Zu Transportzwecken lässt sich dieser dann einfach transportieren.Another advantage with the present invention is as mentioned above, an extremely advantageous one Transport position, as shown in Figures 6.1 to 6.6 is shown. This is done in the manner described above from a position of use, such as that shown in FIG. 2.1 is shown, the seat plate 11 around the joint 10 given away to the backrest 12, then the Sliding carriage 13 with base plate 3 from the locking groove 26 the end face 24 is moved out, so that the locking element 25th the base plate 3 is exposed. Then you can Base plate 3 relative to the sliding carriage 13 in this way pivot that the base support 5 approximately parallel to Base plate 1 is. A subsequent push back of the sliding carriage 13 with its joint 4 against the End face 24 of the base plate 1 enables a very short and compact transport position of the bath tub lifter R. This can then be easily used for transport purposes transport.

    In der perspektivischen Darstellung gemäss Figur 7.7 ist der Schlitten 7 mit Rückenlehne 12 dargestellt, wobei die beiden Auslegearme 50 in oben beschriebener Weise mit der Antriebseinrichtung verbunden sind. Seitlich an den Auslegearmen 50 des Schlittens 7 sind linear untereinander ein Mehrzahl von Rollen 18 angebracht, wobei diese innerhalb eines C-Profiles des Grundträgers 5 hin- und herbewegbar sind. Das Gelenk 10 verbindet schwenkbar die Sitzplatte 11 mit dem Schlitten 7, wobei der Anschlag 49 mit dem Klemmstück 46 in oben beschriebener Weise in Eingriff steht, um eine waagrechte Position der Sitzplatte 11 festzulegen bzw. einzustellen. In the perspective view according to Figure 7.7 is the carriage 7 shown with backrest 12, the two extension arms 50 in the manner described above with the Drive device are connected. On the side of the Extension arms 50 of the carriage 7 are linear with each other attached a plurality of rollers 18, these back and forth within a C-profile of the base support 5 can be moved here. The joint 10 pivotally connects the Seat plate 11 with the carriage 7, the stop 49 with the clamping piece 46 in the manner described above in Engagement is about a horizontal position of the seat plate 11 to set or set.

    Eine weitere Besonderheit der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, dass der obersten Rolle 18 eine nach oben gerichtete Abdeckung 51 zugeordnet ist, die verhindert, dass bspw. Gegenstände, Kleidungsstücke, Finger einer menschlichen Hand od. dgl. zwischen Rollen 18 und der hier nicht dargestellten C-Schiene bzw. Grundträger 5 eingeklemmt werden können.Another special feature of the present invention is that the top roller 18 has an upward Cover 51 is assigned, which prevents, for example. Objects, clothing, fingers of a human Hand or the like. Between rollers 18 and not here shown C-rail or base bracket 5 clamped can be.

    Ein weitere Unterschied des vorliegenden bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel zum oben beschriebenen ist in den folgenden Figuren 8.1 bis 8.5 aufgezeigt. Wichtig bei der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, dass lediglich ein Absenken des Sitzelementes 9 entlang des Grundträgers 5 in seiner etwa senkrechten Lage möglich ist. Hierzu schliesst an die Grundplatte 3 gelenkig gelagert um einen Bolzen 53 ein Riegel 52 an, wie er auch aus der perspektivischen Darstellung gemäss Figur 8.6 dargestellt ist. Der Bolzen 53 greift hier nicht dargestellt in den Grundträger 5 ein und ist dort gelagert.Another difference from the present preferred Embodiment to the above is in the following figures 8.1 to 8.5 shown. Important with the present invention is that just a lowering of the seat element 9 along the base support 5 in its approximately vertical position is possible. To this end, the Base plate 3 articulated around a bolt 53 Latch 52 on, as he also from the perspective Representation according to Figure 8.6 is shown. The bolt 53 engages in the base support 5, not shown here and is stored there.

    Der Riegel 52 ist ferner mit einer Nockenbahn 54 und Nockentasche 55 versehen, in welchem ein Kipphebel 56 gelagert ist. Einends des Kipphebels 56 greift ein Kipphebelbolzen 57 in die Nockentasche 55 ein. Andernends ist dem Kipphebel 56 ein Zentriebolzen 58 zugeordnet. Ferner weist der Kipphebel 56 eine Haltemulde 59 auf, die zum Festlegen des hier nur angedeuteten Schlittens 7, insbesondere der untersten Rolle 18 dient. Ein Federelement 60 zieht den Kipphebel 56 nach oben.The bolt 52 is also with a cam track 54 and Cam pocket 55 provided in which a rocker arm 56th is stored. One end of the rocker arm 56 engages Rocker arm pin 57 in the cam pocket 55. At the other a center pin 58 is assigned to the rocker arm 56. Furthermore, the rocker arm 56 has a holding trough 59 which to determine the carriage 7, which is only indicated here, in particular the bottom roll 18 is used. On Spring element 60 pulls the rocker arm 56 upwards.

    In dieser dargestellten Lage lässt sich der Schlitten 7 entlang der C-Schiene bzw. des Grundträgers linear hoch und runter bewegen, wobei ein Abklappen des Grundträgers 5 gegenüber der Grundplatte 3 verhindert, insbesondere gesichert ist.In this position, the carriage 7 can be linearly high along the C-rail or the base support and move down, whereby the base support 5 prevented against the base plate 3, in particular is secured.

    Durch ein nach unten Verfahren des Schlittens 7, wie es insbesondere in Figur 8.2 dargestellt ist, wird der Kipphebelbolzen 57 aus der Nockentasche 55 herausbewegt, in dem die untere Rolle 18 in die Haltemulde 59 einfährt und diese um den Zentrierbolzen 58 verschwenkt. Gleichzeitig wird das Klemmstück 46, wie es in Figur 7.7 dargestellt ist mittels der Nocke 48 ausgelenkt und aus dem Anschlag 49 herausbewegt, während die Sitzplatte 11 auf der Bodenplatte 1 aufliegt.By a downward movement of the carriage 7 as it does is shown in particular in Figure 8.2 Rocker arm pin 57 moved out of the cam pocket 55, in which the lower roller 18 moves into the holding trough 59 and pivoted about the centering pin 58. At the same time, the clamping piece 46, as shown in FIG. 7.7 is shown by means of the cam 48 deflected and out the stop 49 moved out while the seat plate 11 rests on the base plate 1.

    Durch das Herausbewegen des Kipphebelbolzens 57 aus der Nockentasche 55 wird einerseits die Haltemulde 59 auf die Rolle 18 verschwenkt und sichert die Bewegung des Schlittens 7 gegen lineares Verfahren entlang des Grundträgers 5.By moving the rocker arm pin 57 out of the Cam pocket 55 is the holding trough 59 on the one hand Roll 18 pivots and secures the movement of the Carriage 7 against linear movement along the Basic carrier 5.

    In der Position wie sie in Figur 8.1 dargestellt ist, ist ein Abkippen des Grundträgers 5 gegenüber der Bodenplatte 1 durch Eingreifen des Kipphebelbolzens 57 in der Nockentasche 55 des Riegels 52 verhindert.In the position as shown in Figure 8.1 a tilting of the base support 5 relative to the base plate 1 by engaging the rocker arm pin 57 in the Cam pocket 55 of the bolt 52 prevented.

    Durch Verkürzen der hier nicht näher dargestellten Antriebseinrichtung 8, die einends am Grundträger 5 und andernends an der Grundplatte 3 angreift wird ein weiteres Kippen des Grundträgers 5 gegenüber der Bodenplatte 1 gewährleistet. Während dieses Abkippens verfährt der Zentrierbolzen 58 des Kipphebels 56 entlang der Nockenbahn 54 des Riegels 52 wobei der Riegel 52 um den Bolzen 53 beim Abneigen des Grundträgers 5 verschwenkt wird. Gleichzeitig liegt aussen auf dem Riegel 52 der Kipphebelbolzen 57 des Kipphebels 56 auf und hält permanent die Rolle 18 des Schlittens 7 mittels ihrer Haltemulde 59 fest.By shortening the not shown here Drive device 8, one end of the base support 5 and another attacks on the base plate 3 is another Tilting the base support 5 relative to the base plate 1 guaranteed. During this tipping, the Centering pin 58 of the rocker arm 56 along the cam track 54 of the bolt 52, the bolt 52 around the bolt 53 is pivoted when the base support 5 is tilted. At the same time, the bar 52 lies on the outside Rocker arm pin 57 of the rocker arm 56 on and holds permanently the roller 18 of the carriage 7 by means of their Holding trough 59 firmly.

    Lediglich ein Abkippen ist in dieser Lage, wie es in den Figuren 8.3 bis 8.5 aufgezeigt ist, möglich. In Figur 8.5 ist die Endlage, insbesondere die abgekippte Lage des Grundträgers 5 aufgezeigt. Ein Zurückbewegen erfolgt entsprechend in umgekehrterweise durch Verlängern der Antriebseinrichtung 8.
