Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des appareils conçus pour permettre à une personne, dont les capacités physiques sont déficientes temporairement ou définitivement, de pouvoir être transférée entre deux positions relativement proches l'une de l'autre.The present invention relates to the technical field of devices designed for allow a person, whose physical capacities are deficient temporarily or permanently, to be able to be transferred between two positions relatively close to each other.

Pour des personnes présentant un handicap physique, le passage d'une position à une autre constitue une réelle difficulté. C'est le cas, notamment pour passer d'une position couchée à une position assise et inversement, ou passer d'une position assise dans un siège, à une position assise dans un fauteuil, par exemple. Par ailleurs, une telle personne ne peut pas effectuer seule un tel transfert et doit faire appel à une aide.For people with physical disabilities, moving from one position to another constitutes a real difficulty. This is the case, especially to go from one lying down to a sitting position and vice versa, or moving from a sitting position in a seat, in a sitting position in a chair, for example. In addition, a such a person cannot make such a transfer alone and must call upon a help.

Dans l'état de la technique, il a été proposé divers appareils, en général électriques, adaptés pour manipuler des personnes handicapées. Ces appareils sont généralement encombrants, onéreux et nécessitent le recours à une source d'énergie électrique.In the state of the art, various devices have been proposed, in general electric, suitable for handling disabled people. These devices are generally bulky, expensive and require the use of an energy source electric.

Il apparaít donc le besoin de pouvoir disposer d'un appareil simple, adapté pour permettre le transfert d'une personne d'une position à une autre, un tel transfert étant assuré d'une manière sûre sans toutefois nécessiter obligatoirement l'aide d'une tierce personne.It therefore appears the need to be able to have a simple device, suitable for allow the transfer of a person from one position to another, such transfer being insured in a safe manner without necessarily requiring the help of a third party person.

Il apparaít, également, le besoin de disposer d'un appareil simple conçu pour transférer une personne possédant de bonnes capacités physiques au niveau de ses membres supérieurs.There also appears to be a need for a simple device designed to transfer a person with good physical abilities to his level upper members.

L'objet de l'invention vise donc à satisfaire ce besoin en proposant un appareil simple, peu encombrant et conçu pour transférer une personne d'une position à une autre, avec une totale sécurité et n'imposant pas nécessairement le recours à une aide extérieure.The object of the invention therefore aims to satisfy this need by proposing an apparatus simple, space-saving and designed to transfer a person from a position to a other, with total security and not necessarily requiring help exterior.

Pour atteindre un tel objectif, l'appareil, selon l'invention, de transfert d'une personne comporte :

  • un piétement délimitant un polygone de sustentation,
  • un mât s'élevant verticalement à partir du piétement,
  • un ensemble d'appui pour les membres inférieurs d'une personne, monté rotatif sur le mât,
  • et un système de transfert d'une personne adapté pour la déplacer dans le polygone de sustentation, entre une position initiale et une position finale décalées angulairement entre elles, le système de transfert étant monté sur le mât en étant pourvu d'un ensemble de suspension pour les membres supérieurs, monté pivotant sur le mât selon un axe incliné par rapport à la verticale et destiné à être placé à un niveau haut de manière à être entraíné en rotation sous l'effet du poids de la personne suspendue, jusqu'à un niveau bas permettant d'obtenir ainsi le transfert de la personne.
To achieve such an objective, the apparatus, according to the invention, for transferring a person comprises:
  • a base delimiting a support polygon,
  • a mast rising vertically from the base,
  • a support assembly for the lower limbs of a person, rotatably mounted on the mast,
  • and a system for transferring a person adapted to move him in the support polygon, between an initial position and a final position offset angularly therebetween, the transfer system being mounted on the mast being provided with a suspension assembly for the upper limbs, pivotally mounted on the mast along an axis inclined relative to the vertical and intended to be placed at a high level so as to be rotated under the effect of the weight of the person suspended, up to a low level allowing to obtain the transfer of the person.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent de la description faite ci-dessous en référence aux dessins annexés qui montrent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, une forme de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention.Various other characteristics of the invention emerge from the description made below with reference to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of examples not limiting, an embodiment of the subject of the invention.

La fig. 6 est une vue en coupe élévation partielle d'un détail caractéristique de l'appareil selon l'invention. Fig. 6 is a partial elevation section view of a characteristic detail of the apparatus according to the invention.

Tel que cela ressort sur les fig. 1 à 3, l'objet de l'invention concerne un appareil 1 adapté pour assurer le transfert d'une personne, d'une position initiale PI à une position finale PF représentées schématiquement par le plan sagittal de la personne. L'appareil 1 comporte un piétement 2 destiné à reposer sur le sol, pour délimiter classiquement un polygone de sustentation. Dans la variante illustrée notamment sur les figures 4 et 5, le piétement 2 est constitué par trois bras, s'étendant à partir d'un support central de liaison 4 pour présenter une forme générale en "T". Selon une variante préférée de réalisation, deux des bras, à savoir les bras latéraux 31 par rapport au bras central 32, sont montés repliables pour pouvoir être repliés sensiblement parallèlement au bras central 32 lors de la non utilisation de l'appareil 1 (fig. 4). A cet effet, chaque bras latéral 31 est monté sur le support 4 selon un axe de pivotement 5 et se trouve équipé d'un élément 6 de verrouillage du bras en position déployée.As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the object of the invention relates to an apparatus 1 adapted to ensure the transfer of a person, from an initial position PI to a final position PF represented schematically by the sagittal plane of the person. The device 1 comprises a base 2 intended to rest on the ground, to conventionally delimit a support polygon. In the variant illustrated in particular in Figures 4 and 5 , the base 2 is constituted by three arms, extending from a central connecting support 4 to have a general shape in "T". According to a preferred embodiment, two of the arms, namely the lateral arms 3 1 with respect to the central arm 3 2 , are mounted foldable so that they can be folded substantially parallel to the central arm 3 2 when the device 1 is not in use ( fig. 4). To this end, each lateral arm 3 1 is mounted on the support 4 along a pivot axis 5 and is fitted with an element 6 for locking the arm in the deployed position.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, le bras central 32 se prolonge au delà du support 4 de liaison central des bras, par un prolongement 3'2 de longueur réduite permettant de contribuer au maintien du piétement 2 en contact avec le sol. De préférence, l'extrémité du prolongement 3'2 est équipé de roulettes 7 qui sont montées pour ne pas être en contact avec le sol en position d'appui du bras central 32 sur le sol. Les roulettes 7 permettent de faciliter le transport du piétement 2 en position repliée. A cet effet, le piétement 2 est soulevé à partir de l'extrémité opposée de celle portant les roulettes 7 de manière que ces dernières puissent rouler sur le sol.According to a preferred embodiment characteristic, the central arm 3 2 extends beyond the support 4 for the central connection of the arms, by an extension 3 ′ 2 of reduced length making it possible to contribute to maintaining the base 2 in contact with the ground. Preferably, the end of the extension 3 ′ 2 is fitted with rollers 7 which are mounted so as not to be in contact with the ground in the support position of the central arm 3 2 on the ground. The rollers 7 make it easier to transport the base 2 in the folded position. For this purpose, the base 2 is raised from the opposite end from that carrying the rollers 7 so that the latter can roll on the ground.

Le support 4 du piétement comporte un fût tubulaire 8 dans lequel est engagée l'extrémité inférieure d'un mât 10 s'élevant verticalement selon un axe X. De préférence, le mât 10 est bloqué en rotation par rapport au support 4, à l'aide d'une vis de blocage 41. Ainsi, le mât 10 peut être retiré facilement du piétement 2 lors du démontage de l'appareil 1. The support 4 of the base comprises a tubular barrel 8 in which is engaged the lower end of a mast 10 rising vertically along an axis X. Preferably, the mast 10 is locked in rotation relative to the support 4, at l using a locking screw 4 1 . Thus, the mast 10 can be easily removed from the base 2 when the device 1 is dismantled .

Le mât 10 est équipé d'un ensemble d'appui 11 pour les membres inférieurs d'une personne, monté rotatif sur le mât 10. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'ensemble d'appui 11 pour les membres inférieurs est constitué par un repose-pieds 12 et par deux jambières ouvertes 13, portés par un tube 101 emmanché sur le mât 10 pour être tournant autour du mât 10. Pour éviter que le tube 101 glisse le long du mât 10 lors du retrait de ce dernier du fût 8, le mât 10 est équipé d'une bague de butée 102 venant en appui sur le bord du fût 8. The mast 10 is equipped with a support assembly 11 for the lower limbs of a person, rotatably mounted on the mast 10 . In the example illustrated, the support assembly 11 for the lower limbs is constituted by a footrest 12 and by two open leggings 13, carried by a tube 10 1 fitted on the mast 10 to be rotatable around the mast 10 . to prevent the tube 1 slides 10 along the mast 10 during the withdrawal of the latter of the barrel 8, the mast 10 is provided with a stop ring 10 2 emanating resting on the edge of the drum 8.

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément des figures 2 à 5, le repose-pieds 12 est constitué, de manière classique, par deux plateaux d'appui 14 bordés par des rebords 15 et reliés entre eux par une traverse 16 portée par une membrure 17 fixée au tube 101. Bien entendu, les plateaux d'appui 14 pour les pieds qui s'étendent de part et d'autre du mât 10, peuvent être réglables en écartement et/ou en orientation.As can be seen more clearly from FIGS. 2 to 5 , the footrest 12 is constituted, in a conventional manner, by two support plates 14 bordered by flanges 15 and connected together by a cross member 16 carried by a fixed member 17 to tube 10 1 . Of course, the support plates 14 for the feet which extend on either side of the mast 10, can be adjustable in spacing and / or in orientation.

Les deux jambières ouvertes 13 sont destinées à emboíter par l'avant les jambes d'une personne pour prendre appui sensiblement en dessous du plateau tibial, pour immobiliser les membres inférieurs latéralement et dans le plan antéro-postérieur. Les deux jambières ouvertes 12, qui s'étendent de part et d'autre du mât 10, sont constituées chacune par un arceau 19 fixé sur une tige transversale 20 supportée par un collier 21 de montage sur le tube 101. Par exemple, les deux jambières ouvertes 12 sont montées avec une possibilité de réglage en écartement et/ou en orientation. De préférence, le collier de montage 21 possède une possibilité de réglage en hauteur, le long du tube 101. The two open leggings 13 are intended to fit from the front the legs of a person to bear substantially below the tibial plateau, to immobilize the lower limbs laterally and in the anteroposterior plane. The two open leggings 12, which extend on either side of the mast 10, each consist of a hoop 19 fixed on a transverse rod 20 supported by a collar 21 for mounting on the tube 10 1 . For example, the two open leggings 12 are mounted with a possibility of adjustment in spacing and / or in orientation. Preferably, the mounting collar 21 has a possibility of adjustment in height, along the tube 10 1 .

L'appareil 1, selon l'invention comporte également un système 22 assurant le transfert d'une personne dans le polygone de sustentation, entre la position initiale PI et la position finale PF décalées angulairement entre elles.The apparatus 1 , according to the invention also comprises a system 22 ensuring the transfer of a person in the support polygon, between the initial position PI and the final position PF angularly offset between them.

Le système de transfert 22 est monté sur le mât 10 en étant pourvu d'un ensemble 23 de suspension pour les membres supérieurs. Dans l'exemple illustré, l'ensemble de suspension 23 est constitué par deux poignées s'étendant radialement à partir du mât 10 à proximité l'une de l'autre. Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, l'ensemble de suspension 23 comporte également des crochets 24 aptes à servir de point de fixation à des sangles, ou analogues, destinées à venir entourer la personne pendant l'opération de transfert.The transfer system 22 is mounted on the mast 10 , being provided with a suspension assembly 23 for the upper limbs. In the example illustrated, the suspension assembly 23 consists of two handles extending radially from the mast 10 close to one another. According to a preferred embodiment characteristic, the suspension assembly 23 also includes hooks 24 capable of serving as a point of attachment to straps, or the like, intended to come and surround the person during the transfer operation.

Tel que cela ressort plus précisément de la fig. 6, l'ensemble de suspension 23 est monté pivotant sur le mât 10, selon un axe incliné X par rapport à la verticale V. Dans l'exemple illustré, le système de transfert 22 comporte un palier de guidage 25 pour un roulement 27 dont la bague intérieure est montée solidaire en rotation, par l'intermédiaire d'un axe 29 avec l'ensemble de suspension 23. Compte tenu du montage de l'ensemble de suspension 23, selon un axe incliné X par rapport à la verticale V, l'ensemble de suspension 23 décrit une trajectoire s'établissant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe X, c'est-à-dire incliné par rapport à la verticale V. Au cours de cette trajectoire circulaire, il doit être compris que l'ensemble de suspension 23 passe d'un niveau haut maximum à un niveau bas minimum. Dans la mesure où le centre de gravité de l'ensemble de suspension 23 se trouve décalé par rapport à l'axe de rotation X, l'ensemble de suspension 23 a tendance, lorsqu'il se trouve placé à un niveau haut (représenté à gauche sur la fig. 6), de revenir par simple gravité à son niveau bas minimum (représenté en trait mixte à droite sur la fig. 6). L'intérêt de cette caractéristique apparaítra plus précisément dans la suite de la description. As shown more precisely in FIG. 6, the suspension assembly 23 is pivotally mounted on the mast 10, along an inclined axis X with respect to the vertical V. In the example illustrated, the transfer system 22 comprises a guide bearing 25 for a bearing 27 whose the inner ring is mounted for rotation, by means of an axis 29 with the suspension assembly 23 . Given the mounting of the suspension assembly 23 , along an inclined axis X with respect to the vertical V , the suspension assembly 23 describes a trajectory establishing itself in a plane perpendicular to the axis X , that is to say ie inclined with respect to the vertical V. During this circular trajectory, it should be understood that the suspension assembly 23 passes from a maximum high level to a minimum low level. Insofar as the center of gravity of the suspension assembly 23 is offset from the axis of rotation X , the suspension assembly 23 tends, when it is placed at a high level (shown at left in fig. 6 ), to return by simple gravity to its minimum low level (shown in phantom on the right in fig. 6 ). The interest of this characteristic will appear more precisely in the following description.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, l'appareil 1 comporte un moyen 30 de repérage de la position finale PF, c'est-à-dire du niveau haut pour l'ensemble de suspension 23. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, le moyen de repérage 30 est constitué par une poignée 31 s'étendant à partir d'une jupe tubulaire 33 faisant partie du système de transfert 22. Bien entendu, le moyen de repérage 30 peut être réalisé de manière différente. La jupe tubulaire 33, qui prolonge le palier de guidage 25, est emboítée sur l'extrémité libre du mât 10. Cette jupe tubulaire 33 est placée dans une position fixe par rapport au mât 10 à l'aide d'un moyen de blocage manuel 36, telle qu'une vis. Le système de transfert 22 peut ainsi être facilement démonté par rapport au mât 10. Il est à noter que la poignée 31 sert aussi avantageusement pour permettre de déplacer l'appareil 1 lors notamment, de son roulage à l'aide des roulettes 7.According to a preferred embodiment characteristic, the apparatus 1 comprises means 30 for locating the final position PF , that is to say the high level for the suspension assembly 23 . In the illustrated embodiment, the locating means 30 is constituted by a handle 31 extending from a tubular skirt 33 forming part of the transfer system 22 . Of course, the locating means 30 can be produced in a different way. The tubular skirt 33 , which extends the guide bearing 25, is fitted on the free end of the mast 10. This tubular skirt 33 is placed in a fixed position relative to the mast 10 using a manual locking means 36 , such as a screw. The transfer system 22 can thus be easily dismantled relative to the mast 10 . It should be noted that the handle 31 also advantageously serves to allow the device 1 to be moved during, in particular, its rolling using the rollers 7 .

L'utilisation d'un appareil 1, selon l'invention, découle directement de la description qui précède.The use of an apparatus 1 according to the invention follows directly from the foregoing description.

L'appareil 1 est positionné de manière à permettre à une personne de passer d'une position initiale PI, illustrée à la fig. 2, à une position finale PF, illustrée à la fig. 3. Dans l'exemple illustré, les deux positions PI, PF se trouvent décalées angulairement, sensiblement de l'ordre de 90°. Pour ce faire, la personne utilise le moyen de repérage 30 afin, dans l'exemple illustré, de l'orienter dans la position finale PF souhaitée. A cet effet, la poignée 31 est orientée dans la direction de la position finale PF et se trouve bloquée dans cette position à l'aide du moyen de blocage manuel 36. Tel que cela ressort de la fig. 2, la poignée 31 est positionnée par rapport au mât 10, à l'opposé de la position finale PF. Bien entendu, il pourrait être prévu que la poignée 31 se trouve située du côté de la position finale PF.The apparatus 1 is positioned so as to allow a person to pass from an initial position PI, illustrated in FIG. 2, at a final position PF, illustrated in FIG. 3. In the example illustrated, the two positions PI, PF are offset angularly, substantially of the order of 90 °. To do this, the person uses the locating means 30 in order, in the example illustrated, to orient it in the desired final position PF . To this end, the handle 31 is oriented in the direction of the final position PF and is locked in this position using the manual locking means 36. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 31 is positioned relative to the mast 10 , opposite the final position PF . Of course, it could be expected that the handle 31 is located on the side of the final position PF .

Compte tenu du blocage dans la position définie ci-dessus du système de transfert 22, l'ensemble de suspension 23 se trouve positionné dans la position initiale PI à un niveau considéré haut, c'est-à-dire supérieur à un niveau considéré bas dans lequel sera situé l'ensemble de suspension 23 dans la position finale PF. La personne peut alors venir reposer les pieds sur les plateaux de réception 14 et engager ses jambes dans les deux jambières ouvertes 13. La personne se suspend ensuite par ses mains à l'ensemble de suspension 23 de sorte qu'elle se trouve complètement supportée par l'appareil de transfert 1 selon l'invention. Compte tenu de la position à un niveau haut de l'ensemble d'appui 23, ce dernier est entraíné en rotation sous l'effet du poids de la personne suspendue à l'ensemble de suspension 23. Cet ensemble de suspension 23 est donc entraíné en rotation pour venir se placer à un niveau bas. Compte tenu de la rotation des membres supérieurs et du tronc de la personne, l'ensemble d'appui 11 pour les membres inférieurs est également entraíné en rotation pour permettre de placer la personne dans sa position finale PF.Given the blocking in the position defined above of the transfer system 22 , the suspension assembly 23 is positioned in the initial position PI at a level considered high, that is to say greater than a level considered low in which will be located the suspension assembly 23 in the final position PF . The person can then come and rest their feet on the receiving trays 14 and engage their legs in the two open leggings 13 . The person then hangs by his hands to the suspension assembly 23 so that it is completely supported by the transfer device 1 according to the invention. Given the position at a high level of the support assembly 23, the latter is rotated under the effect of the weight of the person suspended from the suspension assembly 23 . This suspension assembly 23 is therefore rotated to come to be placed at a low level. Given the rotation of the upper limbs and the trunk of the person, the support assembly 11 for the lower limbs is also rotated to allow the person to be placed in its final position PF .

L'appareil 1, selon l'invention, permet ainsi de transférer de manière simple et sûre, sans l'aide d'une tierce personne, une personne d'une position à une autre. Le transfert s'effectue sans source d'énergie mais uniquement sous l'effet de la gravité.The apparatus 1 according to the invention thus makes it possible to transfer a person from one position to another in a simple and safe manner, without the aid of a third person. The transfer takes place without an energy source but only under the effect of gravity.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de réalisation, l'appareil 1 comporte des butées 40 de limitation de la rotation par rapport au mât 10, de l'ensemble d'appui 11 pour les membres inférieurs. Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré, ces butées de limitation 40 sont constituées par deux plaques de rigidification du fût d'emboítement 8 sur lesquelles est destiné à venir en butée, un ergot 41 s'étendant entre le tube 101 et la membrure 17. La mise en oeuvre de ces butées 40 assure que le transfert de la personne s'effectue toujours dans le polygone de sustentation. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de réalisation, l'appareil 1 comporte un détrompeur pour éviter un mauvais montage du mât 10 sur le piétement conduisant au positionnement de la personne en dehors du polygone de sustentation. A cet effet, le fût 8 est pourvu à son extrémité, d'un rebord 43 s'étendant entre les deux butées 40, en dehors de la plage autorisée de rotation de l'ergot 41. Ainsi, le mât 10 ne peut pas être engagé dans le fût 8 dans une mauvaise position car l'ergot 41 vient en butée sur le rebord 43.According to a preferred characteristic of embodiment, the apparatus 1 comprises stops 40 for limiting the rotation relative to the mast 10 , of the support assembly 11 for the lower limbs. In the illustrated embodiment, these limiting stops 40 are constituted by two stiffening plates of the socket barrel 8 on which is intended to come into abutment, a lug 41 extending between the tube 10 1 and the frame 17 . the implementation of these stops 40 ensures that the transfer of the person is always done in the support polygon. According to an advantageous characteristic of embodiment, the device 1 comprises a polarizing device to prevent improper mounting of the mast 10 on the base leading to the positioning of the person outside the support polygon. To this end, the barrel 8 is provided at its end with a rim 43 extending between the two stops 40 , outside the authorized range of rotation of the lug 41 . Thus, the mast 10 cannot be engaged in the barrel 8 in a bad position because the lug 41 abuts on the rim 43 .

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés car diverses modifications peuvent y être accordées sans sortir de son cadre.The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown since various modifications can be granted without departing from its scope.
