Definitions
- the invention relates to a hoist device for moving a person from a recumbent to a sitting position or vice versa.
- the invention in particular relates to a hoist device for lifting, placing down, transporting or manoeuvring a person requiring care.
- the invention further relates to a lift device and a ceiling lift comprising such a hoist device.
- hoist devices are usually used in health care to reduce the physical load of persons giving care when lifting or placing down a person requiring care, such as for instance a patient, a disabled person or a sick person.
- Known hoist devices for moving a patient from a recumbent to a sitting position, or vice versa are provided with supporting arms for attaching a sling thereto.
- this known hoist device the distance between the attachment of the sling to the supporting arms and the part of the sling supporting the patient is large.
- a drawback thereof is that when transferring the patient from the one to the other position, the patient may slide in the sling as a result of which the patient may not end up in the desired position. In case this happens the person giving care has to lift the patient in the desired position as yet, which usually has to be done by hand and thus is an extra physical exertion for the persons giving care.
- the known hoist devices furthermore are provided with a mechanism wherein the supporting arms are movable about horizontal axes.
- a drawback thereof is that in this case as well the patient may slide in the sling during the transfer.
- the invention provides a hoist device for moving a person from a recumbent to a sitting position, or vice versa, wherein the hoist device comprises a suspension assembly and first and second arm members extending in opposite direction for attaching a sling thereto, wherein the second arm members, intended for carrying the person's pelvic area, are rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis, and wherein the first arm members, intended for carrying the person's shoulder area, at least in a direction perpendicular to the axis, extend from the suspension assembly over a distance that exceeds the distance between an average person's shoulder and crown.
- a sling By designing the first arm members for carrying a person's shoulder area in such a way that they extend over a distance exceeding the distance between an average person's shoulder an crown, a sling can be used wherein the attachment points of the sling to said first arm members can be placed close to a shoulder of the person in the sling, without the person in the sling bumping his/her head to the other parts of the hoist device.
- the attachment points of the sling at said first arm members remain close to the person's shoulder or shoulders during moving the person from a recumbent to a sitting position or vice versa.
- the shape and thus the fit of the sling is predominantly defined by the shape of the first arm members, instead of by the shape of a sagging sling like in the known devices.
- a better fit of the sling can be achieved due to which the person in the sling can be more stably supported and as a result of which the risk of the person in the sling sliding during transfer can be reduced.
- the dimensions of said hoist device are derived from human sizes.
- said arm members are adapted to the person to be moved.
- the dimensions of the hoist device are at least partially derived from the sizes of an average person.
- the sizes of an average person are the subject of studies for designing for instance furniture or stairs and doors. The inventor realised that the results of these studies can also be used in the design of hoist devices for persons requiring care.
- a hoist device can be designed in which a person requiring care can be accommodated with a better fit or more stably.
- the dimensions of the hoist device can be adapted to the sizes and dimensions of an average child, an average adolescent, an average adult, an average male or an average female.
- first arm members are rotation fixedly placed at the suspension assembly.
- second arm members are rotated about the horizontal axis.
- the sling is then pulled underneath the person.
- first arm members for carrying a person's shoulder area is fixed with respect to the hoist device and the sling is pulled underneath the person, it can at least to a large extend be prevented that the person slides in the sling during the transfer.
- the second arm members comprise a connection member that is placed thereon so as to hinge, wherein the connection member at an end thereof extending away from the second arm members is provided with attachment means for attaching the sling thereto.
- the dimensions of the second arm members and the connection member are preferably based on the dimensions of the average person.
- the length of the second arm members and the connection member are selected such that an average person can be placed in a substantially horizontal recumbent position with raised legs.
- the attachment points of the sling to the connection member can in this case preferably be placed close to a knee or upper leg of the person in the sling.
- the attachment points of the sling to the connection member also remain close to a knee or upper leg of the person during moving said person from a recumbent to a sitting position or vice versa.
- the attachment points of the sling are placed close to the person's knee or upper leg, the shape and as a result the fit of the sling is defined predominantly by the shape of the second arm members with connection member, instead of by the shape of a sagging sling like in the known devices.
- a better fit of the sling can be achieved at least as regards the section supporting the pelvis, as a result of which the person in the sling can be more stably supported.
- the dimensions of the first arm members, the second arm members and the connection member are based on the sizes of an average person, so that the attachment points of the sling to the first arm members are placed close to a shoulder of an average person in the sling, and so that the attachment points of the sling to the connection member are placed close to a knee or upper leg of an average person in the sling.
- the attachment points of the sling remain close to the shoulder or shoulders and close to a knee or upper leg of the average person when moving a person from a recumbent to a sitting position, or vice versa.
- connection member is curved. Due to the curved shape a person in the sling can be more easily pushed to the back of a chair or wheelchair, so that after placing this person using the hoisting device according to the invention a better sitting position is realised.
- the curved connection member is able to create more distance between the connection member and the front side of a person in the sling, as a result of which this person has more room to move.
- the second arm members are rotatable for placing the hoist device in a first position for supporting the person in a sitting position and in a second position for supporting the person in a recumbent position.
- the angle of rotation of the second arm members between the first position and the second position exceeds 90°.
- the angle of rotation exceeds 120°. Due to the large angle of rotation the hoist device can both be placed in a first position for supporting the person in the sling in a proper sitting position, and be placed in a second position for supporting the person in the sling in a recumbent position, preferably with raised legs.
- the second arm members are rotatable over an angle exceeding the angle of rotation between the first and second position.
- the person in the carrying path can be lifted past the sitting and/or recumbent position.
- the person's pelvic area When lifting a person past the recumbent position, the person's pelvic area is lifted slightly higher than the person's shoulder area. In this position first the person's shoulder area can be placed on a supportive surface of for instance a bed. Subsequently, when the shoulder area is properly positioned, the person's pelvic area can also be placed on the supportive surface.
- the hoist device comprises two first arm members that are placed substantially parallel and spaced apart.
- the head of the person in the sling can move between the first arm members.
- each of the two first arm members can be placed close to an average person's shoulder.
- the distance between the arm members exceeds the average person's shoulder width.
- the second arm members comprise a substantially closed handle or hoop.
- the handle-shaped or hoop-shaped second arm members thus form a support to which the person in the sling can hold on during moving from a recumbent to a sitting position, or vice versa.
- the hoist device comprises drive means for driving the second arm members.
- the drive means comprise an electromotor. In this way the physical load of the persons giving care when moving a person requiring care from a recumbent to a sitting position, or vice versa, can be further reduced.
- the invention provides a lift device comprising a base, a post placed on the base, the post having a hoist device as described above.
- the base is provided with running wheels.
- the invention provides a ceiling lift comprising a trolley to be placed in a ceiling rail and movable along said rail, the trolley having a hoist device as described above.
