Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed, particularly hospital bed, which comprises a bed frame with a sleeping surface on which is arranged a mattress and which is equipped, at least along one of its longitudinal sides, at least a barrier element.
  • hospital bed means any bed equipped with means, mechanized or not, which can assist the individual who rests there. Such beds are particularly likely to be used in hospitals themselves, but also in nursing homes, retirement homes, or even in private homes, as long as they do not have complete autonomy.
  • the barrier may, in addition to the two aforementioned positions, occupy an intermediate locked position in which it is spaced from the bed and extends partially above the coating plane.
  • each builder recommends that establishments purchasing their beds use a mattress whose width is adapted to minimize the spacing between each of the vertical and longitudinal faces of the mattress, and the adjoining barrier element.
  • EP-A-0 315 438 discloses a therapeutic bed whose sleeping surface is provided tilting about a longitudinal median axis. Above the lying plane are mounted lateral compression elements intended to be pressed against the body of the patient. These elements are formed of two padded panels and connected by a base which can also be padded so that the patient can rest his arms.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above by providing a bed that can best adapt to different widths of commercial mattresses, in particular so as to minimize the risk of accidents of the type described above. upper.
  • the present invention provides a bed, particularly hospital, according to claim 1.
  • the bed shown very schematically is a bed known per se to which the invention is applicable. It consists of a frame 1 formed of a solid metal frame 10, to which are attached wheels 11 delimiting between them an elongated rectangular shape.
  • Such equipment is also provided to position the patient in so-called safety positions, including proclive and declivity.
  • chassis is likely to receive other mechanical equipment and / or electronic, able to cooperate with the sleeping part of the bed.
  • the bedding portion of the bed is essentially formed of what will be referred to throughout the present application, under the term "sleeping plan", referenced 2, that is to say a surface which is merged or located just below the underside of the mattress and which is most often constituted of a hard plane in several parts, at least one of these parts being movable so as to occupy different positions of the horizontal.
  • This bed is equipped, along each of its longitudinal sides, barrier elements referenced 5. According to the invention, it is the value of "spacing" j between the mattress and the elements 5 that the it is desired to adapt to the width of the mattress, in order to minimize the risk of jamming in this area.
  • the bed shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3 is typically a bed capable of integrating the means according to the invention.
  • This bed has a structure generally similar to that which has been given above. References identical to those used in figure 1 designate the same equipment.
  • the bed is equipped with a barrier element 5 with two panels 5 'and 5 "articulated with respect to one another and extend parallel to one of its longitudinal sides. drawings, a similar element, likely to equip the second side, was not shown.
  • the first element could occupy substantially three quarters of the length of the bed and the second, the last quarter.
  • the elements could be three in number and occupy each, at most one third of the length of the bed.
  • arrow symbol h indicates the lifting movement of the barrier elements.
  • the retracted position of this figure is particularly useful when the hospital staff wishes to access the bed without being disturbed in its movements. Indeed, in this position, the top of the panels 5 and 5 'is located at a lower level than the upper surface of the mattress 3. This position also allows the occupant of the bed to leave without difficulty.
  • the panels 5 'and 5 are articulated with respect to one another about an axis XX' which is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bed, thus, after lifting in the direction of the arrow h, one can unfold them in relation to each other, as shown by the arrows f and g.
  • the panel 5 ' is articulated at the top of this arm about an axis 501 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bed, while the arm itself is hinged relative to the frame of the bed about a parallel axis 502.
  • This piece has designated a locking piece integral with the bed frame. This piece, open towards the outside, has a bottom wall 206 generally vertical, which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bed, flanked by two parallel wings, vertical and transverse.
  • an inclined wall 205 It continues downwards by an inclined wall 205, called “locking", forming an obtuse angle with the bottom wall. Finally, it is also bounded by a generally horizontal cover wall 208. It comprises, on each of the walls 205 and 208, an opening 200, respectively 201 associated with a stop 203, respectively 204.
  • the central arm 500 is hollow and at its end can slide a locking pin 503.
  • This finger is resiliently mounted in the arm and stressed by a non-visible spring, so that its end always exceeds the arm 500 '. It is connected to an actuating cable 504.
  • a remote control mechanism not shown, and positioned for example on the panel 5 ', allows to pull on the cable and operate the finger.
  • these locking means are globally unchanged, but these are combined with means for adjusting the lateral position of the barrier element in the erected position, which make it possible to reduce, as far as possible, the gap between the barrier element and the corresponding longitudinal side of the mattress that the bed receives.
  • the piece 20 retains the generally vertical bottom wall 206, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bed, flanked by two parallel, vertical and transverse wings 207 .
  • the bottom wall continues, as already described above, downwards, between the two wings 207, by an inclined wall 205 called "locking" forming an obtuse angle with said bottom wall.
  • FIG. 8 and 9 are formed in the wall 205 two locking openings 200 and 200 '. These openings are aligned and arranged at right angles to the curve C, in the median part of the wall.
  • the opening 200 is the one that is closest to the free end of the wall 205.
  • pivoting flat flap 8 resting by its lower face on the upper face of the wall 205.
  • Two abutments 7 and 7 'in the form of quarter-sphere protrude from the wall 205 and limit the angular displacement of the flap 8. These stops are arranged in such a way that when the flap bears against the flat face of the abutment 7, it completely covers the locking opening 200 ', without interfering with the opening 200, whereas when it bears against the flat face of the abutment 7', it completely discovers the opening 200 ', while being retracted in a direction opposite to the opening 200.
  • the flap has an anterior portion 81, located in the vicinity of the axis 80, which has a constant thickness. It is extended by an end part posterior 82 whose inclined upper face 820 forms a ramp. This slope extends transversely with respect to the long sides of the rectangle in which the flap fits. It is ascending towards the free end of the wall 205.
  • the face 820 here extends substantially over half of the surface of the flap. In another embodiment, this proportion could be less. However, it is necessary that the ramp is located, when the shutter occupies the position in abutment of the figure 8 , in line with the curve C mentioned above.
  • FIGS 11 and 12 illustrate the case of a relatively narrow mattress 3. This corresponds to the situation of the figure 1 wherein the mattress is shown in solid lines and has a width L.
  • the arm 500 describes a portion of the curve centered on the axis 502. This is the aforementioned curve C.
  • the shutter occupies the position of the figure 8 in which it bears against the stop 7 and closes the opening 200.
  • the end of the locking pin 503 engaged in the arm 500 meets the inclined face 820 forming a slope of the fly 8.
  • the finger retracts gradually in the arm, to fully cross the flap.
  • the gap j that remains between the mattress 3 and the barrier element 5 is minimized, thus avoiding any risk of accident.
  • This mattress of width L ', is represented in dashed lines at the figure 1 . There is, symbolized in the same way, the barrier elements 5 in a new position adapted to this mattress.
  • the means according to the present invention therefore allow to allow locking of the barrier element, despite the greater width of the mattress.
  • the mattress having a large width, the support of the barrier element on the latter is opposed, except significant effort, so that the finger 503 engages in the opening 200, after he has crossed part 8.
  • the support of the barrier element 5 against the mattress tends to print the leg 500 a reverse movement of the previous.
  • the finger 503 pushes the flap 8 against the stop 7 ', while it engages in the opening 200'.
  • We then reach the lock position of the figure 15 in which there is also, as in the previous case, a minimum clearance j between the mattress and the barrier element.
  • the barrier element 5 is capable of occupying two different positions, the value of the gap which separates it from the corresponding edge of the head panels 4 and the foot 4 'of the bed can vary.
  • these flange panels are equipped, as illustrated in FIG. figure 16 .
  • the relative arrangement of the two openings 200 and 200 ' should be provided according to the most common widths of mattress, so that the barrier element can be locked easily, whatever the case that occurs.
  • the number of locking openings could be larger, so as to adapt to an even larger number of mattress models.
  • the means for adjusting the lateral position of the barrier element in the erected position are combined with the locking means of this barrier element. This is not necessarily the case. Thus, the adjustment means may be provided independently of the locking means.
  • the means of the invention can be applied to barrier elements other than those described here. It is particularly those which are arranged in the manner of a deformable parallelogram, the passage from the first erected position to the second retracted position, and vice versa, being exclusively in the longitudinal direction.
