Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating and transmitting a tensile force.
  • the tensile force is intended to serve the longitudinal extension of a patient's body. From documents for the human body, such as couches, beds, bed frames, slatted frames or the like. the device should be independent.
  • Devices for stretching the human body serve in particular the stretching of the spine.
  • increased regeneration of the intervertebral discs (fluid intake) and better blood circulation are achieved.
  • the known devices are on the one hand to large and expensive facilities that are not suitable for household use.
  • the body is hung on the feet, ie upside down.
  • the extension is made by the weight of the upper body.
  • all home appliances have in common that after stretching, the user must leave the appliance and resume its upright position. The stretch is thereby partially reversed, ie, that the spine is compressed again.
  • the therapeutic duration of the extension itself is therefore short.
  • a disadvantage of known home appliances is also that they are bulky and bulky, so are not suitable for travel. This disadvantage is also because they during the generation of stretching forces a solid support on the surface of the human body, be it beds, beds, bed frame or the like. need the relatively high To absorb opposing forces. In addition, beds used on trips are generally unsuitable for lack of stability.
  • a portable stretching device is known. It consists of a two-piece rigid base, whose parts are connected by joints. The length of this pad goes far beyond the size of the patient, as well as the device for generating the tensile force is above the surface. This device is also bulky, even if its base at rest only about half the length.
  • the invention has for its object to eliminate the disadvantages described.
  • a device of this kind is in relation to the forces acting completely independent of a pad (couch, bed, bed frame, Lattenrostrahmen or the like.) On which the patient is during use of the device.
  • the device itself absorbs the forces acting as well as counter forces and forms a closed force system with the human body during use, so that it does not require any firm support for other objects.
  • the construction of the device in the form of a modular system is possible. It can be used anywhere after its installation.
  • a blanket or air mattress is already sufficient as a support for the user.
  • the device is - except for upper sections of the head and foot - during use below the mattress of the user, be it at home or while traveling.
  • a frictional connection with a bed frame, slatted frame or the like. does not need it.
  • the apparatus designated 1 comprises a head part 2 and a foot part 3. These each consist of an L-shaped angled, closed at the top and open at the bottom frame 4 and 5 respectively.
  • a head part 2 and a foot part 3 consist of an L-shaped angled, closed at the top and open at the bottom frame 4 and 5 respectively.
  • brackets 6, 7 are provided, which are fixed under the armpits.
  • belt sections 8, 9, they are based on the head part 2.
  • foot straps 11, 12 are based, via a belt section 13. Instead of straps and ropes or the like can be used.
  • Head and foot 2, 3 are during use of the device 1 via pipe sections 14 to 19 with each other.
  • the pipe sections 14 to 19 each have the same dimensions in pairs and consist of a pipe material from which the frame 4, 5 of head and foot 2, 3 are constructed. This results in the possibility of a detachable, but stable connection of all components by means of plug-in elements 21, which are guided within the tube material.
  • plug-in elements 21 which are guided within the tube material.
  • square tubes are selected. It is also possible to use round tubes or rod materials with suitable stability-securing profiles as well as with equivalent plug connections.
  • the short sections 18, 19 have the function of distance sections, with the aid of which the length of the device is variable.
  • Head part 2, foot part 3 and the tube pairs 14 to 19 form in the assembled state relatively narrow frame sections with gaps, which can be used for the guidance of the straps and for the accommodation of the device for generating the traction. It is particularly advantageous to use a pulley 23.
  • the gap between the pipe sections 14, 15 is provided for its accommodation.
  • the pipe sections 14, 15 are connected by a cross piece 24 firmly together.
  • At the height of this crosspiece 24 is the first, fixed component 25 of the pulley 23 with one or more fixed roles.
  • the component 26 of the pulley block 23 with the loose rollers is in the assembled state of the device 1 in the vicinity of the upright portion of the foot part 5.
  • the component 26 is in communication with the belt portion or portions 13 to which the foot straps 11, 12 are attached .
  • the foot part 3 is equipped in its lower and upper portions with pulleys over which the straps or 13 are guided.
  • the operation of the pulley 23, i. the shortening of the distance between the movable member 26 and the fixed member 25 of the pulley 23 is done by means of a rope 27 by hand, e.g. directly from the person using the device 1.
  • the rope 27 is also guided over pulleys in the foot part 3.
  • other means 23 for generating the traction may be provided, e.g. electromotive or pneumatically operated devices, spindles, ratchets or the like ..
  • the foot part 3 is active, the head part 2 passive. It would therefore be sufficient if the belt sections 8, 9 of the arm mounts 6, 7 would be fastened directly to the head part 2. It is particularly useful, however, if the belt sections 8, 9 - or a common belt - is fixed where the crosspiece 24 between the pipe sections 14, 15 is located. Such a measure contributes to the stability of the modular system during use, ie in the assembled state of the device 1 at.
  • these deflection rollers may be components of a rocker arm 28, which is pivotably articulated in the lower region of the foot part 3.
  • the upper end of the rocker 28, which also engages the pull cable 27, is attached to the transverse part of the frame 5 by means of a bolt 29.
  • the bolt 29 has a predetermined breaking point, which breaks when the permissible tensile force is exceeded.
  • the swingarm pivots in the direction of the patient and interrupts the acting force. Since the location of the described traction limitation for the patient is easily accessible, he can swing the rocker back to its operating position, lock it with a new latch and continue the extension of his body.
  • the structure described makes it possible to produce a total of stable, yet space-saving, especially narrow device in the manner of a modular system. If used in a bed, its length must be adjusted, if necessary, by means of spacers. A firm connection with bed or slatted frames is not required. Since the top ends of the head and foot sections are above the surface of the mattress, the device can be used immediately after assembly for the desired body extension.
