Description

L'invention se rapporte à un lit de malade et concerne plus particulièrement un perfectionnement permettant d'améliorer la sécurité du patient grâce à la présence d'une barrière latérale complète, c'est-à-dire s'étendant sur toute la longueur d'un côté longitudinal du lit.The invention relates to a patient's bed and more particularly relates to an improvement to improve patient safety through the presence of a complete lateral barrier, that is to say extending over the entire length of the patient. a longitudinal side of the bed.

Classiquement, un lit de malade comporte au moins une barrière transversale, généralement deux, communément appelées tête de lit et pied de lit.Conventionally, a sick bed has at least one transverse barrier, generally two, commonly called headboard and footboard.

On connaît le principe d'une barrière de lit rabattable conçue selon une sorte de parallélogramme déformable et articulée au bord du châssis métallique qui supporte la literie. En position redressée, cette barrière s'étend sur la plus grande partie de la longueur du lit à partir de l'une de ses extrémités, typiquement à partir de la tête de lit. Elle est placée dans cette position surtout la nuit pour éviter que le patient tombe du lit pendant son sommeil.The principle of a folding bed barrier designed according to a sort of deformable parallelogram and articulated to the edge of the metal frame that supports the bedding is known. In the upright position, this barrier extends over most of the length of the bed from one of its ends, typically from the headboard. She is placed in this position especially at night to prevent the patient from falling out of bed while sleeping.

La barrière est rabattue pour administrer des soins au patient. De plus, pendant la journée, en fonction de l'état du patient, elle peut être rabattue en permanence.The barrier is folded to administer patient care. In addition, during the day, depending on the condition of the patient, it can be folded permanently.

Une telle barrière est par exemple composée d'éléments cylindriques, tels des barres tubulaires métalliques ou en matière plastique, articulés entre eux. L'ensemble est articulé au châssis. Cette barrière, par son principe, se replie sur elle-même dans son propre plan, les parties verticales pivotant de 90° environ vers l'autre extrémité du lit et les parties horizontales se déplaçant parallèlement à elles-mêmes.Such a barrier is for example composed of cylindrical elements, such as metal or plastic tubular bars, hinged together. The assembly is articulated to the frame. This barrier, by its principle, folds on itself in its own plane, the vertical parts pivoting about 90 ° towards the other end of the bed and the horizontal parts moving parallel to themselves.

Pour éviter tout danger, il est important qu'en position repliée, ladite barrière ne s'étende pas au-delà de l'autre extrémité du lit, c'est-à-dire, typiquement, le pied de lit. C'est la raison pour laquelle la barrière ne peut être dimensionnée pour s'étendre sur la totalité de la longueur du lit en position redressée. Il reste donc un espace non protégé près de l'une barrières transversales, typiquement près du pied de lit. Cet espace autorise donc la sortie du patient avec risque de chute de celui-ci.To avoid any danger, it is important that in folded position, said barrier does not extend beyond the other end of the bed, that is to say, typically, the footboard. This is the reason why the barrier can not be dimensioned to extend over the entire length of the bed in the upright position. There is therefore an unprotected space near a transverse barrier, typically near the footboard. This space therefore allows the exit of the patient with risk of falling thereof.

L'invention permet de résoudre ce problème et offre au personnel soignant et en fonction de l'état du patient la possibilité de combler cet espace.The invention solves this problem and provides the caregiver and depending on the patient's condition the opportunity to fill this space.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un lit de malade comprenant un châssis supportant la literie et au moins une barrière transversale, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte en combinaison :

  • une barrière latérale rabattable du type à mécanisme de parallélogramme déformable, articulée audit châssis pour s'étendre en position redressée le long d'une partie de la longueur du lit à partir de l'une de ses extrémités, et
  • un accessoire complémentaire amovible, susceptible d'être fixée audit châssis à au moins un emplacement de montage tel qu'il s'étende le long de la partie restante de la longueur du lit entre ladite barrière latérale en position redressée et ladite barrière transversale du lit.
More particularly, the invention relates to a patient bed comprising a frame supporting the bedding and at least one transverse barrier, characterized in that it comprises in combination:
  • a collapsible lateral barrier of the deformable parallelogram mechanism type, hinged to said frame to extend in an upright position along a portion of the length of the bed from one of its ends, and
  • a removable additional attachment, attachable to said frame at at least one mounting location as it extends along the remaining portion of the length of the bed between said lateral barrier in the upright position and said transverse barrier of the bed .

Dans la définition ci-dessus, la barrière transversale considérée est souvent ledit pied de lit.In the definition above, the transverse barrier considered is often said footboard.

Dans ce cas, la barrière latérale rabattable s'étend, en position relevée, à partir de la tête du lit et jusqu'à un point intermédiaire de la longueur du châssis situé à une certaine distance du pied de lit. L'accessoire complémentaire amovible peut venir occuper cette partie. Autrement dit, l'accessoire est conformé et dimensionné pour prolonger ladite barrière latérale, lorsqu'elle est redressée, jusqu'à ladite autre extrémité du lit.In this case, the foldable side barrier extends, in the raised position, from the head of the bed and to an intermediate point of the length of the frame located at a distance from the footboard. The removable accessory can come occupy this part. In other words, the accessory is shaped and sized to extend said lateral barrier, when straightened, to said other end of the bed.

Cet accessoire est avantageusement conformé en barre de préhension. Ainsi, lorsque la barrière latérale rabattable est abaissée pour permettre au patient de sortir du lit, celui-ci peut saisir la barre de préhension qui comporte des parties coudées, notamment aux extrémités, facilitant la prise en main (suivant position figure 2).This accessory is advantageously shaped as a gripping bar. Thus, when the folding side barrier is lowered to allow the patient to get out of bed, it can grasp the gripping bar which has bent portions, including the ends, facilitating grip (according to Figure 2).

De façon simple, l'accessoire complémentaire peut être constitué par l'assemblage de tronçons cylindriques coudés, par exemple des éléments tubulaires coudés et soudés ensemble. Ces éléments peuvent être en métal ou en matière plastique.In a simple manner, the complementary accessory can be constituted by the assembly of angled cylindrical sections, for example tubular elements bent and welded together. These elements can be metal or plastic.

Pour sa fixation, l'accessoire complémentaire peut comporter au moins une branche libre susceptible d'être enfichée dans un manchon ou analogue, solidaire du châssis. Le manchon est placé en un emplacement tel que ledit accessoire s'étende le long de la partie restante de la longueur du lit.For its attachment, the complementary accessory may comprise at least one free branch may be plugged into a sleeve or the like, secured to the frame. The sleeve is placed in a location such that said accessory extends along the remaining portion of the length of the bed.

Selon un mode de réalisation possible, l'accessoire complémentaire comporte deux branches parallèles venant s'enficher en position verticale dans deux manchons voisins solidaires dudit châssis, prévus à l'emplacement choisi.According to a possible embodiment, the complementary accessory comprises two parallel branches coming into vertical position in two adjacent sleeves integral with said frame, provided at the chosen location.

Enfin, le lit comporte avantageusement plusieurs manchons ou paires de manchons (selon la structure de l'accessoire) solidaires du châssis et permettant de positionner la barre de préhension ou une ou plusieurs barres de préhension de ce genre, semblables, en plusieurs emplacements choisis le long du châssis. Par exemple, deux barres de préhension peuvent être disposées aux meilleurs emplacements pour faciliter sa sortie de lit.Finally, the bed advantageously comprises several sleeves or pairs of sleeves (depending on the structure of the accessory) secured to the frame and for positioning the gripping bar or one or more gripping bars of this kind, similar, in several locations selected on along the chassis. For example, two grab bars can be placed at the best locations to facilitate getting out of bed.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront mieux à la lumière de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation d'un lit conforme à l'invention muni d'une barrière latérale complète en deux parties s'étendant sur toute la longueur d'un côté longitudinal par combinaison d'une barrière latérale rabattable et dudit accessoire ;
  • la figure 2 illustre le même lit avec la barrière latérale rabattue et l'accessoire complémentaire déplacé en tête du lit pour faciliter la levée du patient ; et
  • la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2 avec deux accessoires offrant deux appuis d'aide à la sortie du lit.
The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear better in the light of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view in elevation of a bed according to the invention provided with a complete two-part lateral barrier extending over the entire length of a longitudinal side by combination of a foldable lateral barrier and said accessory ;
  • Figure 2 illustrates the same bed with the side barrier folded and the additional accessory moved to the head of the bed to facilitate the lifting of the patient; and
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 with two accessories providing two support supports at the exit of the bed.

En se rapportant aux dessins, on a représenté un lit de malade 11 comprenant classiquement plusieurs sous-ensembles, à savoir un châssis 13 monté sur roues 15 et comportant une embase 17, un cadre support 19 globalement horizontal et une literie 20 montée sur ce cadre. Un mécanisme de levage 18, commandé par vérin est agencé entre l'embase 17 et te cadre 19. Ce dernier peut donc être déplacé verticalement tout en restant horizontal. La literie comporte un sommier 21 constitué de plusieurs parties articulées les unes par rapport aux autres et un matelas 22. La forme du sommier peut donc être adaptée pour permettre au patient de prendre différentes positions : allongé, assis, etc.Referring to the drawings, there is shown a patient bed 11 conventionally comprising several subassemblies, namely a frame 13 mounted on wheels 15 and having a base 17, a support frame 19 generally horizontal and bedding 20 mounted on this frame . A lifting mechanism 18, actuated by jack is arranged between the base 17 and the frame 19. The latter can be moved vertically while remaining horizontal. The bedding comprises a bed base 21 consisting of several parts articulated to each other and a mattress 22. The shape of the bed base can be adapted to allow the patient to take different positions: lying, sitting, etc..

Le châssis 13 et plus particulièrement le cadre 19 portent une tête de lit 25 à une extrémité et un pied de lit 26 à l'autre extrémité. Ces deux extrémités sont donc sécurisées. Le long d'au moins un côté longitudinal du châssis, plus particulièrement le long du cadre 19, se trouve agencée une barrière latérale rabattable 30, du type à parallélogramme déformable.The frame 13 and more particularly the frame 19 carry a headboard 25 at one end and a footboard 26 at the other end. Both ends are secure. Along at least one longitudinal side of the frame, more particularly along the frame 19, is is arranged a foldable side barrier 30 of the deformable parallelogram type.

Comme représenté, cette barrière est constituée de tronçons cylindriques, articulés entres-eux, l'ensemble étant lui-même articulé au châssis, plus particulièrement au cadre 19, le long d'un côté longitudinal de celui-ci. Les tronçons cylindriques peuvent être des barres métalliques tubulaires ou des barres en matière plastique. En position redressée, la barrière latérale rabattable 30 s'étend à partir de la tête du lit jusqu'à un point intermédiaire A de la longueur du châssis, situé à une certaine distance du pied de lit 26. On distingue un montant 31 articulé au châssis autour d'un axe horizontal 32 et qui s'étend sensiblement verticalement au voisinage de la tête de lit lorsque la barrière est redressée, un autre montant 33 parallèle au montant 31 complété d'une barre de préhension 33a est articulé au châssis autour d'un axe horizontal 34 situé audit point intermédiaire. L'emplacement de ce dernier est choisi pour que la barrière, en position rabattue ne s'étende pas au-delà du lit, comme cela est visible sur la figure 2. Quatre longerons parallèles 36 sont articulés à leurs extrémités entre les deux montants.As shown, this barrier consists of cylindrical sections articulated between them, the assembly being itself articulated to the frame, more particularly to the frame 19, along a longitudinal side thereof. The cylindrical sections may be tubular metal bars or plastic bars. In the upright position, the foldable lateral barrier 30 extends from the head of the bed to an intermediate point A of the length of the frame, located at a distance from the footboard 26. There is an articulated upright 31 frame around a horizontal axis 32 and which extends substantially vertically in the vicinity of the headboard when the barrier is rectified, another amount 33 parallel to the upright 31 completed with a gripping bar 33a is articulated to the frame around a horizontal axis 34 located at said intermediate point. The location of the latter is chosen so that the barrier, in the folded position does not extend beyond the bed, as shown in Figure 2. Four parallel members 36 are articulated at their ends between the two uprights.

Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, on prévoit un accessoire complémentaire 40 amovible, susceptible d'être fixé audit châssis à au moins un emplacement de montage tel qu'il s'étende le long de la partie restante de la longueur du lit, entre la barrière latérale 30 en position redressée et l'autre extrémité du lit, c'est-à-dire ici le pied de lit 26According to an important characteristic of the invention, there is provided a removable additional accessory 40, capable of being fixed to said frame at at least one mounting location such that it extends along the remaining portion of the length of the bed, between the lateral barrier 30 in the upright position and the other end of the bed, that is to say here the footboard 26

Bien entendu, un agencement semblable à ce qui vient d'être décrit est de préférence prévu le long de chaque côté longitudinal du lit.Of course, an arrangement similar to that just described is preferably provided along each longitudinal side of the bed.

Comme cela est visible sur les dessins, l'accessoire complémentaire 40 est conformé en barre de préhension, c'est-à-dire que sa forme est étudiée pour qu'il puisse facilement être saisi par le patient.As shown in the drawings, the complementary accessory 40 is shaped as a gripping bar, that is to say that its shape is designed so that it can easily be grasped by the patient.

Dans l'exemple décrit, l'accessoire complémentaire est constitué par l'assemblage de tronçons cylindriques coudés, On distingue un premier tronçon 41 comportant une branche libre verticale 42 et coudé trois fois à 90°. L'extrémité de ce tronçon ne rejoint pas la branche libre 42. Un deuxième tronçon 43 est coudé une fois à 90° de façon à définir une branche libre 44 parallèle à celle du premier tronçon. Ce deuxième tronçon est soudé à l'extrémité du premier tronçon et approximativement au milieu de la partie verticale du premier tronçon qui se trouve parallèle à de ladite branche libre 42, L'accessoire complémentaire pourrait ne comporter qu'une seule branche libre. Il est visible que par sa forme et ses dimensions, il occupe tout l'espace restant entre la barrière latérale rabattable et le pied de lit, évitant ainsi qu'un patient puisse sortir du lit de sa propre initiative.In the example described, the complementary accessory is constituted by the assembly of curved cylindrical sections, there is a first section 41 having a vertical free branch 42 and bent three times at 90 °. The end of this section does not join the free branch 42. A second section 43 is bent once at 90 ° so as to define a free branch 44 parallel to that of the first section. This second section is welded at the end of the first section and approximately in the middle of the vertical portion of the first section which is parallel to said free branch 42, the complementary accessory could have only one free branch. It is obvious that by its shape and dimensions, it occupies all the space remaining between the folding side barrier and the footboard, thus preventing a patient from getting out of bed on his own initiative.

Les deux branches libres parallèles 42, 44 viennent s'enficher en position verticale dans deux manchons 48, 49 voisins solidaires du châssis et prévus à un emplacement choisi le long du cadre pour que ledit accessoire complémentaire puisse être placé à la position qu'il occupe sur la figure 1.The two parallel free branches 42, 44 are plugged vertically into two adjacent sleeves 48, 49 integral with the frame and provided at a selected location along the frame so that said complementary accessory can be placed in the position it occupies in Figure 1.

Dans l'exemple décrit, on a prévu au moins une autre paire de manchons 49a, 49a solidaires du châssis, prévue à un autre emplacement, proche de la tête de lit. Ces deux manchons tubulaires permettent d'accueillir l'accessoire complémentaire 40 ou un autre semblable 40a, utile, lorsque la barrière rabattable est abaissée, pour permettre au patient de s'aider d'une main et se redresser, éventuellement pour sortir du lit. Dans cette configuration on peut prévoir deux accessoires complémentaires semblables 40, 40a formant barres de préhension, comme représenté sur la figure 3, facilitant encore les déplacements du patient.In the example described, there is provided at least one other pair of sleeves 49a, 49a secured to the frame, provided at another location, close to the headboard. These two tubular sleeves can accommodate the complementary accessory 40 or another similar 40a, useful when the folding barrier is lowered, to allow the patient to help with one hand and straighten, possibly to get out of bed. In this configuration one can provide two similar complementary accessories 40, 40a forming gripping bars, as shown in Figure 3, further facilitating the movement of the patient.

La forme de l'accessoire complémentaire décrit ci-dessus est avantageuse pour y installer un boîtier de télécommande 50 (à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du lit quelle que soit la position dudit accessoire (figure 1 ou figure 2)
Ce boîtier est muni de moyens d'emboîtement 51 coopérant avec au moins un tronçon cylindrique de dudit accessoire complémentaire.
The form of the complementary accessory described above is advantageous for installing a remote control box 50 (inside or outside the bed regardless of the position of said accessory (Figure 1 or Figure 2)
This housing is provided with interlocking means 51 cooperating with at least one cylindrical section of said complementary accessory.
