Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Badewannenlifter für Senioren oder Behinderte.The invention relates to a Badewannenlifter for seniors or disabled.
Badewannenlifter werden beispielsweise in Altenheimen und Krankenhäusern eingesetzt, um das Baden bzw. Waschen von Kranken, Behinderten oder älteren Personen in Badewannen oder dergleichen zu vereinfachen. Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Badewannenliftern ist, dass oftmals die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte nicht bzw. nur mit einem gewissen Aufwand voneinander trennbar sind. Diese Badewannenlifter werden daher häufig unter großen körperlichen Anstrengungen komplett transportiert oder aus der Badewanne herausgenommen.Bath tub lifters are used for example in nursing homes and hospitals to simplify the bathing or washing of the sick, disabled or elderly persons in bathtubs or the like. A disadvantage of these known bath tub lifters is that often the backrest and the seat plate are not separable or only with a certain effort. These bath tub lifters are therefore often completely transported or taken out of the bathtub with great physical effort.
Aus der
Hiervon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Badewannenlifter für Senioren oder Behinderte derart auszugestalten, dass das Herausnehmen bzw. Transportieren eines Badewannenlifters ohne größere Anstrengungen möglich ist.Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to design a bath lifter for the elderly or the disabled so that the removal or transporting a Badewannenlifters is possible without much effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Badewannenlifter umfasst
- ein Bodengestell zur Auflage auf einem Boden einer Badewanne,
- eine Sitzplatte und eine mit dieser in Verbindung stehende Rückenlehne,
- eine Hubeinrichtung zur Höhenverstellung der Sitzplatte und der Rückenlehne zwischen einer untersten und einer obersten Endposition,
wobei die Hubeinrichtung- -- eine an der Rückenlehne angebrachte Antriebseinrichtung aufweist, und
- -- ein durch die Antriebseinrichtung betätigbares, teleskopierbares Hubrohr aufweist,
- einen mit dem Hubrohr in Verbindung stehenden Spindelfuß zur Abstützung gegenüber dem Bodengestell, und
- eine selbsttätige Arretier-Freigabe-Einrichtung, die die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte oberhalb der untersten Endposition miteinander koppelt und die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte in der untersten Endposition voneinander freigibt, wobei die Arretier-Freigabe-Einrichtung umfasst
- -- mindestens einen an der Rückenlehne beweglich gelagerten Arretier-Bolzen zur Kopplung der Rückenlehne und der Sitzplatte oberhalb der untersten Endposition miteinander, und
- -- mindestens eine an der Sitzplatte ausgebildete Kulissen-Führung zur Betätigung des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens.
- a floor frame to rest on a floor of a bathtub,
- a seat panel and a backrest associated therewith,
- a lifting device for height adjustment of the seat plate and the backrest between a lowermost and an uppermost end position,
the lifting device- - Has a mounted on the backrest drive means, and
- a telescopic lifting tube which can be actuated by the drive device,
- a spindle foot communicating with the lifting tube for supporting the base frame, and
- an automatic locking release device coupling the backrest and the seat panel above the lowermost end position and releasing the backrest and the seat panel from each other in the lowermost end position, the lock release device comprising
- - At least one movably mounted on the backrest locking bolt for coupling the backrest and the seat plate above the lowest end position with each other, and
- - At least one formed on the seat plate gate guide for actuating the at least one locking bolt.
Wenn also die Sitzplatte und die Rückenlehne in die unterste Endposition ihres Verfahrwegs gefahren werden, werden die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte dort automatisch voneinander getrennt. Dies erfolgt lediglich durch deren Abwärts-Bewegung. Entsprechendes Werkzeug, wie es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Badewannenlifter hierfür erfordern, ist nicht notwendig. Die Rückenlehne mit der Antriebseinrichtung kann also separat ohne Montage-Arbeiten entnommen werden.So when the seat plate and the backrest are moved to the lowest end position of their travel, the backrest and the seat plate are automatically separated from each other. This is done only by their downward movement. Corresponding tool, as required by the prior art bathtub lifters for this purpose, is not necessary. The backrest with the drive device can therefore be removed separately without assembly work.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist der mindestens eine Arretier-Bolzen zwischen einer Freigabe-Position und einer Arretier-Position beweglich. In der Freigabe-Position sind die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte voneinander freigegeben, während sie in der Arretier-Position dagegen miteinander gekoppelt sind. Die entsprechenden Zustände werden durch die jeweilige Stellung des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens erzielt.According to an advantageous embodiment, the at least one locking bolt between a release position and a locking position is movable. In the release position, the backrest and the seat plate are released from each other, while they are coupled together in the locked position on the other hand. The corresponding states are achieved by the respective position of the at least one locking bolt.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die mindestens eine Kulissen-Führung einen Trag-Abschnitt zur Kopplung der Rückenlehne und der Sitzplatte miteinander aufweist. Vorteilhafterweise weist die mindestens eine Kulissen-Führung auch einen Überführungs-Abschnitt zum Betätigen des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens auf. Durch die mindestens eine Kulissen-Führung werden demgemäß die Stellungen des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens herbeigeführt.It is advantageous if the at least one slotted guide has a support section for coupling the backrest and the seat plate to one another. Advantageously, the at least one link guide also has a transfer section for actuating the at least one locking bolt. The positions of the at least one locking bolt are accordingly brought about by the at least one link guide.
Vorzugsweise verläuft der Überführungs-Abschnitt schräg gegenüber einer Vertikalen, Durch den schrägen Verlauf des Überführungs-Abschnitts wird der mindestens eine Arretier-Bolzen gleichmäßig und langsam zwischen seinen Stellungen überführt.Preferably, the transfer section extends obliquely with respect to a vertical, the oblique course of the transfer section of the at least one locking pin is smoothly and slowly transferred between its positions.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist der mindestens eine Arretier-Bolzen eine Längs-Mittel-Achse auf. Es ist zweckmäßig, dass der mindestens eine Arretier-Bolzen ein mit der mindestens einen Kulissen-Führung zusammenwirkendes Ende aufweist, wobei dieses Ende eine zu der Längs-Mittel-Achse schräg verlaufende Schräg-Flache und eine zu der Längs-Mittel-Achse im wesentlichen senkrecht verlaufende Anlage-Fläche umfasst. Durch die Schräg-Fläche wird wieder eine gleichmäßige Versetzung des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens zwischen seinen Stellungenbewirkt. Im Bereich der Anlage-Fläche sind die Rückenlehne und die Sitzplatte miteinander gekoppelt.According to an advantageous embodiment, the at least one locking bolt has a longitudinal center axis. It is expedient that the at least one locking bolt has an end cooperating with the at least one link guide, said end having a slanted surface oblique to the longitudinal center axis and a substantially oblique plane to the longitudinal center axis vertically extending contact surface comprises. The inclined surface again causes a uniform displacement of the at least one locking bolt between its positions. In the area of the contact surface, the backrest and the seat plate are coupled together.
Es ist von Vorteil, wenn mit dem mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzen ein radial vorspringendes Sicherungs-Element in Verbindung steht. Dieses Sicherungs-Element dient als Verliersicherung des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens.It is advantageous if a radially projecting securing element is connected to the at least one locking bolt. This securing element serves as a captive of the at least one locking bolt.
Die Arretier-Freigabe-Einrichtung umfasst vorzugsweise mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzen, der beweglich ist zwischen
- einer Arretier-Position zur Kopplung einer Rückenlehne und einer Sitzplatte eines Badewanenlifters miteinander, und
- einer Freigabe-Position zur Freigabe der Rückenlehne und der Sitzplatte voneinander,
- a locking position for coupling a backrest and a seat plate of a bath tub lifter with each other, and
- a release position for releasing the backrest and the seat plate from each other,
Eine externe Fremd-Betätigung zum Verlagern des mindestens einen Arretier-Bolzens ist folglich wieder nicht erforderlich. Die Arretier-Freigabe-Einrichtung dient zur Verbindung der Rückenlehne mit der Sitzplatte und deren Freigabe von der Sitzplatte.An external third-party operation for displacing the at least one locking bolt is therefore again not required. The lock release device serves to connect the backrest to the seat plate and release it from the seat plate.

Die Sitzplatte 2 weist eine nach oben gewandte, im wesentlichen horizontale Sitzfläche auf, von welcher mehrere Vertikai-Stege nach unten vorspringen. Sie umfasst zwei innere, parallel zueinander verlaufende Vertikal-Stege 21, zwei mittlere, parallel zueinander verlaufende Vertikal-Stege 22 und zwei äußere, parallel zueinander verlaufende Vertikal-Stege 23. Die Vertikal-Stege 21, 22 und 23 verlaufen auch parallel zueinander. Die beiden Vertikal-Stege 21 können auch einstückig ausgebildet sein. Sie sind dann durch einen entsprechenden vorderen Verbindungssteg miteinander verbunden. Ebenso können auch die Vertikal-Stege 22 und 23 entsprechend einstückig ausgebildet sein. An bzw. in jedem Vertikal-Steg 21 ist innenseitig eine Kulissen-Führung 24 vorgesehen. Die Sitzplatte 2 weist insgesamt zwei kreissegmentförmige, identische Kulissen-Führungen 24 auf. Die nutartigen, nach innen offenen Kulissen-Führungen 24 werden jeweils durch einen unteren Stopp-Abschnitt 26, einen Überiuhrungs-Abschnitt 25, einen Anschlag-Abschnitt 27 und einen oberen Trag-Abschnitt 28 gebildet. Der Anschlag-Abschnitt 27 erstreckt sich vertikal, während der sich unten an den Anschlag-Abschnitt 27 anschließende Überführungs-Abschnitt 25 schräg nach außen zu dem horizontalen Stopp-Abschnitt 26 verläuft. Der Stopp-Abschnitt 26 endet an einer Innenwandung 29 des entsprechenden Vertikal-Stegs 21. Der Trag-Abschnitt 28 grenzt oben an den Anschlag-Abschnitt 27 an und verläuft senkrecht zu diesen. Die Krümmung des vorspringenden Trag-Abschnitts 28 entspricht im wesentlichen der Krümmung eines Arretier-Bolzens 12 im Bereich seines äußeren Endes 16. Der Abstand eines Anschlag-Abschnitts 27 zu der entsprechenden Innenwandung 29 entspricht in etwa der projizierten Horizontal-Erstreckung der Schräg-Fläche 19. Ebenso sind die Neigung der Schräg-Fläche 19 und des Überführungs-Abschnitts 25 im wesentlichen identisch. Die Kulissen-Führungen 24 sind im Bereich der Anschlag-Abschnitte 27 am tiefsten. Seitlich an der Sitzplatte 2 sind zwei äußere Seiten-Klappen 30 angelenkt.The

Die Freigabe-Abschnitte 33 der beiden Führungs-Ausnehmungen 32 verlaufen parallel zueinander und erstrecken sich in Richtung der Längs-Mittel-Achse 35 des Hubrohrs 4. Sie sind gegenüber dem runden Mantel des Hubrohrs 4 nach innen, d.h. aufeinander zu versetzt. Die Schräg-Abschnitte 34 verlaufen von den Freigabe-Abschnitten 33 nach oben außen ― also voneinander weg ― und enden unten an dem Mantel des Hubrohrs 4. Sie befinden sich im Bereich des Hubrohrs 4, wo dieses seinen größten Durchmesser aufweist. Die horizontale Breite der Freigabe- und Schräg-Abschnitte 33, 34 entspricht in etwa der horizontalen Breite der Anlage-Flächen 17 der Arretier-Bolzen 12. Die Neigung der Schräg-Abschnitte 34 entspricht in etwa der Neigung der Schräg-Flächen 18. Die Führungs-Ausnehmungen 32 sind nach außen offen und sind einseitig durch eine Führungs-Wand 36 begrenzt.With the lower end of the lifting
Nachfolgend wird die Funktion des erfindungsgemäßen Badewannenlifters näher beschrieben. Das Hubrohr 4, dessen Außenrohr über BefestigungsElemente 37 an der Rückenlehne 3 hinten angebracht ist, ist durch die betätigbare Antriebseinrichtung 5 ein- bzw, ausfahrbar. Hierdurch können die Sitzplatte 2 und die Rückenlehne 3 wunschgemäß in der Höhe verstellt werden. Die durch die Träger 9, 10 gebildete Hübschere bewirkt dabei eine Führung.The function of the bathtub lifter according to the invention will be described in more detail below. The lifting

Bei einer Höhenverstellung der Sitzplatte 2 und der Rückenlehne 3 bewegen sich die Anlage-Flächen 17 entlang des Hubrohrs 4 auf dessen Mantel. Außerdem liegen die Anlage-Flächen 20 an den Anschlag-Abschnitten 27 an.In a height adjustment of the

Durch die Schräg-Flächen 19 wird eine besonders gute Führung der Arretier-Bolzen 12 entlang der Führungs-Abschnitte 25 bewerkstelligt.By the
Wenn die Sitzplatte 2 und die Rückenlehne 3 aus dieser untersten Endposition wieder nach oben gefahren werden, werden die Arretier-Bolzen 12 durch die Schräg-Abschnitte 34 des Spindelfußes 31 und die Schräg-Flächen 19 der Kulissen-Führungen 24 in umgekehrter Weise voneinander weg bewegt, wodurch eine Kopplung der Sitzplatte 2 an der Rückenlehne 3 erreicht wird. Die Schräg-Flächen 18 sorgen dabei dafür, dass die Arretier-Bolzen 12 störungsfrei entlang der Schräg-Abschnitte 34 gleiten Können. Die Schräg-Flächen 19 dienen auch dazu, dass eventuell nicht ganz zurückgeschobene Arretier-Bolzen 12 beim Aufstellen der Rückenlehne 3 in die äußere Endposition zurückgeschoben werden.When the
Die Verriegelung zwischen Sitzplatte 2 und Rückenlehne 3 wird also durch den normalen Bewegungsablauf der Sitzplatte 2 und der Rückenlehne 3 gesteuert. Die Verriegelung wird dabei selbsttätig herbeigeführt wenn die Sitzplatte 2 und die Rückenlehne 3 aus der untersten Endposition nach oben gefahren werden. Beim Absenken in die unterste Endposition wird diese Verriegelung selbsttätig aufgehoben. Es liegt also eine Zwangssteuerung durch die Kulissen-Führungen 24 vor.The lock between the

Der erfindungsgemäße Badewannenlifter zeichnet sich durch die besonders geringe Anzahl von Bauteilen aus. Außerdem erfolgt die Betätigung der Arretier-Bolzen 12 nahezu geräuschlos.The bathtub lifter according to the invention is characterized by the particularly small number of components. In addition, the actuation of the locking
