Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rahmen für einen Rollstuhl gemäβ dem Anspruch 1, an dem Räder und ein Sitz befestigbar sind, mit einem Sitzflächenabschnitt zur Aufnahme einer Sitzfläche und einem Rückenlehnenabschnitt zur Aufnahme einer Rückenlehne, welche in eine im wesentlichen parallel zur Sitzfläche verlaufende Position klappbar ist.The invention relates to a frame for a wheelchair according to
Die Erfindung betrifft ebenfalls einen Rollstuhl mit einem derartigen Rahmen, an dem Räder und ein Sitz mit Sitzfläche und Rückenlehne befestigt sind.The invention also relates to a wheelchair with such a frame, are attached to the wheels and a seat with seat and backrest.
Generell sind verschiedene Rollstuhlarten bekannt. Ein sogenannter Faltrollstuhl ist meist mit einem X-förmigen Gestell versehen, welches flach zusammenfaltbar ist. Im zusammengefalteten, flachen Zustand weist der Rollstuhl zwischen seinen beiden Antriebsrädern nur eine geringe Breite auf. Diese Rollstühle lassen sich in dieser Transportstellung leicht transportieren oder verstauen. Sie sind aufgrund des Faltgestells allerdings relativ schwer. Ferner sind sie in der Regel mit Bespannungen für die Sitzfläche und die Rückenlehne versehen, welche nur eine geringe Stabilität gewährleisten. Außerdem bieten Bespannungen nur einen begrenzten Halt für den aufgenommenen Patienten. In der Regel erstrecken sie sich in einer Ebene oder in einer gewölbten Fläche. Eine besondere Anpassung der Bespannung in Abhängigkeit von den physiognomischen Gegebenheiten der aufgenommenen Person ist nicht möglich.In general, various types of wheelchairs are known. A so-called folding wheelchair is usually provided with an X-shaped frame, which is flat collapsible. In the folded, flat state, the wheelchair has only a small width between its two drive wheels. These wheelchairs can be easily transported or stowed in this transport position. However, they are relatively heavy due to the folding frame. Furthermore, they are usually provided with coverings for the seat and the backrest, which ensure only a low stability. In addition, clothing offers only limited support for the patient being admitted. As a rule, they extend in a plane or in a curved surface. A special adaptation of the clothing as a function of the physiognomic conditions of the recorded person is not possible.
Ferner sind sogenannte Aktiv-Rollstühle oder therapeutische Rollstühle bekannt, bei denen in der Regel der Rahmen starr ausgebildet ist. Der starre Rahmen gewährleistet eine hohe Stabilität des Rollstuhls. Rückenlehne und Sitzfläche können mit einer Polsterung versehen werden, die individuell auf die Bedürfnisse des Patienten abgestimmt wird. Bei Rollstühlen mit starren Rahmen ist allerdings die platzsparende Verstauung oder das Falten in eine Transportstellung nicht möglich.Furthermore, so-called active wheelchairs or therapeutic wheelchairs are known in which usually the frame is rigid. The rigid frame ensures high stability of the wheelchair. Backrest and seat can be provided with a padding that is individually tailored to the needs of the patient. For wheelchairs with rigid frame, however, the space-saving stowage or folding in a transport position is not possible.
Die Rollstühle werden sowohl als Komplettprodukt als auch in Modulen vertrieben. Bei einer individuellen Anpassung der Sitzschale an den aufzunehmenden Patienten wird z.B. das Fahrwerk mit dem Rahmen von der Sitzschale getrennt vertrieben.The wheelchairs are distributed both as a complete product and in modules. In the case of an individual adaptation of the seat shell to the patient to be admitted, e.g. the chassis with the frame sold separately from the seat.
Aus der Druckschrift
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Rahmen für einen Rollstuhl zu schaffen, der auf neue Weise platzsparend angeordnet werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a framework for a wheelchair, which can be arranged to save space in a new way.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfingdungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Rahmen steif ausgebildet ist und daß der Rückenlehnenabschnitt in eine Transportposition innerhalb des Rahmens und unterhalb des Sitzflächenabschnitts klappbar ist.This object is achieved erfingdungsgemäß that the frame is rigid and that the backrest portion is folded into a transport position within the frame and below the seat surface portion.
Durch diese Maßnahme ist es möglich, den Rückenlehnenabschnitt vollständig innerhalb des Rahmens aufzunehmen. Der Rückenlehnenabschnitt und die an ihm befestigten Bauteile nehmen dann beim Lagern oder beim Transport keinen zusätzlichen Platz ein. Insbesondere wenn an dem Rückenlehnenabschnitt eine Rückenlehne und Pelotten befestigt sind, bringt das Verstauen des Rückenlehnenabschnittes unterhalb der Sitzfläche einen erheblichen Platzgewinn. Der Rahmen selbst kann sehr steif und stabil ausgeführt sein, so daß er der darin aufgenommenen Person einen optimalen Halt bietet. Der Rahmen kann mit einer separaten Sitzschale bestückt werden, die zum Transport oder zur Lagerung abgenommen werden kann. Der Rahmen selbst kann aber auch fest mit den Elementen des Sitzes verbunden werden, wobei die Rückenlehne und die daran befestigten Elemente beim Zusammenklappen des Rahmens mit in den Raum unterhalb des Sitzflächenabschnittes des Rahmens geklappt wird.By this measure, it is possible to completely accommodate the backrest portion within the frame. The backrest portion and the components attached to it then take during storage or during transport no additional space. In particular, when a backrest and pads are attached to the backrest portion, the stowage of the backrest portion below the seat brings a considerable amount of space. The frame itself can be made very stiff and stable, so that it provides the person in it an optimal grip. The frame can be equipped with a separate seat shell, which can be removed for transport or storage. The frame itself can also be firmly connected to the elements of the seat, the backrest and the elements attached thereto is folded when folding the frame with in the space below the seat portion of the frame.
Pelotten sind gepolsterte Flächen, welche gegen den Körper der Patienten anliegen und ihn so in dem Sitz stabilisieren. Insbesondere sind an den Rückenlehnen von Rollstühlen derartige Stützelemente angebracht, die flach ausgebildet sind und seitlich gegen den Rumpf des Patienten im Bereich seines Brustkorbes anliegen. Patienten, welche keine stabile Sitzposition einnehmen können, werden durch solche Stützpelotten in dem Sitz stabilisiert. Ferner verbessern diese Stützpelotten bei Aktivrollstühlen den sicheren und festen Halt des in den Rollstuhl aufgenommenen Patienten. Bei Rollstühlen mit Stützpelotten ist es nicht einfach möglich - wie in der
Aus diesem Grunde schlägt die Erfindung vor, wenn Pelotten an der Rückenlehne befestigt sind, diese für Transport und Lagerung innerhalb des Rahmens unterhalb der Sitzfläche anzuordnen.For this reason, the invention proposes, when pads are attached to the backrest to arrange them for transport and storage within the frame below the seat.
In einer praktischen Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird dies auf praktische Weise dadurch erreicht, daß das vordere Ende des Sitzflächenabschnitts des Rahmens schwenkbar und das hintere Ende des Sitzflächenabschnitts lösbar an dem Rahmen befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise läßt sich der hintere Rand der Sitzfläche lösen und nach vorne und oben verschwenken. In dieser Stellung befindet sich der hintere Rand der Sitzfläche sich in einem großen Abstand zum Rahmen. Vorzugsweise ist zusätzlich das untere Ende des Rückenlehnenabschnitts des Rahmens schwenkbar und mindestens in einer Schwenkposition arretierbar am hinteren Ende des Sitzflächenabschnitts befestigt. Bei gelöstem hinteren Ende der Sitzfläche läßt sich so die Rückenlehne um das hintere Ende der Sitzfläche herum schwenken, bis die Rückenlehne im wesentlichen in einer zur Sitzfläche parallelen Ebene liegt. Anschließend kann die Sitzfläche mit der Rückenlehne zurück in ihre waagerechte Position verschwenkt werden. Wenn an dem Rückenlehnenabschnitt des Rahmens Stützpelotten befestigt sind, ragen diese in dieser Stellung in den Rahm innerhalb des Rahmens und unterhalb der Sitzfläche. In dieser Stellung kann das hintere Ende der Sitzfläche wieder an dem Rahmen befestigt werden.In a practical embodiment of the invention, this is accomplished in a practical manner by pivotally attaching the front end of the seat bottom portion of the frame and releasably securing the rear end of the seat bottom portion to the frame. In this way, the rear edge of the seat can be solved and pivot forward and upward. In this position, the rear edge of the seat is located at a great distance from the frame. Preferably, in addition, the lower end of the backrest portion of the frame is pivotable and at least in a pivoting position lockably attached to the rear end of the seat portion. With the rear end of the seat dissolved, the seat back can be pivoted about the rear end of the seat until the seat back lies substantially in a plane parallel to the seat. Subsequently, the seat can be pivoted with the backrest back to its horizontal position. When support pads are attached to the backrest portion of the frame, they protrude into the frame within the frame and below the seat in this position. In this position, the rear end of the seat can be re-attached to the frame.
In der Praxis kann die Rückenlehne bzw. der Rückenlehnenabschnitt auch in verschiedenen Schwenkpositionen an dem hinteren Ende des Sitzflächenabschnitts arretierbar sein. So kann sich die Sitzposition des Rollstuhls variabel an die Bedürfnisse des Patienten anpassen lassen, indem der Neigungswinkel der Rückenlehne verändert wird.In practice, the backrest or the backrest portion may also be lockable in different pivotal positions at the rear end of the seat surface portion. Thus, the seating position of the wheelchair can be variably adapted to the needs of the patient by the inclination angle of the backrest is changed.
Wie bei Rollstühlen gemäß dem Stand der Technik können Sitzfläche und/oder Rückenlehne und/oder Stützpelotten mit einer Polsterung versehen sein. Die Polsterung kann mit einem Schutzbezug versehen sein. Es gibt aber auch geschäumte Kunststoffpolster, die ohne Schutzbezug eingesetzt werden.As with prior art wheelchairs, the seat and / or backrest and / or support pads may be padded. The padding may be provided with a protective cover. But there are also foamed plastic pads that are used without protective cover.
Ferner ist der Rahmen - wie ebenfalls aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt - mit großen Antriebsrädern im hinteren Bereich sowie mit kleineren Lenkrädern im vorderen Bereich ausgestattet. Mit dem Begriff "Lenkrad" wird bei einem Rollstuhl das kleine vordere Rad bezeichnet, dessen Radachse um eine vertikale Achse drehbar an dem Rahmen befestigt ist und in bezug auf diese vertikale Achse einen Nachlauf aufweist. Ein Rollstuhl weist in der Regel zwei Lenkräder auf. Die Lenkräder stützen den Rollstuhl gegen Kippen nach vorne und zur Seite und ermöglichen durch die drehbare Befestigung um eine vertikale Achse ein Lenken des Rollstuhls.Further, the frame is - as also known from the prior art - equipped with large drive wheels in the rear area and with smaller steering wheels in the front area. The term "steering wheel" is referred to in a wheelchair, the small front wheel, the wheel axle is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis on the frame and has a caster with respect to this vertical axis. A wheelchair usually has two steering wheels. The steering wheels support the wheelchair against tilting forwards and to the side and allow by the rotatable attachment about a vertical axis steering the wheelchair.
Auch können an dem Rahmen Fußstützen befestigt werden. Entweder kann eine Fußstütze für beide Füße des Patienten oder zwei individuell zueinander verstellbare Fußstützen vorgesehen werden.Also footrests can be attached to the frame. Either a footrest for both feet of the patient or two individually adjustable footrests can be provided.
Für die Befestigung der Antriebsräder weist jede Seite des Rahmens vorzugsweise ein Achslager mit einer Schnellaufnahme für eine Achse des Antriebsrads auf. Auf diese Weise lassen sich die großen Antriebsräder schnell von dem Rahmen lösen, beispielsweise wenn der Rollstuhl transportiert oder verstaut werden soll.For the attachment of the drive wheels, each side of the frame preferably has an axle bearing with a quick receptacle for an axis of the drive wheel. In this way, the large drive wheels can be quickly detached from the frame, for example, when the wheelchair is to be transported or stowed.

Das Gelenk- und Verbindungselement 24 weist ferner eine Lochplatte 23 auf, in der eine Lochreihe entlang eines Kreisbogens angeordnet ist, der sich um eine Aufnahmebohrung für eine Schwenkachse 25 erstreckt. An der Schwenkachse 25 ist die Seitenstrebe 17 der Rückenlehne schwenkbar angelenkt. Die Seitenstrebe 17 weist eine Arretierungsbohrung 26 auf, deren Abstand zur Schwenkachse 25 dem Abstand der Löcher auf der Lochplatte zur Schwenkachse 25 entspricht. Durch Einfügen eines Paßstiftes, welcher die Arretierungsbohrung 26 und ein Loch auf der Lochplatte 23 durchragt, kann der Rückenlehnenabschnitt 34 und damit die Rückenlehne 2 in verschiedenen Winkeln in bezug auf die Seitenteile 6,7 des Rahmens 5 arretiert werden.The joint and connecting
Wie in den Zeichnungen erkennbar, weist der Rahmen 5 zwei Seitenteile 6,7 auf, die über quer verlaufende Elemente derart verbunden sind, daß die Rohre die Seitenteile 6,7 in der Richtung quer zu ihren Rohrachsen zueinander parallel verschoben sind. Jedes Seitenteil 6,7 weist ein identisches Gelenk- und Verbindungselement 24 auf, so daß beide Seitenstreben 17 der Rückenlehne 2 auf identische Weise gegenüber den entsprechenden Gelenk- und Verbindungselementen 24 verschwenkt werden können.As can be seen in the drawings, the

Es ist zu beachten, daß das Verschwenken des Sitzes 1 zum Rahmen 5 und der Rückenlehne 2 zum Sitz 1 auch auf andere Weise erfolgen kann, so lange in der Transport- und Lagerungsposition des Sitzes die Stützpelotten 3,4 in den Raum innerhalb des Rahmens 5 und unterhalb der Sitzfläche 1 ragen. Auf diese Weise läßt sich das Transportvolumen der Sitzanordnung erheblich reduzieren.It should be noted that the pivoting of the
In dem Fall, in dem der Rahmen 5 eine abnehmbare Sitzschale aufnimmt oder einzelne Polsterelemente abnehmbar an dem Sitzflächenabschnitt 33 und an dem Rückenlehnenabschnitt 34 an dem Rahmen befestigt sind, können zuerst die lösbaren Elemente vom Rahmen entfernt werden und dann der Sitzflächenabschnitt 33 und Rückenlehnenabschnitt 34 in der zuvor beschriebenen Weise verschwenkt werden, so daß der Rahmen 5 die kompakte Form erhält.In the case where the
Wie erwähnt, sind die Gelenke 14, die Gelenk- und Verbindungselemente 24 sowie die komplementären Bohrungen an Rückenlehne 2 und am Rahmen 5 im Bereich beider Seitenteile 6,7 des Rahmens 5 angeordnet. Die Sitzanordnung erhält somit in der in

Ein Antriebsrad 29 ist auf jeder Seite des Rahmens 5 über ein Achslager 30 befestigt, welches an einer Befestigungsstrebe 31 zwischen dem oberen Schenkel des Aussteifungsrohrs 18 und dem unteren Rohr 10 festgeschweißt ist. Das Achslager 30 kann mit einer Schnellaufnahme für die Achse des Antriebsrads 29 versehen sein, so daß für den Transport oder die Lagerung des Rollstuhls das Antriebsrad 29 schnell von dem Achslager 30 entfernt werden kann. Alle dargestellten Elemente, nämlich Lenkräder 27, Fußstützen 28 und Antriebsräder 29 sind an beiden Seitenteilen 6,7 des
Rahmens 5 angeordnet.A
