Definitions
- the invention relates to an adjustable headrest unit for seat devices, in particular wheelchairs or Aufrichtrollstühle, with a headrest, with a holder which is attachable to the seat device and having a device for virtually horizontal adjustment of the headrest.
- the US 5,366,036 shows a Aufrichtrollstuhl with a height-adjustable rod-shaped holder. At this top a square pipe piece is welded, in which a four-sided headrest support can be moved horizontally with the headrest and fixed in the desired position. Of course, this adjustment can not be made by the disabled user of the wheelchair.
- US Pat. No. 3,730,589 shows a wheelchair with a vertical rod, to which a headrest is attached by means of a clamping device.
- This clamping device is designed so that it allows a vertical and horizontal adjustment of the headrest.
- the angle can also be adjusted in the vertical plane (column 2, line 65 to column 3, line 5). These adjustments can not be made by the disabled user of the wheelchair.
- the US 6, 726, 280 shows a mechanism in the form of a Hebelparallogrammes for simultaneous adjustment of a back support in the vertical and horizontal directions. For a headrest, however, this is not appropriate, because the wheelchair users should be able to make an adjustment in the horizontal direction, regardless of an adjustment in the vertical direction.
- a headrest for a dentist chair has a plate-shaped holder, which is attachable to the dentist chair.
- a first and a second plate-shaped lever are hinged at different altitudes, which extend upwards.
- the second plate-shaped lever has on each side a hook-shaped extension which projects into the housing of the headrest and has a roller which can run along an obliquely arranged guide.
- the first plate-shaped lever is hinged to a carriage, which carries the obliquely arranged guide and is movable by a motor back and forth to allow the pivoting positions of the headrest shown in Fig. 5, which for the dental treatment of the maxilla and the lower jaw are appropriate.
- This headrest does not allow virtually horizontal adjustment and is therefore completely unsuitable for wheelchairs.
- the headrest is intended to be adjusted in one direction, e.g. allow in virtually horizontal direction, without causing an additional adjustment in another direction. Next, the risk of pinching fingers or objects should be avoided.
- the lever mechanism is hinged at the top and not laterally on the holder, it is not noticeably moved in a vertical direction with a horizontal adjustment of the headrest. For the same reason, a slim and shapely construction of the headrest unit is possible. This contributes to the fact that the drive member can be mounted away from the user's head at a suitable location of the seat device. Another advantage is also that, for example, for the transport of the holder together with the lever mechanism and the headrest are easily removed can. Because the levers of the lever mechanism overlap each other in each of the various possible positions, there is no danger of pinching fingers or any objects. Since the lever mechanism can be made slim, it is also possible to make a disguise. This contributes to the aesthetics of the adjustable headrest unit. The same applies to the possibility of forming the lever mechanism arcuate.
- a link to the drive member could serve for example a rod.
- the headrest should be slightly height adjustable, this is not very practical.
- a flexible device such as a Bowden train used as a link. This allows easy height adjustment of the headrest.
- the lever mechanism may have a single lever, which is connected at the top with the headrest. This results in a very simple construction. More advantageous, however, is a lever parallelogram, because with such a movement of the headrest can be achieved, which better corresponds to the anatomical conditions of the user.
- the connection of the lever mechanism with the headrest can be designed rigid or articulated.
- locking means for the articulated connection can be provided.
- lever parallelogram has a first and a second lever, the articulation points are hinged down practically at the same height and at a distance from each other on the holder and above practically at the same height and at a distance from each other on a connecting piece.
- this connector is designed so that the distance between the articulation points is changeable. This allows an adaptation of the headrest movement to the anatomical conditions of the user.
- the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrated headrest unit 10 has a height-adjustable holder 11 which is vertically displaceable in a fastened to the seat assembly 12 guide 13 and in the desired position by locking means 15, z.Bsp. a set screw, can be determined.
- the holder 11 has at the top a plate 17 which carries a device 18 for virtually horizontal adjustment of a headrest 19.
- the device 18 is a lever mechanism, which via a connecting member 21 with a controllable by the user of the seat device drive member 23, z.Bsp. a linear motor connected.
- the connecting member 21 is a so-called Bowden train.
- a Bowden train is known to consist of a cable 25 and a sheath 27th
- the lever mechanism 18 is formed as a lever parallelogram.
- This lever parallelogram 18 has a first lever 33 and a second lever 35, which are arc-shaped and in each position of the Hebelparallelogramms 18 overlap each other ( FIGS. 4a-4c ).
- the levers 33, 35 may be surrounded by a panel (not shown).
- the first lever 33 is hinged at 37 below on the plate 17 and at the top at 39 on the connector 45.
- the second lever 35 is hinged at 41 at the bottom of the plate 17 and at the top 43 at the connector 45.
- the headrest 19 may be rigid or fixed with a hinge 46 on the connector 45.
- the Bowden train 21 connects the linear motor 23 with the lever mechanism 18.
- the sheath 27 of the Bowden cable 21 is connected to a movable part 29 of the linear motor 23, the cable 25, however, with a stationary part 31.
- Bei the lever mechanism 18, the sheath 27 of the Bowden cable 21 is attached to the arm 47 of the double-armed first lever 33.
- the cable 25 passes over a roller or pin 49 of the second lever 35 and is also secured to the lever arm 47.
- the headrest unit 10 can with a height-adjustable holder 13 on a seat device, z.Bsp. a wheelchair, to be attached.
- the headrest 19 can be controlled by the user to move horizontally to the desired position, without at the same time there is a noticeable and disturbing movement in the vertical direction. There is no annoying motor near the user's head.
- the headrest 19 is supported by a slender and shapely lever parallelogram 18 which is operatively connected to a flexible Bowden cable 21 with a remotely located motor 23. This flexible connection 21 not only allows the motor 23 to be located at a suitable location away from the user's head but also does not hinder a height adjustment of the headrest 19 by means of the vertical holder 11 and the set screws 15.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine verstellbare Kopfstützeneinheit der eingangs erwähnten Gattung zu schaffen, welche leicht vom Rollstuhlbenützer bedienbar ist und auch ästhetischen Ansprüchen genügt. Die Kopfstütze soll insbesondere eine Verstellung in einer Richtung, z.B. in praktisch horizontaler Richtung ermöglichen, ohne dass dabei zusätzlich eine Verstellung in einer anderen Richtung erfolgt. Weiter soll die Gefahr eines Einklemmens von Fingern oder Gegenständen vermieden werden.It is an object of the present invention to provide an adjustable headrest unit of the type mentioned, which is easily operated by the wheelchair user and also satisfies aesthetic requirements. In particular, the headrest is intended to be adjusted in one direction, e.g. allow in virtually horizontal direction, without causing an additional adjustment in another direction. Next, the risk of pinching fingers or objects should be avoided.
Erfindungsgemäss wird dies durch den Gegenstand von Anspruch 1 erreicht. Da im Gegensatz zum Gegenstand der
Als Verbindungsglied zum Antriebsorgan könnte beispielsweise eine Stange dienen. Weil aber die Kopfstütze leicht höhenverstellbar sein sollte, ist dies nicht besonders praktisch. Vorteilhaft wird daher als Verbindungsglied eine flexible Vorrichtung, z.B. ein Bowden-Zug, verwendet. Dies erlaubt problemlos eine Höhenverstellung der Kopfstütze.As a link to the drive member could serve for example a rod. But because the headrest should be slightly height adjustable, this is not very practical. Advantageously, therefore, a flexible device, such as a Bowden train used as a link. This allows easy height adjustment of the headrest.
Die Hebelmechanik kann einen einzigen Hebel aufweisen, der oben mit der Kopfstütze verbunden ist. Dies ergibt eine sehr einfache Konstruktion. Vorteilhafter ist jedoch ein Hebelparallelogramm, weil mit einem solchen eine Bewegung der Kopfstütze erzielt werden kann, die besser den anatomischen Gegebenheiten des Benützers entspricht. Die Verbindung der Hebelmechanik mit der Kopfstütze kann starr oder gelenkig ausgestaltet sein. Gegebenenfalls können auch Arretiermittel für die gelenkige Verbindung vorgesehen werden.The lever mechanism may have a single lever, which is connected at the top with the headrest. This results in a very simple construction. More advantageous, however, is a lever parallelogram, because with such a movement of the headrest can be achieved, which better corresponds to the anatomical conditions of the user. The connection of the lever mechanism with the headrest can be designed rigid or articulated. Optionally, locking means for the articulated connection can be provided.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung sieht vor, dass das Hebelparallelogramm einen ersten und einen zweiten Hebel aufweist, deren Anlenkstellen unten praktisch auf gleicher Höhe und in einem Abstand voneinander am Halter und oben praktisch auf gleicher Höhe und im Abstand voneinander an einem Verbindungsstück angelenkt sind.An advantageous embodiment provides that the lever parallelogram has a first and a second lever, the articulation points are hinged down practically at the same height and at a distance from each other on the holder and above practically at the same height and at a distance from each other on a connecting piece.
Vorteilhaft ist dieses Verbindungsstück so ausgestaltet, dass der Abstand zwischen den Anlenkstellen veränderbar ist. Dies erlaubt eine Anpassung der Kopfstützenbewegung an die anatomischen Gegebenheiten des Benützers.Advantageously, this connector is designed so that the distance between the articulation points is changeable. This allows an adaptation of the headrest movement to the anatomical conditions of the user.
