Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower and toilet chair according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a shower/toilet chair is known from the German Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 202 18 195 U1 . Described herein is a height-adjustable, mobile shower chair in which the telescopically operating height adjustment consists of two sets of tubes, of which the one set are tubes slidable in and out of each other by means of a drive and the other set only provide the guiding.
  • the sets of tubes of this known adjusting mechanism are however located in this known chair in the space directly beneath the sides of the chair seat, so on the side of the backrest directed toward the seat.
  • This chair hereby has inconvenient obstacles between the chair seat and the longitudinal bars connecting the wheels.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a shower/toilet chair as according to the preamble of claim 1 which, while retaining essentially the same functionality, has no inconvenient obstacles under the sides of the chair seat and can take a compact form.
  • the shower/toilet chair is easy to clean and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • Both the function of raising and lowering the secondary frame when adjusting the height of the chair and the function of guiding the secondary frame during the height adjustment are preferably carried out by the frame tubes of the telescopic guiding.
  • the frame tubes are therefore embodied so as to form the only load-bearing coupling between the support frame and the secondary frame.
  • the frame tubes extend on either side of the backrest, which enhances the stability during raising and lowering of the secondary frame.
  • each second frame tube is connected at its upper end to the secondary frame by means of a pivoting connection.
  • the secondary frame of the shower/toilet chair with seat and backrest can be tilted rearward in any height position, so that a person standing next to the chair can easily wash the hair of and attend to the feet of a person sitting in the chair.
  • each second frame tube and the secondary frame are situated close to the top side of the backrest, and extending rods are mounted between respectively one of the front corner points of the chair seat and one of the lower ends of the second frame tubes, and drive means are present for tilting the shower/toilet chair by telescopically sliding the frame tubes.
  • this achieves that the centre of gravity of the chair is displaced to a higher position slightly to the rear during the telescopic adjustment, thus forming a compensation for the forward displacement of the centre of gravity during rearward tilting of the chair via pivoting about the upper side of the backrest.
  • This has the advantage that the distance between the front and the rear wheels can remain limited without the risk that the chair can fall over easily in its highest and/or tilted position.
  • An alternative embodiment of a shower/toilet chair wherein the pivoting connections between each second frame tube and the secondary frame are situated close to the underside of the backrest, has the advantage that a shorter telescopic guiding is necessary, which enables the same height adjustment of the chair with the use of a telescopic guiding consisting of for instance three parts.
  • Embodying the drive for the height adjustment of the chair as a linear actuator which can be operated by an electric motor achieves that the motor can be concealed in the backrest or in the upper part of the second frame tubes so that, particularly in the latter case, a very good watertight seal is possible in simple manner.
  • a relatively long arm is fixedly connected at an outer end to the rotation shaft about which the head support is rotatable
  • a relatively short arm is rotatably connected at an outer end to a low-lying part of the backrest
  • the other outer ends of the long and short arm are connected rotatably to each other at a rotation point lying on the side, remote from the backrest, of the plane passing through the rotation shaft of the head support and the fastening point of the short arm to the backrest.
  • the head support 11 tilts less far to the rear (for instance 20°) than the rest of the chair (for instance 30°). This is to ensure that a person sitting in the chair does not have the feeling of falling backwards when the chair is tilted rearward.
  • Figure 1 shows a height-adjustable and tiltable shower chair which can also be used as a toilet chair in the shown, non-adjusted situation.
  • the chair consists of two frames, a support frame 1 and a secondary frame 2.
  • Support frame 1 comprises two tubular longitudinal bars 3 which are mutually connected at their front ends by means of a likewise tubular crossbar 4.
  • Longitudinal bars 3 bear swivel wheels 6 at their front ends and swivel wheels 7 at their rear ends.
  • Crossbar 4 is situated as far to the front of the chair as possible so as to enable unimpeded sliding of longitudinal bars 3 along the toilet bowl during use as a toilet chair.
  • Secondary frame 2 is formed substantially by a tube frame 8 to which a chair seat 9 and a backrest 10 are fixed.
  • a head support 11, two footrests 12 and two armrests 13 are further fixed to tube frame 8.
  • each tube 15 Fixed onto each of longitudinal bars 3 of support frame 1 is a tube 15 which protrudes upward while inclining slightly to the rear. As seen from the front side of the chair, the point of attachment 14 lies beyond the centre of longitudinal bars 3. Dropping round each tube 15 is a tube 16, which forms a telescopic guiding together with tube 15. At their top outer ends tubes 16 are fixed to tube frame 8 of secondary frame 2 on either side of the upper edge of backrest 10.
  • a per se known linear actuator 17 is arranged inside each set of tubes 15 and 16 slidable into each other as a telescopic guiding.
  • Such an actuator comprises a spindle in the one tube which co-acts with a nut in the other tube.
  • An electric motor for rotating the spindle can be incorporated in the backrest or, in a very compact embodiment, in the upper part of each tube 16.
  • Linear actuators are a normal commercial product, for instance type LA 22 from the firm LINAK, for forming a compact construction for the direct conversion of a rotating movement to a linear movement, and do not therefore require detailed explanation.
  • Actuator 17 consists of three main components: motor, gear transmission and spindle including nut. The spindle part and the nut form the heart of actuator 17. The transmission transmits the rotation movement of the motor to the spindle.
  • Extending rod assemblies consisting of two tubes 18 and 19 sliding telescopically into each other are mounted under each side of chair seat 9 for the purpose of tilting the chair rearward.
  • Tube 18 is mounted at an outer end on tube frame 8 of secondary frame 2 under one of the front corner points of chair seat 9.
  • Tubes 19 are each mounted at their free end on one of the lower ends of frame tubes 16.
  • Each set of tubes 18,19 is embodied as a linear actuator (not shown) of the same type as actuator 17.
  • brackets 21 and 22 connecting frame tubes 16 are arranged for moving the chair. These brackets also ensure a good stability of the chair in transverse direction.
  • the upper bracket 21 is suitable for a somewhat taller operating person and lower bracket 22 for a somewhat shorter person and for allowing easy moving of the chair in its upwardly adjusted position.
  • Figure 2 shows the chair in its lowest position. In this position a person can sit down in the chair and get out of the chair, and the chair can serve as toilet chair.
  • the chair can also be tilted rearward (shown with broken lines), for instance in order to attend the feet of a person sitting in the chair.
  • Figure 3 shows the chair in its highest position. In this position a person sitting in the chair can easily be helped during showering without the caring person having to bend. The latter is also the case when the chair is tilted rearward in the highest position (shown with broken lines), for instance for washing the hair of a person sitting in the chair.
  • FIG. 4-6 The details of an embodiment of a shower/toilet chair according to the invention shown in figures 4-6 relate to an adjustable head support 11 above backrest 10 of the chair.
  • head support 11 tilts less far back (for instance 20') than the rest of the chair (for instance 30') when the chair is tilted rearward. This is to ensure that a person sitting in the chair does not get the feeling of falling backward when the chair is tilted rearward. This sensation is easily created when the head support tilts rearward to the same extent as the seat and backrest of the chair. Tilting the head support less far to the rear achieves according to the invention that the person sitting in the chair remains looking straight ahead more instead of at the ceiling, and is thus given less of a sensation of falling backward.
  • FIG. 4 An example of a transmission mechanism 27 for achieving the above stated tilting of the head support is shown in figure 4 .
  • Figures 5 and 6 show a shower/toilet chair provided with such a mechanism in its extreme positions.
  • This mechanism essentially consisting of a 4-rod mechanism, will now be described with reference to figure 4 . It will be apparent that there are other mechanisms for realizing said tilting of the head support, for instance mechanisms with a different number of rods or a mechanism in which use is made of a gear transmission, these mechanisms all lying within the reach of the skilled person.
  • a connecting rod 28 is mounted fixedly between upper outer ends of frame tubes 16. Connecting rod 28 forms the pivoting shaft between support frame 1 and secondary frame 2 for tilting the chair.
  • Backrest 10 is fixed to a sub-frame 29.
  • arms 30, which are mounted at their free ends with a bushing for rotation round the connecting rod 28 between second frame tubes 16.
  • connecting rod 28 Fixed close to the centre of connecting rod 28 is a short arm 31 which protrudes obliquely upward in the direction of the top side of backrest 10 and has on its free end a round hole into which protrudes a pin 32 extending parallel to connecting rod 28.
  • a collar 33 Fastened to pin 32 is a collar 33 which is fixedly connected to a tube 34 extending centrally between second frame tubes 16 in vertical direction.
  • a rod 35 bearing head support 11 is received slidably in tube 34.
  • Rod 35 fits into tube 34 with friction and can be displaced therein by hand for the purpose of manual height adjustment of the head support.
  • a long arm 36 is further mounted for free rotation round pin 32.
  • Arm 36 is fixedly connected to bush 33 so that tube 34 also rotates round pin 32 when arm 36 is rotated around pin 32.
  • the free outer end of this arm 36 is connected to the outer end of a short arm 38 for free rotation about shaft 37.
  • the other end 39 of this short arm 38 is connected in freely rotatably manner to a low-lying part of sub-frame 29 bearing backrest 10.
  • Shaft 37 lies on the side, remote from backrest 10, of the plane passing through axes of rotation points 32 and 39.
  • turning knob 40 connected to an adjusting mechanism the tube 34 can further be rotated about pin 32 for the purpose of manually tilting head support 11 forward or rearward.
  • turning knob 40 carries a spindle with which the distance between the centre of long arm 36 and tube 34 can be changed independently of the automatic rotation of head support 11 during tilting of the chair.
  • tube 34 will be rotated about pin 32 when turning knob 40 is rotated in order to adjust the initial tilt position of head support 11 relative to the rest of the chair or to adjust the tilt position of the head support after rearward tilting of the chair.
  • the latter is for instance for the purpose of additional tilting of the head support to the rear in the rearward tilted showering position of the chair, so as to thus enable easier washing of the hair of a person sitting in the chair.
  • the height of head support 11 can be adjusted without additional operating means by pulling pin 35 further out of tube 34 or pressing it further therein by means of a friction connection between tube 34 and pin 35.
  • a shorter length of the telescopic guiding can be obtained by fixing the upper end thereof to secondary frame 2 close to the rear edge of seat 9. So as to still obtain a relatively long extended length with such a shorter pushed-in telescopic guiding, a telescopic guiding consisting of three parts may be necessary.
  • Control means for the height adjustment and tilting of the shower/toilet chair according to the invention can be easily concealed in the backrest of the chair, wherein the electrical wiring of these control means can be readily concealed in the tubes of the chair. This is particularly the case for the motor for rearward tilting of the chair, which is situated in tubes 18 close to the front corners of chair seat 9. The wiring then runs via frame tubes 8 of secondary frame 2 and does not therefore have to span any variable distance.
  • the open design of the construction is also advantageous for cleaning and keeping the chair clean. This greatly enhances hygiene.
