Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de la literie et plus particulièrement aux sommiers de lit réglables.The present invention relates to the field of bedding and more particularly to adjustable bed bases.

Elle a plus particulièrement pour objet un nouveau dispositif de couchage en plusieurs parties permettant à un patient de se coucher ou de se relever en posant les pieds par terre avec plus de facilité.More particularly, it relates to a new sleeping device in several parts allowing a patient to lie down or to stand up by putting the feet on the ground with more ease.

Elle a spécifiquement pour objet un dispositif de couchage réglable comportant un bâti fixe qui s'étend selon une direction longitudinale, une extrémité de tête, une extrémité de pied et une partie centrale caractérisé en ce que la partie centrale est montée mobile en rotation et pivotant autour d'un axe qui peut permettre le cas échéant son élévation ou sa descente et qui entraîne du fait de son pivotement le basculement de l'extrémité de pied vers le sol.It specifically relates to an adjustable sleeping device comprising a fixed frame which extends in a longitudinal direction, a head end, a foot end and a central portion characterized in that the central portion is rotatably and rotatably mounted around an axis which may allow its elevation or descent if necessary and which causes due to its pivoting the tilting of the foot end to the ground.

Le document EP 0 505 847 décrit déjà un exemple d'un tel sommier dont la partie de tête peu se relever. Ce type de sommier présente cependant l'inconvénient que les mécanismes de réglage de la partie de tête et du cadre mobile sont deux mécanismes indépendants fixés aux deux extrémités du sommier de sorte que d'une part le montage de ces mécanismes sur le bâti fixe est relativement coûteux en matériel et en main-d'oeuvre, et d'autre part requiert lorsque ces deux mécanismes sont à commande électrique, de faire coulisser sur toute la longueur du lit une installation électrique et notamment des cables électriques qui peuvent se dénuder ou provoquer des courts-circuits.The document EP 0 505 847 already describes an example of such a bedstead whose head part can get up. This type of bed base however has the disadvantage that the adjustment mechanisms of the head portion and the movable frame are two independent mechanisms attached to both ends of the bed base so that on the one hand the mounting of these mechanisms on the fixed frame is relatively expensive in terms of equipment and labor, and secondly when these two mechanisms are electrically operated, to slide over the entire length of the bed an electrical installation including electrical cables that can be stripped or cause short circuits.

Dans ce dispositif de l'art antérieur le cadre mobile est réglable en inclinaison et l'angle relatif entre le plan du cadre mobile et la partie de tête se trouve modifié de telle sorte que l'utilisateur ou le soignant doit ensuite régler fréquemment l'inclinaison de la partie de tête de façon que le patient alité se trouve enfin dans une position qui lui est confortable.In this device of the prior art, the mobile frame is adjustable in inclination and the relative angle between the plane of the movable frame and the head part is modified so that the user or the carer must then frequently adjust the tilting of the head portion so that the bedridden patient is finally in a comfortable position.

Le dispositif de couchage selon l'invention est d'un fonctionnement beaucoup plus simple et plus économique.The coating device according to the invention is a much simpler and more economical operation.

Le dispositif comporte essentiellement un plan fixe sur lequel est assujetti la partie pivotante centrale ainsi que la partie de tête articulée et la partie pour les pieds montées par une charnière. La partie de tête s'articule sur la partie centrale au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation mobile en élévation tel qu'une béquille ou une charnière.The device essentially comprises a fixed plane on which is subject the pivoting central part and the hinged head part and the part for the feet mounted by a hinge. The part headstock is articulated on the central part by means of a movable mounting device in elevation such as a stand or a hinge.

Le plan fixe comporte en outre une partie de tête qui est réglable en inclinaison de manière à assurer à un patient couché la possibilité de redresser son buste et de s'adosser plus commodément.The fixed plane further comprises a head portion which is adjustable in inclination so as to provide a lying patient the opportunity to straighten his chest and lean more conveniently.

Le bâti fixe comporte également des moyens pour supporter un matelas disposé entre la partie de tête et l'extrémité de pied du bâti fixe.The fixed frame also includes means for supporting a mattress disposed between the head portion and the foot end of the fixed frame.

Le plan fixe selon l'invention comporte plus particulièrement une partie évidée rectangulaire, d'un côté, de façon à ce que lorsque la partie centrale entre en rotation, la partie de pied du fait de sa rotation vient buter contre l'évidement et se déplie vers le bas par basculement. Au contraire lorsque la partie centrale entre en rotation pour revenir en position longitudinale la partie de pied revient à l'horizontale dans le sens longitudinal.The fixed plane according to the invention more particularly comprises a rectangular recessed portion, on one side, so that when the central portion comes into rotation, the foot portion due to its rotation abuts against the recess and unfolds downwards by tilting. On the contrary, when the central portion rotates to return to the longitudinal position the foot portion returns to the horizontal in the longitudinal direction.

Cette partie centrale du dispositif joue donc un rôle essentiel car elle assure le pivotement facile de la partie centrale, et s'il y a lieu la montée ou l'abaissement de cette partie et également le dépliement de la partie de pied ce qui permet au patient alité de pouvoir pivoter sans effort d'un angle de 45 à 90°, et de disposer de ce fait d'une partie de pied inclinée tournée vers l'extérieur, reposant près ou sur le sol. De cette façon le patient alité peut adopter une position plus haute ou plus basse, laisser glisser ses pieds et finalement peut les poser par terre.This central part of the device plays an essential role because it ensures the easy pivoting of the central part, and if necessary the raising or lowering of this part and also the unfolding of the part of the foot which allows the Patient bed can rotate effortlessly at an angle of 45 to 90 °, and thus have an inclined foot portion facing outward, resting near or on the ground. In this way the bedridden patient can adopt a higher or lower position, let his feet slide and finally can put them on the ground.

Le dispositif de couchage peut comporter longitudinalement un rail de guidage, une cornière ou une rambarde qui permet au patient une fois qu'il a posé ses pieds par terre de disposer d'un appui qui lui permet de se relever sans effort excessif ou de se recoucher en toute sécurité.The sleeping device may comprise longitudinally a guide rail, an angle bracket or a railing which allows the patient once he has placed his feet on the ground to have a support that allows him to stand up without excessive effort or to go back to bed safely.

L'énorme avantage du dispositif selon l'invention est outre sa simplicité, le fait qu'il ne nécessite qu'une motorisation réduite et que la partie centrale pivotante est apte à se déplacer entre une position basse et une position haute, soit d'une manière autonome soit avec l'assistance d'une tierce personne, notamment d'une personne soignante ou bien encore d'une manière automatique grâce à un vérin électrique.The enormous advantage of the device according to the invention is in addition to its simplicity, the fact that it requires only a reduced motorization and that the central pivoting part is able to move between a low position and a high position, that is to say an autonomous way either with the assistance of a third person, especially a caregiver or even automatically thanks to an electric cylinder.

De cette façon un patient alité et en particulier un patient souffrant d'un handicap moteur ou d'un handicap neuro-sensoriel pourra amorcer par lui-même une rotation de la partie centrale du lit pour amener la partie de pied vers l'extérieur, notamment dans l'axe de l'évidement, ce qui provoquera le basculement de la partie de pied et son repos sur le sol.In this way a bedridden patient and in particular a patient suffering from a motor handicap or a neuro-sensory handicap can initiate by itself a rotation of the central part of the bed to bring the foot part outwards, especially in the axis of the recess, which will cause the tilting of the foot part and its rest on the ground.

Le plan fixe est formé d'un plateau rigide reposant sur le sol au moyen de quatre pieds au moins. Le nombre de pieds peut être plus élevé sans que cela comporte le moindre inconvénient. Le plan fixe comporte à chaque extrémité une partie arrondie sur l'une desquelles la partie de pieds pourra venir en rotation pour s'engager dans la partie échancrée au moyen d'un support semi-circulaire.The fixed plane is formed of a rigid plate resting on the ground with at least four feet. The number of feet can be higher without any inconvenience. The fixed plane comprises at each end a rounded portion on one of which the foot portion may rotate to engage the notched portion by means of a semicircular support.

La partie de tête est assujettie à la partie centrale par une béquille. Elle est maintenue en inclinaison par une ou plusieurs charnières. Ce plateau de tête comporte un encastrement, destiné à recevoir un coussin, un oreiller ou un traversin et permettant de le maintenir en place. Le cas échéant ce plateau pourra comporter des lanières ou des sangles de façon à ce que le coussin ou l'oreiller soit maintenu en position haute sans glisser ou sans s'échapper. Le plan mobile comporte également un rebord s'étendant longitudinalement de chaque côté de manière à recevoir le matériel de couchage nécessaire tel que matelas, alaise, draps et couverture. Comme indiqué précédemment il comportera éventuellement une ou deux rambardes circulaires pour permettre la préhension.The head portion is secured to the central portion by a crutch. It is maintained in inclination by one or more hinges. This head plate has a recess for receiving a cushion, a pillow or a bolster and to hold it in place. If necessary this tray may include straps or straps so that the cushion or pillow is held in the up position without slipping or escaping. The movable plane also has a flange extending longitudinally on each side to receive the necessary sleeping material such as mattress, pad, sheets and cover. As indicated above it will possibly include one or two circular rails to allow gripping.

La partie pour les pieds peut également pivoter du côté opposé et se déplier pour que le patient puisse placer ses jambes du côté qui lui est le plus favorable pour son confort.The foot portion may also pivot on the opposite side and unfold so that the patient can place his legs on the side that is most favorable for his comfort.

En définitive le pivotement de la partie centrale doit amener la partie pour les pieds vers l'extérieur, notamment en face de l'échancrure et permet le basculement de ce plateau à partir de la partie médiane. Ce degré de basculement est purement une mesure de commodité et est déterminé par les dimensions de la charnière qui assure ce mouvement de basculement entre le plateau pour les pieds et la partie centrale pivotante.Finally, the pivoting of the central portion must bring the part for the feet outwards, in particular in front of the notch and allows the tilting of this plate from the middle part. This degree of tilting is purely a measure of convenience and is determined by the dimensions of the hinge which provides this tilting movement between the foot plate and the pivoting central portion.

La partie de tête comporte également un rebord disposé à l'arrière, au centre du plateau de façon à ce que le dit plateau ne puisse venir reposer complètement à l'horizontale dans le cas d'un basculement important. De cette façon la tête du patient se trouve protégée et on évite que la mise à plat ne puisse entraîner des problèmes cervicaux pour le patient.The head portion also has a rim disposed at the rear, in the center of the plate so that said plate can come to rest completely horizontally in the case of a significant tilt. In this way the patient's head is protected and it is avoided that flattening can cause cervical problems for the patient.

Le dispositif de pivotement est formé d'une plaque rigide centrale fixée au bâti rigide par un moyen de solidarisation tel que boulonnage, vissage ou rivetage. La partie mobile comporte une masse cylindrique de diamètre à peu près égal à la largeur de la partie centrale et reliée à la plaque rigide par un axe pivotant. Cet axe pivotant est destiné à assurer le pivotement de l'ensemble de 180 °, entre le basculement de la partie de pied dans la partie non échancrée et la partie de pieds comportant un échancrement.The pivoting device is formed of a central rigid plate fixed to the rigid frame by a securing means such as bolting, screwing or riveting. The moving part has a mass cylindrical diameter approximately equal to the width of the central portion and connected to the rigid plate by a pivoting axis. This pivoting axis is intended to ensure the pivoting of the assembly of 180 °, between the tilting of the foot portion in the non-indented portion and the foot portion having a notch.

Cette rotation peut avoir en même temps pour effet, de hausser le niveau de la partie centrale d'une certaine hauteur notamment de 2 à 5 centimètres par rapport au plan fixe pour en faciliter la rotation. Il est évident que la rotation pourrait être plus importante ou plus réduite selon les dimensions du pas de vis selon la manière dont la base pivotante est montée. La rotation de la partie mobile peut également être effectuée par entraînement par un galet lui même motorisé.This rotation may at the same time have the effect of raising the level of the central part by a certain height, in particular by 2 to 5 centimeters with respect to the fixed plane to facilitate rotation. It is obvious that the rotation could be greater or smaller depending on the dimensions of the thread according to the manner in which the pivoting base is mounted. The rotation of the movable part can also be performed by driving by a roller itself motorized.

La hauteur des pieds est réglable et peut venir à toute hauteur sans entraîner la moindre difficulté. Avantageusement la hauteur du lit sera réglée de telle façon qu'il soit possible de placer des valises ou des cartons ou un instrument de toilette sous le lit et qu'ainsi la chambre du patient à l'hôpital, ne soit pas trop encombrée ou que les effets personnels du patient puissent demeurer accessibles.The height of the feet is adjustable and can come to any height without causing any difficulty. Advantageously the height of the bed will be adjusted so that it is possible to place suitcases or cardboard or a toilet instrument under the bed and thus the patient's room in the hospital, is not too crowded or that the patient's personal effects may remain accessible.

De même sans que cela fasse partie de l'invention, il est possible de disposer autour du lit ou au bout du lit ou encore derrière la tête du lit des tiroirs ou des meubles d'accotement ou des meubles de toilette de façon à ce que le patient alité dispose d'un environnement commode et agréable.Similarly without this being part of the invention, it is possible to arrange around the bed or at the end of the bed or behind the head of the bed drawers or verandah furniture or bathroom furniture so that the bedridden patient has a convenient and pleasant environment.

Les parties mobiles sont de préférence en un matériau rigide comme le bois, le métal ou une matière plastique. Les trois parties pourront également être réalisées en tôle métallique peinte ou laquée ou revêtue d'un flocage de manière à éviter tout risque d'oxydation et permettre le lavage. La base de chacun des plateaux peut être pleine comme par exemple une plaque de bois, elle peut aussi être perforée comme de la tôle perforée ou encore être en fil métallique comme un treillis métallique. L'élément important est alors la qualité du matelas qui doit permettre quelle que soit la qualité ou la nature des différentes plaques, que le confort du patient n'en subisse pas d'inconvénient et que la nature du support ne risque pas d'être une cause d'escarres ou d'irritation.The moving parts are preferably of a rigid material such as wood, metal or a plastic material. The three parts may also be made of metal sheet painted or lacquered or flocked so as to avoid any risk of oxidation and allow washing. The base of each of the trays can be full, for example a wooden plate, it can also be perforated as perforated sheet or be in wire as a wire mesh. The important element is then the quality of the mattress that must allow regardless of the quality or nature of the different plates, that the comfort of the patient does not suffer from inconvenience and that the nature of the support is not likely to be a cause of bedsores or irritation.

L'invention trouve son utilité dans les hôpitaux, les cliniques, les maternités ou lors de l'hospitalisation à domicile pour permettre à un patient à mobilité réduite de pouvoir se lever sans effort de son lit et d'y rentrer à nouveau puis de remettre le lit en place grâce à la motorisation de l'ensemble.The invention finds its use in hospitals, clinics, maternity hospitals or during home hospitalization to allow a patient with reduced mobility to be able to get up without effort from his bed and go back again and put the bed back up thanks to the motorization of the whole.

Les exemples suivants illustrent l'invention sans toutefois la limiter.The following examples illustrate the invention without limiting it.

It comprises a base element (2) of substantially longitudinal shape, terminated by a flare, equipped with at least four legs (3) (3 '), (3 ") and (3"') subject to this element, and cut on the side by a longitudinal notch (4), on which is arranged a part for the head (6) of rectangular shape, a part for the feet of similar shape and size (7) and a pivoting central part (5) which causes in its rotation the part for the feet (7). The head portion is provided with a framing device (8), and the central portion and the foot portion have on the periphery a thick rim (9) (9 ') for receiving the articles of bedding (not shown).

La partie de tête (6) et la partie centrale (5) sont assemblées par une ou plusieurs charnières qui assurent ainsi leur maintien, leur élévation et leur rotation.The head portion (6) and the central portion (5) are assembled by one or more hinges which ensure their maintenance, elevation and rotation.

En dessous de la partie pour les pieds (7) on a disposé un plateau de forme rectangulaire terminé par portion semi-circulaire (10) qui accompagne la partie pour les pieds (7) au cours de son pivotement et contribue à son encastrement dans la partie échancrée (4).Below the portion for the feet (7) there is disposed a rectangular shaped tray terminated by semi-circular portion (10) which accompanies the portion for the feet (7) during its pivoting and contributes to its embedding in the notched part (4).

En dessous de la partie pour la tête (6), l'élément de base (2) fixé dans le prolongement longitudinal se termine par un élément plan qui supporte des pieds (3) (3').Below the part for the head (6), the base element (2) fixed in the longitudinal extension terminates in a plane element which supports feet (3) (3 ').

L'élément de couchage (1) est de ce fait entièrement mobile au dessus de l'élément fixe (2) en faisant pivoter en même temps la partie centrale (5) et la partie pour les pieds (7). La partie pour la tête (6) est en outre mobile dans le plan vertical par une autre opération.The sleeping element (1) is thus entirely movable above the fixed element (2) by pivoting at the same time the central portion (5) and the portion for the feet (7). The portion for the head (6) is further movable in the vertical plane by another operation.

La figure 2 montre le pivotement de l'élément de couchage (1) et le basculement de l'élément pour les pieds (7) dans l'échancrement (4). La partie centrale (5) repose sur l'axe de pivotement (12) placé au centre de l'élément fixe.Figure 2 shows the pivoting of the sleeping element (1) and the tilting of the foot element (7) in the notch (4). The central part (5) rests on the pivot axis (12) placed in the center of the fixed element.

La figure 3 montre l'articulation des différents éléments mobiles autour de l'axe de pivotement (12). La partie pour la tête (6) est assujettie à la partie centrale (5) par une béquille (13) qui la maintient en place par un dispositif de solidarisation comme une tige filetée et un écrou. La partie centrale est montée sur l'axe de pivotement (12).Figure 3 shows the articulation of the various movable elements around the pivot axis (12). The portion for the head (6) is secured to the central portion (5) by a stand (13) which holds it in place by a securing device such as a threaded rod and a nut. The central portion is mounted on the pivot axis (12).

La partie pour les pieds (7) reste normalement dans le même plan horizontal que la partie centrale. On a figuré en outre l'échancrure (4) destinée à recevoir la partie pour les pieds (7). Le rebord (9) (9') est apparent de chaque côté.The foot part (7) normally remains in the same horizontal plane as the central part. There is furthermore the notch (4) for receiving the part for the feet (7). The flange (9) (9 ') is visible on each side.

La figure 4 montre l'élément de couchage (1) en position longitudinale. La partie de tête (6) est relevée et la partie pour les pieds (7) est basculée du côté opposé à l'échancrure(4).Figure 4 shows the sleeping element (1) in longitudinal position. The head portion (6) is raised and the foot portion (7) is tilted away from the notch (4).

Le dispositif de rotation (12) disposé sur l'élément fixe (2) permet le pivotement à 90° de la partie centrale (5) et de la partie pour les pieds (7). La partie pour la tête (6) est maintenue en position redressée par une équerre (13). La partie pour la tête (6) comporte à la partie dorsale un rebord prismatique (14) qui empêche la partie pour la tête de venir complètement à plat sur l'élément fixe.The rotation device (12) disposed on the fixed element (2) allows the central portion (5) and the foot part (7) to be pivoted by 90 °. The portion for the head (6) is held in the upright position by a bracket (13). The head portion (6) has a prismatic rim (14) at the back portion that prevents the head portion from fully flat on the fixed member.

La figure 5 montre le dispositif de couchage en rotation dans lequel la partie pour les pieds (7) a basculé dans l'évidement.Figure 5 shows the rotational coating device in which the foot portion (7) has tilted into the recess.

On voit ainsi la partie de tête (6) partiellement relevée et maintenue en place par une équerre, la partie centrale reposant sur le dispositif de pivotement (12) et la partie pour les pieds (7) largement basculée pour venir à proximité du sol.This shows the head portion (6) partially raised and held in place by a square, the central portion resting on the pivot device (12) and the foot portion (7) widely tilted to come close to the ground.

Si nécessaire la partie pour les pieds peut comporter une réglette ou une tablette à son extrémité pour permettre une pose et un maintien des pieds plus facile.If necessary the foot part may have a ruler or a shelf at its end to allow a pose and a maintenance of the feet easier.
