Description
- The present invention relates to a structure for disabled persons comprising a wheelchair with a device able to displace the patient laterally.
- In particular, the present invention has the object to offer a proper support to disabled persons affected by motor disabilities and obligate to live on a wheelchair.
- This result has been achieved, according to the present invention, by adopting the concept of making a structure which can reduce, with reasonably costs, the restrictions caused by the exigency of lifting and displacing a patient.
- The architectural barriers constraining the disabled persons are not caused only by architectural elements but also by psychological factors. For example, let's think about the exigency to lift a heavy and inert body every day: it is an ordinary act for those people used to assist a disabled person daily, but it becomes complicated for those people not used to do it and for those who are not able to lift a person in a proper and safe way.
- The main attempt was to develop the idea in a simple and functional way and sustaining reasonably costs, in order to offer a health support that could improve the quality of life of anyone would use it. The state of the art on the devices to lift disabled persons was congested to the devices used to lift engines in the machine shop and to strange and weighty devices similar to cranes, afterward adapted for lifting people. However, in view of the excessive size and the high financial cost, such devices in practice are not used.
- Thanks to the present invention, a wheelchair and a lifting device are always easily and rapidly available for use, so that it can be used wherever you want. It has the same reliability of a mechanical device but is not bound to electricity. Besides, a structure according to the present invention is easy to make, cost-effective and reliable even after a prolonged service life.
- The structure can be divided into two distinct parts,
Fig. 1 : the first is represented by a folding wheelchair properly arranged for its purpose, and the second prt is represented by a device for lateral displacement of the patient. - The feature that makes this invention innovative is the fact of combine the special function of two basic aids for mobility of disabled persons. In fact, the device for the displacement of the patient can be removed by pulling some pins out (22, 23) and it is suitable to all common configurations of use of the wheelchair, as it can stay always connected to it: it can stay applied to the wheelchair when it is open, when it is fan closed and when it is in motion. This means that the structure can also be used as a traditional wheelchair.
Fig.4 and Fig.7 ,Fig. 1 . - Reduced to its basic construction and reference being made to the figures of the attached drawings, a structure of few components that characterize its simplicity and ease of use. The displacing mechanism is based on a manual winch (12) started by an assistant who twists the crank (5) which pulls the rope (30) and activates the rise of the upper element of the telescopic section (17)
Fig.3 ,Fig. 5 . At the top of the upper element of the telescopic section, there is a jib (13) characterized by rotation within a range of 180 ° which allows the assistant, after having raised up the folding armrest of the wheelchair (31), to displace the patient wrapped in a body harness (32) connected to the jib (13) by a hook (14). The displacement takes place easily and with minimum effort.Fig. 2 e3 . - A stabilizing rod (15), to be opened before the lateral displacement of the patient,
Fig.2 and 3 . provides stability to the structure; previously, it has to be scrolled from one tip to the other, passing in a cylindrical guide (24); this allows to open the rod also in tight spaces. - The device can be closed without obstructing the movement of the wheelchair.
Fig.4 . Moreover, the jib (13) includes an external padding that confers it the dual function of height adjustable headrest, adjustable by moving the crank (5). Immediately after the use, the device for displacement can be closed and made portable with the wheelchair itself,Fig.7 ., or else, it can be easily removed by pulling some pins out (22) (23) TabFig.1 1 , to get a traditional wheelchair. - The structure, that appears as a common wheelchair, is characterized by meticulous precautions that permit it to withstand to the operation of displacement of the patient and at the same time allows to use it as a conventional wheelchair; in effect, it is characterized in that the front swivel wheels (1) are placed sideways of the footrests (26)
Fig.6 . and this gives it a good stability to displace the patient safely,Fig.2 and 3 , and without altering the maximum size of a common wheelchair; in effect, the increasing of size would preclude a major difficulty in restricted spaces. - At the same time, as a normal wheelchair including removable platforms, you can remove the footrests (26) together with the front wheels (1) through the extraction of interconnected tubes (2) by unlocking pins (3)
Fig1 .; the wheelchair, in such conditions, will lean on two further smaller wheels (4), fixed to the frame of the wheelchair, getting the capability to entry in extremely restricted spaces such as, for example, an elevator,Fig. 1 . - Moreover, the wheelchair has supports on the rear (20, 21) to contain the device's props (18) (19), blocked by simple pivots (22, 23)
Fig.1 . This allows to use the wheelchair in traditional mode. - The entire structure, during the lateral displacement of the patient,
Fig. 2 and 3 , is supported by a stabilizing rod (15), which can scroll from one tip to the other, throughout a cylindrical guide (24) and stabilized by a lever pedal (29) and an adjustable foot of support (28); everything is blocked by a locking system (25, 11). - This mechanism ensures that the displacing device can also be used in restricted spaces because the rod, equipped with a side-scrolling, can be placed even in tight spaces, for example, you can displace the person sitting on a bed and put on the wheelchair and on the contrary too, as the rod can slide under the bed, allowing the wheelchair to approach perfectly alongside.
- The crank (5) was fitted with an easy but functional safety system that does not allow to lift an exceeding weight and comprising at least one or more pistons (7) located in apposite caves hollowed out on the coupling of the crank's cylinder (5) with the prismatic transmission shaft (9) of the winch (12) and elastically embodied by the ring (8) made in elastic material such as plastic or analogous (8)
Fig1 ; - The procedure is very simple, the pistons (7) are in contact with the facets of the transmission shaft, (9) and during rotation of the crank (5) they are contained in a ring made in elastic material. When the elastic containment strength of the ring (8) loss, the piston (7) tend to leave its cavity, bypassing the shaft facet (9) and causing an unsuccessful turn of the crank (5). Everything is controlled by the thickness of the elastic ring (8), that is selected on the base of the capacity established for the device lifting.
- The crank (5) is characterized in a further safety device, consisting of a simple metal stick (6), which does not allow to rotate the crank (5) if the stabilizing rod (15) is closed,
Fig.6 ; this is to prevent to displace the patient without stabilizing the structure by opening the rod (15). In conclusion, the device can stay always connected to the wheelchair, when it is open, when it is in motion and also when it is fan closed, just by rotating the jib (13) and closing the stabilizing rod (15) blocked by a special support (27),Fig7 . - These and other advantages and characteristics of the invention will be best understood by anyone skilled in the art by reading above description in conjunction with the attached drawings given as a practical exemplification of the invention, as follows:
-
Fig.1 : Exploded perspective view with enlargement of two particular parts of the invention. -
Fig.2 : Front perspective view of the structure during the lateral displacement of the patient. -
Fig.3 : Rear perspective view of the structure during the lateral displacement of the patient -
Fig.4 : Front perspective view of the structure when the wheelchair is in motion. -
