Definitions

  • the object of this patent application is a new head support device, called dynamic because it remains in contact with the head of the disabled person during any movements.
  • this head support is particularly suitable for use in the wheelchairs of disabled people.
  • the head support especially when used together with wheelchairs, is particularly important in certain types of disabilities.
  • the head support is essential for that type of disability that requires, because of the impossibility of maintaining the correct posture of the head, or because of sudden spasms, the use of braces to contain uncontrolled movements of the head.
  • the shape is slightly concave in order to restrain the head at the rear in the occipital region and in a partly lateral manner in the parietal region.
  • the traditional structure of the head support is appropriately padded at the front where it comes into contact with the head and is supported, behind the padding, in a fixed manner, with the possibility of adjustment, with respect to the backrest of the wheelchair (see fig. 1 ) along the Z and Y axes.
  • This adjustment generally includes the possibility of setting the height Z and the horizontal depth Y.
  • the head support nears the head of the disabled person in the occipital region and the height and the depth are fixed in a stable manner.
  • the purpose of this patent application is to have a head support that follows the movements of the head, restricting them and limiting them so that they do not become excessive and too sudden, and which can be easily adjusted to the correct position.
  • Another purpose of the above-mentioned head support consists of the fact that it anthropometrically follows the movements of the head.
  • the invention consists of a head support that includes padding that rests against the head of the disabled person in the occipital region, this padding being joined to a support structure that is fixed (or the padding directly) in a protruding manner on a moveable rod of an articulated quadrangle that allows the movements of the head to be followed.
  • the support structure is fixed in a protruding manner to the moveable rod, providing a simple and compact configuration.
  • the suitable sizing of the levers, hinged to the moveable rod on the one side and hinged to a base on the other side, allows you to obtain an extremely useful movement of the rod that is configured for anthropometric movement with respect to the articulation of the head.
  • these movements are limited by an elastic element that resists these movements, dampening them, in part dissipating the energy.
  • this elastic element is a gas pump that is fixed between the base of the articulated quadrilateral and a lever.
  • these elastic elements exert a counter force proportional to the intensity of the movement, and have differentiated elastic constant between the movement following stress and its return or release, i.e. they have an elastic constant of return that is lower than that direct one so as to provide a repositioning of the head support to its resting state in a slow manner.
  • said elastic elements can be pre-loaded, providing the disabled person with the feeling of a solid support.
  • the base of this articulated quadrilateral is positioned and held in place by devices for adjusting the height and depth.
  • the height can be adjusted by a moveable rod fixed at the rear of the wheelchair.
  • the device for adjusting the depth is hinged, composed of a semi-circular element that allows both the depth and the height of the support point of the head support to be adjusted.
  • This head support also has the added improvement of the interposition of an elastic component, preferably a rubber element, fixed between the padding and the protruding part of the moveable rod of the articulated quadrilateral.
  • an elastic component preferably a rubber element
  • This rubber element preferably solid rubber, carries out the function of absorbing any parietal dystonia of the disabled person.
  • This rubber is effective if it is sufficiently flexible to be able to absorb contractions and dystonia, both lateral as well as antero-posterior.
  • the form of the head support when properly padded, is of the anatomical semi-wraparound variety, allowing the head to be held and controlled also in a lateral position and therefore preventing the decentralisation of the head.
  • the head support 1 includes shaped padding, preferably an anatomical semi-wraparound of the head of the disabled person.
  • This padding 2 of the support protrudes at the back from a moveable rod 5, preferably tubular, of an articulated quadrilateral, with an elastic component 4 inserted, advantageously a rubber element.
  • This moveable rod 5 is hinged onto at least a pair of levers 6 and 7, in their turn hinged to the opposite end on a base 8.
  • an elastic element 9 has been fixed, in particular a small gas pump, preferably pre-loaded in order to avoid troublesome oscillations and to provide the sensation of a solid support for the disabled person.
  • the above-mentioned base 8 has hinged support 12, in order to be brought to the correct position and inclination, on a device for regulating the depth containing a semi-circular element 10 that makes it possible to have a simultaneous movement for varying the height and the inclination of the head support.
  • the semi-circular element 10 is hinged 11 along its horizontal axis to the upper end of the rod for adjusting the height 14 needed for attaining the desired height where the head support 1 should be positioned.
  • this head support 1 is extremely simple.
  • the head support 1 free to rotate around the axes of hinges 11 and 12, is easily brought to rest in the occipital region of the head 3 of the disabled person who is seated in the wheelchair 15.
  • the disabled person because of dystonia or twitching, moves his head 3 backwards (according to the movement C in Fig. 7 ) without finding any rigid hindrance.
  • This anthropometric movement of the padding 2 is very important and valued since it prevents the continual and bothersome rubbing of the head 3 against the padding 2.
  • the padding 2 of the head support has a configuration that can contain them and reduce them, thanks to the anatomical semi-wraparound shape, because of the presence of an elastic component 4, like a flexible rubber element, inserted between the protruding end of the upper free rod 5 of the articulated quadrilateral and the structure supporting the padding 2 of the head support 1.
  • This elastic component 4 provides every small rotation with absorption and softening of the stresses bring back in a soft elastic manner the head support to the configuration it has when at rest.
  • the elastic devices 4 and 9 that are used can absorb and deaden the stresses to which they are subjected, providing the disabled person with the sensation of not having any rigid impediment, while at the same time containing and controlling his dystonia and/or jerks, fostering a neuro-dystonic relaxation.
