Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wheelchair, as conventionally used to allow a disabled person to move relative to the ground or to adopt different positions such as sitting, standing or lying, depending on his occupation and / or of his pathology.
  • Such wheelchairs are used, for example, by myopaths and paraplegics.
  • Powered wheelchairs are often equipped with an engine assembly comprising one or more electric motors allowing the chair to move on the ground, and several electric cylinders for moving the constituent parts of the chair relative to each other.
  • EP-A-2 070 501 It is known to EP-A-2 070 501 to make a wheelchair folder from three subassemblies formed by deformable strips. These strips have a planar middle portion that can not be adapted to the morphology or the pathology of the user. The comfort of a chair equipped with such a structure is limited.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a new wheelchair that can easily be adapted to its user, taking into account its size and pathology.
  • the invention relates to a wheelchair comprising at least one chassis equipped with ground connection members, a seat supported by this frame and a backrest whose height is parallel to a first axis and whose width is parallel to a second axis perpendicular to the first.
  • the file comprises at least three subassemblies distributed over the height of the file, whereas the position of each subassembly, parallel to a third axis perpendicular to the first two axes, is adjustable independently of that of the other subassemblies and while each subassembly consists of two hinged flaps, one with respect to the other and independently of one another, about a common axis parallel to the first axis.
  • each subassembly consists of two articulated flaps makes it possible to position these two flaps with respect to one another to adapt to the morphology and the pathology of the user, in particular in case of scoliosis, also without having to cast the file.
  • the chair 2 shown in the figures comprises a motor assembly 4 comprising two unrepresented electric motors powered by storage batteries arranged in a cowling and supported by a frame 6 partially visible at the figure 1 because dressed by body parts.
  • the motors drive the so-called 7-wheel drive wheels supported by the chassis 6.
  • the chassis 6 also supports crazy front wheels 8 obstacle clearance and rear wheels 9 anti-tilt.
  • the chair 2 comprises a seat 10 covered by a cushion 12.
  • the chair 2 also comprises a backrest 20 which extends above the seat 10, parallel to an axis Z which defines its height. This Z axis is generally vertical but may have a horizontal component, depending on the orientation of the backrest 20 relative to the seat 10.
  • the chair 2 can be equipped with a headrest supported by the backrest 20.
  • the left armrest 42 of the chair 2 is provided with a control member 50, joystick type, and a control screen 60.
  • the other armrest 41 is devoid of it.
  • the elements 50 and 60 may alternatively be mounted on the armrest 41.
  • the elements 50 and 60 are not shown in all the figures, for clarity of the drawing.
  • the height H20 of the backrest 20 is measured, with respect to the upper surface 126 of the seat 10, parallel to the axis Z.
  • the width 120 of the backrest 20 is measured along a Y axis perpendicular to the Z axis and parallel to the rear edge 122 of the cushion 12.
  • Y20 is the axis of articulation of the backrest 20 relative to the seat 10.
  • the Y and Y20 axes are parallel.
  • the back 20 comprises a welded main frame 21 which is articulated on the frame 11 of the seat 10 around the axis Y20.
  • the back 20 comprises three subassemblies 22, 24 and 26 which are distributed over the height of the backrest 20, along the Z axis.
  • the subassembly 26 is the closest to the seat 10, whereas the sub-assembly 26 -ensemble 22 is the furthest and the subassembly 24 is disposed along the Z axis between the subassemblies 22 and 26.
  • the subassembly 22 comprises two flaps 221 and 222 covered by a common foam covering 223.
  • each subassembly 24 or 26 comprises two flaps 241, 242 or 261, 262 and a common covering 243 or 263 .
  • the subassemblies 22, 24 and 26 are not contiguous in the sense that there are two spaces E and E ', respectively between the lower edge of the subassembly 22 and the edge upper subset 24 and between the lower edge of the subassembly 24 and the upper edge of the subassembly 26.
  • the chair 2 is considered in the configuration of use of the figure 1 and a part or object is described as “superior”, if it is upwards in this configuration and “lower” if it is facing downwards.
  • a lower portion of the backrest 20 is oriented towards the seat 10, while an upper portion is oriented away from this seat.
  • the main frame 21 supports an electric cylinder 214 which drives a connecting rod 216 hinged to the frame 11 of the seat 10 around the axis Y20.
  • the cylinder 214 is an actuator for controlling the angular position of the main frame 21, and by the same folder 20, around the axis Y20.
  • An auxiliary frame 23 is movably mounted on the main frame 21 and comprises for this purpose pads 232 intended to slide along the rails 211 and 212.
  • An electric jack 234 extends between a tab 215 attached to the main frame 21 and a stirrup 235, thus attached to the frame 23.
  • the jack 234 constitutes an actuator making it possible to control the translation of the auxiliary frame 23 along the rails 211 and 212, that is to say the position of the frame 23 parallel to the axis Z, as represented by the double arrow F1.
  • the auxiliary frame 23 comprises two uprights 231 between which are arranged three plates 2332, 2334 and 2336.
  • the plates 2332, 2334 and 2336 are identical and immobilized on the uprights 231 by screws not shown. Several orifices are provided along the uprights 231 for receiving these screws, so that the position of the plates 2332, 2334 and 2336 along the uprights 231 is adjustable.
  • the chassis 23 consists of the elements 231, 2332, 2334 and 2336.
  • Two lights 2352 are formed on the plate 2332 and have an oblong shape, with their largest dimension H2352 oriented parallel to the axis Z.
  • Near the lights 2352 are arranged on the plate 2332, supports 2362 which extend perpendicularly to the plate and in which are mounted the hinge screws 2372.
  • the supports 2362 are welded to the plate 2332.
  • the heads of the hinge screws 2372 define orifices 2382 for passage and jamming of rods 2441 and 2442 integral with a rigid base plate 224 belonging to 22.
  • the rods 2441 and 2442 are perpendicular to the base plate 224.
  • the dimensions of the orifices 2382 are compatible with a sliding of the rods 2241 and 2242 along their longitudinal axis, as long as the nuts 2392 for tightening the screws 2372 on the supports 2362 are not tight.
  • the plate 2334 is equipped with stem passage lights 2441 and 2442 integral with a base plate 244 belonging to the subassembly 24.
  • the plate 2336 is provided with stem passage lights 2641 and 2642 integral with a base plate 264 belonging to the subassembly 26.
  • Supports and hinge screws similar to the elements 2362 and 2372 are respectively provided on the plates 2334 and 2336 and some of these elements are identified by the references 2364, 2366, 2374 and 2376 in the figures.
  • the plates 2332, 2334 and 2336 respectively allow the subassemblies 22, 24 and 26 to be supported with respect to the frame 23.
  • the position of the subsets 22, 24 and 26 can be adapted to the morphology and the pathology of the user.
  • the front faces of the covers 223, 243 and 263, that is to say the faces of these claddings facing away from the frames 21 and 23, may be aligned, in the case where the user's spine must be supported by being substantially vertical and rectilinear, as represented by the dashed line C at figure 2 .
  • each subassembly 22, 24 and 26 parallel to the axis X makes it possible to adapt the configuration of the backrest 20 to the spine of the user. This adjustment is performed for each subset independently of the other subsets.
  • the lights provided in the patina 2336 are oblong, with their largest dimension parallel to the Z axis, as the lights 2352 formed in the plate 2332.
  • the slots provided in the plate 2334 are circular, so that there is no provision for articulation around an axis passing through the center of the screws 2374.
  • these lights can also be oblong, which also provides a possibility of adjusting the position of the subset 24 in rotation about an axis parallel to the axis Y20.
  • the flaps 221 and 222 are articulated on the plate 224 about an axis Z22 parallel to the axis Z. It is thus possible to rotate each of the flaps 221 and 222 around this axis Z22, as represented by the arrows P21 and P22 at the figure 10 .
  • the control of the angular position of the flap 221 around the axis Z22 is obtained by a system comprising a stirrup 2811, formed by a folded sheet metal section with a flat bottom and fixed to the flap 221 by its bottom, as well as a threaded rod 2821 supported by bearings 2831 integral with the stirrup 2811 and around which is mounted a nut 2841 which is trapped and which drives a rod 2851 articulated on a stirrup 2861 integral with the base plate 224.
  • the control of the angular position of the rod 2821 allows move the nut 2841 along this rod and rotate the stirrup 2811 and the flap 221 about the axis Z22.
  • the axis Z22 is thus an axis, common to the flaps 221 and 222, pivoting P21 or P22 relative to the base plate 224.
  • the support stirrup of the threaded rods could be integral with the base plate 224, while the parts would be integral with the flaps 221 and 222. This constitutes a mirror solution compared to that shown to the figure 9 .
  • the flaps 241 and 242 are articulated, with respect to the plate 244 and with respect to one another, about an axis Z24 parallel to the axis Z
  • the flaps 261 and 262 are articulated, with respect to the plate 264 and with respect to one another, about an axis Z26 parallel to the axis Z.
  • the arrows P41, P42, P61 and P62 represent the possibilities of pivoting the flaps 241 , 242, 261 and 262 around the axes Z24 and Z26.
  • the pivoting movements of the flaps 241, 242, 261 and 262 are independent of each other.
  • the axes Z22, Z24 and Z26 coincide in mounted configuration of the backrest 20. This is however not mandatory.
  • the backrest 20 can thus be considered as consisting of three independently adjustable subassemblies 22, 24 and 26 parallel to the X axis and each consisting of two flaps or "petals" whose angular position around the axes Z22, Z24 and Z26 can be adjusted independently, in order to better follow the geometry of the back and the spine of the user.
  • the file 20 can be precisely configured according to the morphology of the user, without having recourse to a molding. This saves time and facilitates the adaptation of the file 20 to the growth of the user or the evolution of his pathology.
  • the figure 10 shows the case where the flaps 221, 222, 241, 242, 261 and 262 are pivoted about the axes Z22, Z24 and Z26 to give a certain concavity to the folder 20, in order to match the shape of the back of the user.
  • a sacral clearance D defined between, on the one hand, the upper surface 126 of the cushion 12 in the vicinity of the edge 122, and, on the other hand, the lower edge 2632 of the covering 263 is considered.
  • This sacral clearance D makes it possible to receive the buttocks and lower back of a user, without exerting too much pressure on this part of his anatomy.
  • HD 1 the height of the sacral clearance D, measured parallel to the Z axis, sitting configuration of the chair 2.
  • the jack 234 is controlled, during the verticalization of a user, to reduce the height of sacral clearance D to a value HD 2 below the HD value 1 .
  • the height of the sacral clearance D is increased from the value HD 2 to the value HD 1 .
  • the actuator 234 can be parameterized, which makes it possible to adjust the values HD 1 and HD 2 according to the morphology and the pathology of the user, as well as the curve of variation of the height of the sacral clearance during verticalization. or during the reverse movement.
  • the backrest 20 may comprise more than three subsets of the type of the subassemblies 22, 24 and 26.
