Abstract

The support has complementary parts (2A, 2B), where each part is defined by a rectilinear outer longitudinal edge (1A) and a junction edge (1B) delimited by a broken line defining teeth (4) and notches arranged such that teeth of one of the parts are positioned at notches of another part for overlapping the parts. The teeth of the part are formed with a unitary piece and overlapped. Each tooth rests on an upper face of the latter part such that the teeth are visible on a support face and a line defined by side contacts of the teeth, form axis to allow rotation of the parts in half space.

Description

L'invention se rapporte à un support pour transférer un patient d'une surface réceptrice vers une autre surface réceptrice.The invention relates to a support for transferring a patient from a receiving surface to another receiving surface.

Les patients, par exemple, pour réaliser une radiographie, doivent s'installer sur une table d'examen appropriée à l'appareil.Patients, for example, to perform an x-ray, should sit on an examination table appropriate to the device.

Pour les individus valides, se positionner sur la table d'examen ne pose pas de difficulté malheureusement beaucoup de patients sont dans l'impossibilité de s'installer seul.For valid individuals, positioning on the examination table is not a problem unfortunately many patients are unable to settle on their own.

Le plus souvent, ces patients arrivent couchés sur un brancard. Le brancard est placé à proximité de la table d'examen. Plusieurs individus sont appelés pour saisir le patient et en synchronisme, le soulever et le déplacer. Ces opérations ne sont pas aisées.Most often, these patients arrive lying on a stretcher. The stretcher is placed near the examination table. Several individuals are called to grab the patient in synchronism, lift and move him. These operations are not easy.

Il est connu un dispositif FR-A- 2.866.559 globalement rectangulaire pour transférer un patient constitué par deux parties d'un flanc, chaque partie étant délimitée par un bord longitudinal extérieur globalement rectiligne et un bord de jonction délimité par une ligne brisée définissant alternativement des dents et des encoches.It is known a device FR-A-2,866,559 generally rectangular to transfer a patient constituted by two parts of a sidewall, each portion being delimited by a generally straight outer longitudinal edge and a junction edge delimited by a broken line alternately defining teeth and notches.

Les dents sont constituées par des plaques rigides ayant la forme d'un triangle rectangle logées entre deux feuilles de matière. La base du triangle est maintenue entre deux feuilles et ces dents viennent se loger dans des poches ouvertes frontalement et dimensionnées pour accueillir les dents. Les dents d'une partie sont orientées tête bêche par rapport à celles de l'autre partie.The teeth are constituted by rigid plates having the shape of a right triangle housed between two sheets of material. The base of the triangle is held between two sheets and these teeth are housed in front open pockets and dimensioned to accommodate the teeth. The teeth of one part are oriented head to tail compared to those of the other party.

Une partie est donc constituée d'une dent puis d'une poche puis d'une dent etc...A part is made up of a tooth then a pocket then a tooth etc ...

Les plaques servent à réaliser des zones rigides mais le dispositif reste pliable car les plaques sont distinctes les une des autres.The plates are used to make rigid areas but the device remains foldable because the plates are distinct from one another.

Un lien situé au bout de chaque dent doit être introduit dans une boutonnière du fond de la poche pour sécuriser l'assemblage. Les plaques qui ont globalement la forme d'un triangle rectangle et sont disposées pour former des rectangles lorsque les deux parties sont emboitées, d'où la forme triangulaire rectangle. En cette position assemblée, aucune dent n'est visible car elles sont toutes logées dans des poches.A link at the end of each tooth should be inserted into a buttonhole at the bottom of the pocket to secure the assembly. Plates that generally have the shape of a right triangle and are arranged to form rectangles when the two parts are nested, hence the rectangular triangular shape. In this assembled position, no tooth is visible because they are all housed in pockets.

Les dents ne coopèrent pas entre elles, elles sont cote à cote et séparée par une couture qui délimite la poche.The teeth do not cooperate with each other, they are side by side and separated by a seam which delimits the pocket.

Si on examine le dispositif, on constate que chaque dent est indépendante et travaille indépendamment de celle à coté.If we examine the device, we see that each tooth is independent and works independently of the next one.

Le principe consiste à glisser le support assemblé sous le patient, à le transférer en glissant le support du lit vers une table puis pour le retirer de dessous le patient de procéder à la séparation des deux parties.The principle is to slide the assembled support under the patient, to transfer it by sliding the support of the bed to a table then to remove it from under the patient to proceed to the separation of the two parts.

A chaque utilisation, il faut donc glisser les dents dans les poches, passer le lien par la boutonnière ( opération peu aisée) puis après séparation nettoyer l'ensemble y compris les poches.With each use, it is thus necessary to slip the teeth in the pockets, to pass the link by the buttonhole (operation not very easy) then after separation to clean the whole including the pockets.

Ce produit pose des problèmes de nettoyage notamment au niveau des poches qui ne sont pas d'un accès simple . Egalement la mise en place des dents dans les poches est peu aisée d'autant plus qu'il faut glisser le lien dans la boutonnière située au fond de la poche.This product poses cleaning problems especially in the pockets that are not simple access. Also the establishment of the teeth in the pockets is not easy especially as you have to slip the link into the buttonhole at the bottom of the pocket.

On connait également US-5 765 243 un dispositif en deux parties conformées pour aménager en partie médiane un évidement pour la colonne vertébrale et ces deux parties présentent en une de leurs extrémités un zone de réception tournée vers le haut sur laquelle vient se poser une zone d'appui de l'autre extrémité de l'autre partie. Des moyens de liaison sont localisés au niveau de ces zones de réception et d'appui pour assembler les deux parties.We also know US-5,765,243 a device in two parts shaped to develop in the middle part a recess for the spine and these two parts have at one of their ends a reception area turned upwards on which comes to rest a support zone of the other end of the other part. Linking means are located at these reception and support areas to assemble the two parts.

Une telle réalisation nécessite des matériaux aptes à conférer une rigidité importante pour sa manoeuvre et éviter que les parties s'écartent sous le poids du patient et des moyens de liaison très résistant car tous les efforts sont localisés au niveau de ces deux liaisons. Un tel élément ne peut être souple.Such an embodiment requires materials capable of imparting significant rigidity for its operation and to prevent the parts deviate under the weight of the patient and very strong connection means because all the efforts are located at these two connections. Such an element can not be flexible.

L'invention a pour objet de proposer une solution qui simplifie notamment l'assemblage et le netoyage.The object of the invention is to propose a solution which simplifies in particular assembly and cleaning.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un support en deux parties qui assemblées définissent une surface portante pleine globalement rectangulaire pour transférer un patient, chaque partie étant délimitée par un bord longitudinal extérieur globalement rectiligne et un bord de jonction délimité par une ligne brisée définissant une alternance de dents et d'encoches disposées en sorte que les dents de l'une des parties se positionnent au niveau des encoches de l'autre partie ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que toutes les dents d'une partie constitue une pièce unitaire et les dents d'une partie s'imbriquent entre les dents de l'autre partie la face inférieure de chaque dent venant en appui sur la face supérieure de l'autre partie la dite dent se posant sur une surface située en deçà de l'encoche en sorte qu'assemblées toutes les dents sont visibles sur l'une des deux faces du support et la ligne définie par les contacts latéraux des dents constitue un axe permettant une rotation des parties uniquement dans un demi espace.To this end, the subject of the invention is a support in two parts which together define a full, generally rectangular, bearing surface for transferring a patient, each part being delimited by a generally rectilinear outer longitudinal edge and a joining edge delimited by a broken line. defining an alternation of teeth and notches arranged so that the teeth of one of the parts are positioned at the notches of the other part, this device being characterized in that all the teeth of a part constitutes a unitary piece and the teeth of one part fit between the teeth of the other part, the lower face of each tooth bearing on the upper face of the other part, the said tooth resting on a surface located below the notch so that assembled all the teeth are visible on one of the two faces of the support and the line defined by the lateral contacts of the teeth constitutes a perme axis being a rotation of the parts only in a half space.

L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci après faite qui représente schématiquement :

  • FIG 1 le support en position de fonctionnement en vue de dessus
  • FIG 2 : la vue de dessous du support
  • FIG 3 une des deux parties du support en vue de dessus
  • FIG 4 : la vue de dessous du support de la figure3
  • FIG 5 : une coupe verticale du support en cours d'assemblage
  • FIG 6 : un support rigide avec son moyen de verrouillage
  • FIG 7 : un détail du moyen de verrouillage de la figure 6.
The invention will be better understood from the following description, which schematically represents:
  • FIG 1 the support in operating position in top view
  • FIG 2 : the bottom view of the support
  • FIG 3 one of the two parts of the support in view from above
  • FIG 4 : the bottom view of the support of the Figure 3
  • FIG 5 : a vertical section of the support being assembled
  • FIG 6 : a rigid support with its locking means
  • FIG 7 : a detail of the locking means of the figure 6 .

En se reportant au dessin, on voit un support 1 destinée à transférer un patient d'une surface à une autre surface. Ce support 1 est globalement rectangulaire.Referring to the drawing, there is shown a support 1 for transferring a patient from one surface to another surface. This support 1 is generally rectangular.

Le patient est posé dessus après avoir été positionné en décubitus latéral et le déplacement se fait en glissant le support et en soulevant légèrement ledit support.The patient is placed on it after being placed in lateral decubitus and the displacement is done by sliding the support and lifting slightly said support.

Ce support est constitué par assemblage momentanée de deux parties 2A, 2B complémentaires d'un flanc de matière, chaque partie étant délimitée par un bord 1A longitudinal extérieur globalement rectiligne et un bord 1B dit de jonction délimité par une ligne brisée définissant en alternance des dents 4 et des encoches 5 disposées en sorte que les dents de l'une des parties se positionnent au niveau des encoches de l'autre partie. Toutes les dents d'une partie constitue une pièce unitaire et les dents s'imbriquent les unes dans les autres et chaque dent se pose sur la face supérieure de l'autre partie en sorte qu'assemblées toutes les dents sont visibles sur l'une des faces du support et la ligne Z définie par les contacts latéraux des dents constitue un axe permettant une rotation des parties uniquement dans un demi espace. Cette ligne Z est aussi un axe de reprise de charge.This support consists of a momentary assembly of two complementary portions 2A, 2B of a flank of material, each portion being delimited by a generally straight longitudinal outer edge 1A and a junction edge 1B delimited by a broken line alternately defining teeth. 4 and notches 5 arranged so that the teeth of one of the parts are positioned at the notches of the other part. All the teeth of a part is a unitary piece and the teeth fit into each other and each tooth is placed on the upper face of the other part so that all the teeth are visible on one the faces of the support and the line Z defined by the lateral contacts of the teeth constitutes an axis allowing a rotation of the parts only in a half space. This line Z is also a load recovery axis.

Chaque dent a une zone 4A d'extrémité se posant sur une surface 6 d'appui située en deçà de l'encoche la dite surface dite d'appui 6 étant présentée par la face supérieure de l'autre partie.Each tooth has an end zone 4A resting on a bearing surface 6 located below the notch, said so-called bearing surface 6 being presented by the upper face of the other part.

On comprend bien que l'assemblage est simple car il suffit de placer les extrémités de dent d'une des parties sur la face supérieure de l'autre partie et vice et versa et rapprocher l'ensemble.It is understandable that the assembly is simple because it is sufficient to place the tooth ends of one of the parts on the upper face of the other party and vice versa and bring the whole.

La face du dispositif assemblé présentant les dents constitue la surface sur laquelle le patient se pose, les dents venant en appui sur les surfaces d'appui empêchent la rotation d'une partie par rapport à l'autre dans un sens et au-delà d'un angle de 180°.The face of the assembled device presenting the teeth constitutes the surface on which the patient lands, the teeth bearing on the bearing surfaces prevent rotation of one part with respect to the other in a direction and beyond an angle of 180 °.

Si on trace une ligne Z médiane sur une des deux parties on se rend compte que cette ligne disparait à chaque fois qu'elle rencontre une dent comme dans un tissage le fil de trame passant au dessus d'un fil de chaine puis en dessous.If we draw a median line Z on one of the two parts we realize that this line disappears every time it meets a tooth as in a weaving weft passing over a warp and then below.

Cela permet éventuellement de soulever le patient car il y a une reprise de charge.This can eventually lift the patient because there is a load recovery.

On comprend bien qu'il est simple d'imbriquer les deux parties en les présentant selon un angle de 90° puis par rotation les mettre en position de travail.It is understood that it is simple to nest the two parts by presenting them at an angle of 90 ° and then by rotation put them in the working position.

Un moyen 7 de verrouillage de l'assemblage des deux parties est prévu.A means 7 for locking the assembly of the two parts is provided.

Chaque partie est un flanc de matière que l'on peut qualifier d'homogène.Each part is a flank of material that can be described as homogeneous.

Toutes les dents d'une partie sont solidaires et forment une pièce unitaire en forme de peigne. Par exemple, on utilise un flanc de matière rigide ou semi-rigide que l'on découpe en suivant le contour externe de la pièce unitaire.All the teeth of a part are integral and form a unitary piece in the shape of a comb. For example, using a flank of rigid or semi-rigid material that is cut along the outer contour of the unitary piece.

Par flanc en matériau homogène on comprend des flancs en mono-matériau ou multicouches avec éventuellement des zones renforcées au niveau des poignées mais ces renforts non pas une étendue significative c'est-à-dire ayant une surface proche de celle d'une dent. Lorsqu'on utilise un multicouche, l'ensemble des dents est donc issu d'une plaque découpée (sans dissociation des dents) , cette plaque étant recouverte de chaque coté par au moins une feuille qui a pour but la protection de la plaque découpéeBy flank of homogeneous material are included sides of mono-material or multilayer with possibly reinforced areas at the handles but these reinforcements not a significant extent that is to say having a surface close to that of a tooth. When a multilayer is used, all the teeth are therefore derived from a cut plate (without dissociation of the teeth), this plate being covered on each side by at least one sheet which is intended to protect the cut plate.

En l'état non assemblé, chaque partie a une forme générale de peigne. On imbrique un peigne dans l'autre peigne comme on croise les doigts de la main par translation et on verrouille.In the unassembled state, each part has a general comb shape. A comb is imbricated in the other comb as one crosses the fingers of the hand by translation and locks.

Les deux parties sont identiques dans leur forme mais se monte tête bêche.The two parts are identical in their form but are mounted head to tail.

Pour faciliter l'emboitement le bord 70 de l'encoche est en retrait par rapport à l'axe Z de reprise de charge correspondant à la ligne médiane du dispositif assemblé c'est-à-dire à la ligne d'articulation.To facilitate nesting the edge 70 of the notch is recessed relative to the Z axis load recovery corresponding to the center line of the assembled device that is to say the hinge line.

Le support présente au long des deux bords externes longitudinaux une zone 8 dite de préhension où sont aménagées des poignées 9 pour saisir le support. Ces poignées peuvent être des lumières dans le flanc de la matière ou une pièce rapportée.The support has along the two longitudinal outer edges a so-called gripping zone 8 which are provided with handles 9 to grip the support. These handles can be lights in the side of the material or a patch.

Les dents ont la forme de trapèze dont la longueur de la petite base est proche de la longueur de la grande base c'est-à-dire de l'ordre de 80 à 90%.The teeth have the shape of trapezium whose length of the small base is close to the length of the large base that is to say of the order of 80 to 90%.

On voit que l'une des dents, celle située à une extrémité, est un trapèze rectangle car elle se situe sur le bord transversal du support alors que les deux autres dents ont une forme de trapèze isocèle.We see that one of the teeth, the one at one end, is a rectangle trapezium because it is located on the transverse edge of the support while the other two teeth have an isosceles trapezium shape.

Les dents ne sont pas pointues et le bord extrême des dents est sensiblement parallèle au bord longitudinal extérieur.The teeth are not pointed and the extreme edge of the teeth is substantially parallel to the outer longitudinal edge.

Dans une variante les dents seront sensiblement rectangulaires.In a variant the teeth will be substantially rectangular.

L'extrémité de chaque dent vient se poser sur une zone 6 d'appui.The end of each tooth is placed on a support zone 6.

Dans une forme de réalisation, l'épaisseur du flanc de matériau au niveau de la zone d'appui est inférieure à l'épaisseur du flanc bordant la dite zone afin de compenser l'épaisseur de l'extrémité de la dent qui vient se poser dessus. Cette zone d'appui est comme une empreinte d'épaisseur réduite pour recevoir l'extrémité de la dent également d'épaisseur réduite, les épaisseurs étant déterminées pour après assemblage des deux parties définir un support d'épaisseur constante.In one embodiment, the thickness of the material flank at the bearing zone is less than the thickness of the flank bordering the said zone in order to compensate for the thickness of the end of the tooth that comes to rest. above. This bearing zone is like a cavity of reduced thickness to receive the end of the tooth also of reduced thickness, the thicknesses being determined for after assembly of the two parts to define a support of constant thickness.

L'une des parties du support étant posée sur l'autre partie, il faut les verrouiller entre elles.One of the parts of the support being placed on the other part, it is necessary to lock them between them.

Par exemple des moyens 7 de verrouillage à savoir un verrouillage actif dans le sens du glissement d'une partie par rapport à l'autre constitué par des butés de verrouillage perpendiculaire à la surface portante du support et un verrouillage dans le sens perpendiculaire à la surface de la dent s'opposant au retrait de la dent de son empreinte d'appui sont prévus au niveau de ces zones d'appui recevant l'extrémité de la dent..For example locking means 7 namely an active locking in the direction of sliding of one part relative to the other consisting of locking stops perpendicular to the bearing surface of the support and locking in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the tooth opposing the withdrawal of the tooth from its bearing footprint are provided at these bearing areas receiving the end of the tooth.

Par exemple la zone d'appui comprend un plot 7A en sailli sur lequel se positionne une lumière 7B de la zone d'extrémité de la dent correspondante. Une languette pivotante empêche le retrait du plot de la lumière.For example, the support zone comprises a projecting stud 7A on which a light 7B of the end zone of the corresponding tooth is positioned. A pivoting tab prevents the removal of the stud from the light.

Cette solution de verrouillage s'applique avec un support relativement épais et suffisamment rigide, par exemple, un support en fibre de carbone .This locking solution is applied with a relatively thick and sufficiently rigid support, for example a carbon fiber support.

On utilise également avec un support rigide , un profilé 200 venant chevaucher les deux parties dans la zone de recouvrement d'une dent sur la surface d'appui, ce profilé comprenant un axe 201 de pivot perpendiculaire à la surface portante et un bec 202 de verrouillage qui s'engage dans une cavité 203 (FIG 6 et 7). Dans une autre forme le moyen de verrouillage est localisé au niveau des extrémités des dents où une lumière constitue une poigné et le verrouillage consiste en un lien qui vient solidariser les poignés.It is also used with a rigid support, a section 200 overlapping the two parts in the area of overlap of a tooth on the bearing surface, this section comprising a pivot axis 201 perpendicular to the bearing surface and a nozzle 202 of locking which engages in a cavity 203 ( FIG 6 and 7 ). In another form the locking means is located at the ends of the teeth where a light is a handle and the locking consists of a link that joins the handles.

Il est préférable de localiser les verrous en dehors de la zone où se positionne le patient.It is best to locate the locks outside the area where the patient is positioned.

En effet, lorsque le patient a été transféré d'une surface vers une autre, on déverrouille les deux parties et on tire sur chaque partie en sens opposé pour les écarter et les retirer de sous le malade. Pour déverrouiller, il est donc préférable que les verrous soient facilement accessibles même lorsque le patient est sur le support.Indeed, when the patient has been transferred from one surface to another, the two parts are unlocked and each part is pulled in the opposite direction to remove them and remove them from under the patient. To unlock, it is therefore preferable that the locks are easily accessible even when the patient is on the support.

Une solution simple consiste en une bande de matériau liant les lumières qui se superposent. En effet chaque dent comporte à son extrémité libre une lumière venant en coïncidence avec une lumière située au niveau du bord extérieur sensiblement.A simple solution consists of a strip of material binding the overlapping lights. Indeed each tooth has at its free end a light coinciding with a light located at the outer edge substantially.

De préférence la face supérieure du support est lisse pour être simple à nettoyer.Preferably the upper face of the support is smooth to be easy to clean.

La face inférieure est granuleuse pour faciliter le glissement et éviter un effet ventouse. Par granuleux, on comprendra par exemple des demi-sphères (formes douces) et non des formes acérées qui augmenteraient la friction.The underside is granular to facilitate sliding and avoid a suction effect. By granular, it will be understood for example half-spheres (soft forms) and not sharp forms that increase friction.

Le matériau utilisé est de préférence radio-transparent.The material used is preferably radiolucent.

Un tel produit est simple à entretenir car il n'y a pas de poche et le produit est délimité par une face supérieure et une face inférieureSuch a product is simple to maintain because there is no pocket and the product is delimited by an upper face and a lower face

Le support est mono-couche, par exemple, constitué de fibres de carbone. Selon l'épaisseur, le support est plus ou moins souple.The support is mono-layer, for example, made of carbon fibers. Depending on the thickness, the support is more or less flexible.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation, le support est de type multicouche formé de feuilles superposées .Cela permet de concevoir un produit plus souple. Les feuilles sont assemblées par collage ou soudure type ultrason ou autre méthode.In another embodiment, the support is of the multilayer type formed of superposed sheets. This makes it possible to design a more flexible product. The sheets are assembled by gluing or welding type ultrasound or other method.

L'utilisation de plusieurs feuilles permet plus facilement d'obtenir, avec des produits existants l'aspect de surface (granuleux ou lisse) que l'on souhaite. En outre, on peut plus facilement ajuster la souplesse et la résistance.The use of several sheets makes it easier to obtain, with existing products, the surface appearance (granular or smooth) that is desired. In addition, flexibility and resistance can be more easily adjusted.

Le verrouillage des parties entre elles peut se faire au moyen d'une patte qui prolonge la dent et qui vient se fixer par un moyen type bouton pression ou bande à crochets et boucles encore connu sous la marque « VELCRO » sur l'autre partie ou au moyen d'aimants.The locking of the parts between them can be done by means of a tab which extends the tooth and which is fixed by means of a press button type or hook and loop tape still known under the trademark "VELCRO" on the other part or by means of magnets.

Peuvent être inclus dans ces flancs de matière des renforts mais on peut considérer que le produit est, à l'exception de zones de renfort, homogène.Reinforcements may be included in these flanks of material, but it may be considered that the product, with the exception of reinforcement zones, is homogeneous.

Par exemple, une zone de renfort peut se localiser autour des lumières utilisées comme poignées de manutention . Des renforts peuvent être localisés au niveau des moyens de verrouillage.For example, a reinforcing zone can be located around the lights used as handling handles. Reinforcements may be located at the locking means.

Dans le cas de fibres de carbone, le renfort se fait en introduisant, par exemple, des fibres plus longues avec une orientation particulière.In the case of carbon fibers, the reinforcement is done by introducing, for example, longer fibers with a particular orientation.

Le renfort des supports multicouches peut consister en la présence d'une bande souple en kevlar ou autre.The reinforcement of the multilayer supports may consist of the presence of a flexible band Kevlar or other.

On peut prévoir qu'une des couches est un rembourrage ou que celui ci peut être rapporté provisoirement sur le support avec des moyens de fixation appropriés.It can be provided that one of the layers is padding or that it can be reported temporarily on the support with appropriate fastening means.
