Description
La présente invention concerne un repose-pied de fauteuil pour personne à mobilité réduite. Elle concerne également un fauteuil comportant un tel repose-pied.The present invention relates to a chair footrest for persons with reduced mobility. It also relates to an armchair comprising such a footrest.
La présente invention est en particulier, mais pas exclusivement, applicable à un fauteuil roulant, par exemple mais pas exclusivement à un fauteuil roulant électrique.The present invention is particularly, but not exclusively, applicable to a wheelchair, for example but not exclusively to an electric wheelchair.
On connait dans l'état de la technique des fauteuils roulants munis d'un repose pied fixe. Le transfert des patients qui souhaitent accéder au fauteuil roulant ou descendre du fauteuil roulant est gêné par le repose-pied.Wheelchairs equipped with a fixed footrest are known in the state of the art. The transfer of patients who wish to access the wheelchair or get off the wheelchair is hampered by the footrest.
Dans le cas d'un fauteuil manuel relativement léger, il arrive par ailleurs que le fauteuil roulant bascule vers l'avant lorsque l'utilisateur se relève et appuie tout son poids sur le repose-pied qui n'est pas en contact avec le sol.In the case of a relatively light manual wheelchair, it also happens that the wheelchair tilts forward when the user stands up and presses his weight on the footrest that is not in contact with the ground .
On connait aussi dans l'état de la technique des fauteuils roulants munis d'un repose pied escamotable vers l'intérieur ou vers l'extérieur pour faciliter le transfert des patients. Le réglage de la hauteur du repose-pied à la hauteur idéale en fonction de la morphologie du patient est souvent difficile et nécessite des outils.
On connait aussi dans l'état de la technique des fauteuils roulants munis d'un repose pied escamotable (vers l'intérieur ou l'extérieur) et en outre détachable pour faciliter le transfert des patients. Le problème reste le même que précédemment.Also known in the state of the art wheelchairs provided with a retractable footrest inward or outwardly to facilitate the transfer of patients. Adjusting the height of the footrest to the ideal height depending on the morphology of the patient is often difficult and requires tools.
Also known in the state of the art wheelchairs provided with a retractable footrest (inward or outward) and further detachable to facilitate the transfer of patients. The problem remains the same as before.

Il existe donc un besoin pour une solution plus simple et plus ergonomique du point de vue de l'utilisateur.There is therefore a need for a simpler and more ergonomic solution from the point of view of the user.
Pour pallier ces différents inconvénients, l'invention prévoit différents moyens techniques.To overcome these various disadvantages, the invention provides various technical means.
Tout d'abord, un premier objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir un repose-pied pour fauteuil roulant permettant un transfert de l'utilisateur pour accéder ou descendre du fauteuil de façon simple et sans être gêné par la présence du repose-pied.First, a first object of the invention is to provide a footrest for a wheelchair for a transfer of the user to access or get off the chair in a simple way and without being bothered by the presence of the footrest.
Un but de l'invention est aussi de permettre à une tierce personne, par exemple un ou une aide-soignant, d'aider le patient dans ses transferts sans être gêné par la présence des repose-pieds.An object of the invention is also to allow a third person, for example a caregiver or a caregiver, to assist the patient in his transfers without being bothered by the presence of footrests.
Un but de l'invention est aussi de permettre un transfert de l'utilisateur en posant le pied à plat sur le repose-pied.An object of the invention is also to allow a transfer of the user by placing the foot flat on the footrest.
Un but de l'invention est aussi d'éviter le risque de basculement du fauteuil vers l'avant lorsque l'utilisateur se relève sur le repose-pied.An object of the invention is also to avoid the risk of tilting the wheelchair forward when the user stands on the footrest.
Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir un repose-pied, notamment un repose-pied pour fauteuil roulant électrique, dont la hauteur peut être ajustée de manière électrique.Another object of the invention is to provide a footrest, including a footrest for electric wheelchair, the height of which can be adjusted electrically.
Un autre objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir un repose-pied, notamment un repose-pied pour fauteuil roulant électrique, plus ergonomique que les repose-pied existants.Another object of the invention to provide a footrest, including a footrest for electric wheelchair, more ergonomic than existing footrest.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est de prévoir un repose-pied dont la hauteur peut être réglée facilement et sans outils afin d'obtenir une position assise correspondant au mieux aux souhaits, à la morphologie et à la pathologie de l'utilisateur.Another object of the present invention is to provide a footrest whose height can be adjusted easily and without tools to obtain a sitting position that best corresponds to the wishes, morphology and pathology of the user.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est de prévoir un repose-pied qui permette à l'utilisateur d'ajuster facilement, à n'importe quel moment de la journée, la hauteur du repose-pied afin d'améliorer son confort et/ou de prévenir les escarres.Another object of the present invention is to provide a footrest that allows the user to easily adjust, at any time of the day, the height of the footrest to improve comfort and / or to prevent bedsores.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est de prévoir un repose-pied dont la hauteur peut être aisément réglée tout au long de la journée pour prévenir le risque d'escarres.Another object of the present invention is to provide a footrest whose height can be easily adjusted throughout the day to prevent the risk of pressure ulcers.
Pour ce faire, l'invention prévoit un repose-pied pour fauteuil roulant comportant :
- un montant télescopique ;
- un plateau à l'extrémité inférieure du montant télescopique;
- un actionneur adapté pour permettre l'extension et la rétraction du montant télescopique ;
- un détecteur de fin de course, couplé à l'actionneur et agencé de façon à détecter un obstacle sous le repose-pied.
- a telescopic post;
- a tray at the lower end of the telescopic post;
- an actuator adapted to allow extension and retraction of the telescopic post;
- an end-of-travel detector, coupled to the actuator and arranged to detect an obstacle under the footrest.
Le détecteur de fin de course peut par exemple être situé dans la direction d'extension du montant télescopique.The limit switch can for example be located in the extension direction of the telescopic post.
Le repose pied peut être électrifié et commandé par un boîtier de commande.The footrest can be electrified and controlled by a control box.
Grâce à une telle architecture, l'utilisateur peut aisément ajuster la hauteur du repose-pied en fonction de ses besoins, à tout moment, sans devoir recourir à l'aide d'une autre personne pour procéder à des ajustements manuels souvent fastidieux. Pour les personnes à mobilité réduite en quête d'une certaine indépendance dans la réalisation des gestes quotidiens, cet aspect présente un progrès notable.With such an architecture, the user can easily adjust the height of the footrest according to his needs, at any time, without having to use the help of another person to make manual adjustments often tedious. For people with reduced mobility looking for a certain independence in the realization of the daily actions, this aspect presents a notable progress.
L'utilisateur peut notamment commander le positionnement du repose-pied pour le placer au niveau du sol. Il a ainsi un accès facilité à son fauteuil pour s'asseoir ou se lever. Une fois en position assise, il peut à loisir ajuster la position verticale du repose-pied à un niveau lui procurant le maximum de confort.In particular, the user can control the positioning of the footrest to place it at ground level. He thus has easy access to his chair to sit or stand up. Once seated, he can adjust the vertical position of the footrest to a level that gives him the maximum comfort.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le plateau du repose-pied est pivotant du haut vers le bas et du bas vers le haut, de sorte que la portion éloignée du repose-pied puisse s'approcher ou s'éloigner du montant télescopique.According to an advantageous embodiment, the platform of the footrest is pivoted from top to bottom and from bottom to top, so that the remote portion of the footrest can approach or move away from the telescopic post.
De manière avantageuse, le repose-pied comporte un moteur pour actionner le pivotement du plateau du repose-pied.Advantageously, the footrest comprises a motor for actuating the pivoting of the footrest plate.
Une commande par joystick ou tout autre organe de commande peut être prévu pour régler la hauteur du montant télescopiqueJoystick control or any other control member may be provided to adjust the height of the telescopic post
Egalement de manière avantageuse, le plateau du repose-pied est couplé à un limiteur de course limitant le pivotement du repose-pied de façon à le placer automatiquement dans une position parallèle au solAlso advantageously, the platform of the footrest is coupled to a stroke limiter limiting the pivoting of the footrest so as to place it automatically in a position parallel to the ground
Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux, le repose-pied comporte par ailleurs un détecteur de position, agencé pour limiter la course du montant télescopique en mode rétraction. Le détecteur de position est de préférence ajustable. Ce détecteur est utilisé par exemple pour permettre de retrouver automatiquement une position favorite de l'utilisateur, préalablement sélectionnée.According to another advantageous embodiment, the footrest further comprises a position detector, arranged to limit the stroke of the telescopic post in retraction mode. The position detector is preferably adjustable. This detector is used for example to allow to automatically find a favorite position of the user, previously selected.
L'invention prévoit par ailleurs un fauteuil comportant un repose-pied tel que préalablement décrit.The invention further provides a chair with a footrest as previously described.

La
Pour éviter toute extension excessive, un détecteur de fin de course 5 est avantageusement prévu en coopération avec le montant télescopique et l'actionneur 4. Le détecteur de fin de course permet de stopper l'extension du montant 2 lorsqu'un obstacle est atteint. En utilisation courante, lorsque le repose-pied 3 contacte le sol, le détecteur de fin de course 5 permet de stopper l'extension du montant. Dans l'exemple illustré à la
Lors d'un contact avec le sol ou un autre obstacle, le détecteur de fin de course est enclenché par l'actionneur 4 qui subit un léger déplacement axial contre le détecteur 5 du fait du blocage axial de l'extrémité éloignée du montant télescopique. Dans une variante de réalisation, le détecteur de fin de course est un interrupteur positionné sous le plateau 3 et prévu pour être actionné lors d'un contact avec le sol. Dans une autre variante, le détecteur de fin de course est un capteur de couple, qui est enclenché lorsque l'actionneur axial 4 génère un couple au-delà d'un certain seuil, signifiant que le plateau repose-pied est vraisemblablement en contact avec le sol, ou avec un obstacle. D'autres détecteurs de fin de course peuvent être imaginés pour détecter un contact du repose-pied avec le sol.During contact with the ground or another obstacle, the limit switch is engaged by the actuator 4 which undergoes a slight axial displacement against the detector 5 due to the axial locking of the remote end of the telescopic upright. In an alternative embodiment, the end-of-travel detector is a switch positioned under the
Pour plus de confort, une ou plusieurs hauteurs intermédiaires favorites du repose-pied 3 sont ajustables ou sélectionnables de façon par exemple à permettre à ce dernier de s'arrêter automatiquement à une position pré-ajustée lors d'un repositionnement en montée ou en descente du plateau repose-pied. Un ou plusieurs détecteurs de position axiale 8 du plateau repose-pied ou une ou plusieurs butées ajustables peuvent permettre la mise en oeuvre de cette fonction. L'utilisateur peut ainsi bénéficier d'une ou plusieurs positions favorites faciles à obtenir à tout moment.For greater comfort, one or more preferred intermediate heights of the
Comme on le voit aux
Les commandes d'inclinaison et de positionnement vertical du plateau repose-pied sont avantageusement prévues à proximité immédiate des mains de l'utilisateur. Il peut s'agir de boutons poussoir, de levier ou manettes, de joysticks, ou tout autre type d'interface de commande de type connu.The tilting and vertical positioning of the footrest plate are advantageously provided in close proximity to the hands of the user. They may be push buttons, lever or joysticks, joysticks, or any other type of known type of control interface.
Dans une variante, pour éviter que le repose-pied soit au niveau du sol avec une position angulaire non parallèle au sol, un contacteur sollicite l'actionneur radial afin de positionner le repose-pied dans une position sensiblement plane. Le détecteur de fin de course 5 peut servir à cette fonction.Alternatively, to prevent the footrest is at ground level with an angular position not parallel to the ground, a contactor solicits the radial actuator to position the footrest in a substantially flat position. The limit switch 5 can be used for this function.
