Definitions
- the invention relates to a stand-up aid for persons from a sitting to a standing position. It can be helpful for elderly or handicapped persons, who are accordingly restricted in their mobility and, for example, have a reduced muscle power. However, the invention can also be used as an aid in sitting down, in which case the handling is reversed, as this is to be described as below when getting up.
- GB 2 318 329 A relates to a patient transport aid.
- Stand-up aids for physically handicapped persons in a sitting position are in DE 298 00 613 U1 and US 4,948,156 described.
- a grip element is arranged between two frame elements and connected to the frame elements or it can be connected to them.
- At least one of the frame elements has a length at which it extends from the handle element at least to the ground when it is embraced by a seated person on the handle element with their hands. But this can also be achieved, in which the length of at least one of the two frame elements is variable.
- An at least partially elastic support element is attached to the frame elements or fixable. The support member is disposed between the frame members at a height, one covering the range of minimum and maximum tibial heights of a seated person.
- the effective length ie the length which determines the distance between the base and the support element and / or the grip element, can be changed and adjusted by a length adjustability of at least one of the frame elements and / or grip element and / or an optional foot element.
- the handle element When using the stand-up the handle element is embraced by a seated person, the one or both frame members are based on the ground and the person can be supported with at least one leg in the tibial region up to his knee on the support, creating a lever system for getting up sitting person is formed and by pulling with manual power on the handle element a much easier getting up of the person can be reached.
- the grip element can be gripped with both hands next to each other, so that an increased lateral guidance when getting up is achievable.
- the support element may be dimensioned in its width so that a support with only one leg on a person using the Aussteh Vietnamese is possible.
- the one-legged use has the advantage that the other leg can be used as a "leg” and thus a safe and harmonious movement and stable at the same time comes about. It can be dimensioned in width but also for simultaneous support with both legs.
- the support element may be dimensioned so that it has a length in the direction from the bottom to the handle element, which is suitable for people of different sizes with corresponding leg length.
- the one or both reaching to the ground frame members should have a length at the function standing up, in which it is placed on the floor at least in the area of the feet placed on the floor of the person, preferably behind the feet / are, if the stand-up accordingly is used to get up. This improves the leverage and getting up is facilitated by a correspondingly required reduced traction of the person on the handle element.
- At least one of the frame elements can be changed in its length.
- the stand-up aid according to the invention can then be used as a walking stick and be gripped by the person on the grip element, wherein a correspondingly shortened frame element can be placed on the floor while walking.
- the one or both variable-length (s) frame member (s) and / or the frame members with the handle member may be designed as a telescope with one or more locking (s).
- a tubular part is held and guided in another tubular part.
- an end stop should be present as the maximum travel limit, in order to avoid unintentional falling out or separating.
- the set length between the handle element and the bottom end of at least one frame element can be maintained.
- a lock this infinitely in the telescope, for example, with a screw clamp connection realize. But it can also be used a stepped training, in which a length adjustment only in steps with intervals of a few millimeters, is possible.
- the bottom end of at least one of the frame elements parallel to the ground on which the bottom end is deductible be formed angled.
- This increases the area available for placement on the ground.
- the angled portion can be placed when standing behind the foot of each person, so that thereby an additional support can be achieved, which counteracts slippage of the respective frame member and can prevent this.
- the angled region should also be angled parallel to the handle element and preferably be immediately adjacent to the respective frame element or be a part (component / partial region) of the respective frame element.
- the bottom end of at least one of the frame members may be provided with a non-slip cover or be encompassed by it.
- the cover may preferably be exchangeable, so that a simple replacement is possible if necessary.
- the cover can be ergonomically adapted with its outer contour to a foot, in particular the back of a person's foot, which can be achieved by a concave outer contour. As a result, lateral slippage of the respective frame member can be prevented when getting up.
- a cover may be formed from an elastic polymer or rubber and have a profiling, for example with ribs, on the surface.
- the support element may be displaceable along the frame elements to its height change, whereby a further adaptation to the respective body size or leg length of a person using the stand-up assistance can be achieved. This allows the distance between the floor to be changed.
- the support member surrounds the frame members, so that it can be moved up or down.
- the support element can be formed at least partially from a textile material.
- a guide may be formed, through which in each case a partial region of the frame elements can be passed.
- the support element can be easily moved up or down and moved to the most favorable position for a person. By acting frictional forces unwanted shifting can be avoided.
- the support element may also be part of a preferably closable bag or a container.
- a bag or a container should be arranged on one side of the support element, so that the other side of the support element is available exclusively for its own function when getting up.
- the stand-up aid can actually be used independent of direction. It can in principle be used equally by both sides. In this case, a bag should be able to be changed from one side to the opposite side.
- a bag or a container can also be attached to the frame members and / or on the handle element or attached thereto.
- releasable fasteners can be used.
- a textile material is used for a support element, this should have sufficient strength to be able to withstand the forces acting on standing up. However, it should also have some compliance to achieve deformation upon contact with a part of the tibia and knee of a person which, in conjunction with surface formation of the textile material by friction, can prevent slippage of the leg.
- a support element can also be designed as a flat stable element between the two frame elements. This may be, for example, a plate connected to the frame elements or a similar element. Such a rigid element can then have at least on one side an elastic padding, on which a support of the leg area can take place when a person stands up.
- a cross strut interconnecting the frame elements may be present.
- the stability can be increased, which is particularly advantageous if only one frame member has a length that reaches up to the floor when getting up, since the handle element can be taken simultaneously with two hands at a distance next to each other, thereby exercising The lever function when standing up to a torque effect can occur, which could cause a rotation. This can be counteracted with a crosspiece.
- a transverse web can also be present at the upper edge of the support element, as a connection for the frame elements.
- the crossbar can also assume an additional support function for the support element. If the crosspiece is connected to the supporting element, it should be connected to the two frame elements in such a way that a height adjustment of the supporting element is possible.
- the transverse web can each have a sleeve on its outer end faces, through which the respective frame element is guided. If a suitable fit of the inner diameter of the sleeves and the outer diameter of the frame members is selected with a suitable material pairing, an undesired slippage of the support element can be avoided despite the possible adjustment of the height.
- the gripping element can be designed angled in the direction of the two frame elements in each case at an obtuse angle, starting from a horizontal transverse web. As a result, the gripping of the grip element can be made safer when getting up.
- the positioning of the two hands of a person who wants to use the stand-up can be done so defined, since the space available for it is limited. An asymmetrical gripping can be avoided so that the pulling force effect occurs when getting up without a torque acting.
- the frame members and the handle member may be made of metal, preferably light metal or of a fiber composite material.
- FIG. 1 an example of a standing-up aid according to the invention is shown, in which a support element 3 is shown in different height positions.
- a handle element 1 is present vertically above and with a horizontal orientation, which merges into two vertically aligned frame members 2.1 and 2.2.
- a frame element 2.1 has a length with which it extends from the handle element to the floor, if a person wants to use the stand-up to get up or sit down again.
- an angled region is present on the bottom side in the direction of the second frame element 2.2.
- the support member 3 has been moved to a lowest position, taking into account a person's 375 mm shin height.
- a maximum tibial bone height of 490 mm is taken into account.
- a non-slip cover may be present at the angled region of the frame element 2.1, which is present at least in the contact area with the ground. It can there be attached to the frame element 2.1 material and / or positive fit. But a cover can also be used in the form of a sleeve, which can be pushed starting from the free end face on the angled portion of the frame member 2.1. In this case, the cover can not only increase the slip resistance, but also be contoured so that a back of a foot supporting it reaches an improved grip.
- the second frame element 2.2 may extend to the ground and possibly also have an area that is angled away from it.
- the support element 3 is formed in this example of a textile material which is used at least double-layered. At its lateral outer edges, vertically aligned seams and / or darts have been made at a suitable distance from the outer edge. This results in loops through which the frame element 2.1 and 2.2 are performed. With sufficient tension of the textile material, a displacement can be avoided without a vertically acting force. But it is possible to move to move the support member 3 in a suitable position for each person to support when getting up, in which the respective shin bone height of the person is taken into account.
- FIG. 2 Several representations of a stand-up aid according to the invention are shown.
- the length between the handle element 1 and the bottom end of the here a frame element 2.1 can be changed.
- the length is shortened so that the stand-up aid can be used as a walker.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufstehhilfe für Personen aus einer sitzenden in eine stehende Position. Sie kann für ältere oder auch gehandikapte Personen hilfreich sein, die entsprechend in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkt sind und beispielsweise eine reduzierte Muskelkraft aufweisen. Die Erfindung kann aber auch als Hilfe beim Hinsetzen genutzt werden, wobei in diesem Fall die Handhabung umgekehrt erfolgt, als dies wie nachfolgend beim Aufstehen noch beschrieben werden soll.The invention relates to a stand-up aid for persons from a sitting to a standing position. It can be helpful for elderly or handicapped persons, who are accordingly restricted in their mobility and, for example, have a reduced muscle power. However, the invention can also be used as an aid in sitting down, in which case the handling is reversed, as this is to be described as below when getting up.
Üblicherweise werden so beeinträchtigte Personen durch Pflegepersonal betreut, die die Personen manuell unterstützen, ohne dass Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden bzw. in der Größe und in der Handhabung sehr sperrige und schwere Hilfsmittel verwendet werden. Dies stellt eine extreme körperliche Belastung für das Pflegepersonal dar.Usually so impaired persons are cared for by nursing staff, who support the people manually, without the use of aids or in the size and handling of very bulky and heavy tools are used. This represents an extreme physical burden for the nursing staff.
Um diesem Problem entgegen zu treten wurde in
Außerdem ist es dabei nachteilig, dass eine Abstützung der jeweiligen Person lediglich an einer Position und einem Bein erfolgt, was zu Gleichgewichtsproblemen beim Aufstehen einer Person, bis hin zu einem Sturz führen kann.Moreover, it is disadvantageous that a support of the respective person takes place only at a position and a leg, which can lead to balance problems when getting up a person, up to a fall.

Desweiteren ist aus
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, Möglichkeiten für ein sichereres Aufstehen von Personen, die kostengünstig zur Verfügung gestellt werden können und die flexibel bei unterschiedlich großen Personen einsetzbar sind.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide opportunities for safer getting up of people who can be provided inexpensively and which can be used flexibly for people of different sizes.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit einer Aufstehhilfe, die die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung können mit in untergeordneten Ansprüchen bezeichneten Merkmalen realisiert werden.According to the invention this object is achieved with a stand-up aid having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be realized with features described in the subordinate claims.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Aufstehhilfe ist ein Griffelement zwischen zwei Rahmenelementen angeordnet und mit den Rahmenelementen verbunden oder es kann mit ihnen verbunden werden.In the standing-up aid according to the invention, a grip element is arranged between two frame elements and connected to the frame elements or it can be connected to them.
Dabei weist mindestens eines der Rahmenelemente eine Länge auf, bei der es ausgehend vom Griffelement zumindest bis auf den Boden reicht, wenn es von einer sitzenden Person am Griffelement mit ihren Händen umgriffen ist. Dies kann aber auch erreicht werden, in dem die Länge mindestens eines der beiden Rahmenelemente veränderbar ist. An den Rahmenelementen ist ein zumindest bereichsweise elastisches Abstützelement befestigt oder befestigbar. Das Abstützelement ist zwischen den Rahmenelementen in einer Höhe, eines den Bereich einer minimalen und einer maximalen Schienbeinkopfhöhe einer sitzenden Person überdeckend, angeordnet.In this case, at least one of the frame elements has a length at which it extends from the handle element at least to the ground when it is embraced by a seated person on the handle element with their hands. But this can also be achieved, in which the length of at least one of the two frame elements is variable. An at least partially elastic support element is attached to the frame elements or fixable. The support member is disposed between the frame members at a height, one covering the range of minimum and maximum tibial heights of a seated person.
Die effektive Länge, also die Länge die den Abstand zwischen dem Boden und dem Abstützelement und/oder dem Griffelement bestimmt, kann durch eine Längenverstellbarkeit mindestens eines der Rahmenelemente und/oder Griffelement und/oder einem optional vorhandenen Fußelement, verändert und angepasst werden.The effective length, ie the length which determines the distance between the base and the support element and / or the grip element, can be changed and adjusted by a length adjustability of at least one of the frame elements and / or grip element and / or an optional foot element.
Bei der Nutzung der Aufstehhilfe wird das Griffelement von einer sitzenden Person umgriffen, Das eine oder beide Rahmenelemente stützen sich dabei am Boden ab und die Person kann sich mit mindestens einem Bein im Schienbeinbereich bis zu seinem Knie am Abstützelement abstützen, wodurch ein Hebelsystem zum Aufstehen der sitzenden Person gebildet ist und durch Ziehen mit Handkraft am Griffelement ein deutlich erleichtertes Aufstehen der Person erreichbar ist. Dabei kann das Griffelement mit beiden Händen nebeneinander ergriffen werden, so dass eine erhöhte seitliche Führung beim Aufstehen erreichbar ist.When using the stand-up the handle element is embraced by a seated person, the one or both frame members are based on the ground and the person can be supported with at least one leg in the tibial region up to his knee on the support, creating a lever system for getting up sitting person is formed and by pulling with manual power on the handle element a much easier getting up of the person can be reached. In this case, the grip element can be gripped with both hands next to each other, so that an increased lateral guidance when getting up is achievable.
Das Abstützelement kann in seiner Breite so dimensioniert sein, dass eine Abstützung mit lediglich einem Bein an einer die Ausstehhilfe nutzenden Person möglich ist. Das einbeinige Benutzen hat den Vorteil, dass das andere Bein als "Spielbein" benutzt werden kann und somit ein sicherer und harmonischer Bewegungsablauf und zugleich stabiler Stand zustande kommt. Es kann in seiner Breite aber auch für das gleichzeitige Abstützen mit beiden Beinen dimensioniert sein.The support element may be dimensioned in its width so that a support with only one leg on a person using the Ausstehhilfe is possible. The one-legged use has the advantage that the other leg can be used as a "leg" and thus a safe and harmonious movement and stable at the same time comes about. It can be dimensioned in width but also for simultaneous support with both legs.
Das Abstützelement kann so dimensioniert sein, dass es in Richtung ausgehend vom Boden bis zum Griffelement eine Länge aufweist, die für unterschiedlich große Personen mit entsprechender Beinlänge geeignet ist.The support element may be dimensioned so that it has a length in the direction from the bottom to the handle element, which is suitable for people of different sizes with corresponding leg length.
Das eine oder beide bis zum Boden reichende Rahmenelemente sollte bei der Funktion Aufstehhilfe eine Länge aufweisen, bei der sie auf dem Boden zumindest im Bereich der auf dem Boden aufgesetzten Füße der Person, bevorzugt hinter den Füßen aufgesetzt ist/sind, wenn die Aufstehhilfe entsprechend zum Aufstehen genutzt wird. Dadurch verbessern sich die Hebelverhältnisse und das Aufstehen wird durch eine entsprechend erforderliche reduzierte Zugkraft der Person am Griffelement erleichtert.The one or both reaching to the ground frame members should have a length at the function standing up, in which it is placed on the floor at least in the area of the feet placed on the floor of the person, preferably behind the feet / are, if the stand-up accordingly is used to get up. This improves the leverage and getting up is facilitated by a correspondingly required reduced traction of the person on the handle element.
Vorteilhaft kann mindestens eines der Rahmenelemente in seiner Länge verändert werden. Dadurch ist einmal eine weitere Anpassung an die Körpermaße der jeweiligen Person möglich. Zum anderen besteht die Möglichkeit durch eine Verkürzung der Länge des einen oder beider Rahmenelemente(s) eine Zusatzfunktion, nämlich die Funktion einer Gehhilfe zu erreichen. Die erfindungsgemäße Aufstehhilfe kann dann wie ein Gehstock genutzt und von der Person am Griffelement umgriffen genutzt werden, wobei ein entsprechend verkürztes Rahmenelement beim Gehen auf dem Boden aufgesetzt werden kann.Advantageously, at least one of the frame elements can be changed in its length. As a result, once a further adaptation to the body dimensions of each person is possible. On the other hand, the possibility exists by shortening the length of the one or both frame elements (s) to achieve an additional function, namely the function of a walker. The stand-up aid according to the invention can then be used as a walking stick and be gripped by the person on the grip element, wherein a correspondingly shortened frame element can be placed on the floor while walking.
Das eine oder beide längenveränderliche(n) Rahmenelement(e) und/oder die Rahmenelemente mit dem Griffelement können dafür als Teleskop mit einer oder mehreren Arretierung(en) ausgebildet sein. Dabei ist ein rohrförmiges Teil in einem anderen rohrförmigen Teil gehalten und geführt. An einem Teleskopelement sollte ein Endanschlag als maximale Wegbegrenzung vorhanden sein, um ein unbeabsichtigtes Herausfallen oder Trennen zu vermeiden. Mit einer Arretierung kann die eingestellte Länge zwischen dem Griffelement und dem bodenseitigen Ende mindestens eines Rahmenelements eingehalten werden. Dabei kann eine Arretierung dies stufenlos bei dem Teleskop, beispielsweise mit einer Schraub-Klemmverbindung, realisieren. Es kann aber auch eine gestufte Ausbildung genutzt werden, bei der eine Längeneinstellung lediglich in Stufen mit Abständen von einigen Millimetern, möglich ist. Hierfür kann beispielsweise ein Federelement mit Stift innerhalb eines teleskopförmigen Rahmenelements oder innerhalb des Griffelements angebracht sein, wobei der Stift durch eine Durchbrechung nach außen und zur Arretierung geführt durch eine weitere Durchbrechung eines weiteren teleskopförmigen Teils des jeweiligen Rahmenelements oder Griffelements geführt ist. Da der Stift federnd gehalten ist, kann die formschlüssige Verbindung durch einfachen Druck von außen auf den Stift gelöst werden, indem der Stift nicht mehr durch die äußere Durchbrechung reicht. Dabei kann eine Längenverschiebung erfolgen so dass der Stift in eine weiter oben oder weiter unten ausgebildete äußere Durchbrechung eingreift und erneut eine formschlüssige Verbindung zur Arretierung erreicht werden kann.The one or both variable-length (s) frame member (s) and / or the frame members with the handle member may be designed as a telescope with one or more locking (s). In this case, a tubular part is held and guided in another tubular part. On a telescopic element, an end stop should be present as the maximum travel limit, in order to avoid unintentional falling out or separating. With a lock, the set length between the handle element and the bottom end of at least one frame element can be maintained. In this case, a lock this infinitely in the telescope, for example, with a screw clamp connection realize. But it can also be used a stepped training, in which a length adjustment only in steps with intervals of a few millimeters, is possible. For this purpose, for example, a spring element with pin within a telescopic frame member or be mounted within the handle member, wherein the pin is guided through an opening to the outside and led to locking by a further opening of another part of the respective frame member or gripping element. Since the pin is held resiliently, the positive connection can be solved by simple pressure from the outside on the pin by the pin no longer extends through the outer opening. In this case, a length displacement can take place so that the pin engages in an up or down further formed outer opening and again a positive connection can be achieved for locking.
Zur Verbesserung der Sicherheit kann das bodenseitige Ende mindestens eines der Rahmenelemente parallel zum Boden, auf dem das bodenseitige Ende absetzbar ist, abgewinkelt ausgebildet sein. Dadurch vergrößert sich die zum Aufsetzen auf den Boden zur Verfügung stehende Fläche. Außerdem kann der abgewinkelte Bereich beim Aufstehen hinter dem Fuß der jeweiligen Person aufgesetzt werden, so dass dadurch ein zusätzlicher Halt erreicht werden kann, der einem Verrutschen des jeweiligen Rahmenelements entgegen wirkt und dieses verhindern kann. Dabei sollte der abgewinkelte Bereich auch parallel zum Griffelement abgewinkelt sein und sich bevorzugt unmittelbar an das jeweilige Rahmenelement anschließend oder ein Teil (Bestandteil/Teilbereich) des jeweiligen Rahmenelements sein.To improve safety, the bottom end of at least one of the frame elements parallel to the ground on which the bottom end is deductible, be formed angled. This increases the area available for placement on the ground. In addition, the angled portion can be placed when standing behind the foot of each person, so that thereby an additional support can be achieved, which counteracts slippage of the respective frame member and can prevent this. In this case, the angled region should also be angled parallel to the handle element and preferably be immediately adjacent to the respective frame element or be a part (component / partial region) of the respective frame element.
Das bodenseitige Ende mindestens eines der Rahmenelemente kann mit einer rutschfesten Abdeckung versehen oder davon umgriffen sein. Die Abdeckung kann bevorzugt austauschbar sein, so dass ein einfacher Austausch bei Bedarf möglich ist. Die Abdeckung kann mit seiner äußeren Kontur ergonomisch an einen Fuß, insbesondere der Rückseite eines Fußes einer Person angepasst sein, was durch eine konkave Außenkontur erreicht werden kann. Dadurch kann ein seitliches Verrutschen des jeweiligen Rahmenelements beim Aufstehen verhindert werden. Eine Abdeckung kann aus einem elastischen Polymer oder Gummi gebildet sein und an der Oberfläche eine Profilierung, beispielsweise mit Rippen, aufweisen.The bottom end of at least one of the frame members may be provided with a non-slip cover or be encompassed by it. The cover may preferably be exchangeable, so that a simple replacement is possible if necessary. The cover can be ergonomically adapted with its outer contour to a foot, in particular the back of a person's foot, which can be achieved by a concave outer contour. As a result, lateral slippage of the respective frame member can be prevented when getting up. A cover may be formed from an elastic polymer or rubber and have a profiling, for example with ribs, on the surface.
Das Abstützelement kann entlang der Rahmenelemente zu seiner Höhenveränderung verschiebbar sein, wodurch eine weitere Anpassung an die jeweilige Körpergröße oder Beinlänge einer die Aufstehhilfe nutzenden Person erreicht werden kann. Dadurch kann der Abstand zwischen dem Boden verändert werden. In einer einfachen und günstigen Ausführung umgreift das Abstützelement die Rahmenelemente, so dass es nach oben bzw. unten verschoben werden kann.The support element may be displaceable along the frame elements to its height change, whereby a further adaptation to the respective body size or leg length of a person using the stand-up assistance can be achieved. This allows the distance between the floor to be changed. In a simple and cheap design, the support member surrounds the frame members, so that it can be moved up or down.
Dafür kann das Abstützelement zumindest bereichsweise aus einem textilen Material gebildet sein. Durch eine doppellagige Ausführung mit geeigneter Nahtführung und Verstärkung kann an den seitlichen Rändern des Abstützelements eine Führung ausgebildet sein, durch die jeweils ein Teilbereich der Rahmenelemente hindurchgeführt werden kann. Das Abstützelement kann so einfach nach oben oder unten verschoben und an die jeweils günstigste Position für eine Person bewegt werden. Durch die wirkenden Reibkräfte kann ein unerwünschtes Verschieben vermieden werden.For this purpose, the support element can be formed at least partially from a textile material. By a two-ply design with suitable seam guide and reinforcement can at the lateral edges of the support element a guide may be formed, through which in each case a partial region of the frame elements can be passed. The support element can be easily moved up or down and moved to the most favorable position for a person. By acting frictional forces unwanted shifting can be avoided.
Das Abstützelement kann auch Teil einer bevorzugt verschließbaren Tasche oder eines Behältnisses sein. Dabei sollte eine Tasche oder ein Behältnis an einer Seite des Abstützelements angeordnet sein, so dass die andere Seite des Abstützelements ausschließlich für seine eigene Funktion beim Aufstehen zur Verfügung steht.The support element may also be part of a preferably closable bag or a container. In this case, a bag or a container should be arranged on one side of the support element, so that the other side of the support element is available exclusively for its own function when getting up.
Die Aufstehhilfe kann eigentlich richtungsunabhängig genutzt werden. Sie kann prinzipiell von beiden Seiten gleichermaßen benutzt werden. In diesem Fall sollte eine Tasche von einer Seite auf die gegenüberliegende Seite gewechselt werden können.The stand-up aid can actually be used independent of direction. It can in principle be used equally by both sides. In this case, a bag should be able to be changed from one side to the opposite side.
Eine Tasche oder ein Behältnis kann aber auch an den Rahmenelementen und/oder am Griffelement befestigt sein oder daran befestigt werden. Dafür können lösbare Befestigungsmittel eingesetzt werden.But a bag or a container can also be attached to the frame members and / or on the handle element or attached thereto. For releasable fasteners can be used.
Wird für ein Abstützelement ausschließlich oder zum größten Teil ein textiles Material eingesetzt, sollte dies eine ausreichende Festigkeit aufweisen, um den beim Aufstehen wirkenden Kräften widerstehen zu können. Es sollte aber auch eine gewisse Nachgiebigkeit aufweisen, um eine Verformung bei einer Berührung mit einem Teil des Schienbeins und Knies einer Person zu erreichen, bei der in Verbindung mit der Oberflächenausbildung des textilen Materials durch Reibung ein Verrutschen des Beines vermieden werden kann.If exclusively or for the most part a textile material is used for a support element, this should have sufficient strength to be able to withstand the forces acting on standing up. However, it should also have some compliance to achieve deformation upon contact with a part of the tibia and knee of a person which, in conjunction with surface formation of the textile material by friction, can prevent slippage of the leg.
Ein Abstützelement kann aber auch als flächiges stabiles Element zwischen den zwei Rahmenelementen ausgebildet sein. Dies kann beispielsweise eine mit den Rahmenelementen verbundene Platte oder ein ähnliches Element sein. Ein solches starres Element kann dann zumindest an einer Seite eine elastische Polsterung aufweisen, an der eine Abstützung des Beinbereichs beim Aufstehen einer Person erfolgen kann.However, a support element can also be designed as a flat stable element between the two frame elements. This may be, for example, a plate connected to the frame elements or a similar element. Such a rigid element can then have at least on one side an elastic padding, on which a support of the leg area can take place when a person stands up.
Oberhalb des Abstützelementes kann eine die Rahmenelemente miteinander verbindende Querstrebe vorhanden sein. Dadurch kann die Stabilität erhöht werden, was sich insbesondere dann vorteilhaft auswirkt, wenn lediglich ein Rahmenelement ein Länge aufweist, die bis zum Boden beim Aufstehen reicht, da das Griffelement ja mit zwei Händen gleichzeitig in einem Abstand nebeneinander ergriffen werden kann, wodurch es bei Ausübung der Hebelfunktion beim Aufstehen zu einer Drehmomentwirkung kommen kann, die ein Verdrehung hervorrufen könnte. Dem kann mit einem Quersteg entgegengewirkt werden.Above the support element, a cross strut interconnecting the frame elements may be present. As a result, the stability can be increased, which is particularly advantageous if only one frame member has a length that reaches up to the floor when getting up, since the handle element can be taken simultaneously with two hands at a distance next to each other, thereby exercising The lever function when standing up to a torque effect can occur, which could cause a rotation. This can be counteracted with a crosspiece.
Ein Quersteg kann auch am oberen Rand des Abstützelements, als eine Verbindung für die Rahmenelemente vorhanden sein. Dabei kann der Quersteg auch eine zusätzliche Stützfunktion für das Abstützelement übernehmen. Ist der Quersteg mit dem Abstützelement verbunden sollte er so mit den beiden Rahmenelementen verbunden sein, dass eine Höhenverstellung des Abstützelementes möglich ist. Dabei kann der Quersteg an seinen äußeren Stirnseiten jeweils eine Hülse aufweisen, durch die das jeweilige Rahmenelement hindurch geführt ist. Wird eine geeignete Passung des Innendurchmessers der Hülsen und des Außendurchmessers der Rahmenelemente mit einer geeigneten Materialpaarung gewählt, kann ein unerwünschtes Verrutschen des Abstützelements trotz der möglichen Anpassung der Höhe vermieden werden.A transverse web can also be present at the upper edge of the support element, as a connection for the frame elements. In this case, the crossbar can also assume an additional support function for the support element. If the crosspiece is connected to the supporting element, it should be connected to the two frame elements in such a way that a height adjustment of the supporting element is possible. In this case, the transverse web can each have a sleeve on its outer end faces, through which the respective frame element is guided. If a suitable fit of the inner diameter of the sleeves and the outer diameter of the frame members is selected with a suitable material pairing, an undesired slippage of the support element can be avoided despite the possible adjustment of the height.
Das Griffelement kann ausgehend von einem horizontalen Quersteg in Richtung der beiden Rahmenelemente in jeweils einem stumpfen Winkel abgewinkelt ausgebildet sein. Dadurch kann das Greifen des Griffelements beim Aufstehen sicherer gestaltet werden. Die Positionierung der beiden Hände einer Person, die die Aufstehhilfe nutzen möchte, kann so definierter erfolgen, da der dafür zur Verfügung stehende Platz limitiert wird. Ein unsymmetrisches Greifen kann so vermieden werden, so dass die Zugkraftwirkung beim Aufstehen erfolgt, ohne dass ein Drehmoment wirkt. Außerdem ergeben sich ergonomisch günstigere Verhältnisse, wenn die erfindungsgemäße Aufstehhilfe als Gehhilfsmittel genutzt wird.The gripping element can be designed angled in the direction of the two frame elements in each case at an obtuse angle, starting from a horizontal transverse web. As a result, the gripping of the grip element can be made safer when getting up. The positioning of the two hands of a person who wants to use the stand-up can be done so defined, since the space available for it is limited. An asymmetrical gripping can be avoided so that the pulling force effect occurs when getting up without a torque acting. In addition, ergonomically favorable conditions arise when the stand-up invention according to the invention is used as walking aids.
Die Rahmenelemente sowie das Griffelement können aus Metall, bevorzugt Leichtmetall oder aus einem Faserverbundwerkstoff hergestellt werden.The frame members and the handle member may be made of metal, preferably light metal or of a fiber composite material.

In
Ein Rahmenelement 2.1 hat eine Länge, mit der es ausgehend vom Griffelement bis zum Boden reicht, wenn eine Person die Aufstehhilfe zum Aufstehen bzw. auch zum wieder Hinsetzen nutzen möchte. An diesem Rahmenelement 2.1 ist bodenseitig in Richtung zweites Rahmenelement 2.2 ein abgewinkelter Bereich vorhanden. Dadurch kann in auf den Boden aufgesetzter Position ein besserer Halt gegen ein Verrutschen bei den beim Aufstehen bzw. Hinsetzen wirkenden Momenten und Kräften erreicht werden. Dieser Effekt kann noch gesteigert werden, indem dieser abgewinkelte parallel zum Boden ausgerichtete Bereich hinter den Fuß der jeweiligen Person positioniert wird.A frame element 2.1 has a length with which it extends from the handle element to the floor, if a person wants to use the stand-up to get up or sit down again. On this frame element 2.1, an angled region is present on the bottom side in the direction of the second frame element 2.2. As a result, in a position placed on the floor, a better grip against slipping in the moments and forces acting on standing up or sitting down can be achieved. This effect can be further enhanced by positioning this angled parallel-to-ground area behind the person's foot.
In der linken Darstellung von
In nichtdargestellter Form kann am abgewinkelten Bereich des Rahmenelements 2.1 eine rutschfeste Abdeckung (nicht dargestellt) vorhanden sein, die zumindest im Kontaktbereich mit dem Boden vorhanden ist. Sie kann dort am Rahmenelement 2.1 stoff- und/oder formschlüssig befestigt sein. Eine Abdeckung kann aber auch in Form einer Hülse eingesetzt werden, die ausgehend von der freien Stirnseite auf den angewinkelten Bereich des Rahmenelements 2.1 aufgeschoben werden kann. Dabei kann die Abdeckung nicht nur die Rutschfestigkeit erhöhen, sondern auch so konturiert sein, dass eine Rückseite eines sich daran abstützenden Fußes einen verbesserten Halt erreicht.In non-illustrated form, a non-slip cover (not shown) may be present at the angled region of the frame element 2.1, which is present at least in the contact area with the ground. It can there be attached to the frame element 2.1 material and / or positive fit. But a cover can also be used in the form of a sleeve, which can be pushed starting from the free end face on the angled portion of the frame member 2.1. In this case, the cover can not only increase the slip resistance, but also be contoured so that a back of a foot supporting it reaches an improved grip.
In nichtdargestellter Form kann auch das zweite Rahmenelement 2.2 bis zum Boden reichen und ggf. ebenfalls einen so abgewinkelten Bereich aufweisen.In a manner not shown, the second frame element 2.2 may extend to the ground and possibly also have an area that is angled away from it.
Das Abstützelement 3 ist bei diesem Beispiel aus einem textilen Material, das zumindest doppellagig genutzt wird, gebildet. An seinen seitlichen äußeren Rändern sind vertikal ausgerichtete Nähte und/oder Abnäher in einem geeigneten Abstand zum äußeren Rand hergestellt worden. Dadurch ergeben sich Schlaufen durch die die Rahmenelement 2.1 und 2.2 geführt sind. Bei ausreichender Spannung des textilen Materials kann ohne eine vertikal wirkende Kraft ein Verschieben vermieden werden. Es ist aber ein Verschieben möglich, um das Abstützelement 3 in eine für die jeweilige Person zum Abstützen beim Aufstehen geeignete Position zu verschieben, bei der die jeweilige Schienbeinkopfhöhe der Person berücksichtigt ist.The

Die Rahmenelemente 2.1 und 2.2 sind mit dem Quersteg 5 verbunden. Sowohl das Griffelement 1, wie auch das Rahmenelement 2.1 sind bei diesem Beispiel in Form eines Teleskops ausgebildet, wodurch sich die Länge zwischen dem Griffelement 1 und dem bodenseitige Ende des Rahmenelements 2.1 entsprechend der Größe oder Beinlänge einer die Aufstehhilfe nutzenden Person und die jeweilige Funktion als Aufsteh- oder Gehhilfe berücksichtigt werden können.The frame members 2.1 and 2.2 are connected to the
Der abgewinkelte bodenseitige Bereich des Rahmenelements 2.1 ist mit einer rutschhemmenden Abdeckung 4 überzogen.The angled bottom region of the frame element 2.1 is covered with a slip-
Außerdem sind Arretierungen 7 an den Teleskopen des Rahmenelements 2.1 vorhanden, mit denen eine Fixierung bei der jeweils gewünschten Länge erreicht werden kann. Sie können mit Durchbrechungen und mindestens einem Federelement, wie im allgemeinen Teil der Beschreibung erläutert, gebildet werden.In addition,
