Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a Hubscherensystem for bath lifter, comprising a bottom plate and a cover plate and arranged between these Hubscherenarme, wherein ends of the Hubscherenarme are each movably guided guided in guides arranged on the bottom or cover plate and wherein the equi-oriented ends of two mutually horizontally spaced Hubscherenarme are formed interconnected by a shaft.
  • Bath tub lifters offer many people with physical disabilities an accident-free and painless way of personal hygiene. It is essential that the bath lifts are designed so that they allow a comfortable and safe operation. Restless, fluctuating movements of the lifter, which are caused by soft materials and lacking stabilizing connections and guides, lead to injury hazards and an unsafe feeling in the user, they must therefore be counteracted.
  • the Hubscherensystem such a lifter allows a change in distance between the bottom and top plate, which usually carries a seat or is designed as such.
  • the drive for this is usually arranged in a backrest and drives one or more gears, which run on a vertical, attached to the bottom plate or hinged rack.
  • scissors are used, the ends of which are each guided horizontally in the bottom and top plate.
  • the object underlying the present invention is therefore to provide a safe Hubscherensystem.
  • a Hubscherensystem for bath lifter comprising a bottom plate and a cover plate and arranged therefrom Hubscherenarme, wherein ends of the Hubscherenarme are each movably guided in arranged on the bottom or top plate guides and wherein the equi-oriented ends of two mutually horizontally spaced Hubscherenarme formed by a shaft connected to each other, achieved in that the guides are each formed as a rack and the shaft each having a toothing in the region of a shaft end.
  • the Hubscherensystem invention has a bottom and a cover plate, which may be made in particular of plastic. Alternatively, other materials can be used, however, plastic proves to be particularly advantageous due to the low price and the satisfactory stability and water resistance.
  • the cover plate has a seat recess in which the user finds place. Alternatively, a seat may be attached by fastening means on the cover plate, so that such a seat recess is not necessary.
  • guides are essential for the Hubscherensystem invention, the lifting arms are slidably mounted in the guides movable.
  • the Hubscherensystem invention has a connection axis between two equally oriented, displaceable with respect to the plates Hubscherenarmen, ie front bottom and front top.
  • the shaft can according to the invention at any height of Hubscherenarme be arranged according to the invention, but a wave to the sliding on the bottom and / or top plate, or along Hubscherenarmenden is particularly advantageous, which has the smallest possible distance to the bottom or top plate.
  • the shaft itself can at least partially be used for guidance on the floor and / or cover plate.
  • the shaft in the region of the respective shaft ends has a toothing, which is guided in each case engaging in a trained as a rack guide the bottom and / or cover plate and at this unrolling.
  • the teeth can be one or more pieces with the shaft, it can be formed as Anformung or as a gear or gear section.
  • the teeth is incorporated in the shaft.
  • a shaft designed in this way is uncomplicated and correspondingly inexpensive to produce.
  • the shaft is movably guided in the racks, wherein the teeth incorporated in the shaft are engaging in the recesses of the racks.
  • the shaft is rotatably mounted in the Hubscherenarmen, so that the shaft when rolling out or retracting the scissors along the racks is unrolled. It is ensured by such a configuration that both sides of the shaft are unrolled simultaneously, so that the cover plate is evenly raised or lowered even with one-sided loads.
  • the toothing is designed as at least one gear and rotatably connected, in particular form-fitting manner with the shaft. Due to the rotatably mounted on the Hubscherenarmen the gears according to the invention are mounted the same on both sides, so that a uniform rolling of the gears allows and even with a one-sided load of the system, a uniform lifting or lowering of the cover plate is possible.
  • the rolling wheel transmits the force acting on the cover plate load on the lifting arms on the bottom plate, while the gear engages the rack. It is crucial that the gear is relieved from just this load to ensure increased life of the gear and the rack and a simple rolling with the least possible friction.
  • the rolling wheel can be designed to be rollable directly on the bottom and / or top plate or in a guide groove incorporated therein. Accordingly, the difference in diameter between the rolling wheel and gear to be adjusted so that the load is carried by the rolling wheel and the gear is in the rack cross. According to the invention it is particularly advantageous if the gear wheel and the rolling wheel are in one piece, but other connections between gear and rolling wheel are also according to the invention. A separate from the gear rotatably securing the rolling wheel on the shaft is provided according to the invention.
  • At least one toothed wheel is formed guided in a fork-shaped end of a Hubscherenarms.

  • a rack designed in this way is inserted into a corresponding recess in the base and / or cover plate and connected to it in a material or form-fitting manner. It is advantageous that the material of the rack does not have to correspond to that of the bottom and / or top plate. Rather, a material which is more resistant to friction can be used here for reasons of stability and wear.
  • the shaft is polygonal in cross-section, in particular four- or hexagonal.
  • the shaft allows a simple attachment and detachment of the gears and rolling wheels, which are so rotatably connected without further fasteners with the shaft.
  • the guides on the bottom and / or cover plate are additionally designed as a handle for a shaft end.
  • Such guides prevent jumping out of the shafts from the racks in shakings or shifts and ensure a constant adjustment, after which the shaft is engaging at both shaft ends in a toothing at the same height.
  • Such a guide also acts against unusually high force peaks on the scissor arms, as they can occur, for example, in case of faulty loads.
  • the rack may be mounted at one or both Umgriffen on the opposite side of the bottom or cover plate side of the Umgriffs.
  • the lifting arm arms are designed as equal parts. Common parts simplify the design and manufacture as well as the storage.
  • the lifting scissor arms are formed from a plastic, for example a PA with glass fiber. These are sufficiently stable and waterproof.
  • the lifting arm arms of one side against one another on a common connecting axis in their middle region in such a way that the lifting arm arms of one side are formed adjacent to each other at a common connecting axis in their middle region, such that a distance between the mutually facing sides of the respective one Stroke arms is less than 1 mm, in particular significantly less than 1 mm.
  • Such a configuration serves to further stabilize the Hubscherensystems, especially in the horizontal direction and especially in only slightly or half extended state, since in such a state, such a large overlap of the Hubscherenarme is present that the mutually overlapping surfaces due to the small distance without larger Deformations can support each other under high loads.
