Description

Device for transferring a bed,

in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a horizontal with respect to its longitudinal sides in an inclined position

The present invention relates to a device for transferring a bed, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a bezüg- his longitudinal sides horizontally in an inclined position.

In bed-dependent patients who are bed-ridden for a long period of time, especially in severely-affected intensive care patients, physiotherapeutic measures to maintain muscle, build muscle and / or improve mobility are often necessary. Depending on their particular state of health, many of the patients may need to stay in their beds during these physiotherapy procedures (also known as "mobilization"), but to maximize the effectiveness of exercise therapy, the patient should preferably be vertical, as this affects processes in the body support the recovery process, such as a reduction in the breakdown of muscle mass, a reduction in bone loss or a reduced reduction in cardiovascular endurance etc.

However, severely affected patients, especially patients whose consciousness is partially or completely restricted, often can not leave their bed, or only at great risk to their health. Ideally, patients should be able to be treated in such a case in a bed, which preferably can be transferred from a horizontal with respect to its longitudinal sides in an inclined position, in particular vertically. Known in-bed exercises In particular, however, machines do not allow for exercises in a verticalized position. But so that the feet are fully or partially burdened with the pressure of their own body weight, causing the healing process, eg. For example, after joint replacement or fracture of the bone, it is necessary to be able to bring all or part of the bed-type patient into a vertical position.

The greater the angle of inclination of the longitudinal sides of a bed and thus of the bed itself to the horizontal, the greater the weight acting on the patient, in particular on the support of bone, joints, tendons, muscles, etc., in the bed. In the context of exercise therapy, therefore, the change in the angle of inclination to angles> 45 °, preferably> 75 °, and ideally to angles close to 90 °, corresponding to an upright aisle, is usually aimed at.

The term "verticalization mechanism", the "verticalization of a bed" or the "transfer of a bed from a horizontal with respect to its longitudinal sides in an inclined position" should therefore be understood in the context of this invention devices or operations, the maximum inclination angle of a bed with respect to its longitudinal side relative to the horizontal of 45 ° <α <90 °, preferably angle> 75 ° allow.

DE 20 2012 002 908 U1, US Pat. No. 2,821,722 A, DE 94 20 429 U1 and US Pat. No. 3,310,289 A are known from the prior art in this connection.

In DE 20 2012 908 Ul and in DE 94 20 429 Ul devices for transporting beds, especially hospital beds are disclosed. The devices, which are both approximately "cart-like" or "hub carriage-like" formed, each lift one side of the bed slightly from the ground, so that two of the usually four wheels of the bed hang freely in the air, whereas the other two wheels still touch the ground. The bed can then be easily tilted, with the help of the respective device easily transported. Achieving greater angles of inclination, especially those> 45 °, can not be achieved with such device and is not necessary for the transport of beds. In addition, the devices disclosed in these two documents, because of the entirely different objective, also no way to support a bed in a tilted position so securely and firmly that a patient could perform physiotherapeutic exercises in bed.

The documents US 2,821,722 A and US 3,310,289 A each describe devices for one-sided lifting of a bed, for example for increased storage of the legs or upper body of a patient in a bed. Both devices each lift a transverse side of a bed, wherein the bedposts of the respective opposite transverse side remain on the ground. The angles of inclination achieved are so small that no securing and / or stabilizing means are provided for the patient during the tilting operation to prevent slippage. Again, the disclosed devices do not allow for such a secure stand during the inclination of the bed that a patient could perform physiotherapeutic exercises in bed.

To solve the problems described, reference is made to the earlier patent application WO 2015/158664 A1 and to the older patent of the applicant DE 10 2015 117 596 B3, to which reference is made in the context of the present invention, and which already provide a rehabilitation mechanism for bedridden patients and methods for its activation, and a bed comprising the rehabilitation mechanism, in particular: nursing bed, hospital bed, hospital bed or intensive care bed, which meets the above requirements. However, the bed or standing board known from these references must include its own verticalization mechanism for effective rehabilitation with the rehabilitation mechanism. Consequently, depending on the number of bedridden patients nursing and / or hospital further, sometimes enormous investment is necessary because beds with their own verticalization mechanism, especially bed, hospital bed, hospital bed or intensive care bed, in the purchase are significantly more expensive commercial beds without their own Vertikalisierungsmechanismus , Proceeding from this, the object of the present invention is an improved, in particular cheaper, device for transferring a bed, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, with respect to the prior art, from a horizontal side into an inclined, preferably vertical, side relative to its longitudinal side To provide position and to support the bed in a tilted position so that a patient physiotherapeutic exercises, in particular a movement therapy with the inclusion of self-weight shares, perform.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of the independent patent claim 1.

The device according to the invention for transferring a bed, from a horizontal position in an inclined position with respect to its longitudinal sides, is based on generic devices in that

- that the device

a receiving device for receiving the bed, as well as a stand device to ensure a stable state of the device

having, and that receiving device and stand device are operatively connected to each other via at least one adjusting mechanism, which tends the receiving device relative to the standing device. The device according to the invention advantageously allows the transfer of commercially available beds without their own verticalization mechanism, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a horizontal with respect to its longitudinal sides in an inclined, preferably vertically, position. This advantageously saves the purchase and thus the associated costs for a special bed with its own verticalization mechanism.

The device according to the invention also makes it possible to incline, preferably to vertically, a bedridden patient in his (own) bed, whereby angles of inclination between receiving and standing device of up to 90 ° can be achieved. In this case, the interaction of the receiving and the standing device advantageously supports and / or stabilizes the inclined bed position, in particular the verticalized bed position, in such a way that the patient can perform physiotherapeutic exercises in bed with the inclusion of self-weight fractions. The transfer of the patient into a separate device with its own verticalization mechanism or from his own to a special bed with its own verticalization mechanism, which involves great risks for the health of the patient and at great expense for the staff, is thereby advantageously avoided.

Advantageous embodiments and further developments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.

In a first embodiment of the invention, it is preferred that the receiving device and / or the standing device are formed at least in sections along both longitudinal sides of the bed, preferably substantially U-shaped. The design of the recording and / or stand device at least Sectionally along both longitudinal sides of the bed can advantageously take a recording of the bed near its center of gravity even in confined space, as it is sometimes found in hospitals and / or care institutions, allow. In the context of this invention, "picking up" is understood as meaning an interaction of the receiving device with the bed, which makes it possible to lift the bed from the floor in an inclined position with respect to its longitudinal sides during the transfer Beds are lifted completely off the floor so that all bedposts, cradles and / or other support means of the bed are spaced from the floor, especially from the floor of the hospital room In this case, apparatuses for monitoring the vital parameters and for carrying out life-sustaining measures are usually arranged, and a substantially U-shaped receiving and / or standing device can advantageously accommodate a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed ride up to allow the bed over the foot or drive the bed into the gap formed by the U-shape. In addition, a cross brace, as preferably realized by the U-shaped construction, contributes to the stiffening of the receiving and / or standing device when gripping on the longitudinal sides of the bed. In addition, a cross brace may advantageously provide a point of articulation for a stabilization mechanism for supporting and / or stabilizing a bed-grade patient.

Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, such a stabilization mechanism is provided for holding and / or stabilizing a patient, preferably completely or partially receiving the weight force of a bedridden patient. This advantageously allows therapy applications in which the patient trains under load all or only part of his body weight. The stabilization mechanism can thereby advantageously prevent slippage of the patient in bed, in particular at angles of inclination of> 45 °. In a further embodiment of the device has proven that the adjusting mechanism comprises at least one sensor for detecting the inclination angle and / or the inclination speed between the receiving device and the stand device. Such a sensor can advantageously provide actual values of a tilt angle between the receiving device and the standing device.

In addition, an embodiment according to the invention is preferred in which at least one control device is provided for interacting with the adjusting mechanism, in particular for setting control parameters, in particular an angle of inclination between the receiving device and the standing device and / or a tilting speed. This has the advantage that the operation of the adjustment mechanism controlled, via a control loop for balancing actual values of the inclination angle with the desired, predetermined by the control device, setpoint values of the inclination angle between recording and stand device, can take place, preferably all intermediate stages can be approached with 0 ° <α <90 °. In addition, various tilting speeds can advantageously be selected via the control device, for. As a fast movement in empty operation for maintenance or cleaning, as well as for rapid horizontalization in the emergency situation of resuscitation and a slow movement for safe and comfortable movement of the bed-patient.

For this purpose, it is also preferred that the adjusting mechanism has at least one drive, in particular a pneumatic, hydraulic and / or preferably electro-mechanical drive, for moving the receiving device relative to the standing device. In particular, an electromechanical drive ensures a well-regulated movement to transfer the bed from a with respect to its longitudinal sides horizontal in an inclined position, which can be advantageously adapted to the particular needs of the bed vain patient. In a further preferred embodiment according to the invention load and / or steering rollers for moving the device in any direction parallel to the ground and supporting elements for steadily supporting the device on the ground are provided on the stand device. Alternatively, according to the invention, the standing device preferably has fastening means which enable the device to be fastened to a floor and / or wall section. Load and / or castors on the stand device advantageously allow a mobile embodiment of the device, which flexibly replace several beds with their own verticalization mechanism and thus can improve the utilization of resources. For safety reasons support elements are then provided in the mobile embodiment of the invention, which advantageously fix the device during operation on the ground and thus enable physiotherapeutic exercises of the patient in bed in an inclined, in particular vertical, position at a fixed state of the device. In the variant as a permanently installed device, the stand device preferably has fastening means, which in turn advantageously allow attachment of the device to a floor and / or wall section (this time substantially permanently). The permanently installed variant of the invention is particularly suitable for the medium and long-term therapy of a bed-patient. Thus, any nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care room can be equipped with one or more permanently installed variants of the invention for the duration of the therapy and optimized for the specific needs of the respective patient.

In addition, it has been proven that the device has a rehabilitation mechanism for interacting with a bedridden patient. least comprising a support plate, a foot module and / or a knee module. It is known that bed-bedridden patients, in particular intensive care patients, benefit greatly from physiotherapeutic measures, which, however, are labor-intensive and time-consuming. If, in a preferred embodiment, the device has such a rehabilitation mechanism, early mobilization of intensive care patients with simultaneous relief of the nursing staff can advantageously be made possible in the bed.

Physiotherapeutic training under at least part of the weight of one's own body weight can advantageously prevent muscular atrophy and / or promote muscle building in bedridden patients. It is also known that physical stimuli can also have an advantageous effect on the cognitive abilities of coma patients in particular. However, in order to have a positive effect on the recovery process, the actual physical strain on a patient should be well adjusted or dosed in a patient-specific manner.

For this purpose, in one embodiment of the invention has proven that the support plate and / or arranged on this foot module are operatively connected to the feet and / or the soles of a bedridden patient brought to bed, wherein the support plate preferably with respect to the longitudinal sides of the bed can be inserted or can be designed to be movable. In addition, it has proven in one embodiment that the rehabilitation mechanism has at least one horizontal displacement means, in particular at least one rail or a spindle drive, for moving the support plate. In addition, it is preferred that the rehabilitation mechanism comprises at least one weight sensor and / or a motor for ensuring a controlled movement of the support plate. When transferring a bed from a longitudinally horizontal to an inclined position, the downhill force on a bed-type bed-related patient increases as the angle of inclination increases. at foot-contact with a rehabilitation mechanism, in particular with a support plate, thus increases the load of the musculoskeletal system of the patient by the weight with increasing angle of inclination. A controlled by a weight sensor and, for example, at least one, preferably two arranged on the longitudinal sides of the bed, guided horizontal rail movement of the support plate, for example manually or by means of a motor, on the one hand can advantageously control the movement of the support plate with respect to the patient and on the other hand , at least in part, advantageously enable a dosage of the weight force actually acting on the musculoskeletal system of the patient.

In this case, an embodiment is preferred in which the device has at least one interface for connecting the rehabilitation mechanism to the control device and / or in which preferably the control device for controlling the interaction of rehabilitation mechanism and adjustment mechanism, with the weight sensor and / or with the motor, preferably with both, is operatively connected. This has the advantage that both the rehabilitation mechanism and the adjusting mechanism can be controlled via the control device by means of the control device and all control parameters (desired values) can be adjusted with current actual values of the sensor for detecting the inclination angle and / or the weight sensor.

Finally, an embodiment of the invention has proved successful, in which the device comprises a means of transport, in particular a trolley, for the transport and / or operative connection of the rehabilitation mechanism with the bed. In particular, in the variant as a permanently installed device, the rehabilitation mechanism by means of a means of transport, especially a trolley, can be conveniently transported to the bed and / or away from the bed, which the nursing staff advantageously both the feeding of the bed in the device and the coupling facilitated by the rehabilitation mechanism on the bed. The present invention provides both a mobile and a stationary device for transferring a bed, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a position horizontal with respect to its longitudinal side into an inclined, preferably vertical position. In doing so, it advantageously decouples the verticalization process from the particular bed in question and, in this way, in particular through its multi-functionality, allows great flexibility for the nursing staff in the everyday care of a nursing and / or medical institution and thus safe and comfortable therapy for a bed-and-bed patient. The device according to the invention is suitable both for new installation and for retrofitting the inventory of medical and / or care facilities and advantageously saves the otherwise required investment in beds with their own verticalization mechanism. In particular, due to the flexibility of the invention, whether designed as mobile as a stationary device, a smaller number of devices according to the present invention are required over an otherwise required number of beds to be acquired with their own verticalization mechanism, which saves additional costs.

Further advantages and embodiments will be described below with reference to preferred embodiments, as well as in conjunction with the drawings.

In the following description of preferred embodiments of the present invention, like reference characters designate like or similar components. Fig. 1 shows a mobile embodiment of a device 1 for transferring a bed 10 (not shown here), in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a horizontal with respect to its longitudinal sides 12 in an inclined position, with a Rehabilitationsmechansimus 30th with foot 40 and knee module 50 at an inclination angle α between a receiving device 2 and a standing device 3 of 0 ° <α <90 ° in a perspective side view. The illustrated device 1 according to the invention comprises a receiving device 2 for receiving the bed 10, and a standing device 3 to ensure a stable state of the device 1, wherein according to the invention preferably on the stand device 3 load 301 and / or castors 302 for moving the device 1 in any direction parallel to the ground and support members 303 for steadily supporting the device 1 on the ground, in particular during the implementation of a movement therapy or physiotherapeutic exercises, are provided. The receiving device 2 and the Standeinrich- device 3 are also according to the invention via at least one adjusting mechanism 70 operatively connected to each other, wherein the adjusting mechanism 70 may tilt the receiving device 2 relative to the standing device 3. According to the invention, the adjusting mechanism 70 further comprises at least one sensor 71 for detecting the inclination angle α and / or the inclination speed between the receiving device 2 and the standing device 3. In addition, the adjusting mechanism 70 preferably has at least one drive 72, in particular a pneumatic, hydraulic and / or or preferably electromechanical drive 72, for moving the receiving device 2 relative to the standing device 3. It has been proven that at least one control device 5 for interaction with the adjusting mechanism 70, in particular for setting control parameters, in particular the inclination angle α between the receiving device 2 and the standing device 3 and / or the inclination speed is provided. In Fig. 2, the device 1 of Fig. 1 at an angle of inclination α of α = 0 °, and a bed 10, here exemplified a standard hospital bed, shown when approaching the device 1 to the bed 10. It can be seen that the receiving device 2 and / or the standing device 3, preferably as shown here both, at least partially along both longitudinal sides 12 of the bed 10, preferably substantially U-shaped, may be formed, which is advantageous a driving up and receiving the bed 10 allows over the foot. In particular, the foot-side transverse side boundary 15 of the bed 10, shown in FIG. 2, can be removed before the device 1 is approached so as not to obstruct the rehabilitation mechanism 30 of the device 1. Approaching the bed 10 can advantageously be made possible by the load 301 and castors 302 provided on the standing device 3, while any support elements 303 (see FIG. 3) for stably supporting the device 1 on the ground in a position without ground contact the standing device 3 are arranged.

FIG. 3 then shows a bed-conditioned patient 90 stabilized by means of a stabilizing mechanism 80 on a mattress 20 in the bed 10 when the device 1 is approached at an inclination angle α of α = 0 °. Shown is the situation immediately before the start of therapy, so before the start of the transfer of the bed 10 from a longitudinal sides 12 with respect to its horizontal in an inclined position. As can be seen, the support elements 303 are extended and can touch the ground to steadily support the device 1 on the ground. The bed 10 may preferably be received by the receiving device 2, preferably completely, by means of fixing blocks 201, which in particular interact with the bed frame 11. The bedridden patient 90 is supported by means of a stabilizing mechanism 80, here for example by means of a weight release means 81 fastened via a holder 202 to the head-side lateral boundary 15 of the bed 10 and is already in operative connection with a foot module 40 of a rehabilitation mechanism via the soles 95 of his feet 94 30. Alternatively, the stabilizing mechanism 80 can also be formed by at least one, preferably by a plurality, transversely extending holding straps (not shown here) for holding and / or stabilizing the patient 90. It can also be seen in FIG. 3 that the operative connection between the feet 94 and / or the soles 95 of the bedridden patient 90 and the support plate 32 and / or a foot module 40 arranged thereon, preferably by the method of the support plate 32 with respect to the longitudinal sides 12 of the bed 10 can be made. For this purpose, the rehabilitation mechanism 30 preferably has at least one horizontal displacement means, in particular at least one or preferably as shown, two guide rails 45 for moving the support plate 32. Alternatively, the support plate 32 can also be moved in particular via a spindle drive arranged on the support plate 32 with respect to the longitudinal sides 12 of the bed 10. The movement of the support plate 32 can on the one hand be realized manually and / or by a motor 46 preferably arranged on the rehabilitation mechanism 30, wherein it has also proved to be successful that the rehabilitation mechanism 30 comprises a weight sensor 44 to ensure a controlled movement of the support plate 32. In the mobile embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the device 1 according to the invention preferably further has at least one interface 203 (not shown here) for connecting the rehabilitation mechanism 30 to the control device 5, which can provide a permanent connection, in particular in the mobile embodiment. Thus, in a preferred embodiment, the controller 5 for controlling the interaction of the rehabilitation mechanism 30 and the adjustment mechanism 70 is operatively connected to the weight sensor 44 and / or the motor 46, preferably both.

Fig. 4 shows the device 1 of Fig. 1 with bed 10 now at an inclination angle α of 0 ° <α <90 ° in a perspective side view. In contrast to FIG. 3, here is the support plate 32 together with Rehabilitationsmechansimus 30 in the with respect to the patient 90 (not shown here) next position. The method of the support plate 32 is effected in particular by means of two guide rails 45 and, in the case shown here, can enable the therapy of patients 90 of comparatively small body size. In addition, in this way the rehabilitation mechanism 30 can advantageously be moved up to the patient 90, which prevents the patient from transferring a bed 10 from a horizontal position to an inclined position (0 ° <α <90 °) with respect to its longitudinal sides 12 Patient 90 slips towards the foot end. In this position with an inclination angle α of 0 ° <α <90 ° between the receiving device 2 and the Standeinrich- device 3, in which the bed 10 is fully absorbed and with none of its legs 16 touches the ground, acts on the bedridden patient 90th at least part of the weight of his own body weight. Such an inclined position can advantageously increase the effectiveness of a physiotherapeutic training by means in particular of the rehabilitation mechanism with a foot module 40 and / or a knee module 50, as already disclosed in the earlier patent of the applicant DE 10 2015 1 17 596 B3. With regard to the functioning of a rehabilitation mechanism 30, in particular a support plate 32, a foot module 40 and / or a knee module 50, reference is made in full to the cited patent DE 10 2015 117 596 B3.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a further embodiment of the device 1, in which the rehabilitation mechanism 30 is designed as a support plate 32 without foot 40 and knee model 50, with the bed 10 held as in FIG. 3 at an angle of inclination α of α = 0 ° (FIG. 5), as well as at an inclination angle α of 0 ° <α <90 °, in particular, as can be seen here, at an inclination angle 45 ° <α <90 ° (FIG. 6). In this embodiment, the bed-bedridden patient 90, supported and / or stabilized by the stabilization mechanism 80 formed here as a weight-relieving means 81, may be under load from at least a portion of the weight of his own body weight on the support plate 32 and in particular stand alone or assisted by nursing staff work out. 7 shows by way of example the permanently installed part of a stationary embodiment of the device 1 for transferring a bed 10, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a horizontal position with respect to its longitudinal sides 12 to an inclined position at an angle of inclination α of α = 0 ° in a perspective side view. In contrast to the mobile embodiment, shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 6, the standing device 3 in the stationary variant of the invention has fastening means 304, which enable attachment of the device 1 to a floor and / or wall section. In particular screws for mechanical fastening and / or a counterweight arranged on the standing device 3 for lowering the center of gravity and increasing the dead weight of the device 1 can be provided as attachment means 304. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, moreover, the holder 202 for the weight-relieving means 81 is arranged, for example, on the receiving device 2. FIG. 7 also shows the interface 203 for connecting the rehabilitation mechanism 30 to the control device 5, which may preferably be detachable in the stationary embodiment of the invention. In contrast to the mobile embodiment of the device 1, the rehabilitation mechanism 30 is furthermore preferably designed separately and is preferably transported to the bed 10 after retraction of the bed 10 into the permanently installed part of the device 1 by means of a transport means 4 and then to it coupled.

Fig. 8 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention according to the invention with the fixed part of a stationary embodiment of the device 1 of Fig. 7 with 10 held bed, and a transport 4, here a trolley, along with transported rehabilitation mechanism 30 with support plate 32, foot 40 and Knee module 50 before coupling to the bed 10. 9 shows an enlarged view of the transport means 4 designed as a trolley 4 from FIG. 8 together with the rehabilitation mechanism 30 transported with the support plate 32, foot 40 and knee module 50. As illustrated, the trolley has rollers 401 for locomotion, as well as at least one vertical rail 402 Realization of a vertical movement of Rehabihtationsmechansimus 30 on.

10 shows a side view of a stationary embodiment of the device 1 with the bed 10 held and the rehabilitation mechanism 30 approached before the rehabilitation mechanism 30 is connected to the control device 5 via at least one interface 203. It can be seen that the rehabilitation mechanism 30 is still at the transport means 4 is connected and is in a higher vertical position on the vertical rail 402 of the transport 4. Fig. 11 then shows a bedridden patient 90 stabilized by a stabilizing mechanism 80 on a mattress 20 in the bed 10 of Fig. 10 held by a stationary embodiment of the apparatus 1 after connection of the rehabilitation mechanism 30 to the apparatus 1 and removal of the means of transport 4 at an inclination angle α of α = 0 °. The rehabilitation mechanism 30 is now lowered and connected to the control device 5 via the interface 203. As in FIG. 3, the patient 90 is already in operative connection with a foot module 40 of a rehabilitation mechanism 30 via the soles 95 of his feet 94 and may be analogous after setting an inclination angle α with 0 ° <α <90 °, as shown in FIG be treated to Fig. 4.

Finally, FIGS. 13 and 14 show an embodiment of the device 1 from FIG. 11, in which the rehabilitation mechanism 30 is designed as a support plate 32 without foot 40 and knee model 50, with the bed 10 held at an angle of inclination α of α = 0 ° (FIG. Fig. 13), and at an inclination angle α of 0 ° <α <90 °, in particular, as can be seen here, at an inclination angle 45 ° <α <90 ° (Fig. 14). The present invention provides both a mobile and a stationary device 1 for transferring a bed 10, in particular a nursing, hospital, hospital or intensive care bed, from a position horizontal with respect to its longitudinal side 12 into an inclined, preferably vertical position. In doing so, it advantageously decouples the verticalization process from the bed 10 present in each case and, in this way, in particular through its multifunctionality, allows a great flexibility for the nursing staff in the everyday care of a nursing and / or medical institution and thus a safe and comfortable therapy for a bedridden patient 90.

The device 1 according to the invention is suitable both for new installation and for retrofitting the inventory of medical and / or care facilities and advantageously saves the otherwise required investments in beds with their own verticalization mechanism 70. In particular, due to the flexibility of the invention, whether mobile or stationary, 1, fewer devices 1 according to the present invention are required over an otherwise required number of beds 10 to be purchased with their own verticalization mechanism 70, which saves additional costs.
