Definitions

• the present invention relates to the field of geriatric equipment, and more specifically the field of physical restraint equipment for people with degraded muscle tone or disoriented people with a risk of falling.
• a first set of solutions concerns pelvic restraint belts to immobilize the person in a lounge chair or wheelchair.
• Depressive states, regressive states, aggressiveness or stress states are sometimes observed, linked to this violation of the patient's dignity. These solutions also provoke a painful feeling of the care teams taking care of patients, including anxiety, frustration and feelings of guilt.
• US5123699 also proposes a portable and personalized patient support system which is intended to keep a person in a substantially vertical sitting position.
• the system includes a seat cushion, a back cushion and left and right side cushions. Each of the cushions is selected to conform to certain measured dimensions of the person.
• the cushions are attached to each other by means of interconnection devices.
• the assembled system can be used with most conventional chairs and seats, including wheelchairs. This solution provides steps for measuring certain patient dimensions, selecting appropriately sized cushions and securing the cushions together using the interconnecting devices.
• US2011 / 041251 which relates to a child support device for supporting a child in a supine position, comprising a base having a support surface extending between the side members on the upper part of the base.
• the support surface is defined by two parts:
• British patent GB2102283 is also known describing a support wedge for infants and children in young, especially for children with multiple disabilities and
• the invention relates, according to its most general meaning, to a physical restraint device for people with reduced mobility, characterized in that it consists of a cushion having, in the central front area, a through-housing of complementary section to a complementary support bar, said support bar being retractable and having a height of between 150 and 500 millimeters, and a section of between 50 and 150 millimeters.
• said holding bar has peripheral padding.
• said holding bar is surrounded by a synthetic foam.
• the device further comprises a tablet having a connecting means on the upper part of said holding bar.
• - It comprises a rigid plate inserted into said cushion extended by a tubular sleeve flush with the surface of said cushion and having a complementary section to the section of the lower end of said holding bar.
• the holding bar is extended at its upper part by a crossbar.
• the holding bar cooperates with a sleeve by a bayonet coupling.
• FIG. 1 represents a schematic sectional view of the device according to a first variant embodiment of the invention
• FIG. 2 represents a schematic sectional view of the device of a second variant embodiment of the invention
• FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the device of its invention -
• Figure 4 shows a schematic sectional view of the device of a third embodiment of the invention.
• the device is constituted by a cushion (1), for example a molded cushion for the seat of a wheelchair.
• It can be constituted by a viscoelastic gel with high crosslinking for preventing the phenomenon of punching with a high density HR foam envelope conferring flexibility and comfort of the patient.
• It contains a rigid plate, for example of wood, which is housed in the filling of the cushion (1), or possibly overmolded at the time of manufacture of the cushion (1) ⁇
• This plate (2) and the cushion (1) have in the median front area a bore to open into the area, when a person is sitting on the cushion, the pelvic area between the thighs.
• a tubular sleeve (3) is engaged in the bore of the plate (2) to extend perpendicular to the plate (2), and opening to the outer surface of the cushion (1).
• a fabric ring (4) closes the bore around the sleeve (3).
• This sleeve may be made of plastic or metal.
• a holding bar (5) can be engaged or withdrawn in this sleeve (3).
• the connection between the holding bar (5) and the sleeve (3) can for example be achieved by a bayonet coupling facilitating the establishment of the support bar (5), while avoiding the unexpected withdrawal by the person installed in the chair.
• the holding bar (5) is surrounded by a synthetic foam (6).
• This holding bar (5) secures the person installed in the chair and prevents slipping forward, or pivoting may unbalance and cause a fall.
• the height of the holding bar (5) is determined to exceed the height of the thighs of the person.
• the holding bar (5) is completed at its upper part by a shelf (7) which can be rotatable and / or translational.
• This tablet can serve as a support for resting objects or a book, and confer an additional function to the device object 1 of the invention.
• the cushion has means of connection with the chair to prevent it from sliding relative to the seat of the chair.
• This is for example a strap provided at the rear of the cushion, allowing the connection with the chair structure.
• FIG. 2 corresponds to an alternative embodiment wherein the holding bar (5) is extended at its upper part by a transverse bar (8).
• the assembly can be made by molding or welded connection of two tubular elements (5, 8), or by clipping on the upper end of the holding bar (5).
• the transverse bar (8) is also surrounded by a protective foam (9).
• This transverse bar (8) serves two functions: a) It ensures that the legs of the person installed in the chair are locked, so that a person who is agitated does not pass a leg over the support bar (5), in the absence of shelf b) it is used as a support for putting the hands and give a capacity to the person installed in the chair.
• the assembly formed by a cushion (1), a sleeve (5), a shelf (7) and a crossbar (8) snap is a kit for adapting the invention to different modes of use.
• FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment in which the connection between the rigid plate (2) and the sleeve (5) is provided by a ball joint (10) guided by two lateral flanges (11, 12).
