Description

Information point adaptable to disabled people in Wheelchair.

Object of the invention

The present invention aims at a point of information adaptable to wheelchair users who facilitates access to the disabled as it allows the wheelchair footrest insert for correct user positioning.

Due to its special configuration, the point of information is adaptable to users without disabilities, as well as users of smaller stature and disabled, always allowing a correct output of the printed data requested by the Username.

In addition, the information point adaptable to wheelchair disabled person presents a system of stable screen positioning for both users with physical handicaps as for those who do not have them.

Background of the invention

They are well known in the state of technical information points that allow displacement vertical of a touch screen for disabled access, Children, people of different heights.

However, the need is not taken into account that the disabled user may have to extract information printed information point.

Among these is the Spanish patent with  publication number ES2169004 referring to a point of ergonomic tourist-themed information that doesn't presents means to collect the printed information requested by the user.

In addition, in other information points that they have printing systems, this one is placed in the part top or bottom of the information point.

In the first case the access by part of a user with disabilities is not possible due to the high height at which is located the printer, while in the second of the cases it is not possible to access it due to reduced mobility that present since the printer is placed at your feet, and by both inaccessible to these types of people.

The information point of the present invention  presents accessible print media for all types of users both disabled and those who are not, also allowing stable positioning of the screen in two positions.

Description of the invention

The present invention relates to a point of wheelchair-accessible information that facilitates access to the disabled as it allows the wheelchair footrest insert for correct user positioning.

The information point has a chassis, within which a CPU is located (in English "central processing unit ") and a printer.

The chassis features two inclined columns with paths guides inside, so that a module formed through a screen and a keyboard you can move through them.

This module, which may also include others devices such as a mouse or speakers, presents two stable equilibrium positions.

A superior position for users without physical disability and a lower position for users with Physical disability or children.

To give these two positions of stable balance, the system has a set of springs of gas, which are compressed or expanded when the keyboard is raised or lowered by the user to adapt it to their height or condition.

On the front of the frame there is a door foldable by another gas spring to facilitate access to the CPU that rests inside an inclined section of the door.

In this way there is a space that allows the wheelchair footrest insert for correct disabled user positioning.

The swing door has a slot that is visible when the keyboard and screen are in the raised position, where the printing paper comes out.

When the keyboard and screen are lowered, that slot is hidden by the display module and keyboard, but is coincident with another slot in the display module and the keyboard between them, so that the paper is accessible for wheelchair users.

Description of the drawings

This descriptive report is complemented, with a set of drawings, illustrative of the preferred example and never limiting the invention.

Figure 1 shows the information point adaptable to wheelchair disabled people in position for a user without physical disability.

Figure 2 shows the information point adaptable to wheelchair disabled people in position for a disabled user in a wheelchair.

Figure 3 shows a side view of the point of information adapted to disabled people in a wheelchair in the that part of the frame housing has been removed and the printing device to be able to see in detail the rest of elements.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the foregoing, the The present invention relates to an information point adaptable to wheelchair disabled person presenting a rack (1) with two inclined columns (1.1) with guides (1.1.1) in their part inside.

Through these guides (1.1.1) slide a module (2) which in this preferred embodiment is formed by a screen (2.1) and a keyboard (2.2).

The module can be placed in two positions of stable equilibrium due to two upper gas springs (3), which they are compressed or expanded when the module (2) is raised or lowered by the user to adapt it to their height or condition.

These upper gas springs (3) are joined by joints at one end to the module (2) and by the other to the frame (1).

When module (2) is in position upper, the upper gas springs (3) are located expanded, while when the user drops the module (2) to adapt it to your height or condition, gas springs (3) Superiors are compressed.

On the front of the frame (1) there is a door (1.2) foldable by a lower gas spring (3) for facilitate access to a CPU (4) that rests inside a inclined section (1.2.1) of the door (1.2).

The inclined section (1.2.1) of the door (1.2) configure a space that allows the insertion of the footrests of the wheelchair for a correct positioning of a user disabled.

The swing door (1.2) presents on the front a lock (1.2.2) for access to the CPU (4) by a technical and a slot (1.2.3) that is visible when the module (2) it is in an elevated position, where the printing paper comes out from a printing device (5) controlled by the CPU (4).

When lowering the module (2), it hides the slot (1.2.3) of the swing door (1.2), with another slot (2.3) in the module (2), between the screen (2.1) and the keyboard (2.2) coinciding with the slot (1.2.3) of the swing door (1.2), of so that the paper is accessible to users in chair of wheels or shorter.

In the lower front part of the frame (1) there is a footrest (1.3) for users without disabilities physical.

They do not alter the essentiality of this invention variations in materials, shape, size and arrangement of component elements, described in a non-limiting manner, sufficient this one to proceed to its reproduction by an expert.
