Description

Sliding sheet - Glidlakan / 0 7 9 0 *

The invention relates to a sliding sheet which facilitates the treatment of bedridden patients with poor condition or mobility impairment, having a friction surface consisting of a material having a relatively high coefficient of friction and a sliding surface consisting of a material having a low coefficient of friction. Such a sliding sheet is known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,642. The sheet is intended to facilitate the transfer of a patient between the bed and the carriage, and for this purpose one surface of the sheet is formed as a friction surface and the opposite surface as a sliding surface. When set to a factor of two, the friction surfaces slide against each other and as the patient rests on the double sheet section, the patient can be easily moved by exploiting the sliding of the opposing sliding surfaces.

The present invention relates to a sliding sheet intended to facilitate the handling of bedridden patients with a disability or physical disability in their own bed, which sheet is permanently placed under the patient.

In order to achieve this object, the sliding sheet according to the invention is characterized in that the sheet to be placed in place in the bed has sections made of said two different materials so that the friction surface and the sliding surface are on the same side of the sheet in different areas.

Most suitably, said sub-areas are positioned so that when the Liu kulak chicken is placed in the bed, its sliding part is located below the center of the person while he is lying on the bed straight.

The material of the friction part can be, for example, an ordinary sheet fabric. The material of the sliding part can be a fabric with a low coefficient of friction, e.g. silk, plastic or a plastic coating.

The sliding part is connected to the friction part in a generally known manner, such as by sewing, gluing, laminating, heat-sealing, etc. If a plastic coating is used, it can be applied, for example, by spraying the friction material on the sliding part.

The object of the invention is to facilitate the treatment and treatment of patients with poor condition or physical disabilities in bed.

With the sliding part of the sheet having a low coefficient of friction under the patient's center of gravity, it is easier for him to turn the bed and get him up from the bed.

When the sliding sheet is placed in the bed on both sides of it on both sides of the sliding part, there is a friction part 5 -15 cm wide. This friction part prevents the patient from slipping out of bed. Utilizing the sliding part of the sheet to shift its center of gravity and the friction part to obtain a support grip with his hands makes it easier for the patient to turn in the bed or get up from the bed.

The sliding sheet according to the invention can be used to facilitate patient care, e.g. in the following places: Hospitals, old people's homes, care facilities for the disabled and patients with reduced mobility in home care.

In the following, the sliding sheet according to the invention and some of its structural solutions will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which: Fig. 1 shows a top view of a sliding sheet to be arranged transversely to the bed, consisting of three connected parts.

Figure 2 shows a side view of a sliding sheet to be placed transversely to the bed as an auxiliary sheet, consisting of a unitary piece of friction material with sliding parts fixed in the middle on both sides.

Figure 3 shows a side view of a sliding sheet the length of a normal sheet, which is placed longitudinally on the bed, and which consists of a unitary piece of friction material with sliding parts fixed in the middle on both sides.

Figure 4 shows a top view of the sliding sheet according to Figure 3.

Figure 5 shows a side view of a sliding sheet the length of a normal sheet, which is placed longitudinally on the bed and consists of a piece of friction material with a hole at the sliding parts and sliding parts attached to both sides of the hole.

Fig. 6 shows the sliding sheet according to Fig. 5 in a top view.

Figure 1 shows the structure of a sliding sheet which is arranged transversely to the bed as an auxiliary sheet, which consists of two parts 1 forming a friction part and a sliding part 2 fastened with seams 3 between them.

As the material of the friction part 1, for example, a fabric having a moderate coefficient of friction, preferably a sheet fabric, can be used.

The sliding part 2 is characterized in that it has a low coefficient of friction compared to the nightwear worn by the patient. As the material of the sliding part 2, e.g. fabric, preferably silk or plastic, can be used.

The fastening seams 3 are formed in some generally known manner, e.g. by sewing, gluing, laminating, hot-seaming, etc.

The dimension a of the sliding part 2 is determined by the width of the bed, so that when the friction parts 1 are turned to the bed under the replacement mattress, a friction part 1 5-15 cm wide remains on each side of the bed. The dimension b of the sliding part 2 is not critical 4 70790 but for practical reasons it should be at least 50 cm.

The sliding sheet is placed transversely to the bed so that the sliding part 2 is located below the center of the person while he is lying in the bed straight.

When the sliding part 2 of the sliding sheet with a low coefficient of friction is located below the center of gravity of the patient, his displacement and turning or displacement and turning are considerably easier compared to the case where a standard sheet is used in bed. The parts of the friction part 1 of the sliding sheet which remain on the bed on both sides thereof prevent the patient from falling out of the bed and from these he also gets a support grip with his hands. The parts of the friction part 1 of the sliding sheet which are turned under the replacement mattress hold the sliding sheet in place in the bed.

FIG.

The sliding part (s) 2 can be fastened to the friction material body 1 at all its edges by seams 3, examples of which are shown in the explanation of Fig. 1. The sliding part (s) 2 can also be fastened to the friction material body 1 in ways known for their entire abutment surfaces, such as, for example, gluing, laminating, hot-pressing, etc. Figure 2 shows only the sealing fastening.

For the rest, reference is made to the explanations in Figure 1.

Fig. 3 shows a side view and Fig. 4 a top view of the structure of a sliding sheet the length of a normal sheet, which is placed longitudinally on the bed, consisting of one friction material 1 70790 the sliding parts 2 are on both sides.

The dimension c of the sliding part 2 is determined by the width of the bed so that when the sliding sheet is placed in the bed on each side of the bed at the sliding part 2 there is a friction part 1 5-15 cra wide. The dimension d of the sliding part 2 is not critical, but for practical reasons it should be at least 50 cm.

For joining the friction material piece 1 and the sliding part 2 together, we refer to the explanations of Figs.

Fig. 5 shows a side view and Fig. 6 a top view of the structure of a sliding sheet the length of a normal sheet, which is placed longitudinally in the bed, consisting of one piece of friction material 1 with a hole at the sliding parts 2 smaller than the sliding parts 2. The sliding part 2 can be seamed on one or both sides of the friction material body 1. Figure 5 shows a case where the sliding parts 2 are on both sides.

The dimensioning of the sliding part 2 is determined in the same way as shown in the description of Fig. 3.

From the sealing of the sliding parts 2 to the friction material body 1, we refer to the description of Fig. 1.
