Abstract

Each cushion is made of a double layer of flexible, watertight material and each has an aperture at one side which can be connected to the main air supply in the surgery or clinic. One cushion is secured to the seat and the other is secured to the back of the chair. The cushions may be held in place by strips of hooked-pile fastening fabric. When the cushions are inflated they form semi-rigid supports which mould themselves about the patient's body. The cushions are also filled with small beads which, help to maintain the moulded shape.

Description

"SUPPORT ENVELOPPXNT, POUR SOUTENIR UN PATIENT PEITSÌT LES SOINS"
La présente invention concerne un support de tvpe nouveau, destiné
soutenir un patient pendant la durée des soins ches le dentiste, le kinésithérapeute, le masseur, le ohirurìen, le gynécologue, ou autres."ENVELOPPXNT SUPPORT, TO SUPPORT A PATIENT WITH LITTLE CARE"
The present invention relates to a new tvpe support, intended
support a patient during the care of the dentist, physiotherapist, masseur, ohirurìen, gynecologist, or others.

L'invention est également applicable à la puériculture et à la médecine vétérinaire.The invention is also applicable to childcare and veterinary medicine.

L'invention est notamment applicable dans tous les cas où on veut disposer rapidement d'un support rigide capable de maintenir un patient dans une position precise. Pour les dentistes, on sait par exemple qu'il est très difficile avec les fauteuils connus a effectuer rapidement un réglage permettant de maintenir chaque nouveau patient dans la meilleure position compte tenu du travail à effectuer et des difficultés d'éclai- rage dans la bouche du patient. Dans bien des cas, il est également nécessaire de modifier rapidement la position du patient au cours du travail, et l'invention a pour but de réaliser un support permettant ce changement rapide de position. The invention is particularly applicable in all cases where one wants to quickly have a rigid support capable of holding a patient in a precise position. For dentists, we know for example that it is very difficult with known chairs to quickly adjust to keep each new patient in the best position given the work to be done and lighting difficulties in the mouth of the patient. In many cases, it is also necessary to quickly modify the patient's position during work, and the invention aims to provide a support allowing this rapid change of position.

Un support suivant l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins une enveloppe souple et étanche contenant des billes, et munie d'un embout par l'intermédiaire duquel on peut effectuer une mise sous vide de l'espace intérieur. A support according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one flexible and sealed envelope containing balls, and provided with a nozzle by means of which it is possible to carry out a vacuuming of the interior space.

Suivant une caractéristique supplenentaire de l'invention, le support est constitue' par un fauteuil solidaire de deux enveloppes souples s'étendant respectivement sur le siege et sur le dossier, des canalisations d'aspiration reliées aux deux enveloppes souples étant inté- grées au fauteuil et étant reliées à un embout unique. According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the support is constituted by an armchair integral with two flexible envelopes extending respectively on the seat and on the backrest, suction pipes connected to the two flexible envelopes being integrated into the armchair and being connected to a single end piece.

Suivant une variante de l'invention, le support comprend d'une part une partie fixez et d'autre part au moins une enveloppe souple rapportée de façon amovible sur ladite partie fixe. According to a variant of the invention, the support comprises on the one hand a fix part and on the other hand at least one flexible envelope attached removably to said fixed part.

Suivant une caracteristique supplémentaire de l'invention, le support constitue un fauteuil de dentiste, les embouts des enveloppes souples étant reliés à la pompe à vide de l'installation de soins dentaires. According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the support constitutes a dentist's chair, the tips of the flexible envelopes being connected to the vacuum pump of the dental care installation.

Le dessin annexéS donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, permettra de mieux comprendre les earactéristiques de l'invention. The appended drawing given by way of nonlimiting example will allow a better understanding of the features of the invention.

Figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un support suivant l'in- vention, constituant un fauteuil de dentiste. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a support according to the invention, constituting a dentist's chair.

- Figure 2 est une vus latérale de ce support. - Figure 2 is a side view of this support.

- Figure 3 est une vue latérale éclatée de ce même support. - Figure 3 is an exploded side view of the same support.

- Figure 4 est une section partielle IV-IV (fig 2). - Figure 4 is a partial section IV-IV (fig 2).

- Figures 5 et 6 sont des vues en perspective illustrant le fonc tionnement du support. - Figures 5 and 6 are perspective views illustrating the operation of the support.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 et 2 un support suivant l'invention, ce support constituant un fauteuil de dentiste, et comprenant d'une part une ossature composée d'un siège 1, d'un dossier 2 et d'un repose-pieds 3, et d'autre part de deux enveloppes souples et étanches 4 et 5 s'étendant respectivement sur le siège 1 et sur le dossier 2. Chacune des deux enveloppes contient des billes 6 (fig 4), et est munie d'un embout 7 par l'intermédiaire duquel on peut effectuer une mise sous vide de l'espace intérieur de l'enveloppe. L'embout 7 est ainsi relié à la pompe à vide de l'installation de soins dentaires par l'intermédiaire d'une canalisation 8. There is shown in Figures 1 and 2 a support according to the invention, this support constituting a dentist's chair, and comprising on the one hand a frame composed of a seat 1, a backrest 2 and a rest feet 3, and on the other hand two flexible and waterproof envelopes 4 and 5 extending respectively on the seat 1 and on the backrest 2. Each of the two envelopes contains balls 6 (fig 4), and is provided with a end piece 7 by means of which the interior space of the envelope can be evacuated. The nozzle 7 is thus connected to the vacuum pump of the dental care installation by means of a pipe 8.

Les enveloppes 4 et 5 peuvent Autre fixées à demeure sur le fauteuil. Elles peuvent ébaleme b -êtte'fixées sur ce fauteuil par l'inter- médiaire de bandes d'accrochage 9 wu 10 (fig 3) solidaires d'une part du fauteuil et d'autre part des enveloppes. On sait que de telles bandes portent une multitude de brins semi-rigides en matière plastique se terminant soit par une boucle, soit par un crochet. Envelopes 4 and 5 can Other permanently fixed to the chair. They can also be fixed on this chair by means of fastening strips 9 wu 10 (fig 3) secured on the one hand to the chair and on the other to the envelopes. We know that such bands carry a multitude of semi-rigid plastic strands ending either in a loop or in a hook.

On note que cette disposition permet d'équiper après coup tout fauteuil existant, par simple raccordement des embouts d'aspiration sur la pompe à vide dont est pourvue chaque installation de soins dentaires. It should be noted that this arrangement allows retrofitting any existing chair, by simply connecting the suction nozzles to the vacuum pump with which each dental care installation is provided.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant
Lorsque le patient s'installe dans le fauteuil, le vide n'est pas encore fait à l'intérieur des enveloppes, qui forment alors chacune un coussin à l'intérieur duquel les billes se déplacent plus ou moins librement. Ainsi, chaque enveloppe prend la forme du corps du patient. Pour mieux "mouler" le sujet, on tapote légèrement chaque enveloppe sur les côtés, suivant les flèches 11 (fig 5). Tout en tapotant, on fait alors le vide dans les enveloppes, qui se trouvent plaquées contre les billes rigides qu'elles contiennent. Lorsque le vide est suffisamment poussé, chaque enveloppe constitue un bloc rigide moulé autour du patient (fig 6).The operation is as follows
When the patient settles in the chair, the vacuum is not yet created inside the envelopes, which then each form a cushion inside which the beads move more or less freely. Thus, each envelope takes the shape of the patient's body. To better "mold" the subject, lightly tap each envelope on the sides, following the arrows 11 (fig 5). While tapping, there is then a vacuum in the envelopes, which are pressed against the rigid balls they contain. When the vacuum is sufficiently high, each envelope constitutes a rigid block molded around the patient (fig 6).

Ainsi, la position de travail étant définie par le dentiste en fonction de l'acte opératoire à accomplir, et de la dent à soigner, on obtient les résultats suivants
- Le patient ne peut pas modifier sa position, notamment il ne peut pas sortir du champ éclairé, ni latéralement, ni verticalement.Thus, the working position being defined by the dentist according to the operative act to be performed, and the tooth to be treated, the following results are obtained
- The patient cannot modify his position, in particular he cannot leave the lit field, neither laterally, nor vertically.

- Le patient peut s'asseoir librement pour se rincer, tousser, cracher, etc..., mais lorsqu'il s'installe à nouveau, il revient obliga toirement à la position précédemment définie. - The patient can sit freely to rinse, cough, spit, etc ..., but when he settles down again, he obligatorily returns to the previously defined position.

On peut modifier rapidement la position du patient en cours de soins
- Soit en faisant basculer le dossier par rapport au siè,e. You can quickly change the patient's position during treatment
- Either by tilting the backrest relative to the seat, e.

- Soit en laissant rentrer de l'air dans les enveloppes le temps de définir une nouvelle empreinte, pour faire à nouveau le vide immédia- tement apyres, ce qui est extrêrement simple et rapide. - Either by letting air enter the envelopes long enough to define a new imprint, to make the vacuum immediately clear again, which is extremely simple and quick.

Bien que l'exemple décrit ci-dessus concerne les soins dentaires, l'invention n'est nullement limitée à ce domaine, qui ne constitue que l'un des domaines d'application de l'invention. Although the example described above relates to dental care, the invention is in no way limited to this field, which constitutes only one of the fields of application of the invention.

L'invention est éO~alement applicable aux domaines suivants kinésithérapie, petites interventions de chirurgie, nécolobie, médecine vétérinaire, puériculture, et autres. Dans le cas de la puériculture, on peut notamment réaliser une table à langer, ou un plateau de bascule pèse-bébé. The invention is also applicable to the following fields physiotherapy, small surgical interventions, necolobia, veterinary medicine, childcare, and others. In the case of childcare, it is possible in particular to make a changing table, or a weighing scale platform.

Ce qui précède concerne les domaines médical et p ra-médical. Bien entendu, on peut aussi utiliser l'invention dans d'autres domaines de l'industrie, de la vie courante, ou des loisirs, etc ... chaque fois qu'une ébauche de moulage d'un corps ou d'un objet est nécessaire de fa pon constante, modifiable à volonté, et pour un certain acte ou une certaine posture. Par exemple, un artisan ou un ouvrier peuvent poser sur l'enveloppe à billes un objet à façonner, qui s'imprime dans l'enveloppe; en mettant celle-ci sous vide, on la rend rigide à la forme de l'objet qui se trouve ainsi rigidement positionné pour d'éventuelles opérations d'usinage ou analogue.  The above concerns the medical and paramedical fields. Of course, it is also possible to use the invention in other fields of industry, everyday life, or leisure, etc. each time that a blank for molding a body or an object is necessary in a constant way, modifiable at will, and for a certain act or a certain posture. For example, a craftsman or a worker can place on the ball envelope an object to be shaped, which prints in the envelope; by putting it under vacuum, it is made rigid to the shape of the object which is thus rigidly positioned for possible machining operations or the like.
