Abstract
Description
Dispositif de transfert d'un siège de fauteuil roulant et d'une personne handicapee dans ou hors dvun véhicule.Device for transferring a wheelchair seat and a disabled person in or out of a vehicle.
L'irsvention concerne un dispositif de transfert d'un siege de fauteuil roulant et d'une personne handicapée dans ou hors d'un véhicule, qui comprend un plateau support de siège, fixé au plancher du véhicule, un moyen de commande d'élévation et d'abaissement du plateau support et un bras de transfert du siège monté a rotation autour d'un axe solidaire dudit plateau, vers un chariot de fauteuil roulant. The invention relates to a device for transferring a wheelchair seat and a disabled person in or out of a vehicle, which comprises a seat support plate, fixed to the vehicle floor, an elevation control means. and lowering the support plate and a seat transfer arm rotatably mounted about an axis integral with said plate, to a wheelchair cart.
Selon la demande de brevet principal 13.12,072,l'axe de rotation du bras de transfert est inclinable dans un plan vertical, entre ur.e position de repos dans le véhicule et une position dans laquelle s'opère le transfert du siège entre le chariot du fauteuil et le bras, ce dernier possèdant un moyen de verrouillage dans chacune de ses positions et un moyen de verrouillage du siège. According to main patent application 13.12,072, the axis of rotation of the transfer arm is tiltable in a vertical plane, between ur.e position of rest in the vehicle and a position in which the transfer of the seat takes place between the armchair cart and arm, the latter having a locking means in each of its positions and a seat locking means.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un nouveau moyen de verrouillage du siège sur le bras de transfert adapté aux personnes de grande taille dont on désire positionner la tête et les pieds sans risques de heurts avec la carrosserie du véhicule en cours de manipulation du dispositif. The invention relates more particularly to a new means for locking the seat on the transfer arm suitable for tall people whose head and feet are to be positioned without risk of collisions with the vehicle body during handling of the device.
L'invention concerne également une cinématique modifiee du dispositif de transfert selon laquelle L'axe de rotation du levier de prehension du siège passe sensiblement par l'axe de gravité d'une charge constituée par exemple par le siège et de son passager. The invention also relates to a modified kinematics of the transfer device according to which the axis of rotation of the seat gripping lever passes substantially through the axis of gravity of a load constituted for example by the seat and its passenger.
Conformément à l'inver.tion, les parties basses du sup- port du dossier et postérieure du support de l'a sise sont conformées à la surface portante d'une coquille de préhension dont le fond constitue la zone d'appui du siege et dont les parois laté- rales portent des logements d'organes de maintien de celui-ci, cette coquille étant solidarisée avec une partie articulée du bras de transfert. In accordance with the inversion, the lower parts of the back support and the posterior support of the seat conform to the bearing surface of a gripping shell, the bottom of which constitutes the seat support area and whose side walls carry housings for holding it, this shell being secured to an articulated part of the transfer arm.
Selon un mode de réalisation du dispositif la coquille est rapport sur une base inclinée vers le sol du bras du transfert dans le but de basculer vers l'arrière, l'ensemble de la charge en la rapprochant de l'axe de rotation du bras de transfert. According to one embodiment of the device, the shell is attached to a base inclined towards the ground of the transfer arm in order to tilt backwards, the whole of the load by bringing it closer to the axis of rotation of the arm of transfer.
Le dispositif ainsi réalisé permet d'équilibrer sensiblement la charge transportée et de supprimer les contraintes exercées par celle-ci sur les divers organes de maintien. Il présente en outre l'avantage d'assurer le bon centrage de la charge. The device thus produced makes it possible to substantially balance the load transported and to remove the stresses exerted by it on the various holding members. It also has the advantage of ensuring proper load centering.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront de la descriptionqui va suivre d'exemple de réalisation de l'invention en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique en perspective du dispositif.Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the description which follows of an exemplary embodiment of the invention with reference to the appended drawing in which
Figure 1 is a schematic perspective representation of the device.
La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du montage de la coquille de préhension. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the mounting of the gripping shell.
Ainsi que cela est représenté à la figure 1, le dispc- sitif de transfert est composé essentiellement par un plateau support 1 dont la face supérieure peut-etre munie d'un revete- ment antifriction. As shown in FIG. 1, the transfer device is essentially composed of a support plate 1, the upper face of which may be provided with an anti-friction coating.
Le plateau support 1 est fixé au plancher 2 du véhicule 3 en lieu et place du passager avant. Un moyen de transfert est constitué conformément l'invention par un bras 4 monté à rotation autour d'un axa (Z). L'axe (Z) est inclinable dans un plan vertical sous l'action d'un vérin 5. Le vérin 5 est solidaire par son corps, du montant latéral 6 du pavillon, tandis que la tige de traction est attelée à un ancrage 7 disposé sur le côté latéral du plateau support 1. Il y a lieu de noter que le vérin 5 peut tout aussi bien être remplacé par un moto-réducteur solidaire du plancher du véhicule, dont l'arbre de sortie commande par un système de transformation de mouvement (Ex : système vis-écrou) l'inclinaison de l'axe Z. The support plate 1 is fixed to the floor 2 of the vehicle 3 in place of the front passenger. A transfer means is constituted according to the invention by an arm 4 rotatably mounted around an axa (Z). The axis (Z) is tiltable in a vertical plane under the action of a jack 5. The jack 5 is integral by its body, with the lateral upright 6 of the roof, while the draw rod is coupled to an anchor 7 arranged on the lateral side of the support plate 1. It should be noted that the jack 5 can just as easily be replaced by a geared motor secured to the floor of the vehicle, the output shaft of which controls by a transformation system of movement (Ex: screw-nut system) the tilt of the Z axis.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, on pourra utiliser un vérin hydrauliqua à simple effet commandé à partir d'une source de pression (pompe manuelle, groupe moto-pompe, accumulateur de pression) au travers d'un distributeur à trois positions à commande manuella, le mouvement de levée pourra être néanmoins réalisé par un vérin à commande électrique ou mécanique. By way of nonlimiting example, a single-acting hydraulic cylinder can be used controlled from a pressure source (manual pump, motor-pump group, pressure accumulator) through a three-position control valve manual, the lifting movement can nevertheless be achieved by an electrically or mechanically actuated jack.
Sous l'action du vérin 5, le plateau support 1 peut être déplacé d'une position horizontale dans laquelle il repose sur le plancher (ou sur des supports anti-vibratoires) à une position inclinée dans laquelle le plateau et le plancher forment un angle dièdre. Under the action of the jack 5, the support plate 1 can be moved from a horizontal position in which it rests on the floor (or on anti-vibration supports) to an inclined position in which the plate and the floor form an angle dihedral.
Selon la figure 2, le moyen de verrouillage du siège "S" sur le bras de transfert 4 est constitué par une coquille 40 conformée à la partie basse du support du dossier (d) et à la partie posterieure du suppozt de l'assise (a). Le fond 41 de la coquille 40 constitue de la sorte la zone d'appui du siège tandis que ses parois latérales 42 portent deux logements 43, 43', longitudinalement décalés,d'organes de maintien du siège. A cet effet, chaque flanc du siège porte un ensemble de tétons de maintien 44, 44' longitudinalement décalés, susceptibles de s'engager dans les logements 43, 43' et d'y rester en une position verrouillée par exemple au moyen d'ergots de retenue basculants 45 montés à articulation sur les parois latérales 42 à proximité d'un logement 43 ainsi que cela est bien connu. According to FIG. 2, the means for locking the seat "S" on the transfer arm 4 is constituted by a shell 40 conforming to the lower part of the backrest support (d) and to the rear part of the seat support ( at). The bottom 41 of the shell 40 thus constitutes the seat support zone while its side walls 42 carry two housings 43, 43 ′, longitudinally offset, of seat holding members. For this purpose, each side of the seat carries a set of retaining pins 44, 44 'longitudinally offset, capable of engaging in the housings 43, 43' and staying there in a locked position for example by means of lugs tilting retaining device 45 articulated on the side walls 42 near a housing 43 as is well known.
Le teton postérieur 44, destiné à être verrouillé dans le logement correspondant 43, constitue égalementl'axe de rotation du siège lors du transfert de celui-ci sur le cadre du fauteuil roulant. The rear lug 44, intended to be locked in the corresponding housing 43, also constitutes the axis of rotation of the seat when it is transferred to the frame of the wheelchair.
Le téton anterieur 44' limite le basculement de la charge vers l'avant. The front stud 44 'limits the tilting of the load forward.
La position relative des tétons 44', 44 et des logements correspondants 43', 43 sur les parois latérales 42 assure le centrage correct du siège sur la coquille 40 lors de la mise en place du siège sur le levier 14' du bras 4. The relative position of the studs 44 ′, 44 and the corresponding housings 43 ′, 43 on the side walls 42 ensures the correct centering of the seat on the shell 40 during the positioning of the seat on the lever 14 ′ of the arm 4.
Dans le but d'obtenir une position confortable du siège dans le véhicule, sa position par rapport à la coquille 40 est lé gercement inclinée. A cet effet le plan des tétons antérieurs et postérieurs 44' - 44 et le plan des fonds de logement 43-43' forment lors de la mise en contact du siège avec la coquille de préhension 40 un angle dièdre () dont l'ouverture est dirigee vers le fond 41. De la sorte la position du siège est plus inclinée par rapport à la verticale selon qu'il se trouve ou non solidaire de la coquille 40. Le passage de l'une à l'autre de ces positions s'effectue auto matiquement lors des phases d'accostage ou de séparation de là coquille 40 avec le siège. Cette caractéristique peut être matérialisée en décalant verticalement soit les tétons 44,44' soit les fonds des gorges 43, 43'. In order to obtain a comfortable position for the seat in the vehicle, its position relative to the shell 40 is tilted. For this purpose, the plane of the front and rear studs 44 '- 44 and the plane of the housing bottoms 43-43' form, when the seat comes into contact with the gripping shell 40, a dihedral angle () whose opening is directed towards the bottom 41. In this way the position of the seat is more inclined with respect to the vertical depending on whether or not it is secured to the shell 40. The transition from one to the other of these positions s' performs automatically during the docking or separation phases of the shell 40 with the seat. This characteristic can be materialized by vertically shifting either the pins 44, 44 'or the bottoms of the grooves 43, 43'.
Dans le cas où le siège*S'n'est pas transporté, la coquille 40 reçoit avantageusement un panier ou bac à bagages dont la forme limite les heurts avec le mécanisme de transfert proprement dit. In the case where the seat * is not transported, the shell 40 advantageously receives a basket or baggage bin, the shape of which limits impacts with the transfer mechanism proper.
La coquille 40 est rendue solidaire du levier de préhension 14' et du braslconstitué ainsi que cela a étédatns le brevet prin cipal,d'un ensemble de deux leviers 14 - 14', disposés l'un au dessus de l'autre dans la position de repos du siège "S" dans le véhicule. Le levier de préhension 14' est monté à rotation autour de l'axe vertical Z' et porte une base 15 inclinée vers le sol sur laquelle est fixée le fond de la coquille 40. Le fond de la coquille est rapporté sur la base 15 au moyen de systèmes vis-écrou 16 ajustables dans le but d'eloigner ou de rapprocher la coquille 40 de l'axe de rotation Z' du levier de préhension et de compenser la flèche de l'ensemble du dispositif sous l'action du poids de la charge portée par le bras de préhension 4. The shell 40 is made integral with the gripping lever 14 ′ and the arm as constituted, as has been the main patent, with a set of two levers 14 - 14 ′, arranged one above the other in the position seat "S" in the vehicle. The gripping lever 14 'is rotatably mounted about the vertical axis Z' and carries a base 15 inclined towards the ground on which the bottom of the shell 40 is fixed. The bottom of the shell is attached to the base 15 at means of screw-nut systems 16 adjustable in order to move the shell 40 away from or closer to the axis of rotation Z ′ of the gripping lever and to compensate for the deflection of the entire device under the action of the weight of the load carried by the gripping arm 4.
On prévoit avantageusement une coquille 40 à parois la tépales 42 de longueurs différentes ou dissymetriques dans le but de faciliter l'accostage de la coquille sous le siège, notamment lorsque ce dernier doit etre transféré avec sa charge dTun chariot, dans un véhicule. It is advantageous to provide a shell 40 with walls the tepals 42 of different or asymmetrical lengths in order to facilitate docking of the shell under the seat, in particular when the latter must be transferred with its load from a carriage, in a vehicle.
