Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un appareil pour la reeducation de la marche, ctest à dire, des appareils plus connus sous le nom de déambulateur. The present invention relates to a device for the rehabilitation of walking, that is to say, devices more known as the walker.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de réaliser un appareil permettant de suspendre le malade à rééduquer et dans lequel on peut aisément régler la force de suspension du patient et modifier celle-ci au fur et à mesure des progrès de la rééducation, le malade ayant un faible effort à fournir pour se maintenir en station verticale, et l'appareil rendant toute chute impossible. The object of the present invention is in particular to provide an apparatus for suspending the patient to be re-educated and in which the patient's suspension force can be easily adjusted and modified as the progress of the reeducation progresses, the patient having a small effort to provide to maintain vertical station, and the apparatus making any fall impossible.

L'appareil, selon l'invention, est du type comprenant un ensemble de support mobile pour le malade à reéduquer et est caractérise en ce qu'il comporte un harnais monté sur le support, et inséré entre ledit harnais et le support mobile, des moyens permettant de régler la force du soutien dudit malade à réeduquer.  The apparatus, according to the invention, is of the type comprising a mobile support assembly for the patient to be reeducated and is characterized in that it comprises a harness mounted on the support, and inserted between said harness and the mobile support, means for adjusting the strength of the support of said patient to reeducate.

De préférence, l'appareil est du type comportant un chassis monté sur des roues orientables, ledit appareil étant caractérise en ce qu'il comporte un bâti vertical, le harnais étant porté par un cadre articulé sur un axe horizontal, entre ledit cadre et le bâti vertical étant inseré, au moins, un vérin pneumatique relié à un réservoir convenable de fluide sous pression. Grâce à cette disposition, le malade est suspendu élastiquement, le piston de vérin pouvant coulisser à l'encontre de la pression d'air dans le réservoir. Preferably, the apparatus is of the type comprising a frame mounted on steerable wheels, said apparatus being characterized in that it comprises a vertical frame, the harness being carried by a frame articulated on a horizontal axis, between said frame and the vertical frame being inserted, at least, a pneumatic cylinder connected to a suitable reservoir of fluid under pressure. With this arrangement, the patient is resiliently suspended, the cylinder piston being slidable against the air pressure in the tank.

Suivant une caractéristique particulière, le reservoir de fluide sous pression est porté par le châssis et comporte un embout de remplissage, un manomètre et un robinet. According to a particular feature, the pressurized fluid reservoir is carried by the frame and comprises a filling nozzle, a pressure gauge and a valve.

On peut ainsi régler la pression dans le réservoir.It is thus possible to adjust the pressure in the tank.

Le bâti peut comporter des poignées pourvues d'organes de commande pour un frein. The frame may comprise handles provided with control members for a brake.

Suivant une caractéristique constructive, les poignées comportent, chacune, une poignée de frein mobile reliée par des câbles à des patins mobiles sous le châssis et destinés à porter contre le sol.  According to a constructive feature, the handles each comprise a movable brake handle connected by cables to sliding pads under the frame and intended to bear against the ground.

Suivant encore une caractéristique constructive, le châssis est constitué par une barre en U avec deux longerons et une traverse, le bâti s'étendant verticalement au voisinage de la traverse et comprenant deux montants reliés à leur ex trématé libre par une traverse, lesdits montants étant renfor cés par des contrefiches et supportant chacun une potence, ces dernières étant tournées du côté oppose a ltextremite libre des longerons, lesdites potences étant reliées par un axe sur lequel s'articule le cadre supportant le harnais, un vérin étant interposé entre chacun des montants du bâti et des côtés correspondants dudit cadre, le châssis supportant le réservoir d'air comprimé qui est relié par des conduites souples aux verins. According to another constructive feature, the frame is constituted by a U-shaped bar with two longitudinal members and a cross-member, the frame extending vertically in the vicinity of the cross-member and comprising two uprights connected to their free end with a cross-member, said posts being reinforced by struts and each supporting a bracket, the latter being turned on the opposite side opposite the free end of the side members, said brackets being connected by an axis on which articulates the frame supporting the harness, a jack being interposed between each of the uprights of the frame and corresponding sides of said frame, the frame supporting the compressed air reservoir which is connected by flexible pipes to the cylinders.

Suivant une variante de réalisation, l'ensemble support est constitué par un chariot mobile sur un rail destiné à être fixé à un plafond le chariot comportant un support pour un réservoir d'air comprimé relié à un vérin pneumatique porté par ledit chariot tandis que le harnais est monté à l'ex- trématé libre d'un levier monté basculant sur un axe horizontal contre l'action du vérin pneumatique. According to an alternative embodiment, the support assembly is constituted by a carriage movable on a rail intended to be fixed to a ceiling, the carriage comprising a support for a compressed air reservoir connected to a pneumatic jack carried by said carriage while the harness is mounted on the extremity free of a lever mounted tilting on a horizontal axis against the action of the pneumatic cylinder.

Enfin, le vérin pneumatique est supporté par une ch-ape articulée en un point intermédiaire de la longueur du chariot.  Finally, the pneumatic cylinder is supported by a ch-ape articulated at an intermediate point of the length of the carriage.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à des modes de réalisation particuliers, donnés à titre d'exemple seulement et représentés aux dessins annexés sur lesquels
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective schématique d'un appareil déambulateur selon l'invention ;
La figure 2 montre en perspective, un détail de I 'appareil de la figure 1.The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to particular embodiments, given by way of example only and represented in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a walker apparatus according to the invention;
Figure 2 shows in perspective, a detail of the apparatus of Figure 1.

La figure 3 montre en perspective, un appareil déambulateur selon une variante de réalisation. Figure 3 shows in perspective, a walker apparatus according to an alternative embodiment.

L'appareil représenté à la figure 1 comprend un châssis 1 en forme de U présentant deux longerons 2 et deux traverses 3, ledit châssis 1 étant supporté par quatre roulettes orientables 4 disposées au voisinage des extrémités des longerons. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 comprises a U-shaped frame 1 having two longitudinal members 2 and two crosspieces 3, said chassis 1 being supported by four orientable rollers 4 arranged in the vicinity of the ends of the longitudinal members.

Au voisinage des traverses 3 s'érige un bâti 5 comprenant deux montants verticaux 6 relies à leur extrémité libre par une traverse 7 et des contrefiches 8 s 'éten- dant depuis les extrémites des longerons 2 adjacentes aux traverses 3 jusqu'à un point intermédiaire de la longueur des montants 6. In the vicinity of the cross members 3 is a frame 5 comprising two vertical uprights 6 connected at their free end by a cross member 7 and struts 8 extending from the ends of the side members 2 adjacent to the cross members 3 to an intermediate point the length of the uprights 6.

Sur les montants verticaux 6 sont fixées des potences 10 formées chacune de deux barres 11 et 12 soudées ensemble par une extrémité pour former un V et dont les ex trémités libres sont soudées sur les montants 6 au voisinage de l'extrémité supérieure de ceux-ci et du côté des contrefiches 8. On the uprights 6 are fixed brackets 10 each formed of two bars 11 and 12 welded together by one end to form a V and whose ex free ends are welded to the uprights 6 in the vicinity of the upper end thereof and on the side of the struts 8.

Les potences 10 sont relies par un axe 14 sur lequel s'articule un cadre mobile 15 dont l'un des côtés 16 parallèle à l'axe 14 comporte des passants 17 qui sont traversés par des bretelles 18 d'un harnais 19 destiné à être fixe au corps du malade à rééduquer et représenté en détail à la figure 2. The brackets 10 are connected by an axis 14 on which a movable frame 15 is articulated, one of whose sides 16 parallel to the axis 14 has loops 17 which are traversed by straps 18 of a harness 19 intended to be fixed to the body of the patient to be reeducated and shown in detail in Figure 2.

Entre chaque cté,longitudinal 20 du cadre mobile 15 et chaque montant correspondant 6 est inséré un verin pneumatique à simple effet 21. La tige du piston 22 de chaque vérin 21 est reliee articulée sur le côté 20 correspondant tandis que 10 corps de chaque dit vérin 21 est articulé
sur le montant correspondant 6. Between each longitudinal side 20 of the movable frame 15 and each corresponding upright 6 is inserted a single acting pneumatic jack 21. The piston rod 22 of each cylinder 21 is connected articulated on the corresponding side 20 while 10 bodies of each said cylinder 21 is articulated
on the corresponding amount 6.

Il est prévu un reservoir d'air comprimé 25 fixé sur les traverses 3 et relié par des canalisations souples 26 aux vérins 21, ledit réservoir comprenant un manomètre 27, un robinet 28 pour permettre de le vider au moins en partie et un embout de remplissage 24. There is a compressed air reservoir 25 fixed on the crosspieces 3 and connected by flexible pipes 26 to the cylinders 21, said reservoir comprising a pressure gauge 27, a valve 28 to allow at least part of the emptying and a filling tip 24.

Les montants comportent des poignées 30 qui peuvent être fixées à des hauteurs différentes et qui comportent des poignées de frein 31 qui, lorsqu'elles sont presses commandent par un câble et une gaine 32, un patin 33 destiné à buter contre le sol pour immobiliser l'appareil. The uprights comprise handles 30 which can be fixed at different heights and which comprise brake handles 31 which, when pressed, control by a cable and a sheath 32, a pad 33 intended to abut against the ground to immobilize the lug. 'apparatus.

Le harnais 19 comprend, fixé aux bretelles 18, une ceinture 55 qui supporte une poche 56 percée de trous 57 pour le passage des jambes et qui constitue ainsi une sorte de slip dans les ouvertures duquel sont engagées les jambes du malade. The harness 19 comprises, attached to the straps 18, a belt 55 which supports a pocket 56 pierced with holes 57 for the passage of the legs and which thus constitutes a kind of slip in the openings of which are engaged the legs of the patient.

Les bretelles 18 sont reliées par des sangles 58 et 59 pour éviter qu'elles s 'écartent.  The straps 18 are connected by straps 58 and 59 to prevent them from moving apart.

Le malade à rééduquer est suspendu au harnais 19 et on règle la pression d'air comprimé dans le reservoir 25 en fonction du poids dudit malade et de la charge qui est admissible par ses membres inférieurs. Le malade peut, par conséquent, en toute sécurité, et suivant son traumatisme, pratiquer une rééducation suivie et progressive tant en marche pendulaire qu'en marche à quatre temps. On conçoit que le malade est ainsi suspendu élastiquement et que le piston du verin peut coulisser contre l'action de la pression maintenue dans le réservoir, celle-ci étant réglee en fonction du poids du malade et de la charge supportable par ses membres infe- rieurs. The patient to be rehabilitated is suspended from the harness 19 and the pressure of compressed air is regulated in the reservoir 25 according to the weight of the said patient and the load which is admissible by his lower limbs. The patient can, therefore, safely, and following his trauma, practice a continuous and progressive rehabilitation in both walking pendulum and four-stroke. It is conceivable that the patient is thus suspended elastically and that the piston of the jack can slide against the action of the pressure maintained in the reservoir, the latter being regulated according to the weight of the patient and the load bearable by its inferior limbs. laughing.

A la figure 3, on a représente une variante simplifiée de l'appareil selon l'invention. Dans cette réalisation, il est prévu un rail 35 en I suspendu au plafond et sur lequel roulent deux trains de galets 36 montés fous sur un chariot 37 comportant un support 38 sur lequel est fixé, par une sangle 39, un réservoir 40 d'air comprimé.  In Figure 3, there is shown a simplified variant of the apparatus according to the invention. In this embodiment, there is provided an I-beam 35 suspended from the ceiling and on which roll two roller trains 36 mounted idle on a carriage 37 having a support 38 on which is fixed, by a strap 39, a tank 40 of air compressed.

Sur le chariot 37 est articulée, sur un axe 42, 1 'une des extrémités d'un levier 43 dont l'extrémité libre porte un harnais 44. Sur le chariot 37, sur un axe 45, sont fixées deux branches d'une chape 46 dont l'âme 47 supporte un vérin 48 dont la tige du piston 49 est reliée au levier 43. On the carriage 37 is articulated, on an axis 42, 1 'one of the ends of a lever 43 whose free end carries a harness 44. On the carriage 37, on an axis 45, are fixed two branches of a clevis 46 whose core 47 supports a jack 48 whose piston rod 49 is connected to the lever 43.

Le vérin 48 est un vérin pneumatique et est relié par une conduite 50 au réservoir 40, qui comporte un manometre 51, un embout de remplissage 52 et un robinet de vidange 53. The jack 48 is a pneumatic cylinder and is connected by a pipe 50 to the tank 40, which comprises a manometer 51, a filling nozzle 52 and a drain valve 53.

Une telle disposition peut être montée dans tous les locaux, même si le plafond a une hauteur réduite. Such an arrangement can be mounted in all rooms, even if the ceiling has a reduced height.

Le malade est suspendu au harnais 44 et, comme dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1, en fonction de son poids et de la charge que ses membres inférieurs peuvent supporter, on règle la pression dans le réservoir 40, afin que le malade soit suspendu d'une manière convenable. The patient is suspended from the harness 44 and, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, according to its weight and the load that its lower limbs can support, the pressure is regulated in the reservoir 40 so that the patient is suspended in a proper manner.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits et représentés. On pourra y apporter de nombreuses modifications de détails sans sortir, pour cela, du cadre de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments that have just been described and shown. We can make many changes in details without departing, for that, the scope of the invention.
