Abstract

The colour digitisation of a patients foot makes use of a scanner to form an image of the foot. The image data is then reproduced or stored. The scanner (7) is housed on a box (1). The top of the box carries a thick transparent glass plate (3), which supports a weight up to 120 kg. The box has a suspended double bottom (4) permitting the scanner flexibility in illuminating the thick glass when the cover (8) of the scanner is in the open position. Ventilation slots (9) allow entry of cooling air to the scanner unit. A reflecting tissue is used to allow a single print to be taken, and a reflecting tissue with cut-outs for the feet improves the quality of the gathered image.

Description

La présente invention concerne un tIispositif permettant de numériser directement, en couleur, les empreintes plantaires d'un patient en charge par l'intermédiaire d'un scanner afin de stocker ces images sur un support magnétique ( disque-dur, disquette ), de pouvoir ainsi les comparer dans leur évolution et de les éditer sur papier, calque ou transparent. The present invention relates to a device making it possible to digitize directly, in color, the footprints of a patient in charge via a scanner in order to store these images on a magnetic support (hard disk, floppy disk), of power thus compare them in their evolution and edit them on paper, tracing or transparent.

L'invention concerne le domaine médical et para-médical. The invention relates to the medical and paramedical field.

Traditionnellement, les empreintes plantaires en charge sont exécutées avec un podographe de type baudruche: définition médiocre et monochrome. Traditionally, plantar footprints in charge are performed with a balloon-type podographer: mediocre and monochrome definition.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients:
I1 comporte en effet, selon une première caractéristique un boitier parallélipédique ouvert sur sa face horizontale superieure. Ce boitier présente une feuillure sur ses trois chants verticaux supérieurs, ceci afin d'accepter un panneau de verre épais et transparent, reposant sur les trois cotés. Un panneau rigide aux dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles de l'intérieur du boitier est suspendu par des ressorts. La profondeur du boitier et la compression des ressorts doivent permettre au scanner de dépasser légèrement afin que le panneau de verre affleure la face supérieure du scanner.The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks:
I1 in fact comprises, according to a first characteristic, a parallelepiped box open on its upper horizontal face. This case has a rabbet on its three upper vertical edges, this in order to accept a thick and transparent glass panel, resting on the three sides. A rigid panel with dimensions slightly smaller than those inside the box is suspended by springs. The depth of the case and the compression of the springs must allow the scanner to protrude slightly so that the glass panel is flush with the upper face of the scanner.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation - Le panneau de verre peut être éclairé tangentiellement pour obtenir une image baroscopique.  According to particular embodiments - The glass panel can be lit tangentially to obtain a baroscopic image.

- La longueur de ce panneau de verre permet de laisser libre l'articulation du couvercle du scanner.- The length of this glass panel allows the articulation of the scanner cover to be left free.

- Le boitier présente des évidements sur ses faces latérales.- The case has recesses on its side faces.

- La figure 7 représente les découpes du tissu réfléchissant.- Figure 7 shows the cutouts of the reflective fabric.

En référence aux figures 1,2,3, le dispositif comporte un boitier (1), ouvert sur sa face horizontale superieure. Ce boi- tier présente une feuillure (2) sur trois chants verticaux supérieurs des deux grandes faces latérales et de la petite face antérieure. Referring to Figures 1,2,3, the device comprises a housing (1), open on its upper horizontal face. This case has a rabbet (2) on three upper vertical edges of the two large lateral faces and the small anterior face.

Cette feuillure (2) a une profondeur égale à l'épaisseur du panneau de verre (3). Le panneau de verre (3) est découpé à la largeur intérieure du boitier (1) plus la largeur des feuillures (2). La longueur du verre (3) est déterminée par la long tueur du boitier (1) moins le passage de l'articulation (6) du scanner (7) et ce, afin de laisser le couvercle rabattable (8) du scanner (7) en position relevée . Selon la figure (4), le couvercle (8) est retenu dans cette position par les sangles élastiques (11). Le panneau de verre (3) transparent est supporté sur ses trois cotés par le boitier (1), l'un et l'autre doivent accepter une charge de 120 kgs sans rupture ni déformation.Selon la figure 5, la petite face latérale antérieure du boitier (1) présente une échancrure (12) supérieure, permettant la manipulation du verre (3) afin de rabattre le couvercle (8), et de pouvoir utiliser le scanner (7) classiquement.  This rebate (2) has a depth equal to the thickness of the glass panel (3). The glass panel (3) is cut to the interior width of the housing (1) plus the width of the rebates (2). The length of the glass (3) is determined by the long killer of the case (1) minus the passage of the articulation (6) of the scanner (7) in order to leave the hinged cover (8) of the scanner (7) in the raised position. According to Figure (4), the cover (8) is retained in this position by the elastic straps (11). The transparent glass panel (3) is supported on its three sides by the box (1), both must accept a load of 120 kgs without breaking or deformation. According to Figure 5, the small anterior side face of the case (1) has a notch (12) above, allowing the manipulation of the glass (3) in order to fold the cover (8), and to be able to use the scanner (7) conventionally.

Selon les figures 2 et 3 , un panneau rigide.(4) ( double-fond) aux dimensions légèrement inférieures à celles intérieures du boitier (1) est soutenu par des ressorts (5). La profondeur du boitier (i) , la hauteur du scanner (7) et la longueur des ressorts (5)-en charge sont calculés afin que la face inférieure du panneau de verre (3) affleure le dessus du scanner (7), couvercle relevé (8).According to Figures 2 and 3, a rigid panel. (4) (double bottom) with dimensions slightly smaller than those inside the housing (1) is supported by springs (5). The depth of the case (i), the height of the scanner (7) and the length of the springs (5) - under load are calculated so that the underside of the glass panel (3) is flush with the top of the scanner (7), cover statement (8).

Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure (6), un éclairage ta gentiel (13) permet d'éclairer le verre (3) qui est maintenu latéralement par des butées (17). Dans ce cas, seule la feuillure (2) de la petite face latérale antérieure subsiste.In the embodiment of Figure (6), a tential lighting (13) allows to illuminate the glass (3) which is held laterally by stops (17). In this case, only the rebate (2) of the small anterior lateral face remains.

Selon la figure (4), des évidements (10) dans le boitier (1), permettent le passage des raccordements du scanner.According to Figure (4), recesses (10) in the housing (1), allow the passage of the scanner connections.

Selon la figure t des ouîes (9) sur les faces latérales permet tent l'aération.According to FIG. T vents (9) on the lateral faces allow ventilation.

Selon les configurations des scanners, d'autres évidements peuvent autre pratiqués.Depending on the configurations of the scanners, other recesses may be made.

Selon la figure (7), le tissu réfléchissant (14) est découpé pour laisser le passage (15) de la cheville. La découpe est refermée par un dispositif auto-grippant (16).According to Figure (7), the reflective fabric (14) is cut to leave the passage (15) of the ankle. The cutout is closed by a self-gripping device (16).

Les dimensions intérieures du boitier : - Largeur légèrement superieure au scanner. The internal dimensions of the case: - Width slightly greater than the scanner.

- Longueur plus importante que le scanner afin de permettre sa manipulation.- Longer length than the scanner to allow its manipulation.

- Hauteur variable.- Variable height.
