Abstract

The lifting arm comprises a tubular hydraulic actuator (1) composed of a cylindrical tube (3) which exerts a traction on flexible tubular connections (6) interposed between the actuator and an application point (7). These connections enable hydraulic control at a distance from the actuator. The actuator comprises a piston (2), sliding in the cylindrical tube, having a hollow rod (17) at the end of which is an inner guide (5) integral with a distributor (4) outside the driving tube of the flexible connections.

la figure 2 est une vue schématique du dispositif de la figure 1  Figure 2 is a schematic view of the device of Figure 1

représentant la position de départ.  representing the starting position.

Le mode de réalisation de l'actuateur 1 selon la présente invention est représenté à la figure 1. Ce dispositif comprend un piston 2 coulissant dans un tube 3 et un distributeur 4. Le guide 5, solidaire du distributeur extérieur 4, est destiné à exercer une traction sur les liens souples tubulaires 6 interposés entre  The embodiment of the actuator 1 according to the present invention is shown in Figure 1. This device comprises a piston 2 sliding in a tube 3 and a distributor 4. The guide 5, integral with the external distributor 4, is intended to exert traction on the flexible tubular links 6 interposed between

le guide 5 et la poignée de traction 7.  the guide 5 and the pull handle 7.

Les moyens de liaison 8 sont interposés entre le piston 2 et le point d'application de la poignée de traction 7 dans une direction qui provoque une pré tension des liens souples tubulaires 6 de manière à ce que dans la deuxième partie de la course d'actionnement du piston 2, la liaison à liens souples  The connecting means 8 are interposed between the piston 2 and the point of application of the traction handle 7 in a direction which causes a pre-tension of the flexible tubular links 6 so that in the second part of the stroke actuation of piston 2, the link with flexible links

tubulaires soit tendue.tubular is stretched.

L'actuateur 1 est constitué d'un tube 3 solidaire du mur et ou de la  The actuator 1 consists of a tube 3 secured to the wall and or to the

baignoire 9.bathtub 9.

Une première extrémité 10 et 11 des liens souples tubulaires 6 est fixée sur le distributeur 4 La seconde extrémité 11 des liens souples tubulaires 6 est également  A first end 10 and 11 of the flexible tubular links 6 is fixed to the distributor 4 The second end 11 of the flexible tubular links 6 is also

fixée sur le distributeur 4 en symétrie.  fixed on the distributor 4 in symmetry.

Les extrémités (10 bis et 1l bis) des liens souples tubulaires sont  The ends (10 bis and 11 bis) of the flexible tubular links are

raccordées à la poignée de commande 7 en 12 et 13 porteur du manchon 18.  connected to the control handle 7 at 12 and 13 carrying the sleeve 18.

Le déplacement du piston 2 est réalisé par la pression de l'alimentation en eau commandée par l'ouverture du robinet 14 de la baignoire et la fermeture de l'orifice 15 dûe à l'appui des mains sur le manchon 18. Le cheminement de l'eau sous pression alimentant le piston 2 utilise les moyens de liaison 8 fixés pour l'entraînement et l'écoulement hydraulique par la tige creuse 17 et la vis  The displacement of the piston 2 is achieved by the pressure of the water supply controlled by the opening of the tap 14 of the bathtub and the closing of the orifice 15 due to the support of the hands on the sleeve 18. The path of the pressurized water supplying the piston 2 uses the connecting means 8 fixed for the drive and the hydraulic flow by the hollow rod 17 and the screw

creuse 16 navigant au travers de la lumière 19.  hollow 16 navigating through light 19.

Afin de rendre l'actuateur compact et élégant, le guide 5 coulisse à  In order to make the actuator compact and elegant, guide 5 slides at

l'intérieur du tube 3.inside the tube 3.

Les liens souples tubulaires 6 sont des tubes souples résistants à la traction et à la pression, réalisés à partir de matières non agressives et de bel aspect. Le fonctionnement du dispositif selon la présente invention va maintenant  The flexible tubular links 6 are flexible tubes resistant to traction and pressure, produced from non-aggressive materials and of good appearance. The operation of the device according to the present invention will now

être expliqué en regard dela figure 2.  be explained with reference to figure 2.

- La figure 2 représente le baigneur assis dans la baignoire en position repos lorsqu'aucune traction n'est exercée sur le lien souple tubulaire 6, le  - Figure 2 shows the bather seated in the bath in the rest position when no traction is exerted on the flexible tubular link 6, the

piston 2 est à son point de départ en bas du tube.  piston 2 is at its starting point at the bottom of the tube.

Dans cet état, le lien souple est détendu. Lorsqu'on on veut faire fonctionner l'actuateur, l'utilisateur ouvre le robinet 14 et implique une légère force de traction sur la manchon 18 de la poignée 7, l'eau, sous pression, pénétrant ainsi dans le tube 3 soumet une force sur le piston 2 et les éléments de  In this state, the flexible link is relaxed. When we want to operate the actuator, the user opens the valve 14 and implies a slight tensile force on the sleeve 18 of the handle 7, the water, under pressure, thus penetrating into the tube 3 subjects a force on piston 2 and the elements of

liaison tirent la poignée 7.link pull handle 7.

- Par ailleurs, le piston 2 arrivant en fin de course haute découvre des lumières 20 de prise d'eau permettant l'alimentation du flexible 20 et le fonctionnement de la douchette de la baignoire 21 raccordée par le flexible 22  - In addition, the piston 2 arriving at the end of the upper stroke discovers water intake lights 20 allowing the supply of the hose 20 and the operation of the shower head of the bathtub 21 connected by the hose 22
