Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1> <Desc / Clms Page number 1>

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de type harnais pour lever des personnes handicapées ou à mobilité réduite dans le but de les transférer d'un lieu à un autre ou d'un meuble à un autre à l'aide d'un appareil de levage du type lève-personne ou rail aérien.  The present invention relates to a harness type device for lifting people with disabilities or reduced mobility in order to transfer them from one place to another or from one piece of furniture to another using a lifting device. type of lift or overhead rail.

Les dispositifs traditionnels fournis avec les appareils de levage, de type harnais, hamac ou sangles ne permettent pas le transfert des personnes en position debout.  The traditional devices supplied with lifting devices, such as harnesses, hammocks or straps do not allow people to be transferred in a standing position.

Les transferts de ou vers la position debout ne sont actuellement réalisables que par plusieurs opérateurs et il existe des risques de chutes des personnes handicapées et de blessures des opérateurs et personnels soignants lors des transferts de personnes lourdes.  Transfers from or to the standing position are currently only possible by several operators and there is a risk of falls by disabled people and injuries to operators and caregivers during transfers of heavy people.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cette lacune.  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this gap.

C'est un harnais constitué de deux sangles, une gauche et une à droite formant deux boucles adoptant la forme d'un y, dans lesquelles l'utilisateur passe respectivement sa cuisse droite et sa cuisse gauche.  It is a harness made up of two straps, a left and a right forming two loops adopting the shape of a y, in which the user passes respectively his right thigh and his left thigh.

La partie inférieure de chaque boucle ainsi formée est appelée cuissard et est fixée à l'endroit ou la sangle qui la constitue se croise elle même. The lower part of each loop thus formed is called shorts and is fixed to the place where the strap which constitutes it crosses itself.

Ces cuissards sont rembourrés avec de la mousse recouverte de tissu. These shorts are padded with foam covered with fabric.

Les deux extrémités de chacune des deux sangles, appelées sangles de suspension se prolongent au dessus de la tête de l'utilisateur et viennent se fixer à un appareil de levage en deux points distincts. Le harnais comporte donc quatre sangles de suspension : une antérieure droite, une antérieure gauche, une postérieure droite et une postérieure gauche.  The two ends of each of the two straps, called suspension straps, extend above the user's head and are fixed to a lifting device at two separate points. The harness therefore has four suspension straps: a right anterior, a left anterior, a right posterior and a left posterior.

Les deux extrémités de chaque sangle de suspension sont munies d'un système permettant le réglage de leur longueur et permettant ainsi de faire varier l'inclinaison du corps de l'utilisateur tant de gauche à droite que d'avant en arrière.  The two ends of each suspension strap are provided with a system allowing the adjustment of their length and thus making it possible to vary the inclination of the body of the user both from left to right and from front to back.

Le réglage de la longueur des sangles de suspension et le positionnement des cuissards le long des cuisses de l'utilisateur conditionnent la position du transfert. Le levage de l'utilisateur est ainsi possible dans toutes les positions et notament la position debout.  The adjustment of the length of the suspension straps and the positioning of the shorts along the user's thighs determine the position of the transfer. The lifting of the user is thus possible in all positions and in particular the standing position.

Une ceinture relie les deux sangles gauche et droite à proximité et un peu au-dessus du croisement de chacune d'elle avec elle même.  A belt connects the two left and right straps nearby and a little above the crossing of each of them with itself.

La figure 5 représente une variante de rembourrage de cuissard.  Figure 5 shows a variant of shorts padding.

La figure 6 représente un exemple de poche pour ranger les sangles.  Figure 6 shows an example of a pocket for storing the straps.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte deux sangles (s1 et s2), une gauche et une à droite formant deux boucles adoptant la forme d'un y, dans lesquelles l'utilisateur passe respectivement sa cuisse droite et sa cuisse gauche. La partie inférieure de chaque boucle ainsi formée est appelée cuissard (1) et est fixée à l'endroit ou la sangle qui la constitue se croise elle-même. Ces cuissards sont rembourrés avec de la mousse recouverte de tissu (7).  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises two straps (s1 and s2), a left and a right forming two loops adopting the shape of a y, in which the user passes respectively his right thigh and his left thigh. The lower part of each loop thus formed is called shorts (1) and is fixed at the place where the strap which constitutes it crosses itself. These shorts are padded with foam covered with fabric (7).

Les deux extrémités de chacune des deux sangles, appelées sangles de suspension (2) se prolongent au-dessus de la tête de l'utilisateur et viennent se fixer à un appareil de levage en deux points distincts. Le harnais comporte donc quatre sangles de suspension : deux antérieures (2a) et deux postérieures (2p).  The two ends of each of the two straps, called suspension straps (2) extend above the user's head and are fixed to a lifting device at two separate points. The harness therefore has four suspension straps: two anterior (2a) and two posterior (2p).

Le réglage de la longueur des sangles de suspension (2) et le positionnement des cuissards (1) le long des cuisses des utilisateurs conditionnent la position du transfert ; ainsi lorsque l'opérateur positionne les cuissards (1) près de l'aine de l'utilisateur et que les sangles de suspensions (2) sont de longueurs égales, le levage se fait en position debout (selon fig. 2) ; si l'opérateur positionne les cuissards (1) près des genoux et que les sangles de suspensions (2) sont de longueurs égales,  The adjustment of the length of the suspension straps (2) and the positioning of the shorts (1) along the users' thighs determine the position of the transfer; thus when the operator positions the shorts (1) close to the groin of the user and the suspension straps (2) are of equal length, the lifting is done in the standing position (according to fig. 2); if the operator positions the shorts (1) near the knees and the suspension straps (2) are of equal length,

<Desc/Clms Page number 3><Desc / Clms Page number 3>

le levage se fait en position assise (selon fig. 3) ; si l'opérateur positionne les cuissards (1) près des genoux et que les sangles de suspensions postérieures (2p) sont plus longues que les sangles de suspension antérieures (2a), le levage s'effectue en position couchée (selon fig. 4) :. Le jeu des réglages des sangles de suspension et du positionnement des cuissards permet toutes positions intermédiaires.  lifting is done in the seated position (according to fig. 3); if the operator positions the shorts (1) near the knees and the rear suspension straps (2p) are longer than the front suspension straps (2a), the lifting is carried out in the supine position (according to fig. 4) :. The game of adjustments of the suspension straps and the positioning of the shorts allows all intermediate positions.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : - les assemblages des différentes sangles entre elles peuvent s'effectuer à l'aide de coutures.  According to particular embodiments: - the assemblies of the different straps together can be carried out using seams.

- les cuissards peuvent être ouverts au moyen d'un boucle permettant en outre d'en régler la longueur.  - the shorts can be opened by means of a buckle which also allows the length to be adjusted.

- les rembourrages (7) de cuissards (1) prennent la forme d'une gouttière (selon fig. 5) ; suffisamment large pour ne pas comprimer les cuisses des utilisateurs et offrir un confort acceptable et ne pas entraver la circulation sanguine.  - the pads (7) of shorts (1) take the form of a gutter (according to fig. 5); wide enough not to compress users' thighs and offer acceptable comfort and not to impede blood circulation.

- les rembourrages (7) de cuissards (1) sont constitués d'une mousse synthétique suffisamment fine pour ne pas gêner l'utilisateur au repos et ne pas provoquer d'escarre. L'utilisateur peut porter le harnais sur lui et dans son fauteuil sans être gêné.  - the padding (7) of the shorts (1) consist of a synthetic foam which is fine enough not to hinder the user at rest and not to cause bedsores. The user can wear the harness on him and in his chair without being embarrassed.

- sur sa partie antérieure, la ceinture (3) est munie de poches (8) destinées à recevoir les sangles de suspension antérieures (2a) lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées pour une plus grande discrétion du harnais (selon fig. 6) ;.  - on its front part, the belt (3) is provided with pockets (8) intended to receive the front suspension straps (2a) when they are not used for greater discretion of the harness (according to fig. 6); .

-les boucles de réglage (5) de la longueur des sangles de suspension (2) sont d'un type permettant l'ajustement aisé même lorsque ces sangles sont sous tension de manière à régler l'inclinaison de l'utilisateur instantanément - les sangles de suspension postérieures se croisent dans le dos de la personne et procurent ainsi un maintien du dos et un bon positionnement des boucles de cuissards.  -the adjustment loops (5) of the length of the suspension straps (2) are of a type allowing easy adjustment even when these straps are under tension so as to adjust the inclination of the user instantly - the straps of posterior suspension cross in the back of the person and thus provide a support of the back and a good positioning of the thigh loops.

- les sangles de suspensions postérieures peuvent être munies à l'endroit de leur croisement dans le dos de l'utilisateur d'une pièce en tissu (9) servant au maintien de la tête lors des passages de la position couchée à debout ou assis et inversement (selon Fig. 4). - the rear suspension straps may be provided at the point of their crossing in the back of the user with a piece of fabric (9) used to hold the head when going from the prone position to standing or sitting and vice versa (according to Fig. 4).
