Dispositif pour introduire dans des piscines des personnes handicapées en fauteuil roulant
Différents dispositifs sont déjà connus pour introduire dans des piscines des personnes infirmes, dans lesquels on dispose lesdites personnes sur un siège qui peut être actionné, y compris par le patient lui-même, pour pivoter et descendre et monter pour permettre le bain dans une piscine, le siège étant actionné par des moyens hydrauliques ou pneumatiques. Device for introducing disabled people into wheelchairs into swimming pools
Various devices are already known for introducing disabled people into swimming pools, in which said people are placed on a seat which can be actuated, including by the patient himself, to pivot and descend and rise to allow bathing in a swimming pool. , the seat being actuated by hydraulic or pneumatic means.

L'objet de la présente invention est un dispositif pratique et simplifié, et à la fois solide et sûr, qui permet à des personnes handicapées et qui doivent se déplacer en fauteuil roulant de se baigner dans des piscines.  The object of the present invention is a practical and simplified device, and at the same time solid and safe, which allows people with disabilities and who have to move in a wheelchair to bathe in swimming pools.

Ce dispositif permet le bain sans quitter le fauteuil roulant, puisque ce dernier s'introduit jusqu'au fond de la piscine où on peut le déplacer. Comme cela est logique, la piscine sera de dimensions et de caractéristiques appropriées à cette situation.  This device allows bathing without leaving the wheelchair, since it enters the bottom of the pool where it can be moved. As is logical, the swimming pool will be of dimensions and characteristics appropriate to this situation.

De façon caractéristique, ce dispositif comprend une plate-forme, avec garde-fou latéral et arrière, qui est accouplée radialement à un support déplaçable verticalement et qui est pivotant par action manuelle.  Typically, this device comprises a platform, with lateral and rear railing, which is coupled radially to a vertically movable support and which is pivotable by manual action.

Le support se compose d'un vérin hydraulique qui coulisse sur un axe vertical lié en haut et en bas à une colonne de soutien qui s'appuie sur le fond de la piscine par son extrémité inférieure et est liée par son extrémité supérieure et par sa partie médiane à une ossature fixée au voisinage du bord de la piscine.  The support consists of a hydraulic cylinder which slides on a vertical axis linked at the top and bottom to a support column which is supported on the bottom of the pool by its lower end and is linked by its upper end and by its middle part of a frame fixed near the edge of the pool.

Le vérin de support présente sur sa périphérie des butées qui limitent sa rotation à 90 par rapport à la colonne de soutien pour disposer la plate-forme en une position supérieure de réception et en une position de sortie du fauteuil roulant au fond de la piscine.  The support jack has on its periphery stops which limit its rotation to 90 relative to the support column to arrange the platform in an upper receiving position and in an exit position from the wheelchair at the bottom of the pool.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres apparaîtront mieux à partir de la description détaillée ci-après, laquelle sera facilitée par les deux planches de dessins qui l'accompagnent, où l'on a représenté un mode de réalisation pratique qui est proposé uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif de l'étendue de la présente invention.  These characteristics and others will become more apparent from the detailed description below, which will be facilitated by the two accompanying drawing boards, in which a practical embodiment has been shown which is offered solely by way of illustration. non-limiting example of the scope of the present invention.

Dans les dessins :
La figure 1 représente en perspective le dispositif objet de l'invention, et les figures 2 et 3 représentent ledit dispositif en vue en plan et en élévation, respectivement. In the drawings:
Figure 1 shows in perspective the device object of the invention, and Figures 2 and 3 show said device in plan view and in elevation, respectively.

Conformément aux dessins, ce dispositif pour introduire dans des piscines, puis les en sortir, des personnes handicapées dans leur fauteuil roulant, comprend une plate-forme (1) dont le bord avant (2) est surbaissé pour que la personne handicapée assise sur son fauteuil roulant puisse y accéder facilement, ladite plate-forme possédant un garde-fou avec des tubes latéraux (3) et un tube arrière (4). Cette plate-forme (1) est accouplée radialement au moyen d'étriers (5) à un support (6) constitué par un vérin hydraulique avec raccord (7) pour le passage de l'eau et qui se déplace verticalement sur un axe vertical (8) autour duquel il peut tourner au moyen d'une action manuelle sur la plateforme.  According to the drawings, this device for introducing disabled people into their wheelchairs into and out of them, includes a platform (1) whose front edge (2) is lowered so that the disabled person sits on his wheelchair can easily access it, said platform having a railing with side tubes (3) and a rear tube (4). This platform (1) is coupled radially by means of stirrups (5) to a support (6) constituted by a hydraulic cylinder with connection (7) for the passage of water and which moves vertically on a vertical axis (8) around which it can turn by means of a manual action on the platform.

Cette rotation est de 900 et elle est limitée par la présence, sur la périphérie du support cylindrique (6), de deux butées opposées (9) et (10) qui bloquent la colonne (11) de soutien de l'axe vertical (8) à laquelle est lié ledit axe par ses extrémités supérieure (12) et inférieure (13).  This rotation is 900 and is limited by the presence, on the periphery of the cylindrical support (6), of two opposite stops (9) and (10) which block the column (11) supporting the vertical axis (8 ) to which said axis is linked by its upper (12) and lower (13) ends.

Ladite colonne (11) de soutien s'appuie par son extrémité inférieure (14) sur le fond de la piscine (F) et est liée par son extrémité supérieure (15) et par sa partie médiane (16) à une ossature (17) fixée au moyen  Said support column (11) is supported by its lower end (14) on the bottom of the pool (F) and is linked by its upper end (15) and by its median part (16) to a frame (17) fixed by means

d'une plaque de base (18) au voisinage du bord (B) de la piscine.  a base plate (18) in the vicinity of the edge (B) of the swimming pool.

Pour assurer l'immobilité verticale de la colonne (11), son extrémité inférieure (14) se termine par un embout (19) qui s'engage dans une cavité (20) prévue au fond de la piscine.  To ensure the vertical immobility of the column (11), its lower end (14) ends in a nozzle (19) which engages in a cavity (20) provided at the bottom of the pool.

Eventuellement, ladite colonne (11) sera également consolidée par la présence d'un appui latéral (non représenté) appliqué sur la paroi (P) de la piscine.  Optionally, said column (11) will also be consolidated by the presence of a lateral support (not shown) applied to the wall (P) of the swimming pool.

Ce dispositif fonctionne de la manière suivante : dans la disposition de la figure 1, le fauteuil roulant entrera de dos sur la plate-forme (1). Ensuite, on élèvera légèrement la plate-forme avec les moyens hydrauliques et elle sera tournée manuellement de 90 jusqu'à arriver dans une position parallèle à la paroi de la piscine (figure 2), après quoi la plate-forme sera abaissée hydrauliquement jusqu'à venir s'appuyer sur le fond (F) de la piscine, le fauteuil roulant pouvant sortir ensuite librement pour se déplacer dans ledit fond.  This device works as follows: in the arrangement in Figure 1, the wheelchair will enter from the back onto the platform (1). Then, the platform will be slightly raised with the hydraulic means and it will be rotated manually by 90 until reaching a position parallel to the wall of the pool (figure 2), after which the platform will be lowered hydraulically until to come to rest on the bottom (F) of the pool, the wheelchair can then exit freely to move in said bottom.

Pour remonter et sortir le fauteuil roulant, on procédera dans l'ordre inverse de celui indiqué.  To reassemble and remove the wheelchair, proceed in the reverse order to that indicated.

L'invention, dans son caractère essentiel, peut être mise en pratique sous d'autres formes de réalisation qui ne diffèrent de celle indiquée uniquement à titre d'exemple que par des détails. The invention, in its essential character, can be put into practice in other embodiments which differ from that indicated only by way of example only in details.
