Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de d'aide à la marche pour personne à mobilité réduite de type déambulateur en « cercle »fermé dont un côté est mobile. Plus particulièrement, ce dispositif de l'invention est destiné à protéger l'utilisateur d'éventuelles chutes liées à son handicap. The present invention relates to a walking aid device for a person with reduced mobility of the "circle" walker closed one side is movable. More particularly, this device of the invention is intended to protect the user from any falls related to his disability.

Les dispositifs actuellement disponibles pour aider les personnes à se déplacer en se tenant debout alors qu'elles sont atteintes plus ou moins gravement de handicap(s) moteur(s) sont répartis en deux groupes, un premier rassemblant tous les cadres de marches non fermés pour leur accès, un deuxième groupe avec un cadre fermé sur tous ses côtés, équipé d'une culotte de maintien à l'intérieur. The devices currently available to help people to move while standing while they are more or less severely handicapped (s) motor (s) are divided into two groups, a first gathering all frames unclosed markets for their access, a second group with a closed frame on all sides, equipped with a panties inside.

L'inconvénient des dispositifs du premier groupe réside dans leur incapacité à limiter les chutes par affaiblissement des forces musculaires des membres inférieurs, il n'existe aucun soutien de l'utilisateur. Les dispositifs du deuxième groupe sont très peu utilisés car plus encombrants, la culotte est difficile à mettre en place. The disadvantage of the devices of the first group lies in their inability to limit falls by weakening muscle strength of the lower limbs, there is no user support. The devices of the second group are very little used because more bulky, the pants are difficult to implement.

Selon la présente invention, il a été découvert un dispositif qui apporte une solution aux problèmes rencontrés avec les dispositifs connus ci-dessus. Il est plus sûre, facile à utiliser et plus léger. Ainsi l'invention consiste en un appareil d'aide à la marche de type déambulateur avec un arceau supérieur, d'appui en « cercle » dont un côté est mobile permettant 20 l'accès au centre du dispositif : la personne se place au centre , puis on referme le déambulateur en rattachant la partie mobile de l'arceau à sa partie fixe ,fermant le cercle, on fait passer entre-jambes le hamac de soutien (l'extrémité postérieure fixée sur le côté mobile de l'arceau) , l'autre extrémité antérieure du hamac passera dans une glissière prévue sur le montant avant de l'arceau, fixe, du dispositif ; chaque extrémité 25 étant pourvue de roulettes adaptées à la taille de la glissière. Cette glissière sera continue sur la partie mobile et fixe lors de la fermeture du dispositif, ainsi le hamac pourra se déplacer à l'intérieur du « cercle » par rotation de l'usager sûr lui-même. L'usager sera plus libre de ses mouvements. Le dispositif aura un deuxième arceau inférieur pour assurer une solidité de 30 l'ensemble de l'appareil de marche, il solidarisera les pieds latéraux antérieurs et postérieurs. Le dispositif est pourvu de cinq roulettes, fixées sur cinq pieds : deux latéraux-antérieurs, deux latéraux-postérieurs, rattachés à la partie fixe du dispositif ; et un cinquième pied, postérieur, rattaché à la partie mobile du cercle. Ainsi ce dispositif permet le déplacement en tout sens, en rotation, il permettra une diminution des chutes liées à une déficience des membres inférieurs, une rééducation en sécurité et un confort de vie pour les personnes dépendantes. Selon une variante du dispositif, il est réglable à plusieurs hauteurs. Les dimensions, en circonférence, du dispositif pourront être variables selon la taille de la personne. Selon une autre variante du dispositif la forme générale en « cercle » pourra devenir un cadre à angles ouverts. Les modes de fermeture du montant mobile seront plus ou moins complexes pour faciliter l'utilisation et la sécurité de l'utilisateur. According to the present invention, a device has been discovered which provides a solution to the problems encountered with the devices known above. It is safer, easier to use and lighter. Thus, the invention consists of a walker-type walking aid with an upper arch, a "circle" support, one side of which is movable, allowing access to the center of the device: the person is placed in the center then we close the walker by attaching the movable part of the arch to its fixed part, closing the circle, is passed between the legs of the support hammock (the rear end attached to the movable side of the arch), the other anterior end of the hammock will pass in a slide provided on the front upright of the fixed arch of the device; each end 25 being provided with wheels adapted to the size of the slide. This slide will be continuous on the mobile part and fixed when closing the device, so the hammock can move inside the "circle" by rotation of the user himself safe. The user will be more free of his movements. The device will have a second lower arch to ensure a solidity of the entire walking apparatus, it will solidify the anterior and posterior lateral feet. The device is provided with five wheels, fixed on five feet: two lateral-anterior, two lateral-posterior, attached to the fixed part of the device; and a fifth foot, posterior, attached to the movable part of the circle. Thus this device allows the movement in all directions, in rotation, it will reduce falls associated with a disability of the lower limbs, rehabilitation safety and comfort for living dependents. According to a variant of the device, it is adjustable to several heights. The circumferential dimensions of the device may be variable depending on the size of the person. According to another variant of the device the general shape in "circle" may become an open-angle frame. The closure modes of the mobile upright will be more or less complex to facilitate the use and safety of the user.

Le dispositif est constitué d'un seul matériau ou de plusieurs : plastique, aluminium, métallique, résine, entre autre; la partie « hamac »est avantageusement constituée d'un matériau souple, confortable, résistant et lavable, non allergisant. L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin annexé, représentant à titre d'exemple, deux étapes d'utilisation de ce dispositif, dessin selon lequel : Figure 1 représente une vue du dispositif en position fermée hors dimensions réelles. Figure 2 représente une vue du dispositif en position ouverte hors dimensions réelles. The device consists of a single material or several: plastic, aluminum, metal, resin, among others; the "hammock" portion is advantageously made of a flexible material, comfortable, resistant and washable, non-allergenic. The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, with reference to the appended drawing, representing by way of example, two steps of use of this device, drawing according to which: Figure 1 represents a view of the device in closed position off real dimensions. Figure 2 shows a view of the device in open position out of real dimensions.

La figure 1 représente un dispositif 1 en position fermée, sous contrainte, de forme générale , constituée d'un arceau d'appui(1) en deux parties :l'une fixe(6), l'autre mobile(7), reliées entre elles par une charnière(8) et un point d'attache(9).Selon cette variante, il est de forme circulaire, reposant sur cinq pieds(3) mus par des roulettes(4) et reliées entre eux(sauf avec le pied relié à la partie mobile(7)) par un arceau de solidité(2).
