Definitions

  • the apparatus comprises a lifting arm having a free end portion movable with respect to the remainder of the arm to either of two operative positions. In one operative position the arm is adapted for the attachment of patient support means employing a sling arrangement, and in the other operative position the arm is adapted for the attachment of a rigid patient support member.
  • the apparatus is preferably of mobile form, comprising a wheeled chassis with an upstanding column from which the arm projects.
  • This invention relates to apparatus for handling hospital patients or other persons who are disabled or infirm. It is concerned with apparatus which is designed to lift the patient from one situation and then deposit the patient in another situation, for example to lift a patient from a bed and deposit the patient in a sitting position in a wheel chair.
  • the invention is of particular, but not exclusive, application to such apparatus comprising a mobile chassis on which a lifting arm is supported, the patient in turn being supported by support means at the outer end of the arm.
  • the support means employ a sling or arrangement of slings looped beneath and around the patient, while in others a rigid support member, preferably in the form of a legless chair, is used. Both these arrangements have their advantages and disadvantages, but up to the present a givenapparatus has been usable with one type of patient support or the other, i.e., a slung support or a rigid support, but not with both.
  • the object of the invention is to provide apparatus which will enable alternative use to be made of slung and rigid patient supports.
  • apparatus for handling disabled or infirm persons comprises a lifting arm having a free end portion movable with respect to the remainder of the arm to either of two operative positions, in one operative position the arm being adapted for the attachment of patient support means employing a sling arrangementand in the other operative position of the free arm portion the arm being adapted for the attachment of a rigid. support member, for example in the form of a legless chair.
  • the free arm portion extends generally horizontally as a continuation of the main remaining portion of the arm, and it may be provided with a lateral suspension hanger which projects from the arm and provides spaced suspension points for a patient support sling.
  • This hanger may be in accordance with our U.S. Pat. No. 3,623,169.
  • the ends of the hanger may project forwardly and downwardly from the free end of the arm, and it is preferred that when the end portion of the arm is in the other operative position the hanger can be turned round so that the ends thereof extend alongside the arm portionout of the way.
  • the free end portion In the other operative position the free end portion preferably projects mainly downwardly and; slightly forwardly of the main arm portion, so that it provides an upper attachment point for the rigid support member and a reaction support for that member at a lower level.
  • Movement of the arm in operation from the one operative position to the other may be achieved by way of articulation preferably the end portioncan be swung downwardly from the one to the other operative position about an axis disposed laterally and horizontally of the arm, although the same result may be achieved by having an articulation axis disposed in a vertical plane but inclined forwardly and downwardly away from the main arm portion.
  • means will be provided to lock the two portions in the adjusted position, but other forms of relative movement may be employed.
  • the free end portion of the arm may be detachable, so thatit can be detached and refitted after it has been turned round in order to provide the alternative operative position.
  • apparatus for handling disabled or infirm persons comprises a lifting arm mounted on a mobile chassis and means to raise and lower the arm, the latter being formed with an outer end portion movable between an operative position in which a slung patient support is attachable to the arm and another operative position in which an altemative patient support can be rigidly mounted on the arm.
  • the apparatus employs lifting means enclosed within a column along which the arm can be raised or lowered, although a pivoted arm arrangement may be employed.
  • a parallelogram arm construction is desirably used so that the orientation of the rigid support member, when used, does not change as the patient-is raised or lowered.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective'view showing the apparatus, in one operative condition, with a patient supported in a sling arrangement
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an upper portion of the apparatus, in the other operative condition, with a patient supported by a rigid support member in the form of a legless chair,
  • FIG. 3' is a detail fragmentary side view, to a larger scale, illustrating a portion of a lifting arm of the apparatus in the condition of FIG. 2, and
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view on the line IV IV in FIG. 3.
  • the apparatus comprises a wheeled tubular chassis 11 which is open at the forward end between parallel side members 12 which at the rear end are joined by a cross member 13.
  • a lifting column 14 projects from the center of the cross member and is desirably vertical as shown, although it may be inclined in a fore-and-aft plane.
  • the column 14 incorporates a roller chain elevator or screw jack by which a rigid cantilever lifting arm 15 projecting from the column may be raised and lowered.
  • the screw jack is operated by a winding handle 16 mounted at a suitable height at the rear of the column. This handle has two lever arms with hand grips so that it may be held handlebar fashion to propel and maneuver the apparatus.
  • the arm 15 is divided into two portions, namely a main portion 15a attached to and projecting from the column 14 and a free end portion 15b which is attached to the main portion 15a for articulation about a lateral and horizontal axis 17 between two operative positions.
  • the end portion 15b projects horizontally away from and in effect provides a continuation of the main portion 15a, and in the other operative position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 it projects mainly downwardly but slightly forwardly from the articulation axis 17.
  • Detent means comprising a spring loaded catch bolt 18 (see FIG. 3) positively locate the end portion in either of the operative positions, and when it is desired to move the arm the detent means can be freed manually by means of paired release members in the form of knobs 19 at the sides of the arm 15.
  • the projecting length of the arm portion a is of sandwich construction with a reduced thickness central section on opposite sides of which cheek plates 22 are attached.
  • One of these plates 22 is removed in FIG. 3 to show internal detail of the detent means.
  • the bolt 18 projects from a guide slot 23 at the end of the section 20, and is urged to the projecting operative position shown by a bolt spring 24.
  • the plates 22 project beyond the section 20 on either side of the adjacent end of the arm portion 15b, and a pivot 25 defining the axis 17 extends between the plates 22.
  • a rounded end of the arm 15b has edge notches 26 alternatively engageable by the bolt 18 to retain the arm portion 15b in one or other of said operative positions.
  • the knobs 19 are eccentrically mounted at opposite ends of a cross shaft 27, which is sectioned through in FIG. 3 and which is mounted in bearing bores 28 in the plates 22.
  • the shaft 27 has an enlarged diameter central section 27a, by which it is axially located between the plates 22, and this section turns in a cut out 31 in the arm section 20.
  • the cut out 31 breaks into the guide slot 23, and a pin 29 which projects radially from the shaft section 27a engages an upper edge slot 30 in the bolt 18.
