Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hoist or lift for lifting a disabled or handicapped person and comprising an upright, an outrigger connected to the upright at a first end portion thereof so as to be pivotal in relation to the upright about a first pivot axis, person supporting means to be connected to a second end portion of the outrigger opposite to the first end portion and first moving means for controlled pivotal movement of the outrigger in relation to the upright about the first pivot axis.
  • the supporting means connected to the second free end portion of the outrigger may be passed under the arms of a sitting person and by operating the first moving means so as to swing the outrigger upwardly the sitting person is lifted to a standing position.
  • the lift is usually provided with wheels or rollers so that it may easily be moved together with a person being supported by the lift in a standing position.
  • the supporting means may be used for supporting a sitting person such that he or she remains in a sitting position when lifted by the lift.
  • the present invention provides a hoist or lift of the type described above which may also be used for moving a person from a lying position to a sitting position.
  • the hoist or lift according to the invention is characterized in an upper length of the upright comprising said first end portion being connected to a lower length of the upright so as to be pivotal in relation thereto about a second pivot axis, which extends transversely to the first pivot axis, and in second moving means for controlled pivotal movement of the upper length in relation to the lower length of the upright about the second pivot axis.
  • the hoist or lift according to the invention may be placed at the bed side such that the second free end of the outrigger is positioned above the lying person.
  • the upper length of the upright may be moved into a position in which it extends transversely to the lower length of the upright, i.e. substantially parallel to the lying person.
  • the person supporting means such as a belt or strap may now be passed beneath the back of the lying person and connected to the free end of the outrigger.
  • the second moving means By operating the second moving means the upper length of the upright and the downrigger connected thereto may be pivotally moved back to a position in which the upper length of the upright is in a substantially upright position which causes the body of the patient to be moved from a lying to an upright position.
  • the patient's legs extending along the length of the bed may now be turned manually about 90° so that the patient now attains a sitting position in which the legs depend substantially vertically. From this position the patient may be lifted to a standing position or lifted in a sitting position as described above by operating the first moving means and swinging the outrigger upwardly in relation to the upright.
  • the first and second pivot axes may define any acute or obtuse angle therebetween. In the preferred embodiment, however, the pivot axes extend substantially at mutually right angles. In principle, each of the pivot axes may define any acute angle with a horizontal plane. Preferably, however, the first and/or second pivot axes extend substantially horizontally.
  • the outrigger may extend substan ⁇ tially horizontally, and the longitudinal axis of the outrig ⁇ ger and the second pivot axis may then extend substantially parallel. More generally, the second pivot axis and a longi- tudinal axis of the outrigger may substantially define a vertical central plane of the lift.
  • the first and second moving means may be of any manually or power operated type.
  • the first and/or second moving means may comprise hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders which may be connected to a suitable pressure fluid source.
  • the first and/or second moving means may comprise a manually operated or motor operated spindle device, such as a screw spindle cooperating with a correspon ⁇ ding nut member.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the hoist or lift according to the invention
  • Figs. 2-6 illustrate various steps involved in lifting a patient or disabled person lying in a bed to a position in which the patient is supported by the hoist or lift in a standing position.
  • the hoist or lift shown in Fig. 1 comprises a base structure or supporting part 10.
  • the base structure includes a hollow beam 11, a standing platform 12 attached thereto, and a pair of arms or legs 13 arranged at opposite ends of the beam 11 and extending at right angles thereto.
  • Each arm or leg 13 comprises a telescopic member 14 (Figs. 2-6), which extends transversely to the corresponding arm or leg 13 and into telescopic engagement with an adjacent open end portion of the hollow beam 11.
  • Each arm or leg 13 has a pair of wheels or rollers 15 rotatably mounted at its opposite ends so that these wheels define a supporting area of the lift.
  • the wheels or rollers 15 may be locked by means of a releasable locking mechanism (not shown) which may, for example, be activated by operating an actuating member which may, for example, be positioned at one end of the platform 12.
  • An upright or a post 16 having its lower end fastened to the hollow beam 11 extends substantially vertically upwardly from the beam 11.
  • the post 16 is releasably fas ⁇ tened to the base structure 10.
  • the lower end of the post 16 may be in telescopic engagement with a corre ⁇ sponding upwardly extending tube stud positioned on the beam 11.
  • An outrigger 17 extending transversely to the upright 16 is swingably connected to the upper end of the upright 16 by means of a pivot 18 having a substantially horizontally extending pivot axis.
  • Driving means 19 comprising a motor 20 and a spindle drive 21 extends between the upright 16 and the outrigger 17, and by operating the electric motor 20 by control means (not shown) the outrigger 17 may be rotated about the pivot 18.
  • a hanger 22 and a supporting cloth 23 fastened thereto is suspended from the free end of the out ⁇ rigger 17.
  • a kneepad 24 and handgrips 25 are fastened to the upright 16.
  • the upright or post 16 is divided into a lower length 26 fastened to the hollow beam 11 and an upper length 27 having the pivot 18 arranged at its upper end and having its lower end pivotally connected to the lower length 26 by means of a further pivot 28 having a pivot axis extending transversely and preferably at right angles to the pivot axis of the pivot 18.
  • the hoist or lift shown in Fig. 1 may be used for lifting a patient or a disabled person 29 lying in a bed 30 from a lying position to a standing position as illustrated in figs. 2-6.
  • the supporting cloth 23 is detached from the hanger 22 and passed beneath the patient's 29 back and the lift is.moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 in which the base structure 10 extends beneath the bed 30.
  • the upper length 27 of the upright 16 is rotated about the pivot 28 to a transversely extending position by means of second driving means (not shown) corresponding to the driving means 19, vide Fig. 3.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil permettant à une personne handicapée ou infirme (29) de se lever ou de se soulever. Cet appareil comprend un montant (16) et un bras (17) relié à l'extrémité supérieure du montant et pouvant pivoter par rapport au montant grâce à un premier axe de pivotement (18). Un système de support (22, 23) destiné à l'utilisateur est fixé à l'extrémité libre du bras (17) et ce bras (17) peut être déplacé par rapport au montant (16) par pivotement grâce au premier axe (18), en utilisant un dispositif moteur (19). Un segment supérieur (27) du montant (16) comprenant ladite extrémité supérieure est relié à un segment inférieur (26) du montant (16) de manière à pouvoir pivoter par rapport à ce segment, grâce à un second axe de pivotement (28) qui est disposé transversalement par rapport au premier axe de pivotement (18). On peut déplacer le segment supérieur (27) par rapport au segment inférieur du montant par rotation, grâce au second axe de pivotement (28), en utilisant un autre dispositif moteur. Ce système est plus polyvalent que les systèmes connus.
