Definitions

  • This invention relates to a support structure for a hoist, e.g. an invalid hoist.
  • a support structure for a hoist comprising two ground engageable support members, a track along which a hoist can run, the track being connected, or connectible, between the two support members so as, in use, to extend horizontally or substantially horizontally at an elevated position, at least one stabiliser comprising an elongate stabilising member which can be connected to, or engaged with, a wall or ceiling, means for supporting the stabilising member in a first orientation in which the stabilising member is moveable relative to the support members and track in a direction parallel or substantially parallel to the track for connection to, or engagement with, a wall and in a second orientation in which the stabilising member is moveable relative to the support members and track in a vertical or substantially vertical direction for connection to, or engagement with, a ceiling, and means for releasably fastening the stabilising member against such movement.
  • the supporting means for the stabilising member comprises a sleeve in which the stabilising member is slidably movable and, in this case, releasable fastening means, e.g. in the form of a grub screw or the like, may be provided between the sleeve and the stabilising member.
  • the support structure has two stabilising members. These may be extendible relative to the track in opposite directions for connection to, or engagement with, two opposing walls. In this latter case, the stabilising members are preferably supported above the track and offset laterally from one another.
  • the or each stabilising member may have connection means in the form of a plate-like element which can be connected to a wall or ceiling, such as by screws, or engagement means which can be clamped against the wall or ceiling.
  • connection means in the form of a plate-like element which can be connected to a wall or ceiling, such as by screws, or engagement means which can be clamped against the wall or ceiling.
  • the support structure will have two stabilising members so that the clamping force of one stabilising member can be reacted by the other stabilising member.
  • the connection or engagement means is finely adjustable relative to the stabilising member, such as by mutually engageable screw threads.
  • the support members are in the form of A-frames.

  • the invention also comprises a hoist in combination with the support structure, the hoist comprising a body transversible, preferably by motorised means, along the track, a winch and a flexible elongate element which can be extended and
  • the lower end of the flexible elongate element is preferably provided with a sling attachment device, and more particularly but not exclusively, with an attachment device for a body support sling.

  • the supporting structure shown therein is in the form of a gantry 10 supporting an invalid hoist 11.
  • the gantry comprises two A-frames 12 and a track 13 connected therebetween.
  • Each A-frame comprises two inclined legs 14, a cross-member 15 and a bracket 16.
  • the brackets 16 are secured to opposite ends of the track 13, such as by welding, and each bracket 16 is connected to the upper ends of two legs 14 by bolts.
  • the cross-member 15 is connected to the two legs 14 also by bolts.
  • the gantry also comprises two stabilisers 17.
  • Each stabiliser (see, in particular, Figure 4) comprises an elongate, tubular stabilising member 18, a plug 19 push fitted in one end of the stabilising member 18, a threaded collar 20 having a projecting sleeve 21 welded in the other end of the stabilising member 18 and a clamping member 22.

  • Grub screws 29 co-operate with threaded apertures in the sleeves 28 to releasably secure the stabilising members 18 in selected positions relative to respective sleeves 28.
  • Any fine adjustment to increase the clamping force can be made by loosening one or both lock nuts 25 and rotating one or both rods 24 relative to respective collars 20.

  • the fixing member 30 comprises a fixing plate 31 secured to the end of a threaded rod 24'.
  • the plate 31 has screw holes (not shown) so that the plate can be screwed to a wall.
  • This fixing member 30 is used instead of the clamping member 22 when it is not possible or inconvenient to clamp between two walls. In this case, one of the stabilising members 18 is left in a retracted condition.
  • Angled brackets 32 are provided so that one or both stabilisers 17 can be clamped against, or fixed to, the ceiling.

Abstract

Structure de support d'un dispositif de levage, comprenant deux éléments (12) de support en contact avec le sol, un rail (13) le long duquel un dispositif de levage (11) peut se déplacer, ce rail étant relié ou pouvant être relié aux deux éléments de support en une position intermédiaire de manière à ce que, lors de son utilisation, il s'étende horizontalement ou sensiblement horizontalement en une position élevée, au moins un stabilisateur (17) comportant un élément (18) de stabilisation de forme allongée qui peut être raccordé à une paroi ou à un plafond ou être en contact avec ceux-ci, des moyens (27, 32) de support de l'élément stabilisateur dans une première orientation dans laquelle cet élément est mobile par rapport aux éléments de support et au rail dans une direction parallèle ou sensiblement parallèle au rail, afin d'être raccordé à une paroi ou en contact avec celle-ci, ainsi que dans une seconde orientation dans laquelle l'élément stabilisateur est mobile par rapport aux éléments de support et au rail dans une direction verticale ou sensiblement verticale, afin d'être raccordé à un plafond ou en contact avec celui-ci, ainsi que des moyens servant à fixer de manière libérable l'élément de stabilisation afin d'empêcher tout déplacement de celui-ci.
