Abstract

A method for transferring a hoisting cord of a patient lifting apparatus from being suspended from a first travelling crab (5) to being suspended from a second travelling crab (6) is known before. This method can be simplified by that a running strap (14) is mounted with each end fixed on about the same level as the ceiling and close to the two travelling crabs (5, 6) and that a second strap (16) is attached with one end to run along the running strap (14) and being attached with the second end on the patient lifting apparatus (9). The hoisting cord of the lifting apparatus is disengaged from the first travelling crab (5) when the lifting apparatus (9) is only carried by the running strap (14) and the second strap (16) when the hoisting cord has been extended to be loose, thereafter the hoisting cord (10) is attached to the second travelling crab (6) and is hauled in until the second strap (16) can be disengaged from the running strap (14).

Description

METHOD AND MEANS AT LIFTING EQUIPMENT FOR A PATIENT
This invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transferring the suspension of a hoisting cord for a patient lifting apparatus in a first travelling crab, which is running on a carrier path, which is mounted in a ceiling or a ceiling area, to a second travelling crab, which is travelling on a carrier path being mounted in an adjacent ceiling or ceiling area .
Such a method is known from SE patent application No. 9200378- 9 being published under number 469740. Thus, it is known from this publication a method and an apparatus but this apparatus suffers from certain drawbacks, among others by that it is necessary to use a specific lifting means in order to carry out the method. The lifting means needs two hoisting cords, which alternatively can be extended or hauled in.
The invention aims to use a conventional patient lifting appa- ratus, which does not demand any new constructions parts of importance. The complete apparatus is further very simple and cheap in design and does not require any technical handling when the method shall be carried out. The lifting apparatus will further be on one and the same level when being trans- ferred from suspended in one of the travelling crabs to the second one.
In order to meet the required advantages the invention has been given the characterizing features which are stated in the enclosed claims.
The invention will be described in the following by reference to enclosed drawings. Figure 1 is thereby a view showing the lifting apparatus being suspended by a travelling crab, which is arranged in the left ceiling area.
Figure 2 is a view showing the patient lifting apparatus suspended under the partition between the two ceiling areas.
Figure 3 is a view showing the patient lifting apparatus being suspended by a travelling crab under the right ceiling area and the travelling crab has thus been transferred from the left ceiling area to the right ceiling area.
In figure 1 there is shown a part of a left ceiling 1 and a part of a right ceiling 2. There is a partition 13 between the two ceilings. A rail or a carrier path 3 is fixed to the left ceiling and a rail or a carrier path 4 is fixed to the right ceiling. A travelling crab 5 is travelling on the left rail 3 and a second travelling crab 6 is travelling on the right rail 4. The travelling crabs 5 and 6 have each one a hook 7 and 8 respectively for carrying a patient lifting apparatus 9. The lifting apparatus 9 includes a hoisting cord, the free end which can be hooked on one of the two hooks 7 and 8 respectively. The lifting apparatus 9 hauls in or extends the hoist- ing cord 10 by being operated in the normal way. The lifting apparatus carries as is well known per se gallows 11, which carries a harness 12 in which the patient is placed.
The patient sitting in the harness will now be transferred by the lifting apparatus from being carried by the travelling crab 5 to be carried by the travelling crab 6 on the other side of the partition 13 between the two ceiling 1 and 2. In order now to carry out the transfer of the lifting apparatus, a first strap 14 is extended between the ends of the two rails 3 and 4. The strap goes downwards under the partition 13. The lifting apparatus has an eye 15 and a second strap 16 can be hooked with its first end on this eye 15. The second trap 16 has an eye 17 at its second end, which is passed through the strap 14 and the eye 17 can hereby run along the strap 14.
Figure 1 thus shows that the lifting apparatus is hanging with the hoisting cord 10 suspended by the travelling crab 5 in the left ceiling part 1. The second strap 16 runs slack between the eye 15 and the first strap 14. The first strap 14 can be designated as a running track. In figure 2 there is now shown that the hoisting cord 10 has been extended so much that the lifting apparatus is completely suspended by the second strap 16 and the first strap 14. The hoisting cord 10 can in this position be unhooked from the hook 7 on the travelling crab 5 and be transferred to be hooked in the hook 8 of the second travelling crab 6. It should be noted that the lifting apparatus and hereby also the patient will be lowered a certain distance, which depends on how deep the partition 13 is and thus how long the first strap 14 must be in order to pass under the partition 13. The distance by which the lifting apparatus is lowered is thus determined by dimension of the partition 13 and is operated by the hoisting cord 10 of the lifting apparatus .
In figure 3 there is shown that the lifting apparatus has been transferred to the right ceiling part 2, where thus the lifting apparatus is completely carried by the hook 8 of the travelling crab 6. The second strap 16 is in this position loose, why it can be unhooked from the lifting apparatus 9. The tra- veiling crab 6 can hereafter thus be moved to the right under the ceiling 2 with the lifting apparatus suspended in the travelling crab.
The length of the second strap 16 is determined among other things by the distance between the attaching point 'of the first strap 14 on the rail and the hook on the travelling crab. The second strap 16 must be longer than this distance. The length of the first strap 14 is as said before determined by the depth of the partition 13 down into the room.
There are some variations of the invention within the scope of the invention. Thus, the second strap 16 may be fixed to the lifting apparatus and hooked to an eye which is sliding on the first strap 14. This is an alternative to what has been described above. It has also been said above that the first strap 14 is fixed to the ends of the two rails. Obviously it is also possible that the first strap 14 is hooked to the travelling crabs first when they have been brought into their end positions, that is to say when they are as near each other as is possible.
