Description

DISPOSITIVO DE APOYO PA IETO-OCCIPITAL PARA SUJECIÓN LATERAL DE LA CABEZA EN CAMAS CON EL RESPALDO ELEVADO  PA IETO-OCCIPITAL SUPPORT DEVICE FOR SIDE HEAD RESTRAINT IN BEDS WITH ELEVATED BACKUP
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
En general, la presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo de apoyo parieto-occipital para sujeción lateral de la cabeza de personas que utilizan camas con el respaldo elevado.  In general, the present invention relates to a parieto-occipital support device for lateral support of the head of people using beds with raised backs.
Más en particular, la invención se refiere a un dispositivo que tiene como objetivo evitar la caída lateral de la cabeza en aquellas personas que descansan en una cama con el respaldo elevado, empleando como apoyo las zonas parietal y occipital de la cabeza y evitando específicamente, frente a lo conocido en la técnica anterior, cualquier tipo de sujeción en la barbilla o en la frente del usuario.  More particularly, the invention relates to a device that aims to prevent lateral head loss in those who rest in a bed with a high backrest, using the parietal and occipital areas of the head as support and specifically avoiding, compared to what is known in the prior art, any type of support on the chin or on the front of the user.
Este dispositivo resulta de especial utilidad cuando el usuario se queda dormido, o bien cuando no puede sujetar la cabeza de forma vertical por cualquier otra causa, mientras utiliza una cama con el respaldo elevado. This device is especially useful when the user falls asleep, or when he cannot hold his head vertically for any other reason, while using a bed with a raised backrest.
La indicación principal se refiere a personas que utilizan una cama con el respaldo inclinado más de 30° respecto a la horizontal por presentar generalmente enfermedades osteo-musculares, neurológicas o respiratorias. The main indication refers to people who use a bed with a backrest inclined more than 30 ° with respect to the horizontal one because they usually present with osteo-muscular, neurological or respiratory diseases.
ESTADO DE LA TÉCNICA STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE
Existen múltiples dispositivos que se emplean para evitar que la cabeza de una persona caiga hacia los lados cuando pierde el tono de la musculatura de su cuello, consistiendo la mayor parte de ellos en sistemas de restricción o topes laterales que intentan evitar que se produzca una flexión anterior o lateral de la cabeza. Para los casos en que una persona se encuentra encamada, con el respaldo reclinado verticalmente, se utilizan clásicamente collarines o almohadas colocadas a ambos lados de la cabeza, restringiendo de esta forma su desplazamiento lateral.  There are multiple devices that are used to prevent a person's head from falling sideways when he loses the tone of his neck muscles, most of them consisting of restraint systems or lateral stops that try to prevent flexion from occurring. anterior or lateral head. For cases where a person is bedridden, with the back reclining vertically, collars or pillows placed on both sides of the head are used, thus restricting their lateral displacement.
Los dispositivos más próximos en el estado de la técnica son aquellos destinados a realizar una tracción del cuello, presentando como diferencia principal con la presente invención la necesidad de aplicar una sujeción en la barbilla o en la frente del usuario, como se puede encontrar en las invenciones descritas en los documentos CH427147A, GB1146149A, US3599632A, y US4538598A. La ventaja de disponer únicamente de un apoyo parietal y occipital para la cabeza es que simplifica tanto el dispositivo como las maniobras de colocación y extracción del mismo, dejando además libre toda la superficie de la cara e incrementando significativamente el confort de su uso. Debido además a que la tracción de la cabeza no es un objetivo de la presente invención, sólo son necesarias entre tres y cinco piezas de gran ligereza ensambladas entre sí, que pueden ser fabricadas todas ellas mediante moldeo por inyección de polímeros para evitar la presencia de elementos metálicos, poleas u otros complejos mecanismos o diseños, lo cual diferencia asimismo la presente invención de las anteriormente mencionadas. EXPOSICIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN The closest devices in the state of the art are those intended to perform neck traction, presenting as a main difference with the present invention the need to apply a support in the chin or on the user's forehead, as can be found in the inventions described in documents CH427147A, GB1146149A, US3599632A, and US4538598A. The advantage of having only a parietal and occipital support for the head is that it simplifies both the device and the maneuvers of placement and removal thereof, also freeing the entire surface of the face and significantly increasing the comfort of its use. Due to the fact that the traction of the head is not an objective of the present invention, only three to five very light pieces assembled together are necessary, which can all be manufactured by polymer injection molding to avoid the presence of metallic elements, pulleys or other complex mechanisms or designs, which also differentiates the present invention from those mentioned above. EXHIBITION OF THE INVENTION
El problema técnico al que responde la presente invención es la falta de sujeción de la cabeza en personas que se encuentran en cama con el respaldo elevado. Este problema se hace especialmente relevante cuando el usuario se queda adormecido o cuando no puede sujetar el peso de su cabeza debido principalmente a que padece una enfermedad ósea, muscular o neurológica.  The technical problem to which the present invention responds is the lack of support of the head in people who are in bed with the high back. This problem becomes especially relevant when the user falls asleep or when he cannot hold the weight of his head mainly due to bone, muscle or neurological disease.
El objetivo de la presente invención es un dispositivo cuya función es sujetar el desplazamiento lateral de la cabeza utilizando para ello sus zonas occipital y parietal, y que resulte de gran simplicidad y ligereza para que pueda ser fabricado completamente por moldeo mediante inyección de polímeros. Las partes componentes del dispositivo son: un elemento colgante, un elemento de suspensión, y un elemento de anclaje en la cama.  The objective of the present invention is a device whose function is to hold the lateral displacement of the head using its occipital and parietal zones, and which is very simple and light so that it can be completely manufactured by polymer injection molding. The component parts of the device are: a hanging element, a suspension element, and an anchor element in the bed.
El elemento colgante contiene una pieza en forma de hamaca y generalmente se completa con un puente y un tirante.  The hanging element contains a hammock-shaped piece and is usually completed with a bridge and a brace.
La pieza en forma de hamaca pasa siempre por detrás de las orejas del usuario, no dejando ningún elemento por delante de las mismas y quedando por lo tanto su cara completamente libre de elementos. El elemento colgante se suspende desde un punto situado en el elemento de suspensión, quedando en una vista lateral en línea con la proyección vertical de las zonas occipital y parietal, lo cual implica que dicho punto se encuentra siempre por encima o ligeramente por delante de la cabeza del usuario pero nunca por detrás de la misma. The hammock-shaped piece always passes behind the user's ears, leaving no element in front of them and therefore leaving its face completely free of elements. The hanging element is suspended from a point located in the suspension element, being in a side view in line with the vertical projection of the occipital and parietal areas, which implies that said point is always above or slightly ahead of the User head but never behind it.
Los elementos que componen esta invención pueden servir de soporte para dispositivos electrónicos de audio, tubos de alimentación naso- gástrica, o sondas para el aporte de oxígeno.  The elements that compose this invention can serve as support for electronic audio devices, nasogastric feeding tubes, or probes for oxygen supply.
En resumen, la principal ventaja es la gran sencillez y ligereza de un dispositivo mediante el cual se sujeta la cabeza de una persona que se encuentra encamada con el respaldo incorporado mejorando su postura y facilitando otras funciones como el descanso, la alimentación, o el aporte de oxígeno.  In summary, the main advantage is the great simplicity and lightness of a device by which the head of a person who is bedridden with the built-in backrest is secured, improving its posture and facilitating other functions such as rest, feeding, or contribution of oxygen
