Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of aid systems for people with disabilities. More in detail, the present invention refers to a new apparatus adapted to facilitate the lifting and the movement of people with motor difficulties. State of the art
  • the present invention proposes a new apparatus adapted to assist people with motor difficulties in carrying out everyday operations such as getting up from bed or going to the bathroom, by means of the adaptation of said apparatus to the height and to the weight of the user, and supporting the latter during the course of said operations and the like.
  • the present industrial invention patent application describes a new apparatus for the aid of people with disabilities. More in detail, the present invention describes an apparatus adapted to facilitate the movement of people with motor difficulties and to assist them in carrying out indispensable daily operations. Still more in detail, the present invention refers to an apparatus that allows assisting users, with motor difficulties, in carrying out operations that require excessive force, such as those necessary for getting up from bed or for moving from one position to another or for being seated on bathroom apparatuses such as toilet bowls.
  • the described apparatus allows obtaining the aforesaid results by making use of a telescopic structure that allows the same apparatus to be adapted to the physical characteristics of the user person and to "accompany" such person in carrying out the aforesaid movements of lifting/lowering and/or travel.
  • the described apparatus can be adjusted in order to be better adapted to the physical characteristics of the subject, such as weight and height.
  • the same telescopic structure renders the entire apparatus decidedly versatile, since - by having a rod-like structure that can be extended and opened, adjustable as a function of the subject's size - it allows use of said apparatus on multiple subjects. For example, one such need can be present in families where multiple people have motor difficulties, such as in the case of elderly couples who move with difficulty and slowly, or as in the case of people suffering from obesity.
  • the described apparatus substantially performs a function similar to that of common forklifts, usually employed in industrial establishments, for the lifting and the transport of relatively heavy packages.
  • the present apparatus substantially has a movable lower portion that makes the entire apparatus movable due to the presence of common wheels, and an upper structure adapted to grasp the subject with motor difficulties. Both the lower portion and the upper portion have a characteristic C-shaped profile.
  • the two portions which are spatially extended in a manner so as to be parallel, are also connected by a rod or telescopic piston, orthogonal to said portions, whose length can be vertically adjusted, thus allowing the spacing of the lower portion and the upper portion according to needs, and more in detail, being able to vary the height from the ground of the upper portion as a function of the height at which it is preferable to "grasp" and bring the subject into the upright position.
  • This result is obtainable due to the presence of a common hydraulic oil pump that allows the vertical movement of the hydraulic piston and which is integrated with the present apparatus, whose description will be clearer hereinbelow in the course of the following description, also due to the observation of the enclosed drawings.
  • the grasping and lifting of the subject occur due to the aforesaid C-shaped upper portion of the apparatus. More in detail said upper portion has, at its ends, two coupling systems, one for each end, adapted to grasp the subject at the height of the armpits and at the shoulder blades. Each coupling system is also C-shaped and is spatially extended in a manner so as to direct the concavity, defining the C, upward.
  • the lifting of the subject, initially in seated position, who will make use of the apparatus will occur after the aforesaid grasping by actuating the telescopic hydraulic system.
  • the apparatus that is the object of the present description is a versatile instrument due to its adaptability to multiple subjects who, as such, can have different sizes in terms of weight and height. Said versatility can be encountered not only due to the extensibility and retraction of the vertical piston, but also due to the telescopy of the two C-shaped portions, in the plane defined thereby. More in detail, both C- shaped upper portion, adapted to grasp the user, and the C-shaped lower portion, adapted to move the entire apparatus, centrally have an adjustment system that allows extending or retracting said central section, consequently making the opening of the C-shaped structure larger or smaller, respectively.
  • the possibility to enlarge and restrict the opening of said portion allows adapting the apparatus in question to the build of the user, for example to the width of his thorax.
  • the possibility to enlarge and preferably to restrict the opening of the lower C-shaped portion instead offers the advantage of being able to move the apparatus from one setting to another, even allowing the user to be able to pass through relatively narrow openings when he uses said apparatus.
  • FIGURE 1 shows a front view of the apparatus 1, object of the present industrial invention patent application.
  • said apparatus 1 comprises the C-shaped lower portion 2 provided with wheels 10; the central support portion 16, also C-shaped and having the ends 16' and 16" shaped as handles adapted to offer support to the user of the apparatus 1; the C-shaped upper portion 3; the hydraulic piston 4 whose extension and retraction, due to the hydraulic pump 8, allows positioning the upper portion 3 at the height necessary for assisting the user in passing from the seated position to the upright position. Said positioning occurs in an automated manner due to the remote control 11 power supplied by the electrical system 20 integrated with said apparatus 1.
  • the C-shaped upper portion 3 has, at its ends 6 and 6', respectively of the coupling systems 5 and 5' adapted to stably grasp the user at the height of the armpits.
  • Said coupling systems 5 and 5' also C-shaped, each have the rear arc 7' and the front arc 7". More in detail the arc 7', adapted to be extended onto the shoulder blades of the user, is greater than the front arc 7", in a manner so as to facilitate the stability and grasping of the user during his movement.
  • the system comprises at least one belt 15 adapted to contribute to the stability of the subject, with motor difficulties, during travel.
  • FIGURE 2 shows a side view of the apparatus 1 according to the present invention in a particular embodiment.
  • the figure intends to emphasize the particular profile of the coupling systems 5 and 5' and their arcs 7', greater than the arcs 7", and the presence of the telescopic systems that allow widening or narrowing the opening of the C-shaped profile defined by the portions 3, 16 and 2, of the present apparatus in a particular embodiment.
  • the upper portion 3 centrally has the telescopic system 12 which allows lengthening or contracting the portion 3 and fixing a specific length of said section, due to a common knob 14.
  • Said central section indeed comprises coaxial telescopic tubes.
  • the central portion 16 and the lower portion 2 are provided with an analogous telescopic system 13 provided with further knobs 14.
  • FIGURE 3 shows a schematic view of further components with which the apparatus 1, object of the present industrial invention patent application, is provided.

  • Figure 3 (b) is analogous to figure 3 (a) but shows a side view of the apparatus 1, whose automation is also ensured by the electrical system 20. The figure also shows the presence of the belt 26 present at the coupling systems 5 and 5'. Said belt(s) 26 is adapted to contribute to the stability of the user during the movements thereof.
  • FIGURE 4 shows a plan view of the apparatus 1 in a particular embodiment. More in detail the figure shows a plan view of the portion 16 of the apparatus 1, when said portion is provided with a hydraulic system 22 adapted to render said portion 16 openable. The opening occurs with respect to the hinge 24 present at the center of the central section of the portion 16. In order to contribute to its widening, the portion 16 has, at the ends of its central section, at least one knob 25 for each end. Said handles are adapted to adjust the telescopic extension and retraction of said central section.
  • Figure 4 (a) shows the portion 16 in closed configuration
  • figure 4 (b) shows said portion 16 in open configuration.
