Abstract

A cushion (1) is placed in the bath and filled with pressure via the connection (4) whereupon the invalid, elderly person or the like sits on the seat cushion releases the pressure via the release valve (5) thereby lowering himself into the bath. On finishing his bath, the person again inflates the cushion so that he can now get out more easily. The pressure supply and pressure release mechanisms (4, 5) are pref. combined into one structural unit wherein the actual connection for supply of the pressure can be connected up to the tap inlet. Alternatively, a hand or foot controlled pump can be used to pump air into the cushion.

Description

"Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Erleichtern des Hinsetzens"Method and Apparatus for Facilitating Sitting Down

und Aufstehens in einer Badewanne?: Das Hinsetzen und Aufstehen in einer Badewanne bereitet besonders alten und kranken Menschen Schwierigkeiten und führt wegen der Unsicherheit dxser Personen oftmals zu Unfällen. and getting up in a bathtub ?: Sitting down and getting up in a bathtub causes difficulties and especially for old and sick people often leads to accidents because of the insecurity of these people.

Auf diese Weise wird sowohl das Hinsetzen in eine, als auch das Aufstehen aus einer Badewanne erheblich erleichtert, da das Hinsetzen in normaler Höhe erfolgt und durch Ablassen des Druckmittels der Körper bis auf den Boden der Badewanne abgesenkt wird, wobei beim Aufstehen durch Eingeben des Druckmittels in das Sitzkissen od.dgl. der Körper zunächst wieder in die Sitzstellung angehoben wird, aus welcher das Aufstehen ohne weiteres möglich ist.In order to eliminate these difficulties, it is proposed according to the invention, that a seat cushion or the like in the bathtub. inserted and filled with pressure medium whereupon the person taking a bath on the seat cushions or the like takes place, the pressure medium from the seat cushion or the like. drains and after completion the bath the seat cushion or the like. pressurized again with pressure medium. To this Sitting down in a bathtub as well as getting out of a bathtub becomes wise made considerably easier, as sitting down takes place at a normal height and by lowering of the pressure medium, the body is lowered to the bottom of the bathtub, wherein when standing up by entering the pressure medium in the seat cushion or the like. the body is first raised back into the sitting position, from which standing up without further is possible.

Zur Durchführung dieses Verfahrens eignet sich besonders ene Vorrichtung, welche aus einem Sitzkissen od.dgl. besteht, das mit einem Anschluß für die Zu- und Abfuhr eines Druckmittels versehen ist. Das Sitzkissen od.dgl. kann auch mit getrennten Anschlüssen versehen sein.Ene is particularly suitable for carrying out this process Contraption, which from a seat cushion or the like. exists, which is equipped with a connection for the supply and discharge of a pressure medium is provided. The seat cushion or the like. can also with separate connections.

Vorteilhaft ist der Anschluß für die Zufuhr des Drucknittels unmittelbar an eine Armatur der Badewanne anschließbar, beispielsweise an den Wassereinlauf, oder aber an die Brause. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, anstelle von Wasser als Druckmittel BuSt zu verwenden, welches mittels einer hand-oder fußbetätigten Pumpe in das Sitzkissen od.dgl. gedrückt wird.The connection for the supply of the pressure medium is advantageous directly Can be connected to a faucet in the bathtub, for example to the water inlet, or to the shower. However, it is also possible to use water as the pressure medium BuSt to use, which by means of a hand or foot operated pump in the seat cushion or the like. is pressed.

Das Sitzkissen od.dgl. kann ganz oder teilweise aus elasti-oder aber auch aus unelastischem schemlMaterial bestehen. So ist es zum Beispiel möglich, den Boden des Sitzkissens od.dgl. aus festem, unnachgiebigem Material herzustellen und den Oberteil aus elastischem Material.The seat cushion or the like. can be wholly or partially made of elastic or else also consist of inelastic schema material. For example, it is possible the bottom of the seat cushion or the like. made of strong, unyielding material and the upper part made of elastic material.

Um einaimöglichst sicheren Halt zu erreichen, ist es vorteilhaft, die Oberseite des Sitzkissens od.dgl. in ihrer Form der des Sitzbereichs des menschlichen Körpers anzupassen.In order to achieve the most secure hold possible, it is advantageous to the top of the seat cushion or the like. in their shape that of the seating area of the human Body adapt.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist nicht nur einfache aufgebaut, sondern läßt sich auch in einfacher und schneller Weise handhaben, so daß das Einsetzen und Aufstehen in der Badewanne, insbesondere für ältere und kranke Menschen, ganz erheblich erleichtert wird.The device according to the invention is not only of simple construction, but can also be handled in a simple and quick manner, so that the insertion and getting up in the bathtub, especially for the elderly and sick, quite is made much easier.

Ein Ausführungabeispiel der Erfindung ist an Hand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, und zwar zeigt diese ein Sitzkissen perspektivischer Darstellung.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in more detail with reference to the drawing explained, namely this shows a seat cushion in perspective.

Mit 1 ist das Sitzkissen bezeichnet, dessen Bodenbereich 2 aus festem, unnachgiebigem Material besteht. Die Oberseite 3 des Sitzkissens ist aus elastischem Material hergestellt und in etwa der Form des Sitzbereichs des menschlichen Eörpers angepaßt, An der einen Seite des Sitzkissens 1 ist ein Anschlußfür die Zufuhr des Druckutittels und an der anderen Seite eine Ablaßeinrichtung 5 für das DruckmittL vorgesehen.1 with the seat cushion is referred to, the bottom area 2 of solid, unyielding material. The top 3 of the seat cushion is made of elastic Made of material and roughly the shape of the seating area of the human body adapted, On one side of the seat cushion 1 is a connection for the supply of the Druckutittels and on the other side a discharge device 5 for the DruckmittL intended.

Die Zufuhr- 4 und Ablaßeinrichtuag 5 können auch zu einem einzigen Bauteil zusammengevaßt sein.The supply 4 and 5 outlet device can also be a single Component be vassed together.
