Definitions
- the invention relates to a bathtub lift according to the preamble of claim 1 as known from DE-U-8 807 808.
- the bathtub lift has a floor frame, a guide frame attached to it and a lifting plate supported by this frame. Between this lifting plate and the floor frame there is a lifting device which can be operated with pressurized water.
- a control device controls the filling and emptying of the lifting device.
- the guide frame consists of two pairs of scissor arms arranged side by side. The scissor arms of each pair of arms are pivotally connected to one another in the middle and each have a fixed pivot bearing on the base frame and the lifting plate as well as a sliding bearing that can be moved on a rail.
- a device is provided through which a shut-off valve interrupts the water supply to the lifting device when a predetermined lifting height is reached.
- a bathtub insert consisting of a floor frame, a seat plate, a guide device consisting of two pairs of scissor arms between the floor frame and the seat plate and a hose that can be filled with water is known as a lifting device.
- the closed ends of the hose that can be filled with water are each attached to the base frame and the seat plate.
- a roller-like flexible cover is provided between the seat plate and floor frame, the width of which is almost equal to that of the floor frame and one end of which is attached to a seat plate under the floor frame and the other end of which is on one of the floor frame and the seat plate rotatably mounted winding tube is attached, in which a torsion spring is inserted with a bias that holds the cover even in the lowered position of the seat plate in a taut state.
- This type of bathtub insert is designed to prevent injury to users.
- Both known bathtub lifts have the disadvantage that the lowering of the seat into the bathtub is not adapted to the natural sequence of movements. In addition, getting in and out of the tub using the well-known bathtub lifts is relatively tedious.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to design a bathtub lift of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a physiologically more favorable and also safer seat lowering can be achieved. In addition, getting on and off and operating the bath lift should be made easier.
- the ergonomic sequence of movements during lifting and lowering is taken into account by the task solution according to the invention, in that the seat in the bath lift according to the invention is automatically moved backwards when lowering, which is particularly advantageous for persons with walking difficulties.
- the inventive design also ensures that when lowering the seat automatically tilts slightly backwards, which ensures a secure hold of the lowered person. Getting in and out is made much easier by the rotatable and longitudinally displaceable seat. All moving parts are easy to cover, avoiding the risk of injury.
- FIG. 1 shows in FIG. 1 a bathtub lift 2 with a floor frame 4, a seat 6, two side front struts 10 and two side rear struts 12, the ends of which are rotatably connected to the floor frame 4 and the seat 6, with a lifting device 14 in the form of a closed hose which can be filled with pressurized water via a lift feed line 16, the ends of which are each attached to the seat and to the floor frame, and with a backrest 18.
- suction cups 20 under the floor frame.
- the upper pivot points 10 'of the front struts 10 are offset in the raised sitting position (FIG. 1c) relative to the lower pivot points 10''or arranged approximately vertically above the lower pivot points 10'', so that the struts in this sitting position are inclined at the rear or arranged vertically.
- the hose lifting device 14 is oppositely inclined forward; but it can also act vertically.
- the front struts can, for example, enclose an angle of 70 ° in the raised sitting position with the floor frame, cf. Fig. 1c.
- the rear struts 12 are designed slightly longer than the front struts 10, the upper pivot points 12 'of the struts 12 being offset to the rear relative to the lower pivot points 12' 'and the distance between the upper pivot points 10' and 12 'of the struts 10, 12 is greater than the distance between the lower pivot points 10 '' and 12 '' of the struts, in such a way that the seat in the raised position (see Fig. 1c) is arranged approximately horizontally.
- the seat 6 is moved rearward when lowering and forward when lifting.
- the seat is slightly tilted backwards when lowering, for example by approximately 3 °, and moved back into the horizontal when it is raised, as can be seen in FIGS. 1b and 1c.
- the seat movement backwards when lowering and forwards when lifting takes into account the natural ergonomic movement of the person using the bath lift.
- the automatic inclination adjustment when lowering has a seat-centering effect and ensures a very secure hold of the person during the lowering process.
- the adjustment of the seat angle is canceled again, making it easier to get out.
- the seat is designed to be rotatable and / or longitudinally displaceable, which is shown in the other figures of the drawing.
- the seat 6 has a turntable 22 which is rotatable about a rotary mushroom 24 which is arranged on an intermediate plate 26 which is on a Subframe 28 can be moved with the aid of sliding guides 30, cf. 2 to 10.

- control segment 128 actuates the valves 98 and 94 assigned to the connections 80 and 76, so that a connection is established between the hose lifting device 14 and the drain connection 76 for lowering the bath tub lift. If the control segment is rotated 90 ° clockwise from the position shown (FIG. 16), a zero position is reached in which the shower connection 74 and the drain connection 76 are opened and connected to one another. Upon further rotation into the 180 ° position, the water supply connection 78 and the shower connection 74 are connected to one another.
- valves 96 and 98 assigned to the water inlet connection 78 and the lift inlet connection 80 are opened so that pressurized water can flow via the connection 78, the distribution chamber 120 and the connection 80 into the hose lifting device 14 for lifting the bathtub lift.
- valves 92, 94, 96, 98 are simultaneously designed as pressure relief valves. If, for example, during the lifting process, that is to say when connections 78 and 80 are connected via valves 96 and 98, a greater pressure than intended occurs, valves 92 and 94 which are not actuated open and discharge the excess amount of water into the bathtub. This safety function is guaranteed in every position of the control segment.
- the lift fitting 70 has a suction cup 140 on the side opposite the operating lever 130, with which the fitting 70 can be attached to the tiled wall or to the bath wall at any point, in particular at the most convenient location for operating the bath tub lift.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Badewannenlift gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 wie er aus DE-U-8 807 808 bekannt ist.The invention relates to a bathtub lift according to the preamble of
Durch die DE-PS 33 24 294 ist ein Badewannenlift für Behinderte bekannt. Der Badewannenlift weist einen Bodenrahmen, ein an diesem angebrachtes Führungsgestell und eine von diesem Gestell abgestützte Hubplatte auf. Zwischen dieser Hubplatte und dem Bodenrahmen befindet sich eine mit Druckwasser betätigbare Hubeinrichtung. Eine Steuereinrichtung steuert das Füllen und Entleeren der Hubeinrichtung. Das Führungsgestell besteht aus zwei nebeneinander im Abstand angeordneten Scherenarmpaaren. Die Scherenarme jedes Armpaares sind in der Mitte miteinander schwenkbar verbunden und weisen an den Enden jeweils ein festes Schwenklager am Bodenrahmen und der Hubplatte sowie jeweils ein an einer Schiene verschiebbares Schiebelager auf. Es ist eine Einrichtung vorgesehen, durch die ein Absperrventil bei Erreichen einer vorbestimmten Hubhöhe die Wasserzufuhr in die Hubeinrichtung unterbricht.From DE-PS 33 24 294 a bath lift for the disabled is known. The bathtub lift has a floor frame, a guide frame attached to it and a lifting plate supported by this frame. Between this lifting plate and the floor frame there is a lifting device which can be operated with pressurized water. A control device controls the filling and emptying of the lifting device. The guide frame consists of two pairs of scissor arms arranged side by side. The scissor arms of each pair of arms are pivotally connected to one another in the middle and each have a fixed pivot bearing on the base frame and the lifting plate as well as a sliding bearing that can be moved on a rail. A device is provided through which a shut-off valve interrupts the water supply to the lifting device when a predetermined lifting height is reached.
Durch die DE-PS 35 08 056 ist ein Badewanneneinsatz, bestehend aus einem Bodengestell, einer Sitzplatte, einer aus zwei Scherenarmpaaren bestehenden Führungseinrichtung zwischen Bodengestell und Sitzplatte sowie einem mit Wasser füllbaren Schlauch als Hubeinrichtung bekannt. Die geschlossenen Enden des mit Wasser füllbaren Schlauches sind je am Bodengestell und an der Sitzplatte befestigt.From DE-PS 35 08 056 a bathtub insert consisting of a floor frame, a seat plate, a guide device consisting of two pairs of scissor arms between the floor frame and the seat plate and a hose that can be filled with water is known as a lifting device. The closed ends of the hose that can be filled with water are each attached to the base frame and the seat plate.
An der Vorderseite des Badewanneneinsatzes ist zwischen Sitzplatte und Bodengestell eine rolloartige flexible Abdeckung vorgesehen, deren Breite nahezu gleich derjenigen des Bodengestells ist und deren eines Ende an einer Sitzplatte unter dem Bodengestell befestigt ist und deren anderes Ende auf einem, am Bodengestell bzw. an der Sitzplatte drehbar gelagerten Wickelrohr befestigt ist, in das eine Torsionsfeder mit einer die Abdeckung auch in der Tiefstellung der Sitzplatte in straffem Zustand haltenden Vorspannung eingesetzt ist. Durch diesen so ausgebildeten Badewanneneinsatz soll eine Verletzung der Benutzer mit Sicherheit vermieden werden.At the front of the bathtub insert, a roller-like flexible cover is provided between the seat plate and floor frame, the width of which is almost equal to that of the floor frame and one end of which is attached to a seat plate under the floor frame and the other end of which is on one of the floor frame and the seat plate rotatably mounted winding tube is attached, in which a torsion spring is inserted with a bias that holds the cover even in the lowered position of the seat plate in a taut state. This type of bathtub insert is designed to prevent injury to users.
Beide bekannten Badewannenlifte haben den Nachteil, daß das Absenken der Sitzfläche in die Badewanne nicht dem natürlichen Bewegungsablauf angepaßt ist. Außerdem gestaltet sich das Einsteigen und Aussteigen aus der Wanne mit Hilfe der bekannten Badewannenlifte relativ mühsam.Both known bathtub lifts have the disadvantage that the lowering of the seat into the bathtub is not adapted to the natural sequence of movements. In addition, getting in and out of the tub using the well-known bathtub lifts is relatively tedious.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht deshalb darin, einen Badewannenlift der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß eine physiologisch günstigere und auch sicherere Sitzabsenkung erreichbar ist. Außerdem soll das Ein- und Aussteigen und die Bedienung des Badewannenliftes erleichtert werden.The object of the present invention is therefore to design a bathtub lift of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that a physiologically more favorable and also safer seat lowering can be achieved. In addition, getting on and off and operating the bath lift should be made easier.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Ausbildung gemäß Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the training according to the characterizing part of
Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabenlösung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous and expedient developments of the task solution according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabenlösung wird der ergonomische Bewegungsablauf beim Heben und Senken berücksichtigt, indem beim erfindungsgemäßen Badewannenlift der Sitz beim Absenken automatisch nach hinten bewegt wird, was für gehbehinderte Personen von besonderem Vorteil ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung wird außerdem erreicht, daß beim Senken sich die Sitzfläche selbsttätig nach hinten geringfügig neigt, wodurch ein sicherer Halt der abgesenkten Person gewährleistet wird. Das Ein- und Aussteigen wird durch die Dreh- und Längsverschiebbarkeit des Sitzes wesentlich erleichtert. Alle beweglichen Teile sind leicht abdeckbar, wodurch eine Verletzungsgefahr vermieden ist.The ergonomic sequence of movements during lifting and lowering is taken into account by the task solution according to the invention, in that the seat in the bath lift according to the invention is automatically moved backwards when lowering, which is particularly advantageous for persons with walking difficulties. The inventive design also ensures that when lowering the seat automatically tilts slightly backwards, which ensures a secure hold of the lowered person. Getting in and out is made much easier by the rotatable and longitudinally displaceable seat. All moving parts are easy to cover, avoiding the risk of injury.

Gleiche Bauteile in den Figuren der Zeichnung sind mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.Identical components in the figures of the drawing are provided with the same reference symbols.
Die Zeichnung zeigt in der Fig. 1 einen Badewannenlift 2 mit einem Bodenrahmen 4, einem Sitz 6, zwei seitlichen vorderen Streben 10 und zwei seitlichen hinteren Streben 12, deren Enden drehbar mit dem Bodenrahmen 4 und dem Sitz 6 verbunden sind, mit einer Hubeinrichtung 14 in Form eines mit Druckwasser über eine Liftzuleitung 16 füllbaren geschlossenen Schlauches, dessen Enden jeweils am Sitz und am Bodenrahmen angebracht sind, sowie mit einer Rückenlehne 18.The drawing shows in FIG. 1 a
Unter dem Bodenrahmen befinden sich zwei Saugnäpfe 20.There are two
Die oberen Drehpunkte 10' der vorderen Streben 10 sind in der angehobenen Sitzposition (Fig. 1c) relativ zu den unteren Drehpunkten 10'' nach hinten versetzt oder etwa senkrecht über den unteren Drehpunkten 10'' angeordnet, so daß die Streben in dieser Sitzposition nach hinten geneigt oder senkrecht angeordnet sind. Die Schlauch-Hubeinrichtung 14 ist entgegengesetzt nach vorn geneigt angeordnet; sie kann aber auch senkrecht wirken.The upper pivot points 10 'of the front struts 10 are offset in the raised sitting position (FIG. 1c) relative to the lower pivot points 10''or arranged approximately vertically above the lower pivot points 10'', so that the struts in this sitting position are inclined at the rear or arranged vertically. The
Die vorderen Streben können beispielsweise mit dem Bodenrahmen einen Winkel von 70° in der angehobenen Sitzposition einschließen, vgl. Fig. 1c.The front struts can, for example, enclose an angle of 70 ° in the raised sitting position with the floor frame, cf. Fig. 1c.
Die hinteren Streben 12 sind geringfügig länger als die vorderen Streben 10 ausgebildet, wobei die oberen Drehpunkte 12' der Streben 12 relativ zu den unteren Drehpunkten 12'' nach hinten versetzt angeordnet sind und der Abstand zwischen den oberen Drehpunkten 10' und 12' der Streben 10, 12 größer als der Abstand zwischen den unteren Drehpunkten 10'' und 12'' der Streben gewählt ist, und zwar so, daß der Sitz in der angehobenen Stellung (siehe Fig. 1c) etwa waagerecht angeordnet ist.The rear struts 12 are designed slightly longer than the front struts 10, the upper pivot points 12 'of the
Durch diese Konstruktion wird der Sitz 6 beim Absenken nach hinten und beim Heben nach vorn bewegt. Gleichzeitig wird der Sitz beim Absenken leicht nach hinten geneigt, beispielsweise um ca. 3°, und beim Anheben wieder in die Horizontale bewegt, wie dies den Fig. 1b und 1c entnehmbar ist.With this construction, the
Die Sitzbewegung nach hinten beim Absenken und nach vorn beim Anheben berücksichtigt den natürlichen ergonomischen Bewegungsablauf der den Badewannenlift benutzenden Person. Die selbsttätige Neigungsverstellung beim Absenken wirkt sitzzentrierend und gewährleistet einen sehr sicheren Halt der Person beim Absenkvorgang. Beim Anheben wird die Verstellung der Sitzneigung wieder aufgehoben, wodurch das Aussteigen erleichtert wird.The seat movement backwards when lowering and forwards when lifting takes into account the natural ergonomic movement of the person using the bath lift. The automatic inclination adjustment when lowering has a seat-centering effect and ensures a very secure hold of the person during the lowering process. When lifting, the adjustment of the seat angle is canceled again, making it easier to get out.
Das Ein- und Aussteigen wird noch dadurch verbessert, daß der Sitz drehbar und/oder längsverschiebbar ausgebildet ist, was in den weiteren Figuren der Zeichnung dargestellt ist. Hierzu weist der Sitz 6 einen Drehschemel 22 auf, der um einen Drehpilz 24 drehbar ist, welcher auf einer Zwischenplatte 26 angeordnet ist, die auf einem Hilfsrahmen 28 mit Hilfe von Gleitführungen 30 verschiebbar ist, vgl. Fig. 2 bis 10. Der Drehschemel 22 weist vorn eine Hygieneausnehmung 31 auf. Zur Arretierung des Sitzes in der jeweiligen Position dienen Verriegelungen 32 und/oder 32', vgl. Fig. 4 und 4a. Die Verriegelung 32 besteht beispielsweise aus einem in Arretierungsstellung vorgespannten Schieber, der von der Hygieneausnehmung 31 aus betätigbar ist zur Arretierung von Längsverschiebepositionen.Getting in and out is further improved in that the seat is designed to be rotatable and / or longitudinally displaceable, which is shown in the other figures of the drawing.

In den Fig. 14, 15 und 16 ist eine Lift-Armatur 70 zum Anschluß des Badewannenliftes 2 (Fig. 1) an eine nicht dargestellte Badewannenarmatur dargestellt. Die Lift-Armatur 70 ist als Mehrwegeventil ausgebildet und umfaßt ein Gehäuse 72 mit mehreren Anschlüssen, hier vier Anschlüssen 74, 76, 78 und 80.14, 15 and 16, a lift fitting 70 for connecting the bath lift 2 (FIG. 1) to a bath fitting, not shown, is shown. The lift fitting 70 is designed as a multi-way valve and comprises a
An den Anschluß 80 wird beispielsweise die Liftzuleitung 16 (siehe Fig. 1) zum Heben des Badewannenliftes, an den Anschluß 78 eine Wasserzufuhrleitung, die an die Badewannenarmatur angeschlossen wird, und an den Anschluß 76 eine Ablaßleitung zum Entleeren der Schlauch-Hubeinrichtung 14 angeschlossen zum Absenken des Badewannenliftes.At the

Die Anschlüsse 74, 76, 78, 80 führen jeweils in den Anschlüssen zugeordnete untere Kammern 82, 84, 86, 88, die über in einer Trennwand 90 angeordnete Ventile 92, 94, 96, 98 mit einer oberen Verteilerkammer 120 in Verbindung stehen.The
Die Ventile umfassen jeweils einen in der Trennwand 90 ausgebildeten Ventilsitz 122 und einen kugeligen Ventilkörper 124, der durch eine Feder 126 in Schließstellung vorgespannt ist.The valves each comprise a
Die Betätigung der Ventile erfolgt durch ein in der Verteilerkammer 120 drehbar angeordnetes Steuersegment 128, das über einen Bedienhebel 130 betätigbar ist und durch das die Ventilkörper 124 gegen die Kraft der Federn 126 in die Ventiloffenstellung bewegbar sind.The valves are actuated by a
In den Fig. 14 und 16 betätigt das Steuersegment 128 die den Anschlüssen 80 und 76 zugeordneten Ventile 98 und 94, so daß eine Verbindung zwischen Schlauch-Hubeinrichtung 14 und Ablaßanschluß 76 zum Absenken des Badewannenliftes hergestellt ist. Wird das Steuersegment im Uhrzeigersinn aus der dargestellten Position (Fig. 16) um 90° weitergedreht, erreicht man eine Nullstellung, in der der Duschanschluß 74 und der Ablaßanschluß 76 geöffnet und miteinander verbunden sind. Bei weiterer Drehung in die 180°-Stellung sind der Wasserzufuhranschluß 78 und der Duschanschluß 74 miteinander verbunden. Bei weiterer Drehung in die 270°-Stellung werden die dem Wasserzulaufanschluß 78 und dem Liftzuleitungsanschluß 80 zugeordneten Ventile 96 und 98 geöffnet, so daß Druckwasser über den Anschluß 78, die Verteilerkammer 120 und den Anschluß 80 in die Schlauch-Hubeinrichtung 14 strömen kann zum Heben des Badewannenliftes.14 and 16, the
Die Zuordnung der Anschlüsse ist beliebig austauschbar.The assignment of the connections is interchangeable.
