Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lifter for physically disabled people, comprising at least one height-adjustable arm from which a tension element extends, the is movable under the armpits of the person to be lifted or transported.
- a lifter of the type mentioned at the outset can be found in WO 92/04003.
- the known Tension element represents a rigid loop in the area in which the loop with the Body of a person to be lifted or transported comes into contact, padded is.
- this leaves a quasi-linear contact with the lifting or lifting transport person with the result that there are pressure effects that are not only uncomfortable, but can also lead to injuries.
- the generic lifter according to WO 92/04003 also has a knee bracket that stationary from a stand. This has the disadvantage that unfavorable Leverage in relation to a person to be lifted can result when the knee bracket has a height that is too low or too high.
- GB 1 458 175 shows upturnable, fluid-fillable cuffs, in order to obtain a to lift lying person.
- the cuff has an outer casing, which is turned inside out to be pushed under the person to be lifted will.
- a dimensional stability of the cuff must be ensured since this ensures should be that the person remains in a horizontal position only by a certain amount is raised.
- the present invention is based on the problem of a lifter of the type mentioned Kind in such a way that forces are very evenly and extensively on the body of the transporting people. It should be ensured that through the Tensile element no crushing or even injuries such as broken ribs leading pressure effects can occur. Pressure points should also be avoided which can otherwise occur with frequent use of an appropriate lifter.
- the hose or its sections can have a diameter in the range between 5 cm and 20 cm. Not only the most diverse gases such as in particular can be used as the fluid Air are used, but also various liquids such as in particular Water. However, gaseous fluids have the advantage of being lighter in weight.
- a tube with the specified dimensions can easily be placed under the armpits be stored by people.
- the traction elements under both armpits as well as around the back or around the chest.
- Due to the elasticity of the Fluid-filled hose adapts its shape ideally to the body shape of the person. The contact surface is thus large and the surface load is largely evened out and low.
- the tube consists of fiber material such as Polyamide that is sealed with an elastomer.
- fiber material such as Polyamide that is sealed with an elastomer.
- Such hoses are also known as fire hoses.
- the fiber material is covered by an inside and / or outside applied coating sealed.
- This coating can be made of a rubber-like Material exist, which is applied in particular by vulcanization.
- the inner coating has the advantage that the coating due to the internal pressure of the fluid is pressed against the tube wall made of fiber material.
- the outer coating has the Advantage that it also forms a smooth washable outer cover.
- the hose is on its The ends are sandwiched between two strips. Especially when the hose is coated on the inside with an elastomer, the hose ends are already small Clamping forces well sealed.
- the connection of the strips to one another can for example be made by rivets or screws.
- the ends of the hose welded or glued.
- This variant is particularly advantageous if the Hose has no inner elastomer coating.
- the ends of the hose are preferably pressed together by folds.
- the folds not only hold the hose together at the end, but also form a protection of the Edges against mechanical damage.
- the folds are preferably C-shaped Profiles that are curved around the rounded end edges of the hose and on their shape are adjusted. As a result, corners and edges at the end of the hose and with it associated risk of injury avoided. The folds prevent the ends from wearing protected.
- tabs are at the ends of the hose intended. These tabs are preferably the flattened ends of the hose crimped. The tabs are preferably between sealing surfaces and end edges arranged, the surface between the terminal strips or the sealing surface welded or glued surface is to be understood.
- At least one tab there is preferably another between at least one tab and one suspension point Arranged tension element such as belt or tape, which is variable in length.
- tension element such as belt or tape
- the Use of flanges for the production of the tabs has the advantages that the edge of the Tab is protected from damage and the opening of the tab is rounded so that the other tension element is only exposed to a slight abrasion.
- the Arranging the tabs outside the sealing surfaces has the advantage that the tabs themselves do not need to be fluid tight.
- Lifters of the type described in the introduction are particularly intended for physically disabled people Lift people like wheelchair users from a sitting position and move them and then again to another seat, for example that of a toilet facility.
- the tension element is tightened and the person is lifted.
- the position of the lifting arm at which the person begins to lift off depends on how tall the person is and how high the seat is above the floor. As a result, the direction of pull is different. That can lead to that in particular tall people are less lifted than their upper body is pulled forward.
- Wheelchair users will usually not be able to stretch their legs themselves Buttocks not raised, but in the worst case pulled forward, so that the danger the person falls off the seat. To counteract this danger, it is known to attach a knee bracket to the support to support the knees.
- a lifter of the type described above with a knee holder is characterized by that both the lifting arm and the knee bracket from one using an electric motor or a hand crank, height-adjustable support of the lifter.
- the support can consist of a longitudinal profile such as a square tube, around which a second Longitudinal profile is arranged like a square tube, the first longitudinal profile by means of a Motor gear unit is adjustable and that the axis of the lifting arm and the knee bracket start from the second longitudinal profile.
- a seated person is lifted as follows: the lifter is retracted Support and lowered lifting arm in front of the person. The person puts their feet on Stand attached preferably slightly inclined foot surfaces and folds the tension element her body. The length of the support is increased until the tension member is tight around the body lies. The traction element is tightened by swiveling the lifting arms further up. By further Swiveling the lifting arms up, the person is lifted up. Now either Seat can be replaced or the lifter together with the person to a different location be transported. In conclusion, by lowering the lifting arm and If the support is shortened, lower it back to a seat, the tension element from the suspension point loosened and the lifter removed.
- a hanging member with at least one end of the Traction element indirectly or directly connected, the hanger a Has recess that has a nipple or hook attached to the suspension point can be attached.
- the recess can be closed on the whole or else open, so that the suspension element forms either a kind of tab or a kind of hook.
- the recess is preferably an elongated hole with an extension for carrying out a Nipple head, the elongated hole being located near and far from the tension element Has hole ends and the extension at a distance from the more distant hole end is arranged that the nipple is distant when the tensile element is subjected to tensile stress Hole end abuts and the nipple head only against the tensile stress along the Elongated hole is slidable to the nearer end of the hole.
- the nipple head is in his Dimensions so large that it fits through the extension, but not through the actual elongated hole.
- the elongated hole has an angle of two Legs on, the extension being arranged in the leg that is closer to Traction element lies, and the suspension member can be suspended over the nipple in such a way that the other legs aligned vertically or obliquely upwards towards the distant end of the hole is, regardless of whether the tensile stress of the tension element vertically downwards or is directed horizontally from the suspension point towards the person.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Lifter für körperbehinderte Personen, umfassend zumindest einen höhenverstellbaren Arm, von dem ein Zugelement ausgeht, das unter Achselhöhlen der zu hebenden oder zu transportierenden Person bewegbar ist.The present invention relates to a lifter for physically disabled people, comprising at least one height-adjustable arm from which a tension element extends, the is movable under the armpits of the person to be lifted or transported.
Bei den bekannten Liftern der eingangs genannten Art, werden als Zugelemente mehr oder weniger elastische Seile, Bänder oder Gurte verwendet. Um zu verhindern, dass diese die Körper der Personen insbesondere unter den Achselhöhlen quetschen, ist es bekannt, die Zugelemente zu polstern. Trotz zufwendiger Polsterung ist es allerdings kaum erreichbar, die Zugkräfte auf die Personen so zu übertragen, dass die Personen die Anwendung der Lifter nicht als unangenehm empfinden.In the known lifters of the type mentioned, more or are used as tension elements less elastic ropes, straps or straps used. To prevent this from happening Squeezing the body of people in particular under the armpits, it is known that Upholstery tension elements. Despite the lavish upholstery, it is hardly accessible, however Transfer tensile forces to the people so that the people use the lifter not feel uncomfortable.
Ein Lifter der eingangs genannten Art ist der WO 92/04003 zu entnehmen. Das bekannte Zugelement stellt eine starre Schlinge dar, die in dem Bereich, in dem die Schlinge mit dem Körper einer anzuhebenden bzw. zu transportierenden Person in Berührung kommt, gepolstert ist. Hierdurch bleibt jedoch eine quasi linienförmige Berührung mit der zu hebenden bzw. transportierenden Person mit der Folge bestehen, dass sich Druckeinwirkungen ergeben, die nicht nur unangenehm sind, sondern auch zu Verletzungen führen können. A lifter of the type mentioned at the outset can be found in WO 92/04003. The known Tension element represents a rigid loop in the area in which the loop with the Body of a person to be lifted or transported comes into contact, padded is. However, this leaves a quasi-linear contact with the lifting or lifting transport person with the result that there are pressure effects that are not only uncomfortable, but can also lead to injuries.
Losgelöst hiervon muß sichergestellt sein, dass die Zugelemente aus hygienischen Gründen gut reinigbar sind. Daher ist es erforderlich, dass die Zugelemente eine glatte, abwaschbare Oberfläche aufweisen. Somit müssen die Polster mit einem entsprechenden Überzug versehen sein.Detached from this, it must be ensured that the tension elements for hygienic reasons are easy to clean. Therefore, it is necessary that the tension elements have a smooth, washable Have surface. This means that the upholstery must be covered accordingly be.
Der gattungsbildende Lifter gemäß WO 92/04003 weist außerdem eine Kniehalterung auf, die ortsfest von einem Ständer ausgeht. Hierdurch ergibt sich der Nachteil, dass sich ungünstige Hebelkräfte in Bezug auf eine anzuhebende Person dann ergeben können, wenn die Kniehalterung eine Höhe aufweist, die zu niedrig oder zu hoch verläuft.The generic lifter according to WO 92/04003 also has a knee bracket that stationary from a stand. This has the disadvantage that unfavorable Leverage in relation to a person to be lifted can result when the knee bracket has a height that is too low or too high.
Aus der GB 2 140 773 B ist ein Lifter mit einer von einer Säule ausgehenden Kniehalterung bekannt, die stufenweise höhenverstellbar ist. Hierzu ist eine Steckverbindung vorgesehen.From GB 2 140 773 B there is a lifter with a knee bracket starting from a column known that is gradually adjustable in height. A plug connection is provided for this.
Der GB 1 458 175 sind umstülpbare, mit Fluid füllbare Manschetten zu entnehmen, um eine liegende Person anzuheben. Zu diesem Zweck weist die Manschette eine äußere Hülle auf, die von innen nach außen gestülpt wird, um unter die anzuhehende Person geschoben zu werden. Dabei muß eine Formstabilität der Manschette gewährleistet sein, da sichergestellt werden soll, dass die Person nur um einen bestimmten Betrag in horizontaler Lage bleibend angehoben wird.GB 1 458 175 shows upturnable, fluid-fillable cuffs, in order to obtain a to lift lying person. For this purpose, the cuff has an outer casing, which is turned inside out to be pushed under the person to be lifted will. A dimensional stability of the cuff must be ensured since this ensures should be that the person remains in a horizontal position only by a certain amount is raised.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Lifter der eingangs genannten Art so weiterzubilden, dass Kräfte sehr gleichmäßig und großflächig auf die Körper der zu transportierenden Personen übertragen werden. Dabei soll sichergestellt sein, dass durch das Zugelement keine Quetschungen erfolgen oder sogar zu Verletzungen wie Rippenbrüche führende Druckeinwirkungen auftreten können. Auch sollen Druckstellen vermieden werden, die ansonsten bei einer häufigen Benutzung eines entsprechenden Lifters auftreten können.The present invention is based on the problem of a lifter of the type mentioned Kind in such a way that forces are very evenly and extensively on the body of the transporting people. It should be ensured that through the Tensile element no crushing or even injuries such as broken ribs leading pressure effects can occur. Pressure points should also be avoided which can otherwise occur with frequent use of an appropriate lifter.
Erfindungsgemäß wird das Problem dadurch gelöst, dass das Zugelement einen mit einem Fluid gefüllten elastischen Schlauch umfasst, von dessen Enden Befestigungen am Hebearm führende Verbindungselemente ausgehen, und dass der Schlauch unterhalb der Achshöhlen der zu hebenden und/oder zu transportierenden Person verläuft und derart mit Fluid gefüllt und verformbar ist, dass sich der Schlauch im Kontaktbereich zu der Person an deren Körperform großflächig anpasst.According to the invention, the problem is solved in that the tension element has one with a Fluid-filled elastic hose comprises, from the ends of which attachments to the lifting arm leading fasteners run out, and that the hose is below the axle sockets of the person to be lifted and / or transported and thus filled with fluid and is deformable that the hose in the contact area to the person at their Body shape is largely adapted.
Der Schlauch oder dessen Abschnitte kann dabei einen Durchmesser im Bereich zwischen 5 cm und 20 cm aufweisen. Als Fluid können nicht nur die verschiedensten Gase wie insbesondere Luft Verwendung finden, sondern auch verschiedenste Flüssigkeiten wie insbesondere Wasser. Allerdings haben gasförmige Fluide den Vorteil des geringeren Gewichtes.The hose or its sections can have a diameter in the range between 5 cm and 20 cm. Not only the most diverse gases such as in particular can be used as the fluid Air are used, but also various liquids such as in particular Water. However, gaseous fluids have the advantage of being lighter in weight.
Ein Schlauch mit den angegebenen Dimensionen kann problemlos unter die Achselhöhlen von Personen gelagert werden. Insbesondere werden die Zugelemente unter beiden Achselhöhlen sowie um den Rücken oder um die Brust herum geführt. Infolge der Elastizität des fluidgefüllten Schlauches paßt sich dessen Form ideal an die Körperform der Personen an. Somit ist die Berührungsfläche groß und die Flächenbelastung weitgehend vergleichmäßigt und gering.A tube with the specified dimensions can easily be placed under the armpits be stored by people. In particular, the traction elements under both armpits as well as around the back or around the chest. Due to the elasticity of the Fluid-filled hose adapts its shape ideally to the body shape of the person. The contact surface is thus large and the surface load is largely evened out and low.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht der Schlauch aus Fasermaterial wie Polyamid, das mit einem Elastomer dichtend beschichtet ist. Derartige Schläuche sind auch als Feuerwehrschläuche bekannt. Das Fasermaterial wird durch eine innen und/oder außen angebrachte Beschichtung abgedichtet. Diese Beschichtung kann aus einem gummiartigen Material bestehen, das insbesondere durch Vulkanisation aufgebracht ist. Die innere Beschichtung hat dabei den Vorteil, dass die Beschichtung durch den Innendruck des Fluides gegen die Schlauchwand aus Fasermaterial gedrückt wird. Die äußere Beschichtung hat den Vorteil, daß sie zugleich einen glatten abwaschbaren äußeren Überzug bildet.According to a preferred embodiment, the tube consists of fiber material such as Polyamide that is sealed with an elastomer. Such hoses are also known as fire hoses. The fiber material is covered by an inside and / or outside applied coating sealed. This coating can be made of a rubber-like Material exist, which is applied in particular by vulcanization. The inner coating has the advantage that the coating due to the internal pressure of the fluid is pressed against the tube wall made of fiber material. The outer coating has the Advantage that it also forms a smooth washable outer cover.
Entsprechend einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist der Schlauch an seinen Enden zwischen zwei Leisten dichtend eingeklemmt. Insbesondere dann, wenn der Schlauch von innen mit einem Elastomer beschichtet ist, werden die Schlauchenden schon bei geringen Klemmkräften gut abgedichtet. Die Verbindung der Leisten untereinander kann beispielsweise durch Nieten oder Schrauben hergestellt sein.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the hose is on its The ends are sandwiched between two strips. Especially when the hose is coated on the inside with an elastomer, the hose ends are already small Clamping forces well sealed. The connection of the strips to one another can for example be made by rivets or screws.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Enden des Schlauches verschweißt oder verklebt. Diese Variante ist insbesondere dann vorteilhaft, wenn der Schlauch keine innere Elastomerbeschichtung aufweist.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the ends of the hose welded or glued. This variant is particularly advantageous if the Hose has no inner elastomer coating.
Vorzugsweise sind die Enden des Schlauches durch Falze zusammengedrückt. Die Falze halten nicht nur den Schlauch am Ende zusammen, sondern bilden auch einen Schutz der Kanten gegen mechanische Beschädigungen. Vorzugsweise weisen die flachen Enden des Schlauches abgerundete Kanten auf. Außerdem haben die Falze vorzugsweise C-förmige Profile, die um die abgerundeten Endkanten des Schlauches gekrümmt und an deren Form angepaßt sind. Dadurch werden Ecken und Kanten am Schlauchende und die damit verbundene Verletzungsgefahr vermieden. Durch die Falze werden die Enden vor Verschleiß geschützt.The ends of the hose are preferably pressed together by folds. The folds not only hold the hose together at the end, but also form a protection of the Edges against mechanical damage. Preferably, the flat ends of the Tube rounded edges. In addition, the folds are preferably C-shaped Profiles that are curved around the rounded end edges of the hose and on their shape are adjusted. As a result, corners and edges at the end of the hose and with it associated risk of injury avoided. The folds prevent the ends from wearing protected.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind an den Enden des Schlauches Laschen vorgesehen. Diese Laschen sind vorzugsweise den abgeflachten Enden des Schlauches eingebördelt. Die Laschen sind vorzugsweise zwischen Abdichtflächen und Endkanten angeordnet, wobei als Abdichtfläche die Fläche zwischen den Klemmleisten oder die verschweißte bzw. verklebte Fläche zu verstehen ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, tabs are at the ends of the hose intended. These tabs are preferably the flattened ends of the hose crimped. The tabs are preferably between sealing surfaces and end edges arranged, the surface between the terminal strips or the sealing surface welded or glued surface is to be understood.
Zwischen zumindest einer Lasche und einem Aufhängepunkt ist vorzugsweise ein weiteres Zugelement wie Gurt oder Band angeordnet, das in seiner Länge veränderbar ist. Die Verwendung von Bördeln zur Herstellung der Laschen hat die Vorteile, daß der Rand der Lasche vor Beschädigungen geschützt ist und die Öffnung der Lasche abgerundet ist, so daß das weitere Zugelement nur einer geringen Scheuerbeanspruchung ausgesetzt ist. Die Anordnung der Laschen außerhalb der Abdichtflächen hat den Vorteil, daß die Laschen selbst nicht fluiddicht zu sein brauchen. There is preferably another between at least one tab and one suspension point Arranged tension element such as belt or tape, which is variable in length. The Use of flanges for the production of the tabs has the advantages that the edge of the Tab is protected from damage and the opening of the tab is rounded so that the other tension element is only exposed to a slight abrasion. The Arranging the tabs outside the sealing surfaces has the advantage that the tabs themselves do not need to be fluid tight.
Selbstverständlich ist es vorteilhaft, den Schlauch mit einer verschließbaren Öffnung zum Nachfüllen von Fluid zu versehen.Of course, it is advantageous to the hose with a closable opening Refill fluid.
Lifter der eingangs beschriebenen Art sind inbesondere dazu bestimmt, körperbehinderte Personen wie Rollstuhlfahrer aus einer sitzenden Position anzuheben und sie zu bewegen und dann wieder auf einen anderen Sitz, beispielsweise demjenigen einer Toilettenanlage abzusetzen. Durch das Hochschwenken des Hehearmes oder der Hebearme um eine im wesentlichen horizontale Achse wird das Zugelement gestrafft und die Person gehoben. Nachteilig ist, dass die Position des Hebearmes, bei der das Anheben der Person beginnt, davon abhängig ist, wie groß die Person ist und wie hoch die Sitzfläche über dem Boden ist. Demzufolge ist die Zugrichtung unterschiedlich. Das kann dazu führen, dass insbesondere große Personen weniger gehoben als mit ihrem Oberkörper nach vorne gezogen werden. Da Rollstuhlfahrer in der Regel nicht in der Lage sind, ihre Beine selbst zu strecken, wird ihr Gesäß nicht angehoben, sondern ungünstigenfalls nach vorne gezogen, so dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Person vom Sitz herunterfällt. Um dieser Gefahr entgegenzuwirken, ist es bekannt, an der Stütze eine Kniehalterung zum Abstützen der Knie anzubringen.Lifters of the type described in the introduction are particularly intended for physically disabled people Lift people like wheelchair users from a sitting position and move them and then again to another seat, for example that of a toilet facility. By swinging the lifting arm or the lifting arms essentially one horizontal axis the tension element is tightened and the person is lifted. Disadvantageous is that the position of the lifting arm at which the person begins to lift off depends on how tall the person is and how high the seat is above the floor. As a result, the direction of pull is different. That can lead to that in particular tall people are less lifted than their upper body is pulled forward. There Wheelchair users will usually not be able to stretch their legs themselves Buttocks not raised, but in the worst case pulled forward, so that the danger the person falls off the seat. To counteract this danger, it is known to attach a knee bracket to the support to support the knees.
Ferner zeichnet sich ein Lifter zuvor beschriebener Art mit einer Kniehalterung dadurch aus, dass sowohl der Hebearm als auch die Kniehalterung von einer mittels eines Elektromotors oder einer Handkurbel höhenverstellbaren Stütze des Lifters ausgehen.Furthermore, a lifter of the type described above with a knee holder is characterized by that both the lifting arm and the knee bracket from one using an electric motor or a hand crank, height-adjustable support of the lifter.
Dabei kann die Stütze aus einem Längsprofil wie Vierkantrohr bestehen, um das ein zweites Längsprofil wie Vierkantrohr angeordnet ist, das zum ersten Längsprofil mittels einer Motorgetriebeeinheit verstellbar ist, und dass die Achse des Hebearms und die Kniehalterung von dem zweiten Längsprofil ausgehen. The support can consist of a longitudinal profile such as a square tube, around which a second Longitudinal profile is arranged like a square tube, the first longitudinal profile by means of a Motor gear unit is adjustable and that the axis of the lifting arm and the knee bracket start from the second longitudinal profile.
Das Heben einer sitzenden Person erfolgt folgendermaßen: der Lifter wird mit eingefahrener Stütze und abgesenktem Hebearm vor die Person gestellt. Die Person setzt ihre Füße auf am Ständer angebrachte vorzugsweise leicht geneigte Fußflächen auf und legt das Zugelement um ihren Körper. Die Länge der Stütze wird vergrößert, bis das Zugelemet straff um den Körper liegt. Durch weiteres Hochschwenken der Hebearme wird das Zugelement gestrafft. Durch weiteres Hochschwenken der Hebearme wird die Person nach oben gehoben. Nun kann entweder der Sitz ausgetauscht werden oder der Lifter mitsamt der Person an einen anderen Ort transportiert werden. Abschließend wird die Person durch Absenken des Hebearmes und eventuelles Verkürzen der Stütze wieder auf einen Sitz abgelassen, das Zugelement vom Aufhängepunkt gelöst und der Lifter entfernt.A seated person is lifted as follows: the lifter is retracted Support and lowered lifting arm in front of the person. The person puts their feet on Stand attached preferably slightly inclined foot surfaces and folds the tension element her body. The length of the support is increased until the tension member is tight around the body lies. The traction element is tightened by swiveling the lifting arms further up. By further Swiveling the lifting arms up, the person is lifted up. Now either Seat can be replaced or the lifter together with the person to a different location be transported. In conclusion, by lowering the lifting arm and If the support is shortened, lower it back to a seat, the tension element from the suspension point loosened and the lifter removed.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ein Einhängeglied mit zumindest einem Ende des Zugelementes mittelbar oder unmittelbar verbunden, wobei das Einhängeglied eine Ausnehmung aufweist, die über einen am Aufhängepunkt angebrachten Nippel oder Haken einhängbar ist. Dabei kann die Ausnehmung umfänglich geschlossen oder auch offen sein, so daß das Einhängglied entweder eine Art Lasche oder eine Art Haken bildet. Mittelbar ist das Einhängglied mit dem Ende des Zugelementes insbesondere dann verbunden, wenn es über ein weiteres Zugelement wie ein Band oder ein Gurt verbunden ist, dessen Länge vorzugsweise veränderbar ist. In a further embodiment of the invention, a hanging member with at least one end of the Traction element indirectly or directly connected, the hanger a Has recess that has a nipple or hook attached to the suspension point can be attached. The recess can be closed on the whole or else open, so that the suspension element forms either a kind of tab or a kind of hook. It is indirect Hooking member connected to the end of the tension element in particular when it is over a further tension element such as a band or a belt is connected, the length of which is preferably is changeable.
Vorzugsweise ist die Ausnehmung ein Langloch mit einer Erweiterung zum Durchführen eines Nippelkopfes, wobei das Langloch nahe und entfernt vom Zugelement angeordnete Lochenden aufweist und die Erweiterung mit Abstand vom entfernteren Lochende so angeordnet ist, daß der Nippel bei einer Zugbeanspruchung des Zugelementes am entfernteren Lochende anliegt und der Nippelkopf nur entgegen der Zugbeanspruchung entlang des Langloches zum näheren Lochende hin verschiebbar ist. Der Nippelkopf ist dabei in seinen Abmessungen so groß, daß er zwar durch die Erweiterung paßt, nicht aber durch das eigentliche Langloch.The recess is preferably an elongated hole with an extension for carrying out a Nipple head, the elongated hole being located near and far from the tension element Has hole ends and the extension at a distance from the more distant hole end is arranged that the nipple is distant when the tensile element is subjected to tensile stress Hole end abuts and the nipple head only against the tensile stress along the Elongated hole is slidable to the nearer end of the hole. The nipple head is in his Dimensions so large that it fits through the extension, but not through the actual elongated hole.
Nach einer besonderen Ausführungsform weist das Langloch einen Winkel mit zwei Schenkeln auf, wobei die Erweiterung in dem Schenkel angeordnet ist, der näher zum Zugelement liegt, und ist das Einhängeglied derart über den Nippel einhängbar, daß der andere Schenkel zum entfernten Lochende hin senkrecht oder schräg nach oben ausgerichtet ist, unabhängig davon, ob die Zugbeanspruchung des Zugelementes senkrecht nach unten oder horizontal vom Aufhängepunkt zur Person hin gerichtet ist.According to a special embodiment, the elongated hole has an angle of two Legs on, the extension being arranged in the leg that is closer to Traction element lies, and the suspension member can be suspended over the nipple in such a way that the other legs aligned vertically or obliquely upwards towards the distant end of the hole is, regardless of whether the tensile stress of the tension element vertically downwards or is directed horizontally from the suspension point towards the person.
Damit ist sichergestellt, daß sowohl das Eigengewicht des Einhängegliedes als auch das Gewicht des Zugelementes und die Zugkraft bewirken, daß der Nippel an dem vom Zugelement entfernt liegenden Ende des Langloches gehalten wird, das einen großen Abstand von der Erweiterung hat, durch die der Nippel heraus gleiten könnte. Es ist zwar sehr einfach, das Einhängeglied vom Nippel zu entfernen, dies setzt aber voraus, daß das Einhängeglied angehoben und der Nippel entlang des Langloches bis zur Erweiterung geschoben wird.This ensures that both the weight of the link and that Weight of the tension element and the tensile force cause the nipple to the Tension element is held at the distal end of the elongated hole, which is a large distance of the extension through which the nipple could slide out. While it's very easy to remove the link from the nipple, but this requires that the link raised and the nipple is pushed along the elongated hole to the extension.

Ein Lifter (10) zum Heben bzw. Transportieren einer körperbehinderten Person (12) ist z. B. an einer Raumdecke (14) über eine Schiene (16) mittels einer Rollvorrichtung (18) horizontal verstellbar. Die Rollvorrichtung (18) ist über ein Seil (20) und eine Winde (22) mit einem Hebearm (24) verbunden. Dabei wickelt die Winde (22) das Seil (20) auf und verkürzt so die Distanz zwischen dem Hebearm (24) und der Raumdecke (14). Die Winde ist von einem nicht dargestellten Motor angetrieben.A lifter (10) for lifting or transporting a physically disabled person (12) is e.g. B. horizontally on a ceiling (14) via a rail (16) by means of a rolling device (18) adjustable. The rolling device (18) is connected to a rope (20) and a winch (22) Lift arm (24) connected. The winch (22) winds up the rope (20) and thus shortens the Distance between the lifting arm (24) and the ceiling (14). The winds are not one shown motor driven.
Am Hebearm (24) sind Aufhängepunkte (26), (28) für Enden (30), (32) eines Schlauches (34) als Zugelement angeordnet. Der Schlauch (34) ist unter den Armen (36), (38) in der Nähe der Achselhöhlen (40), (42) der anzuhebenden Person (12) durchgeführt. Der Schlauch (34) kann dabei entweder um den Brustkorb oder um den Rücken der Person (12) geführt sein. Der Schlauch (34) ist mit einem Fluid wie Luft oder Wasser gefüllt. Die Oberfläche des Schlauches ist verformbar, so daß sie sich großflächig am Körper der Person anlegt. Insbesondere an Stellen, wo äußere Kräfte auf die Schlauchoberfläche einwirken, wird der Schlauch (34) eingedrückt, also beispielsweise unterhalb der Achselhöhlen (40), (42).On the lifting arm (24) there are suspension points (26), (28) for ends (30), (32) of a hose (34) arranged as a tension element. The hose (34) is under the arms (36), (38) near the Armpits (40), (42) of the person (12) to be lifted. The hose (34) can be guided either around the chest or around the back of the person (12). Of the Hose (34) is filled with a fluid such as air or water. The surface of the The hose is deformable, so that it lies on the body of the person over a large area. Especially in places where external forces act on the hose surface Tube (34) pressed in, for example below the armpits (40), (42).
Dadurch daß der Schlauch (34) sich an die Körperform anpaßt, werden für die Person (12) unangenehme hohe Krafteinwirkungen vermieden.Because the hose (34) adapts to the body shape, the person (12) uncomfortable high forces avoided.
Der Schlauch (34) hat vorzugsweise einen Durchmesser zwischen 5 cm und 20 cm, so daß er einerseits noch bequem unter die Achselhöhlen (40, 42) paßt und andererseits eine große Kontaktfläche mit dem Körper der Person (12) aufweist.The hose (34) preferably has a diameter between 5 cm and 20 cm, so that it fits comfortably under the armpits (40, 42) on the one hand and a large one on the other Has contact surface with the body of the person (12).
Der Schlauch (34) ist dicht für das Fluid. Außerdem ist er elastisch verformbar. Infolge des Druckes zwischen Schlauch (34) und Person (12) wird der Druck des im Schlauch (34) eingeschlossenen Fluides erhöht. Somit wird der Schlauch (34) etwas steifer, wenn eine Person (12) an ihm hängt.The hose (34) is tight for the fluid. It is also elastically deformable. As a result of Pressure between hose (34) and person (12) is the pressure of the hose (34) trapped fluids increased. Thus, the hose (34) is somewhat stiffer if one Person (12) hangs on him.
An den Enden (30) und (32) ist der Schlauch (34) zwischen je zwei Leisten (44) flach und dichtend eingeklemmt. Die Leisten sind jeweils über Verbindungselemente (46) wie Schrauben oder Nieten miteinander fest verbunden. Alternativ kann der Schlauch (34) an den Enden (30), (32) auch verschweißt oder verklebt sein. Vorzugsweise in der Nähe eines Endes (32) ist eine verschließbare Öffnung (48) zum Nachfüllen von Fluid angebracht. Die Enden (30), (32) des Schlauches (34) sind durch Falze (50), (52) zusammengedrückt und konvex gekrümmt, so daß keine scharfen Kanten vorhanden sind. Die Falze (50), (52) haben vorzugsweise ein C-förmiges Profil.At the ends (30) and (32) the hose (34) between two strips (44) is flat and tightly clamped. The strips are like connecting elements (46) Screws or rivets firmly connected. Alternatively, the hose (34) to the Ends (30), (32) can also be welded or glued. Preferably near one end (32) has a closable opening (48) for refilling fluid. The ends (30), (32) of the hose (34) are compressed by folds (50), (52) and are convex curved so that there are no sharp edges. Have the folds (50), (52) preferably a C-shaped profile.
An den Enden (30), (32) sind Laschen (54), (56) angeordnet. Die Laschen (54), (56) sind vorzugsweise abgerundet und ihre Ränder sind durch Bördel (58), (60) eingefaßt. Durch die Laschen (54), (56) sind vorzugsweise längenverstellbare Gurte (62), (64) geführt. Die Laschen (54), (56) sind zwischen einer Abdichtfläche zwischen den Leisten (44) und einer Endkante zwischen den Falzen (50), (52) angeordnet. Eine Vorrichtung zum Verstellen der Länge der Gurte (62), (64) ist nicht dargestellt.Tabs (54), (56) are arranged at the ends (30), (32). The tabs (54), (56) are preferably rounded and their edges are bordered by flanges (58), (60). Through the Tabs (54), (56) are preferably length-adjustable belts (62), (64). The tabs (54), (56) are between a sealing surface between the strips (44) and an end edge arranged between the folds (50), (52). A device for adjusting the length of the Belts (62), (64) is not shown.
Die Gurte (62), (64) sind an Einhängegliedern (66), (68) befestigt. Die Einhängeglieder (66), (68) sind an Nippeln (26), (28), die die Aufhängepunkte bilden, eingehängt.The straps (62), (64) are attached to suspension links (66), (68). The links (66), (68) are attached to nipples (26), (28) that form the suspension points.
In Fig. 3 ist ein Einhängeglied (68) dargestellt. Durch einen Schlitz (70) ist der Gurt (64) geführt. Das Einhängeglied (68), das plattenförmig ist, weist in seiner großen Fläche eine Ausnehmung in Form eines langen Loches (72) auf. Das Langloch (72) hat eine Erweiterung (74). Durch diese Erweiterung (74) ist ein Nippel (69) einführbar, der mit dem Hebearm (24) verbunden ist. Dabei ist der Nippelkopf (69) so groß, daß er zwar durch die Erweiterung (74) paßt, nicht aber durch das eigentliche Langloch (72). Das Langloch (72) weist ein Ende in Form der Erweiterung (74) auf, das nahe am Gurt (64) angeordnet ist. Ein anderes Ende (76) des Langloches (72) ist weiter entfernt vom Gurt (64) angeordnet.In Fig. 3, a link (68) is shown. The belt (64) is through a slot (70) guided. The hanging member (68), which is plate-shaped, has one in its large area Recess in the form of a long hole (72). The elongated hole (72) has an extension (74). Through this extension (74) a nipple (69) can be inserted, which is connected to the lifting arm (24) connected is. The nipple head (69) is so large that it can be expanded by the (74) fits, but not through the actual elongated hole (72). The elongated hole (72) has one end in Form of the extension (74), which is arranged close to the belt (64). Another End (76) the elongated hole (72) is arranged further away from the belt (64).
Das Langloch (72) ist winkelförmig ausgebildet mit zwei Schenkeln (78), (80), wobei der eine Schenkel (78) in Richtung des Gurtes (64) und der andere Schenkel (80) weg vom Gurt (64) gerichtet ist. Am Ende des Schenkels (78) ist die Erweiterung (74) angeordnet. Wenn der Nippel (69) in der Erweiterung (74) eingeführt ist, ist der Nippelschaft im Langloch (72) entlang der Schenkel (78), (80) zum Ende (76) des Langloches (72) schiebbar.The elongated hole (72) is angular in shape with two legs (78), (80), one of which Leg (78) in the direction of the belt (64) and the other leg (80) away from the belt (64) is directed. The extension (74) is arranged at the end of the leg (78). If the Nipple (69) is inserted in the extension (74), the nipple shaft is in the slot (72) can be pushed along the legs (78), (80) to the end (76) of the elongated hole (72).
Die Richtung der Zugbeanspruchung (82) weist nach unten, schräg nach unten oder horizontal nach links. Dementsprechend wird das Einhängeglied (68) entlang der Pfeile (84), (86), verschwenkt. Unabhängig davon, in welche Richtung die Zugbeanspruchung (82) wirkt, ist der Schenkel (80) des Langloches (72) zum Ende (76) hin nach oben gerichtet. Somit verhindert das Eigengewicht des Einhängegliedes (68) stets ein selbsttätiges Bewegen des Nippels (69) weg vom Ende (76) und hin zu der Erweiterung (74). Das Einhängeglied (68) kann somit vom Nippel (69) nur abgehängt werden, indem es angehoben wird.The direction of the tensile stress (82) points downwards, obliquely downwards or horizontally to the left. Accordingly, the link (68) along the arrows (84), (86), panned. Regardless of the direction in which the tensile stress (82) acts the leg (80) of the elongated hole (72) towards the end (76) is directed upwards. Consequently the dead weight of the hanging link (68) always prevents the Nipples (69) away from the end (76) and towards the extension (74). The link (68) can therefore only be suspended from the nipple (69) by lifting it up.
Fig. 2 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Lifters (10) zum Anheben einer sitzenden Person (12). Der Lifter (10) weist einen Ständer (100) auf, der über Rollen (102), (104) über den Boden (106) rollbar ist. Am Ständer (100) ist eine Fußauflagefläche (108) angebracht. Mit dem Ständer verbunden ist eine nach oben ragende Stütze (110). Die Höhe der Stütze (110) ist entlang des Doppelpfeiles (112) veränderbar. Die Stütze (110) besteht aus einem inneren Längsprofil (114) und einem dieses umfassenden äußeren Profil (116). Die Profile (114), (116) können kantige oder runde Hohlprofile sein. Das äußere Profil (116) ist entlang des inneren Profiles (114) verschiebbar. Eine Motor-Getriebe-Vorrichtung (118) bewirkt die Bewegung entlang des Pfeiles (112). Oben an der Stütze (110) ist ein Hebearm (120) angeordnet. Der Hebearm (120) ist schwenkbar um eine horizontale Achse (122). Der Hebearm (120) kann auch ein Doppelarm sein. Der Hebearm (120) wird entlang des Doppelpfeiles (124) verschwenkt. Diese Bewegung erfolgt mittels einer weiteren Motor-Getriebe-Vorrichtung (126), in der auch eine Batterie angeordnet sein kann. Der Lauf der Motoren (118), (126) wird über eine Handbedienung (128) gesteuert, die von der Person (12) selbst bedienbar ist. An dem höhenverstellbaren Längsprofil (116) ist eine Kniehalterung (130) angebracht.Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment of a lifter (10) for lifting a seated Person (12). The lifter (10) has a stand (100) which is connected to rollers (102), (104) the floor (106) is rollable. A footrest surface (108) is attached to the stand (100). With an upstanding support (110) is connected to the stand. The height of the support (110) can be changed along the double arrow (112). The support (110) consists of an inner Longitudinal profile (114) and an outer profile (116) comprising this. The profiles (114), (116) can be angular or round hollow profiles. The outer profile (116) is along the inner profile (114) slidable. A motor-gear device (118) does this Movement along the arrow (112). At the top of the support (110) is a lifting arm (120) arranged. The lifting arm (120) is pivotable about a horizontal axis (122). Of the Lift arm (120) can also be a double arm. The lifting arm (120) is moved along the Double arrow (124) pivoted. This movement takes place by means of a further motor-gear device (126), in which a battery can also be arranged. The course of the Motors (118), (126) is controlled via a manual control (128) by the person (12) is usable. A knee bracket (130) is attached to the height-adjustable longitudinal profile (116) appropriate.
Am Ende des Hebearmes (120) ist der Aufhängepunkt (132), der ein Nippel sein kann, angeordnet. Am Aufhängepunkt (132) ist über ein nicht dargestelltes Einhängeglied und einen Gurt ein Ende (134) eines Schlauches (34) befestigbar. Dabei ist der verbindende Gurt vorzugsweise in seiner Länge verstellbar. Der Schlauch (34) ist unter den Armen und um den Rücken der Person (12) herumgeführt, um diese vom Sitz (136) anheben zu können. Dabei ist das andere Ende des Schlauches (34) nicht dargestellt. Dieses kann mit einem weiteren nicht sichtbaren Aufhängepunkt am Hebearm (120) verbunden sein. Dieser weitere Aufhängepunkt ist von der Person (12) aus gesehen weiter links angeordnet.At the end of the lifting arm (120) is the suspension point (132), which can be a nipple, arranged. At the suspension point (132) is a not shown link and one Belt one end (134) of a hose (34) can be fastened. Here is the connecting belt preferably adjustable in length. The hose (34) is under and around the arms Back of the person (12) led around to be able to lift them from the seat (136). Here the other end of the hose (34) is not shown. This can be combined with another invisible suspension point on the lifting arm (120). This one more The suspension point is located further to the left as seen by the person (12).
Das Anheben der Person (12) erfolgt folgendermaßen:The person (12) is lifted as follows:
Der Lifter (10) wird zunächst so zur Person (12) positioniert, daß diese ihre Füße auf die Fußfläche (108) stellen kann und daß ihre Knie an der Kniehalterung (130) anliegen. Bei heruntergefahrener Stütze (116) und abgesenktem Hebearm (120) wird der Schlauch (34) um die Person (12) gelegt und an dem Aufhängepunkt (132) befestigt. Danach wird die Stütze (116) verlängert, bis der Schlauch straff ist. Der Hebearm (120) ist dabei nach unten geschwenkt. Die Länge des Schlauches (34) sollte dabei so sein, daß der Schlauch (34) zwar locker um den Körper der Person (12) herumführbar und an den Aufhängepunkten einhängbar ist, daß aber nur eine geringe Hubbwegung erforderlich ist, um den Schlauch (34) zu straffen.
