Definitions

the invention relates to a therapy couch according to the preamble of claim 1.
Such a therapy couch is known from DE-OS 30 16 387.
This therapy couch has a stand that firmly supports a joint for two couch elements articulated there. The angle of these two lying elements can be adjusted with respect to each other and with respect to the support. Together with other lying elements arranged on the outside, which are also pivotally mounted, this results in a quite flexible adjustment possibility, which is considerably better than that of numerous other constructions which have also become known.
the disadvantage is the comparatively high price, which is due to the fact that the lounger is designed to be complex. In addition, it tends to vibrate somewhat when the patient is on the patient and undergoes intensive treatment, which is often perceived as undesirable by the patient and also by the treating physiotherapist. It has been shown that the relatively low natural frequency that occurs with this therapy couch and heavy or sick patients leads to the fact that the patients become virtually seasick with the appropriate treatment, which is of course undesirable since they then tend to take the treatment cancel prematurely.
the couch known from DE-OS 33 23 310 is basically also relatively versatile adjustable. It also doesn't tend so much about vibrations. However, the construction is also quite complex and in particular the physiotherapist or therapist is prevented from having easy access to the patient due to the lateral structure. With this solution, the patient cannot perform certain exercises or can only perform them with corresponding dislocations, for example if a leg has to be angled sideways. It is therefore not surprising that this couch has not prevailed.
the invention has for its object to provide a therapy couch according to the preamble of claim 1, which is comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and yet has a reduced tendency to vibrate, although the adjustment options are particularly good.
the solution according to the invention is characterized by a stable support by means of solid supports which are not connected to one another in their course, so that the mobility is not restricted, but nevertheless provide massive support for the lying elements at clearly spaced apart locations.
the support points are preferably attached approximately in the middle of the respective lying element or even at the end remote from the main joint.
a bottom-side adjustment element can be mounted between a frame and one of the supports at a distance from its bottom-side joint, so that practically a triangle of force is stretched out, which forms a support that is extremely stable and torsionally and torsionally rigid even with one-sided loading.
the power cylinders can also be telescopic.
a height adjustability can be integrated into the frame for supporting the feet at the ends of the frame, for which purpose, for example, height adjustment cylinders known per se can also be used.
the configuration of the bed according to the invention with four bed surfaces, which can each be pivoted relative to one another by three joints, namely the main joint and the first and the second bed element joint, is particularly favorable. With this configuration, almost any position of the patient can be ensured depending on the desired treatment.
An advantageous development additionally has a joint for the foot-lying element at the distal end of this bed element. With this configuration, it is particularly advantageous that a particularly favorable extension in the pelvic region is achieved in that the foot-lying element moves away from the body when it is positioned against its frame, which is connected to the second joint. This ensures an extension of the lumbar spine, as is desirable in most cases. Nevertheless, this mounting is simpler than a trapezoidal mounting of the foot rest element, so that several advantages can be achieved with this configuration.
handrails both at the head and at the foot end, which are suitable for the storage of slings.
Such support rods are preferably mounted so that they can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically, the adjustability being ensured by simple mechanical means, such as a clamping sleeve and a clamping screw.
the therapy couch 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a plurality of couch elements 12, 14, 16, 18, each of which is articulated to one another.
the first lying element 14 is pivotally connected to the second lying element 16 via a main joint 20.
the first lying element 14 is also connected to the foot lying element 12 via a lying element joint 22.
the second lying element 16 is connected to the head lying element 18 via a second lying element joint 24.
the lying elements are aligned flush and flat, so that they form a straight lying surface on their upper side. It is understood that each bed element has upholstery, not shown here.
the first lying element 14 is supported on a frame 28 via a first support 26.
the second lying element 16 is supported on the frame 28 by a second support 30.
the support is provided via frame joints 32, 34.
the frame joints 32, 34 are preferably combined to form a joint arrangement 35, so that two sleeves run on a bearing rod which is attached to the frame.
the supports 26 and 30 are also connected in an articulated manner to the first and second lying elements 14, 16 via support joints 36, 38.
adjustment elements which can be designed as power cylinders, as manually operated spindles or in another way, be it as electrical transmitters, hydraulically or pneumatically operated cylinders or in any other way.
the first adjustment element 40 is articulated between the frame 28 and the support 26, namely at a considerable distance from the frame joint arrangement 35. It is designed so that - as can be seen from the other figures - the entire couch from the extreme position inclined to the right into the extreme position inclined to the left can be pivoted.
the adjustment mechanism is completely integrated under the bed, and the foot clearance of the treating therapist is also a particular advantage, which is due to the fact that the height adjustment is made via the frame 28 with four adjustable feet, two of which are shown 42 and 44 , is accomplished.
a second adjustment element 46 is articulated between the frame joint arrangement 35 and the second lying element 16. With this adjustment element, the adjustment angle of the main joint 20 can practically be adjusted, that is, the folding angle of the entire therapy couch 10. It is particularly favorable that an adjustment is independent of the actuation of the Adjustment element 40, that is, the total inclination angle of the therapy couch, takes place.
the articulation point of the second adjusting element 46 is formed between the main joint 20 and the second support joint 38. It goes without saying that, if necessary, the arrangement can also be interchanged or the second adjusting element 46 can also engage precisely on the main joint 20.
the support joint 36 is mounted quite close to the first support element joint 22, while the second support joint 38 is arranged approximately in the middle of the second support element 16.
This configuration results in a particularly favorable adjustment with automatic adaptation to the existing weights and lengths of body parts, especially since the upper body usually represents the heaviest part of the body, so that it is expediently supported in the middle, ie on the second support joint 38, while the legs are also should be supported approximately in the middle, so that the central support is optimal in the area of the support joint 36.
the pelvic bone should be arranged approximately above the main joint 20, so that the therapy couch 10 according to the invention thus simulates the joint functions of the body.
Further adjusting elements 48 and 50 are provided for adjusting the relative position of the foot-lying element 12 and the head-lying element 18. These are each hinged to a flange 52 or 54 on the adjacent lying element 14 or 16, so that there is a distance from the respective pivot point 22 or 24 and simple adjustment is possible. These actuating cylinders only require a comparatively low load-bearing capacity, since both the human head and the lower legs have a comparatively low weight. Side elements, not shown, of the head-lying element 18 can also be mounted so that they can be lowered.
the foot rest element 12 also has a special frame 56, which allows a separate pivoting to be carried out on an additional joint 58.
FIG. 2 shows a pivot position which differs from the pivot position according to FIG. 1 only in that the second adjusting element 46 has been actuated in the direction of shortening. This already leads to the desired buckling and the position according to FIG. 2.
FIG. 3 An actuation of the corresponding adjustment element in the opposite direction leads to the position according to FIG. 3.
the maximum adjustment angle of head and foot lying elements 12 and 18 is indicated by dashed lines, it being understood that the maximum adjustment angle lowered for these parts should be chosen so that there is no abutment on the side edges of the frame 28.
FIG. 4 Another position of the therapy couch 10 according to the invention can be seen from FIG. In this position, the patient's head is lowered and the legs are raised. A back stretching can be carried out via the specially designed foot-lying element, different stretching positions being indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 4.
FIG. 5 differs from the position shown in FIG. 1 only in the actuation of the first adjusting element 40 in the stretching direction.
the position shown in FIG. 6 requires actuation of the second adjustment element in the direction of contraction and actuation of the adjustment elements 48 and 50 in the same direction.
Fig. 7 Another of the countless and freely combinable possibilities of changing positions is out Fig. 7 can be seen.
an adjustment element which can be logically assigned, is opened up with each adjustment element, which leads to the fact that the operation by the therapist, which can take place, for example, via an electrical control panel, is greatly facilitated.
the adjustable couch according to the invention enables a loop treatment.
a holder is attached to the head-lying element 18, preferably at its outer end and on its underside, on which a frame is slidably mounted in the longitudinal direction of the head-lying element 18.
the head-lying element 18 is set essentially upright, so that the frame also extends upright as a support frame.
the unit comprising the support frame and the support frame can be pivoted as a whole.
a hook for receiving a sling, with which the patient can be subjected to variable forces in the desired manner in the manner of a ceiling sling device.
a corresponding arrangement of a sling treatment additive is also possible for the foot rest element 12.
