Exposé général de l'inventionGeneral presentation of the invention
Le problème que la présente invention se propose de résoudre réside dans une amélioration des dispositifs de l'état de la technique.The problem that the present invention proposes to solve lies in an improvement of the devices of the state of the art.
Dans l'invention, la solution du problème précité consiste en un dispositif pour lever et transférer des corps comprenant un élément de base constitué de deux parallélogrammes identiques possédant une largeur commune, centrale, montée mobile en translation selon une direction verticale, chaque angle des parallélogrammes formant un point d'articulation autour duquel la longueur et la largeur qui le forment peuvent librement tourner; le dispositif comprenant en outre des premiers et seconds moyens de saisie de corps qui sont respectivement fixés aux deux angles inférieures externes de l'élément de base.In the invention, the solution of the aforementioned problem consists of a device for lifting and transferring bodies comprising a base element consisting of two identical parallelograms having a common central width, mounted to move in translation in a vertical direction, each angle of the parallelograms forming a point of articulation around which the length and the width which form it can freely rotate; the device further comprising first and second body gripping means which are respectively attached to the two outer lower corners of the base member.
Comme on pourra mieux le constater sur les figures jointes à la présente demande, lorsque l'on exerce une traction de bas en haut sur la partie centrale du dispositif selon l'invention, p. ex. au moyen d'un palan, la largeur centrale se déplace vers le haut et les extrémités externes inférieures des parallélogrammes se rapprochent selon une direction sensiblement horizontale, permettant de la sorte de saisir le corps. Avantageusement, lesdits moyens de saisie sont montés pivotants autour desdits angles inférieurs et comprennent chacun une extrémité supérieure et une extrémité inférieure, ladite extrémité supérieure étant fixée et montée coulissante sur la largeur centrale, ladite extrémité inférieure comprenant un organe support disposée selon une direction horizontale.As can be seen more clearly in the figures appended to the present application, when pulling from bottom to top on the central part of the device according to the invention, p. ex. by means of a hoist, the central width moves upwards and the lower outer ends of the parallelograms approach in a substantially horizontal direction, thereby allowing the body to be grasped. Advantageously, said gripping means are pivotally mounted around said lower angles and each comprise an upper end and a lower end, said upper end being fixed and slidably mounted on the central width, said lower end comprising a support member disposed in a horizontal direction.
De préférence, le dispositif selon l'invention est doté de deux éléments de base disposés à chaque extrémité du dispositif.Preferably, the device according to the invention is provided with two basic elements arranged at each end of the device.
Plus de deux éléments de base peuvent également être utilisés.More than two basic elements can also be used.
Selon une variante préférentielle de l'invention, les éléments de base sont fixés l'un à l'autre par au moins un segment horizontal dont les extrémités sont fixées sur l'un desdits angles.According to a preferred variant of the invention, the basic elements are fixed to one another by at least one horizontal segment whose ends are fixed on one of said angles.
Dans un mode de réalisation, un segment horizontal est fixé aux angles centraux supérieurs, ledit segment horizontal comprenant par ailleurs un élément de saisie, p. ex. un anneau, adapté pour être saisi par un élément de préhension, p. ex. un crochet, d'un système de levage tel que palan.In one embodiment, a horizontal segment is attached to the upper center corners, said horizontal segment further comprising an input element, e.g. ex. a ring adapted to be grasped by a gripping element, e.g. ex. a hook, a hoist system such as hoist.
Avantageusement, l'élément d'accrochage est monté coulissant le long dudit segment horizontal, ce qui permet d'ajuster la stabilité du dispositif en fonction du centre de gravité du corps.Advantageously, the fastening element is slidably mounted along said horizontal segment, which makes it possible to adjust the stability of the device as a function of the center of gravity of the body.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement intéressant, le dispositif comprend des moyens de blocage, p. ex. un amortisseur hydraulique, adaptés de manière à bloquer ou débloquer le mouvement des moyens de saisie.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the device comprises locking means, e.g. ex. a hydraulic damper adapted to lock or unlock the movement of the gripping means.
De préférence, l'organe support est allongé et sa largeur a une épaisseur qui décroît en direction du centre du dispositif. L'introduction de l'organe support sous le patient étant de la sorte rendue plus aisée. Exposé détaillé de l'inventionPreferably, the support member is elongate and its width has a thickness which decreases towards the center of the device. The introduction of the support member under the patient is thereby made easier. Detailed exposition of the invention
L'invention est décrite plus en détail ci-après au moyen d'exemples illustrés par les figures suivantes :The invention is described in more detail below by means of examples illustrated by the following figures:
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique de l'élément de base selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the basic element according to the invention.
La figure 2 montre un exemple de dispositif selon l'invention préalablement à la saisie d'un corps. La figure 3 montre le dispositif de la figure 2 une fois un corps saisi.FIG. 2 shows an exemplary device according to the invention prior to entering a body. Figure 3 shows the device of Figure 2 once a body is grasped.
La figure 4 illustre une vue de côté du dispositif des figures 2 et 3FIG. 4 illustrates a side view of the device of FIGS. 2 and 3
La figure 5 représente un élément de base similaire à celui de la figure 1 auquel sont associés des moyens de saisie de corps. La largeur centrale des parallélogrammes étant par ailleurs d'un anneau de saisie destiné recevoir un élément de préhension tel qu'un crochet de palan.FIG. 5 represents a basic element similar to that of FIG. 1 to which body-gripping means are associated. The central width of the parallelograms is also a gripping ring for receiving a gripping element such as a hoist hook.
La figure 6 représente un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif selon l'invention constitué de deux éléments de base décrits à la figure 2 reliés entre eux par un ensemble de tubes horizontaux.FIG. 6 represents an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention consisting of two basic elements described in FIG. 2 interconnected by a set of horizontal tubes.
La figure 7 représente un dispositif identique à celui de la figure 3 auquel sont associés deux organes support formant les moyens de saisie.Figure 7 shows a device identical to that of Figure 3 which are associated with two support members forming the gripping means.
La figure 8 représente un dispositif similaire à celui de la figure 4, dans une position semi-ouverteFIG. 8 represents a device similar to that of FIG. 4, in a semi-open position
La figure 9 représente le dispositif de la figure 5 vu de côté.Figure 9 shows the device of Figure 5 seen from the side.
La figure 10 représente un élément de saisie en forme de boucle. La figure 11 représente un agrandissement au niveau de l'intersection entre la largeur centrale et les extrémités supérieures des moyens de saisie.Figure 10 shows a loop-shaped input element. Figure 11 shows an enlargement at the intersection of the central width and the upper ends of the gripping means.
Les figures 12 à 16 illustrent différentes étapes d'un levage au moyen d'un dispositif similaire aux dispositifs des figures précédents mais qui diffère en ce qu'il comprend un amortisseur hydraulique muni d'un levier. Les figures 17 à 22 illustrent différentes étapes d'un levage au moyen d'un dispositif similaire au dispositif des figures 12 à 16. L'élément de base 1 illustré schématiquement sur la figure 1 est constitué de deux parallélogrammes 3,4 de dimensions identiques et possédant une largeur commune 4, centrale et verticale, montée mobile en translation selon une direction verticale, chaque angle des parallélogrammes formant un point d'articulation 5 autour duquel la longueur et la largeur qui le forment peuvent librement tourner.Figures 12 to 16 illustrate different steps of a lift by means of a device similar to the devices of the previous figures but differs in that it comprises a hydraulic damper provided with a lever. Figures 17 to 22 illustrate different steps of lifting by means of a device similar to the device of Figures 12 to 16. The basic element 1 illustrated schematically in FIG. 1 consists of two parallelograms 3,4 of identical dimensions and having a common central and vertical width 4, mounted to move in translation in a vertical direction, each angle of the parallelograms forming a point articulation 5 around which the length and the width which form it can freely rotate.
A chaque angle externe inférieur 6,7 est fixé en rotation un élément de saisie de corps 8,9 (voir figures 2 et 3) dont l'extrémité inférieure 10,11 est constituée d'un organe support 13,14 destiné à supporter un corps 19At each lower outer corner 6, 7 is rotatably fixed a body-gripping member 8, 9 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), the lower end 10, 11 of which consists of a support member 13, 14 intended to support a body 19
L'extrémité supérieure 12 de chaque élément de saisie 8,9 est fixée et montée coulissante sur la largeur commune 4 des deux parallélogrammes 3,4.The upper end 12 of each gripping element 8, 9 is fixed and slidably mounted on the common width 4 of the two parallelograms 3,4.
De la sorte, une traction vers le haut de la partie centrale 4,12 du dispositif entraîne deux étapes successives, à savoir la fermeture du dispositif sur le corps suivie du levage de ce dernier.In this way, pulling up the central portion 4,12 of the device causes two successive steps, namely closing the device on the body followed by lifting the latter.
Le dispositif décrit dans le présent exemple comprend deux éléments de base 1 disposés à chaque extrémités du dispositif (voir figure 4). Les deux éléments de base sont rendus solidaires l'un à l'autre par l'intermédiaire de segments horizontaux 15 à 18.The device described in the present example comprises two basic elements 1 arranged at each end of the device (see Figure 4). The two basic elements are secured to one another by means of horizontal segments 15 to 18.
Un élément de saisie en forme d'anneau 21 est monté coulissant le long des segments horizontaux 15 à 18.A ring-shaped gripping element 21 is slidably mounted along the horizontal segments 15 to 18.
L'utilisation de moyens de blocage tels qu'un amortisseur hydraulique 20 permet de maintenir ouverte les moyens de saisie 8,9 et d'empêcher le corps 19 de souffrir d'écrasement une fois les moyens de saisie 8,9 arrivés en butée contre le corps 19. Enfin, les moyens de blocage 20 permettent l'ouverture des moyens de saisie 8,9 une fois le corps 19 reposé sur les moyens de saisie 8,9. La structure supérieure du dispositif illustré notamment sur les figures 10 à 16 permet d'obtenir un équilibre horizontal sur les deux axes lorsque l'ensemble est suspendu au crochet d'un palan.The use of locking means such as a hydraulic damper 20 makes it possible to keep the gripping means 8,9 open and to prevent the body 19 from suffering from crushing once the gripping means 8,9 have come into abutment against the body 19. Finally, the locking means 20 allow the opening of the gripping means 8,9 once the body 19 is resting on the gripping means 8,9. The upper structure of the device illustrated in particular in Figures 10 to 16 provides a horizontal balance on both axes when the assembly is suspended from the hook of a hoist.
Il convient de relever que le dispositif selon l'invention fonctionne sans autre source d'énergie que l'alimentation du palan.It should be noted that the device according to the invention operates without any other source of energy than the power supply of the hoist.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé pour saisir des corps déposés sur tout type de surface (inox, matelas, matelas a eau, matelas a air, etc.)Furthermore, the device according to the invention can be used to grip bodies deposited on any type of surface (stainless steel, mattress, water mattress, air mattress, etc.).
La matière des moyens de saisie est choisie en fonction de sa résistance et de son glissement sur la surface sur laquelle le corps est disposé.The material of the gripping means is chosen according to its resistance and its sliding on the surface on which the body is disposed.
Les angles et les longueur des tubes peuvent aisément s'adapter aux dimensions des corps ainsi qu'à l'espace mis à disposition (table d'autopsie et de préparation, local aux dimensions réduites, etc.).The angles and lengths of the tubes can easily be adapted to the size of the body as well as to the space available (autopsy and preparation table, small room, etc.).
La présente invention comprend en outre d'autres avantages par rapport aux dispositifs de l'état de la technique. Elle rend notamment possible le levage et le transfert d'un corps par une seule personne. Un corps de 200 kg, voire plus, peut aisément être manipulé. En outre, la saisie du corps peut se faire de manière très douce, sans endommager le corps, permettant de la sorte d'utiliser le dispositif selon l'invention pour déposer un corps dans un cercueil. Enfin, grâce aux moyens de blocage, toute ouverture accidentelle du dispositif lors de levage ou du transfert est évitée.The present invention furthermore comprises other advantages over devices of the state of the art. In particular, it makes possible the lifting and transfer of a body by one person. A body of 200 kg or more can easily be handled. In addition, the seizure of the body can be done very gently, without damaging the body, thereby allowing to use the device according to the invention for depositing a body in a coffin. Finally, thanks to the locking means, any accidental opening of the device during lifting or transfer is avoided.
Bien évidemment, l'invention ne se limite pas aux exemples illustrés dans la présente demande. Dans le texte ci-dessous, par "corps", il faut comprendre en premier lieuOf course, the invention is not limited to the examples illustrated in the present application. In the text below, by "body", it is necessary to understand in the first place
"cadavre". Le dispositif est donc particulièrement destiné à être utilisé dans un environnement tel que morgue, chapelle ou salle d'autopsie."corpse". The device is therefore particularly intended to be used in an environment such as morgue, chapel or autopsy room.
L'invention peut cependant également être utilisée pour des êtres vivants, humains ou animaux. The invention can however also be used for living beings, human or animal.
