Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rückhaltevorrichtung mit den oberbegrifflichen Merkmalen des Anspruches 1. Eine solche Rückhaltevorrichtung ist aus der US-A- 4,389,056 bekannt.The invention relates to a restraint device with the preamble features of claim 1. Such a restraint device is known from US-A-4,389,056 known.

Eine schwerbehinderte Person kann oftmals ausschließlich in einem Rollstuhl sitzend transportiert werden, da eine Umlagerung in einen Autositz o.dgl. zu aufwändig und evtl. sogar mit Schmerzen verbunden wäre. Um im Falle eines Unfalls eine ausreichende Sicherheit sowohl für den Rollstuhlfahrer als auch für die übrigen Fahrzeuginsassen zu gewährleisten, müssen beim Transport des Rollstuhls besondere Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zur Fixierung sowohl des Rollstuhles als auch der darin sitzenden Personen ergriffen werden. Hierzu wird zunächst der Rollstuhl durch Verzurren mit mehreren Spanngurten im Fahrzeug fixiert und anschließend die Person durch Anlegen eines Becken- oder Drei-Punkt-Sicherheitsgurtes zusätzlich gesichert. Zur Befestigung der Spanngurte werden im Fahrzeug vorhandene oder zu installierende Ösen bzw. Zurrpunkte genutzt. Neben der Tatsache, dass sich die Fixierung des Rollstuhls besonders aufwändig und zeitintensiv gestaltet, wird diese, bedingt durch mangelnde Erfahrung des Begleitpersonals und aufgrund von Verschleißerscheinungen der Gurte im Endergebnis allerdings oftmals den Sicherheitsanforderungen nicht gerecht. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch die optimale Ausrichtung des Rollstuhles über bzw. neben den Zurrpunkten besonders wichtig und bereitet nicht selten zusätzliche Schwierigkeiten.A severely disabled person can often be transported sitting exclusively in a wheelchair, as a rearrangement in a car seat or the like. too complex and possibly even connected with pain. In order to ensure sufficient safety in the event of an accident both for the wheelchair user and the other passengers, special security measures must be taken when transporting the wheelchair to fix both the wheelchair and the person sitting in it. For this purpose, the wheelchair is first fixed by lashing with several straps in the vehicle and then the person additionally secured by applying a pelvic or three-point safety belt. To attach the straps existing or to be installed eyelets or lashing points are used in the vehicle. In addition to the fact that the fixation of the wheelchair is particularly complex and time-consuming, this is due to lack of experience of accompanying staff and due to wear of the straps in the end result, however, often do not meet the safety requirements. In this context, the optimal orientation of the wheelchair above or next to the lashing points is particularly important and often causes additional difficulties.

Zur sicheren Fixierung eines Rollstuhls in einem Fahrzeug schlägt das US-Patent 4,973,022 deshalb ein Fixiersystem vor, das über versenkbare Klemmen verfügt, die nach Überfahren des im Fahrzeugboden eingelassenen Systems mit dem Rollstuhl hydraulisch ausgefahren und mit dem Rollstuhlgestänge verbunden werden. Nachteilig am hier vorgeschlagenen System ist, dass der Einbau des Kastens einen erheblichen Montageaufwand mit sich bringt, da Teile des Fahrzeugbodens entnommen werden müssen und wobei die Entnahme im schlechtesten Fall zu einer Destabilisierung der Fahrzeugkarosserie führen kann. Zusätzlich ist der Anschluss an ein Bordhydrauliksystem notwendig, dass herstellerseitig v.a. in kleineren Fahrzeugen oftmals nicht vorgesehen ist. Neben den hohen Anschaffungs- und Einbaukosten können zudem auch höhere Instandhaltungskosten anfallen. Die Vorrichtung gemäß der US-A- 4,389,056 oder der EP-A-1 656 919 ist in dieser Hinsicht günstiger, da die Halterung auf den Fahrzeug boden aufgesetzt werden kann.For secure fixation of a wheelchair in a vehicle that beats U.S. Patent 4,973,022 Therefore, a fixing system that has retractable terminals, which are extended hydraulically after passing over the embedded in the vehicle floor system with the wheelchair and connected to the wheelchair linkage. A disadvantage of the system proposed here, that the installation of the box brings a considerable installation effort with it, since parts of the vehicle floor must be removed and the removal in the worst case can lead to destabilization of the vehicle body. In addition, the connection to an on-board hydraulic system is necessary, that is often not provided by the manufacturer, especially in smaller vehicles. In addition to the high acquisition and installation costs can also incur higher maintenance costs. The device according to the US-A-4,389,056 or the EP-A-1 656 919 is cheaper in this regard, since the holder can be placed on the floor of the vehicle.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, für einen Rollstuhl eine Rückhaltevorrichtung für eine in einem Rollstuhl sitzende Person zur Verfügung zu stellen, die ohne umfangreiche Umbauten am Fahrzeug und ohne Eingriffe in die Fahrzeugkarosserie schnell und auf einfache Weise eingebaut werden kann, bei Nichtverwendung im Fahrzeug verbleiben und somit neben der Verwendung als Behindertentransportfahrzeug auch eine anderweitige Nutzung des Fahrzeuges zulassen soll.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide for a wheelchair a restraint device for a person sitting in a wheelchair person available that can be installed quickly and easily without extensive modifications to the vehicle and without interference with the vehicle body, when not in use in the vehicle remain and thus in addition to the use as a disabled transport vehicle also allow a different use of the vehicle.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Rückhaltevorrichtung für einen Rollstuhl bzw. eine in einem Rollstuhl sitzende Person gemäß Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a restraint device for a wheelchair or a person sitting in a wheelchair person according to claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Hierbei wird eine Rückhaltevorrichtung für einen Rollstuhl mit einer über einen Hebeantrieb höhenverstellbaren und mit dem Rollstuhl verbind- oder verrastbaren Kopplungsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, wobei die Rückhaltevorrichtung einen auf einem Fahrzeugboden angeordneten Grundkörper aufweist und die Kopplungsvorrichtung am Grundkörper verschwenkbar angelenkt ist. Der Grundkörper kann dabei plattenförmig oder nach Art eines flachen Kastens ausgebildet sein und wird auf den Fahrzeugboden aufgesetzt und mit diesem verbunden oder verschraubt. Denkbar ist dabei auch die Nutzung von im Boden vieler Transportfahrzeuge bereits herstellerseitig vorgesehener Bodenschienen, sog. Cargoschienen, in die der Grundkörper eingesetzt oder -gespannt wird. Verfügt das zur Nachrüstung vorgesehene Fahrzeug über einen oder mehrere herausnehmbare Sitze oder Sitzreihen, kann der Grundkörper auch in den Sitzmulden angeordnet werden bzw. in die Aufnahmen für die Sitze eingesetzt oder bei entsprechender Ausgestaltung der Aufnahmen und/oder des Grundkörpers mit diesen verrastet oder verschraubt werden. Ist ein dauerhafter Einbau der Rückhaltevorrichtung, beispielsweise in Fahrzeugen die ausschließlich für den Rollstuhl-/Behindertentransport verwendet werden, geplant, erfolgt eine Befestigung des Grundkörpers über handelsübliche, auf die entsprechenden Sicherheitsanforderungen abgestimmte Schrauben.Here, a restraint device for a wheelchair with a height-adjustable via a lifting drive and with the wheelchair connectable or latchable coupling device is proposed, wherein the retaining device has a arranged on a vehicle floor body and the coupling device is articulated pivotably on the base body. Of the Base body can be plate-shaped or formed in the manner of a flat box and is placed on the vehicle floor and connected to this or screwed. It is also conceivable the use of in the bottom of many transport vehicles already provided by the manufacturer ground rails, so-called. Cargo rails, in which the body is used or -spannt. If the vehicle provided for retrofitting has one or more removable seats or rows of seats, the main body can also be arranged in the seat recesses or inserted into the receptacles for the seats or latched or screwed together with appropriate design of the receptacles and / or the base body , Is a permanent installation of the restraint, for example, in vehicles that are used exclusively for the wheelchair / disabled transport, planned, attachment of the body via commercially available, matched to the appropriate security requirements screws.

Eine Befestigung über Schnellverschlüsse ermöglicht einen flexiblen Ein- und Ausbau der Vorrichtung und darüber hinaus auch die Verwendung in mehreren Fahrzeugen, wodurch an sich zum Transport nicht behinderter Personen gedachte Fahrzeuge bedarfsweise zum Behindertentransport verwendet werden können. Als Schnellverschluss denkbar sind beispielsweise ohne Werkzeugeinsatz anlegbare Flügel- oder Rändelschrauben oder manuell lösbare Rast- und Schnappverbindungen sowie Schnellspannvorrichtungen. Die besonders flache Bauform der gesamten Vorrichtung stört auch bei dauerhaftem Verbleib im Fahrzeug nicht. Das Rückhaltesystem eignet sich selbstverständlich zum Einbau in allen Arten von Transportmitteln, wie beispielsweise in Zügen und Flugzeugen.An attachment via quick-release fasteners allows for flexible installation and removal of the device and moreover also the use in several vehicles, whereby vehicles intended for transporting non-disabled persons can be used as needed for the transport of disabled persons. As a quick lock are conceivable, for example, without tools insertable wing or thumbscrews or manually releasable locking and snap connections and quick release devices. The particularly flat design of the entire device does not interfere with permanent whereabouts in the vehicle. The restraint system is of course suitable for installation in all types of means of transport, such as in trains and aircraft.

Die Verbindung oder Verrastung der Kopplungsvorrichtung mit dem Rollstuhl erfolgt beispielsweise über eine automatische Klaue, die am Rollstuhlrahmen angreift oder über eine vom Bedienpersonal zu befestigende Klemm-, Schraub- oder Schnappverbindung. Hierbei ist ebenfalls die Verwendung entsprechender Schnellspannverschlüsse oder - vorrichtungen denkbar. So ist die Kopplungseinrichtung mit einer am Rollstuhl angeordneten Aufnahme verrastbar ausgebildet. Die hierfür notwendige Ausrüstung des Rollstuhls kann auf einfache und schnelle Weise mit einer handelsüblichen oder im Zubehörvertrieb erhältlichen Rast- oder Schnappaufnahme erfolgen und ermöglicht eine noch schnellere und sicherere Fixierung des Rollstuhles durch die Rückhaltevorrichtung.The connection or locking of the coupling device with the wheelchair, for example, via an automatic jaw, which acts on the wheelchair frame or via an operator to be fastened clamping, screw or snap connection. Here, the use of corresponding quick-release closures or - devices is also conceivable. Thus, the coupling device is formed lockable with a receptacle arranged on the wheelchair. The necessary equipment of the wheelchair can be done in a simple and fast way with a commercially available or available in accessory sales Rasta- or snap-in recording and allows even faster and safer fixation of the wheelchair by the restraint.

Bevorzugt ist die Kopplungsvorrichtung als Platte ausgebildet, die bei Nichtbenutzung der Rückhaltevorrichtung flach auf dem Grundkörper aufliegt. Eine weitere als günstig angesehene Ausführungsform der Rückhaltevorrichtung sieht vor, dass die Kopplungsvorrichtung als verschwenkbar am Grundkörper angelenkter Arm ausgebildet ist. Dieser Arm kann dabei beispielsweise Z- oder T- oder Doppel-T-Form aufweisen und bei Nichtbenutzug der Kopplungsvorrichtung ebenfalls am Grundkörper angelegt oder in diesem aufgenommen werden.Preferably, the coupling device is designed as a plate, which rests flat when not using the restraint on the base body. Another preferred embodiment of the restraint device provides that the coupling device is designed as a pivotable arm articulated on the main body. This arm can for example have Z or T or double T-shape and also Nichtbenutzug the coupling device applied to the main body or added to this.

Zur noch schnelleren und einfacheren Verbindung mit der am Rollstuhl vorgesehenen Aufnahme weist die Kopplungsvorrichtung an ihrem zum Rollstuhl verschwenkbaren Ende bevorzugt eine horizontal ausgerichtete Raststange zum Eingriff mit der Rastaufnahme auf. Um dabei flexibel auf verschiedene, modell- und ausführungsformabhängige Rollstuhlbreiten reagieren zu können, ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Raststange längenvariabel ausgebildet ist. Eine Einstellung der Länge erfolgt dabei nach dem Lösen einer zentral an der Raststange angeordneten Klemmschraube oder eines Schnellverschlusses (z. B. ein Federrastbolzen) und kann auch durch das Bedienpersonal durchgeführt werden. Denkbar ist darüber hinaus auch die Ausstattung der Raststange mit zwei Klemm- oder Schnellverschlussschrauben, die jeweils im Bereich der Stangenenden angeordnet sind und wobei die zweigeteilte Stange teleskopartig verlängert bzw. verkürzt werden kann. Hierbei kann die Stange auch in einem Klemmrohr geführt werden.For even faster and easier connection with the receptacle provided on the wheelchair, the coupling device preferably has at its end pivotable to the wheelchair a horizontally aligned latching rod for engagement with the latching receptacle. In order to be able to react flexibly to different wheelchair widths depending on the model and the type of execution, it is provided according to the invention that the latching rod is variable in length. An adjustment of the length takes place after loosening a clamping screw or a quick-release fastener arranged centrally on the locking rod (for example a spring-loaded bolt) and can also be carried out by the operating personnel. It is also conceivable beyond the equipment of the locking rod with two clamping or quick release screws, which are each arranged in the region of the rod ends and wherein the two-part rod can be telescopically extended or shortened. Here, the rod can also be performed in a clamping tube.

Neben einer stufenlosen Veränderung der Stangenlänge kann auch eine stufenweise Verlängerung der Stange durchgeführt werden. Die in einer an der Kopplungsvorrichtung angebrachten Hülse geführte Stange weist dazu in definierten Abständen Rastlöcher auf, durch die ein durch eine Bohrung in der Hülse geführter Splint durchgesteckt werden kann, um die Stange zu fixieren. Möglich ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch, eine Ausstattung der Stange mit Rastnasen oder -vorsprüngen, die in die Bohrung in der Hülse einrasten und eine bestimmte Länge der Stange fixieren, bzw. eine Anordnung einer entsprechenden Rastnase an der Hülse, die in Bohrungen in der Stange eingreift.In addition to a stepless change in the rod length, a stepwise extension of the rod can be carried out. The guided in a mounted on the coupling sleeve sleeve has for this purpose at defined intervals detent holes through which a guided through a hole in the sleeve split pin can be pushed through to fix the rod. It is also possible in this context, an equipment of the rod with locking lugs or projections, which engage in the bore in the sleeve and fix a certain length of the rod, or an arrangement of a corresponding locking lug on the sleeve, in the holes in the rod intervenes.

Durch die stufenlose Höhenverstellung der Kopplungsvorrichtung wird die Verwendung der Rückhaltevorrichtung mit verschiedenen Rollstuhlmodellen und Modellausführungen weiter erleichtert. Beim Betrieb der Rückhaltevorrichtung wird hierbei die Grundplatte mit daran flach angelegter Kopplungsvorrichtung mit dem Rollstuhl überfahren und nach Positionierung des Rollstuhls die Kopplungsvorrichtung soweit verschwenkt, dass die Kopplungs- oder Rastelemente am Gestänge des Rollstuhls anliegen bzw. mit entsprechenden Aufnahmen am Gestänge in Eingriff stehen. Dabei kann nach dem Einrasten der Hebeantrieb unter Motorkraft etwas abgesenkt werden, so dass der Rollstuhl in Richtung des Fahrzeugbodens gepresst und damit spielfrei gestellt wird. Bevorzugt ist der Hebeantrieb dabei pneumatisch oder als elektrischer Spindeltrieb ausgebildet und in die schalenartige Grundplatte integriert. Beim pneumatischen Betrieb wird die Vorrichtung an vorhandene Druckluftsysteme angeschlossen. Zur Betätigung des Antriebes kann die Vorrichtung einen am oder im Grundkörper angeordneten Elektromotor aufweisen. Dieser kann nach Anschluss der Vorrichtung an das Bordnetz, je nach Ausstattung des Fahrzeugs beispielsweise bei einer Spannung von 12V oder 24V betrieben werden. Auch ein Betrieb der Vorrichtung bei höheren Spannungen ist möglich.The stepless height adjustment of the coupling device further facilitates the use of the restraint device with various wheelchair models and model designs. During operation of the restraint device in this case the base plate is run over with it flat-applied coupling device with the wheelchair and the positioning of the wheelchair, the coupling device pivoted so far that the coupling or locking elements rest on the linkage of the wheelchair or with corresponding receptacles on the linkage engaged. It can be lowered slightly under engine power after latching the lift drive, so that the wheelchair is pressed in the direction of the vehicle floor and thus made free of play. Preferably, the lifting drive is designed pneumatically or as an electrical spindle drive and integrated into the shell-like base plate. In pneumatic operation, the device is connected to existing compressed air systems connected. For actuating the drive, the device may have an electric motor arranged on or in the main body. This can be operated after connection of the device to the electrical system, depending on the equipment of the vehicle, for example at a voltage of 12V or 24V. Also, operation of the device at higher voltages is possible.

Als besonders vorteilhaft wird angesehen, wenn der Hebeantrieb zum Verschwenken der Kopplungsvorrichtung fernbedienbar ausgebildet ist. Die Fernbedienung kann dabei kabelgebunden oder schnurlos erfolgen und vereinfacht die Sicherung des Rollstuhles mit der Rückhaltevorrichtung, da ein Hantieren unter dem positionierten Rollstuhl entfällt. Das Begleitpersonal oder die im Rollstuhl sitzende Person kann nach Überfahren der in der Ausgangsposition befindlichen Vorrichtung über die Fernbedienung das Verschwenken starten und bis zum Verrasten weiterführen. Mit Einsatz einer geeigneten Steuerelektronik ist in diesem Zusammenhang auch eine automatische Abschaltung des Hebeantriebes nach Erreichen einer bestimmten Verschwenkhöhe oder nach Einrasten in eine Aufnahme realisierbar. Das ordnungsgemäße Einrasten der Kopplungsvorrichtung kann zusätzlich über ein akustisches Signal deutlich gemacht werden. Für das eigenständige Positionieren des Rollstuhles durch die darin sitzende, behinderte Person oder aber als Hilfe für das Betreuungspersonal, kann am Grundkörper oder im Bereich der Rückhaltevorrichtung am Fahrzeug eine akustische oder optische Positionierhilfe angeordnet werden. Zur Steuerung der Positionierhilfe können Positionssensoren beispielsweise an der Rückhaltevorrichtung angeordnet werden und die Positionierhilfe nach ordnungsgemäßer Überfahrt und Positionieren des Rollstuhles ein positives Signal, bei Fehlpositionierung ein Warnsignal ausgegeben. In einer einfacheren Ausgestaltung erleichtert eine am Fahrzeugboden angebrachte Markierung das ordnungsgemäße Positionieren des Rollstuhles. Die Markierung kann dabei beispielsweise in einer Signalfarbe, als Reflexionsstreifen oder - punkte oder als beleuchtetes Feld ausgeführt werden.It is considered to be particularly advantageous if the lifting drive is designed to be remote-controllable for pivoting the coupling device. The remote control can be wired or cordless and simplifies the securing of the wheelchair with the restraint device, since a handling under the positioned wheelchair is eliminated. The escort or the person sitting in the wheelchair can start the pivoting after passing over the device in the starting position via the remote control and continue until it locks. With the use of suitable control electronics in this context, an automatic shutdown of the lifting drive after reaching a certain pivot height or after snapping into a receptacle can be realized. The proper engagement of the coupling device can additionally be made clear via an acoustic signal. For the independent positioning of the wheelchair by the person sitting therein, disabled or as an aid to the caregiver, an acoustic or optical positioning can be arranged on the body or in the area of the restraint device on the vehicle. To control the positioning aid position sensors can be arranged, for example, on the restraint and the positioning aid after proper crossing and positioning of the wheelchair a positive signal issued in case of mispositioning a warning signal. In a simpler embodiment, a mark attached to the vehicle floor facilitates the proper positioning of the wheelchair. The marking can be carried out, for example, in a signal color, as reflection strips or dots or as an illuminated field.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Rückhaltevorrichtung ist ein Bedienschalter für den Hebeantrieb vorgesehen, der bevorzugt am Fahrzeugboden, am Grundkörper oder an der Kopplungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Es kann sich dabei um einen Fuß- oder Handschalter handeln, der vom Betreuungspersonal bedient wird und die Verschwenkung der Kopplungsvorrichtung bewirkt. Denkbar ist in diesem Zusammenhang eine zusätzliche Warnleuchte, die ein unsachgemäßes Positionieren des Rollstuhles signalisiert oder aber eine Sicherheitsschaltung der Kfz-Elektronik, die bewirkt, dass das Fahrzeug erst nach ordnungsgemäßem Fixieren des Rollstuhles in der Rückhaltevorrichtung aktiviert werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the retaining device, an operating switch for the lifting drive is provided, which is preferably arranged on the vehicle floor, on the base body or on the coupling device. It may be a foot or hand switch, which is operated by the caregiver and causes the pivoting of the coupling device. It is conceivable in this context, an additional warning light that signals improper positioning of the wheelchair or a safety circuit of the car electronics, which causes the vehicle can be activated only after proper fixing of the wheelchair in the restraint.

Zur weiteren Erleichterung der Positionierung und Sicherung des Rollstuhles ist es empfehlenswert, am Grundkörper und/oder an der Kopplungsvorrichtung eine Beleuchtung vorzusehen, die den Bereich unterhalb des Rollstuhles beleuchtet.To further facilitate the positioning and securing of the wheelchair, it is recommended to provide lighting on the base body and / or on the coupling device, which illuminates the area below the wheelchair.
