Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transportvorrichtung, insbesondere Schiebehilfe oder Treppensteiger zum Anbau an einen Rollstuhl oder dergleichen, umfassend eine Griffvorrichtung, eine Antriebsvorrichtung und ein Verbindungselement, wobei die Griffvorrichtung und die Antriebsvorrichtung miteinander verbindbar sind, die Griffvorrichtung ein Bedienelement aufweist, mit dem die Antriebsvorrichtung über elektrische Mittel bewegbar ist, und wobei die Griffvorrichtung über das Verbindungselement mit der Antriebsvorrichtung unverlierbar zusammenfügbar ist.The invention relates to a transport device, in particular pushing aid or stair climber for attachment to a wheelchair or the like, comprising a handle device, a drive device and a connecting element, wherein the handle device and the drive device are connected to each other, the handle device has an operating element with which the drive device via electrical Means is movable, and wherein the handle device is captively assembled via the connecting element with the drive device.

Eine derartige Transportvorrichtung ist aus der DE 102 32 800 A1 bekannt.Such a transport device is from the DE 102 32 800 A1 known.

Die aus der DE 102 32 800 A1 bekannt gewordene Transportvorrichtung umfasst eine Antriebsvorrichtung und eine Griffvorrichtung, wobei beide miteinander verbindbar sind. Zur Befestigung der Verbindung zwischen Griffvorrichtung und Antriebsvorrichtung ist ein Verbindungselement vorgesehen, das mit der Griffvorrichtung und der Antriebsvorrichtung verschraubt wird. Im verschraubten Zustand sind beide Vorrichtungen unverlierbar miteinander verbunden.The from the DE 102 32 800 A1 become known transport device comprises a drive device and a handle device, wherein both are connectable to each other. For fixing the connection between the handle device and the drive device, a connecting element is provided, which is screwed to the handle device and the drive device. In the screwed state, both devices are captively connected to each other.

Die Bedienung der Antriebsvorrichtung erfolgt durch ein Bedienelement, das an der Griffvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Eine elektrische Leitung verbindet das Bedienelement mit der Antriebsvorrichtung. Die elektrische Leitung weist eine Steckverbindung auf, die in dem Bereich, in dem die Griffvorrichtung und die Antriebsvorrichtung miteinander verbunden werden angeordnet ist. Ein Trennen der Griffvorrichtung von der Antriebsvorrichtung bewirkt ein Lösen der Steckverbindung der elektrischen Leitung. Wird die Griffvorrichtung mit der Antriebsvorrichtung verbunden wird auch die Steckverbindung der elektrischen Leitung hergestellt.The operation of the drive device is effected by an operating element which is arranged on the handle device. An electrical line connects the operating element to the drive device. The electrical line has a plug connection which is arranged in the region in which the grip device and the drive device are connected to one another. A separation of the handle device from the drive device causes a release of the electrical connection plug connection. If the grip device is connected to the drive device, the plug connection of the electrical line is also produced.

Das Herstellen einer elektrischen Verbindung zwischen Bedienelement und Antriebsvorrichtung und damit ein Bedienen der Antriebsvorrichtung durch das Bedienelement ist ohne Anbringen des Verbindungselements an der Griffvorrichtung möglich. Vergisst ein Bediener bei der Montage der Transportvorrichtung das Verbindungselement ordnungsgemäß zu verschrauben, kann es beim Bedienen der Transportvorrichtung zu einem Trennen von Antriebsvorrichtung und Griffvorrichtung kommen. Da die Transportvorrichtung insbesondere zum Anbau an einen Rollstuhl vorgesehen ist, können in einem solchen Fall Personenschäden nicht ausgeschlossen werden.The production of an electrical connection between the control element and the drive device and thus an operation of the drive device by the operating element is possible without attaching the connecting element to the handle device. If an operator forgets to screw the connecting element properly during the assembly of the transport device, the driving device and the grip device may be separated during operation of the transport device. Since the transport device is intended in particular for attachment to a wheelchair, personal injury can not be excluded in such a case.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Kurze Beschreibung der ErfindungBrief description of the invention

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Transportvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die elektrischen Mittel in einer Außerfunktionsstellung des Verbindungselements deaktiviert sind.This object is achieved by a transport device of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that the electrical means are deactivated in an inoperative position of the connecting element.

Durch die Deaktivierung der elektrischen Mittel ist gewährleistet, dass bei einem Verbindungselement in Außerfunktionsstellung eine Bedienung der Antriebsvorrichtung über das Bedienelement nicht erfolgen kann. Die elektrisch leitende Verbindung ist unterbrochen, obwohl die Griffvorrichtung mit der Antriebsvorrichtung verbunden ist. Wird das Verbindungselement funktionsgerecht mit der Griffvorrichtung und der Antriebsvorrichtung verbunden, so ist auch die Antriebsvorrichtung über das Bedienelement aktivierbar. Ein Trennen der Griffvorrichtung und der Antriebsvorrichtung ist dann während des Betriebs nicht mehr möglich. Eine Aktivierung der elektrischen Mittel ist nur möglich, wenn die Griffvorrichtung über das Verbindungselement mit der Antriebsvorrichtung unverlierbar zusammengefügt ist.By deactivating the electrical means, it is ensured that, in the case of a connection element in the non-functional position, an operation of the drive device can not take place via the operating element. The electrically conductive connection is interrupted, although the grip device is connected to the drive device. If the connecting element is operatively connected to the grip device and the drive device, the drive device can also be activated via the operating element. A separation of the handle device and the drive device is then no longer possible during operation. An activation of the electrical means is only possible if the handle device is captively joined together via the connecting element with the drive device.
