Description
L'invention concerne, de façon générale, l'ergonomie des fauteuils roulants.The invention relates generally to the ergonomics of wheelchairs.
Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un fauteuil roulant du type de ceux qui comprennent au moins un châssis présentant des côtés arrière, avant, droit et gauche, une assise portée par le châssis, et, sur chacun des côtés droit et gauche, une roue arrière montée à rotation autour d'un axe horizontal lié au châssis, une roue avant montée à rotation autour d'un axe horizontal porté par une chape elle-même montée à rotation autour d'un axe vertical correspondant lié au châssis, et un repose-pied lié au châssis et disposé à l'avant de l'assise.More specifically, the invention relates to a wheelchair of the type comprising at least one chassis having rear, front, right and left sides, a seat supported by the frame, and on each of the right and left sides, a wheel rear rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis connected to the frame, a front wheel rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis carried by a yoke itself rotatably mounted about a corresponding vertical axis connected to the frame, and a rests foot linked to the chassis and arranged at the front of the seat.
Le déplacement contrôlé d'un fauteuil roulant standard requiert, de la personne qui l'utilise, des efforts appliqués de façon coordonnée des deux côtés de ce fauteuil et qu'une personne hémiplégique n'est pas en mesure d'exercer.Controlled movement of a standard wheelchair requires the person using it to apply co-ordinated efforts on both sides of the wheelchair that a person with hemiplegia can not exercise.
Bien que diverses solutions aient déjà été proposées pour surmonter cet écueil, les fauteuils roulants modifiés selon ces propositions continuent de présenter divers inconvénients et limitations, parmi lesquels on peut notamment citer : la nécessité d'une fabrication spécifique, un rayon de braquage élevé, la difficulté de franchissement d'obstacles, la pénibilité des longs trajets, la complexité de manipulation, la difficulté pour une tierce personne de diriger le fauteuil, la propension du fauteuil à se dérégler, ou encore sa fragilité.Although various solutions have already been proposed to overcome this pitfall, wheelchairs modified according to these proposals continue to have various disadvantages and limitations, among which may be mentioned in particular: the need for a specific manufacturing, a high turning radius, the Difficulty in overcoming obstacles, the difficulty of long journeys, the complexity of handling, the difficulty for a third person to steer the chair, the propensity of the chair to go out of order, or even its fragility.
Dans ce contexte, l'invention a essentiellement pour but de proposer un fauteuil roulant adapté aux personnes hémiplégiques et surmontant certains au moins des inconvénients et limitations précédemment énumérés. Un tel fauteuil roulant a été divulgué dans le brevet
A cette fin, le fauteuil roulant de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique qu'en donne le préambule ci-dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que, sur un premier au moins des côtés droit ou gauche, le repose-pied est lié en rotation, autour de l'axe vertical correspondant, à la chape portant la roue avant sur ce premier côté.To this end, the wheelchair of the invention, moreover conforming to the generic definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that, on at least a first of the right or left sides, the foot is linked in rotation, around the corresponding vertical axis, to the yoke carrying the front wheel on this first side.
Grâce à cet agencement, la personne utilisant le fauteuil de l'invention peut en assurer la direction de façon simple par une immobilité, une adduction, ou une abduction de la hanche, dont l'effet correspondant est maintenir en place ou d'écarter dans un sens ou dans l'autre le repose-pied lié en rotation à la roue directrice avant, et donc de faire progresser ce fauteuil en ligne droite, vers un côté, ou vers l'autre, avec un rayon de giration d'autant plus petit que le mouvement de la hanche est important.With this arrangement, the person using the chair of the invention can ensure the direction of a simple way by immobility, adduction, or abduction of the hip, the corresponding effect is maintained in place or to separate in one way or the other the footrest linked in rotation with the front steering wheel, and thus to advance this chair in a straight line, towards one side or towards the other, with a radius of gyration all the more small as the movement of the hip is important.
De plus, dans la mesure où cet agencement est structurellement très simple, le fauteuil de l'invention peut être obtenu par adaptation d'un fauteuil standard sans requérir une fabrication spécifique.In addition, insofar as this arrangement is structurally very simple, the chair of the invention can be obtained by adapting a standard chair without requiring specific manufacture.
Typiquement, le châssis comprend, sur le premier côté au moins, un montant avant par rapport auquel le repose-pied et la chape portant la roue avant sont montés en rotation autour de l'axe vertical correspondant.Typically, the chassis comprises, on the first side at least, a front upright relative to which the footrest and the yoke carrying the front wheel are mounted in rotation about the corresponding vertical axis.
Il est ainsi notamment possible de prévoir que, sur le premier côté au moins, le montant avant comprenne un tube creux débouchant vers le sol et dans lequel passe l'axe vertical de rotation de la chape de la roue avant, et que le repose-pied soit lié en rotation à la chape de la roue avant au moyen d'une tige traversant le tube.It is thus possible to provide that, on the first side at least, the front post comprises a hollow tube opening towards the ground and in which passes the vertical axis of rotation of the fork of the front wheel, and that the foot is rotatably connected to the fork of the front wheel by means of a rod passing through the tube.
Par ailleurs, l'axe horizontal de rotation de chaque roue arrière peut être porté par un montant arrière correspondant du châssis.Furthermore, the horizontal axis of rotation of each rear wheel can be carried by a corresponding rear upright of the frame.
L'invention peut être facilement mise en oeuvre sur un fauteuil comprenant au moins une main courante solidaire en rotation d'une roue arrière correspondante, dans lequel chaque roue arrière est fixée au châssis de façon démontable, et dont le châssis est pliant.The invention can easily be implemented on a chair comprising at least one handrail integral in rotation with a corresponding rear wheel, in which each rear wheel is fixed to the chassis in a demountable manner, and whose chassis is folding.

Comme annoncé précédemment, l'invention concerne un fauteuil roulant comprenant notamment, de façon connue (
Le châssis 1 est de préférence pliant, auquel cas l'assise 2 est souple ou elle-même pliante.The
La forme générale partiellement asymétrique et les modalités d'utilisation d'un tel fauteuil permettent de définir un côté arrière AR, un côté avant AV, un côté droit DR et un côté gauche GA.The generally asymmetrical general shape and the use of such a chair define a rear side AR, a front side AV, a right side DR and a left side GA.
Les roues arrière 31 comprennent donc une roue arrière droite et une roue arrière gauche, les roues avant comprennent de même une roue avant droite et une roue avant gauche, et les repose-pieds comprennent un repose-pied droit et un repose-pied gauche.The
Chaque roue arrière 31 est montée à rotation autour d'un axe horizontal 310 fixe, en fonctionnement, par rapport au châssis 1, le moyeu définissant l'axe de rotation 310 de cette roue étant par exemple porté, de façon démontable, par un montant arrière correspondant 11 du châssis 1.Each
Chacune des roues arrière 31 présente typiquement un diamètre sensiblement plus important que celui des roues avant, chacune de ces roues 31 ou l'une d'elles au moins pouvant par ailleurs être dotée, de façon également connue en soi, d'une main courante 311 solidaire de cette roue 31 et permettant de l'entraîner en rotation autour de l'axe 310 correspondant.Each of the
Chaque roue avant 32 est montée à rotation autour d'un axe horizontal 320 porté par une chape 321 qui est elle-même montée à rotation autour d'un axe vertical correspondant 3210 lié au châssis 1.Each
Par ailleurs, chaque repose-pied 4 est lié au châssis 1 et disposé à l'avant de l'assise 2.Furthermore, each
Selon l'invention, le repose-pied 4, sur l'un au moins des côtés droit ou gauche, est lié en rotation, autour de l'axe vertical correspondant 3210, à la chape 321 portant la roue avant 32 sur ce côté.According to the invention, the
Dans le cas le plus simple et le plus adapté aux personnes hémiplégiques, l'un des repose-pied 4 est fixe par rapport au châssis 1, et l'autre est ainsi lié en rotation à la chape 321 qui porte la roue avant 32 située du même côté que ce repose-pied.In the simplest case and most suitable for hemiplegic persons, one of the

La tige 121 s'étend suivant l'axe vertical 3210 de rotation de la chape 321 de la roue avant 32, et rend cette chape 321 solidaire en rotation, autour de l'axe vertical 3210, du repose-pied 4 situé du même côté que cette chape.The
L'axe du repose-pied est par ailleurs monté sur deux roulements à billes dont la hauteur est compensée par modification de la hauteur de la roue 32 dans la chape 321.The axis of the footrest is also mounted on two ball bearings whose height is compensated by changing the height of the
