Definitions
- a device which is a hybrid of a human lift and a raisable and lowerable seat, and a method for using the device as a human lift
- the present invention relates to a lifting device in the form of a combined raisable and lowerable seat for a user sitting on the seat and a lift for a user standing up, wherein the target groups for the lifting device are primarily persons with a slight disability as regards the ability to move, or persons who experience some degree of uncertainty due to, for example, poor balance or the like without being physically disabled in the concrete sense of the word.
- the concept human lift in this document means a lift for a user who, within dwelling spaces, is lifted standing up and where the human lift is used as the equivalent of, for example, a stepladder to enable the user to reach areas which he/she is not able to reach standing on a floor.
- a traditional wheelchair comprises a frame and is equipped with a seat and wheels arranged so that the chair becomes mobile.
- Some wheelchairs are provided with electric drive means for the wheels so that they may be driven by the user without the assistance of someone who sets the wheels in rotation manually.
- Such chairs generally solve the problem of mobility at the ground level for persons with reduced ability to move, but does not contribute possibilities of being able to move in the vertical direction, sitting or standing up, so that these persons are given increased possibilities of independently carrying out tasks that require mobility in the vertical direction.
- a seat may be raised or lowered with the aid of some form of drive unit. This facilitates for the user to move between different pieces of furniture with different sitting heights, and also makes it easier to place oneself in a seated position on the seat, as well as getting out of the chair.
- Such chairs with a raisable and lowerable seat may also be provided with wheels or rollers to be able to be rolled to a desired location. See, for example, the document US 20150351985.
- Control devices which may be operated with buttons, remote control or instruments for voice recognition may be integrated with the chair to make it possible for the user to control the movement of the chair on his/her own.
- a lifting device of the kind described in the present invention provides increased mobility and possibility to carry out more types of simple tasks.
- this comprises a lifting device that is a hybrid of a human floor lift and a raisable and lowerable seat, wherein the lifting device has a stand that constitutes a base plane of the lifting device, a frame fixed to said stand at an angle in relation to a vertical plane across the stand, a rail located in the vertical direction in the frame, a sled that is designed to be displaceable along the rail, a drive mechanism that drives the sled from a first position to a second position of the rail, a platform that is fixed to the sled, and wherein the lifting device in a first use of the platform exhibits a seat bottom for a user of the seat, where the seat further, at an edge of the seat bottom that faces the sled, exhibits a back rest extending upwards from the seat bottom, wherein the seat may be displaced by means of the drive mechanism from a lowest sitting height to a highest sitting height, and in a second use of the platform this exhibits a footboard for a
- the stand has a front and a rear end, wherein the lowermost part of the frame is fixed to the stand at a front part of the stand and across this.
- the frame preferably has the shape of box-type frame with a larger extent in length than in width and, in addition, a depth that is limited to a fraction of its width, for example one-fourth of the width. This depth may, of course, be varied depending on the shape of the frame and depending on the material thereof.
- the frame is tilted backwards and, in relation to the stand, has an angle which may be between 60 and 85 degrees, preferably between 70 and 80 degrees. In use of a human lift of the kind shown, this is placed in front of and adjacent to the area that the user wishes to reach.
- the stand at the base of the lift prevents this from being placed completely up against, e.g., a wall or a cabinet that comprises the area that the user wishes to reach, whereby the user may end up too far from said area if said user is lifted along a vertically arranged frame.
- One reason for the frame being preferably inclined backwards, that is, away from the user, is that the user is brought closer to said area the higher the user is lifted along the inclined frame.
- the frame may be designed in a different way than what is described here.
- the frame chosen here gives the device with said angular arrangement favourable conditions for constructing a light structure. This arrangement also enables a characteristic efficiency when it comes to the hybrid functionality and lends a slender shape to the device.
- the stand described above comprises two runners which are connected in parallel with each other by means of the rear parts of the frame.
- the stand is provided with roller members in the form of balls, rollers or wheels.
- the roller members may be realized in the form of balls at the front and rear ends of the runners mentioned.
- the drive mechanism which in the vertical direction may displace the platform, which is used as a seat bottom and a footboard, respectively, consists of an actuator that has a rail in which a slide may climb along the rail with the aid of a motor.
- the rail for example, may be a cylindrical shaft with a helical slot, along which the slide climbs. Since the seat/footboard is associated with a sled that is fixed to the slide, it follows the movement of the slide in the vertical direction.
- the platform that is used as a seat bottom and footboard, respectively, is covered with a cushion, in use as a seat bottom, said cushion being suitably divided into two halves.
- the two halves of the cushion are turned up towards the sides, whereby the footboard is exposed and may serve as a base for the person standing on the footboard when he/she is moving in the vertical direction.
- Another alternative is, of course, to make the cushion detachable and removed from the seat bottom when using the device as a human lift.
- the cushion in its entirety is turned up completely to one side of the platform.
- the seat also has a back rest, in addition to a seat bottom.
- a hand rest for a standing person is arranged in this back rest.
- the hand rest may advantageously be designed retractable in the vertical direction.
- arm rests Adjacent to the seat, arm rests are arranged. These may be secured to the back rest.
- the arm rests are connected to the retractable hand rest, whereby a person who is lifted from the footboard, standing up, is also secured in the form of supports at both sides of the body.
- driving wheels are arranged. These driving wheels consist of wheels or rollers resting against the base on which the stand is supported, usually an indoor floor.
- a motor that can be controlled by the user drives said driving wheels so that the lifting device in the form of the seat and the human lift, respectively, may be run to desired locations.
- a method according to claim 13 is presented, in which the device is utilized as a human lift.
- the lifting device generally described above entails significantly increased mobility in the home or at some other location such as, for example, in nursing institutions or retirement homes for a person with an impairment regarding the ability to move.
- the lifting device serves both as seating furniture and as a motorized tool that can be utilized by the user to enable him/her to carry out minor tasks at heights which are normally not considered accessible to elderly persons and persons with a physical handicap. It may be a question of reaching up to the ceiling, higher cabinets, high shelves, etc, with the aid of the function as a human lift. A person utilizing the human lift may carry out tasks such as changing lights, painting or wallpapering.
- the function as a human lift is an attractive instrument also for any other person since such a person does not have to climb onto a ladder and where, furthermore, the lifting height may be controlled from controls on the hand rest.
- the lifting device in its entirety may also be driven to different positions by the user, which entails the additional advantage that the user may reach different working positions without having to step down to floor level for these movements.
- the invention can be used in individual households or institutions where persons acquire the product for reasons such as increased comfort, reduced risk of falling and increased safety for a user.
- One purpose of the invention is that it shall contribute to a reduced number of fall accidents in the above-mentioned areas of use, and that in particular elderly persons shall be able to manage around the home on their own for as long as possible.
- Figure 1 schematically shows the lifting device according to one aspect of the invention in a perspective view.
- Figure 2 is an exploded view of the lifting device according to Figure 1.
- Figure 3a shows the lifting device in a plan view from the side.
- Figure 3b shows the lifting device in a plan view from the front.
- Figure 4 shows the lifting device used as a human lift with the platform in the lowermost position.
- Figure 5 shows the lifting device used as a human lift with the platform hoisted to its uppermost position.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention according to one aspect thereof.
- the invention is a hybrid of a seat and a human lift and is here referred to as a lifting device.
- the invention will sometimes be referred to below by the abbreviated designation lift, which is given the reference numeral 1.
- the lift 1 is provided at its bottom part with a stand 2, which rests against the base, which is assumed to be a floor.
- the stand 2 is designed in the form of two runners 2a, 2b.
- the runners 2a, 2b extend parallel to each other from a front part of the lift 1 to a rear part of the lift and along the sides of the lift 1.
- the front part of the lift 1 is meant that part thereof which opens up towards a person who intends to sit up onto or stand up onto the lift.
- a frame 3 is attached to the stand 2.
- the frame 3 is configured as a box frame, that is, it has essentially a shape resembling a rectangle.
- the frame In relation to the stand 2, the frame is arranged transversely of the stand, that is, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stand. Further, the frame 3 is designed to lean somewhat backwards on the lift. The tilting of the frame 3 backwards is preferably within the interval of 70 to 80 degrees in relation to the plane of the stand 2.
- the sides of the box frame are formed of plane beams, which are of metal, a metal composite or a composite plastic.
- the width of the plane beams form the depth of the box frame, which means that the box frame within its volumetric extent may accommodate drive mechanisms and other components for operation of the seat and the human lift.
- the uppermost height of the frame 3 above the stand 2 is about 77 cm and the inclination of the frame backwards is about 73 degrees.
- a linear actuator 4 is arranged in the vertical direction and in the plane of the frame 3.
- the task of the linear actuator is to be the driving mechanism which, in the lifting device, can raise and lower the platform 5 that serves as a seating base for a seat bottom 8a in the raisable and lowerable seat 8 and as a footboard in its function as a human lift.
- the linear actuator 4 is, for example, of the type ballscrew-driven or belt- driven unit and its function is not described here since these units belong to the prior art.
- the lower part of the actuator 4 is provided with a drive motor 4a for driving a slide 4b, which with the aid of the drive motor 4a may be displaced in the vertical direction along a rail 4c in the extension of the linear actuator.
- parallel guides 6 are mounted in the vertical extension of the frame 3.
- these guides 6 are arranged in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the linear actuator 4, along which the slide 4b may run.
- a sled 7 is configured to run along the guides 6 and to be controlled by these. The sled 7 is connected to the above-mentioned slide 4b and will thus be displaced along the frame 3 according to positional adjustments for the slide along the linear actuator 4, the positional adjustments being made by controlling the motor 4a.
- the seat 8 in the lifting device comprises the seat bottom 8a, which has the platform 5 as its base, and in addition a back rest 8b.
- the platform 5 is in the form of a frame structure 5a with an associated cover plate 5b.
- the back rest 8b comprises a supporting frame structure 5c which is connected to the frame structure 5a associated with the seat bottom 8a.
- a cover 9 for the back rest 8b is affixed to the supporting frame structure 5 c, for example by being fitted over the supporting frame structure 5c.
- the seat bottom 8a has a cushion 10 which, in this embodiment, is divided into two halves in the longitudinal direction of the lifting device.
- the seat 8 is connected to the sled 7 by the supporting frame structure 5c of the back rest being fixed to the sled, for example by means of fixing elements such as screws, bolts, rivets, or by welding.
- a stand 1 1 in the form of two rods is configured to be displaceable in the vertical direction inside the back rest 8b and therein controlled by guide means 12 arranged in the cover 9 of the back rest 8b.
- the guide means 12 may be provided by means of tubes or rails.
- the guide means 12 may be arranged inside the back rest or be applied along any of the sides of the back rest (including the rear side of the back rest).
- Arm rests 13 are connected to the stand 1 1. These arm rests 13 are arranged at a height such that, at a lower position of the stand 1 1 , they are located essentially at elbow height for a person sitting on the seat bottom 8a.
- the lifting device 1 is intended, in an alternative use, to lift a person standing on the platform 5.
- the two halves of the cushion 10 are turned to the sides, that is, up against the respective arm rest 13.
- the platform 5 is exposed, which is used as a footboard for a person who from a standing position steps up onto the platform at the front end of the lifting device.
- the user may pull up a hand rest 14, shown at the upper end of the stand 1 1 , from the guide means 12 of the back rest.
- the hand rest 14 is lifted up to a height which approximately corresponds to the waist height of the user.
- the platform 5 When the user steps on the footboard, the platform 5 is preferably lowered to a low height above the base of the lifting device, for example the lowest standing height. Thereafter, the user of the human lift operates the actuator 4 by means of the control device 15, preferably applied on the hand rest 14, at the seat bottom 8a or at some of the arm rests 13 (as shown in Figure 3b), so that the actuator drives the platform 5 to a chosen positional setting in the vertical direction.
- the highest position for the platform is, for example, 60 cm above the base of the lifting device.
- a standing user of the human lift may in this highest position reach up to the ceiling in most dwelling spaces, thus being able to carry out tasks at this height.
- the arm rests 14 accompany the hand rest 14 to the higher positional settings, which also provides protection for the user at the sides, thus increasing the feeling of safety without the risk of a lateral fall. It is, of course, possible to control the height positions of the actuator by wireless remote control or by voice control.
- the driving wheels 16 previously mentioned are mounted in a drive housing 17.
- the drive housing 17 is mounted behind the frame 3 between the runners 2a, 2b and makes contact with the base of the lifting device. If, instead of runners, the stand 2 should have a covering plate, the drive housing is arranged in an opening in the plate.
- the driving wheels 16 are, for example, wheels of rubber or rollers of rubber. To be able to swing the lifting device 1 when it is propelled by the driving wheels 16, one driving wheel is placed at each end of the drive housing 17.
- the driving wheels are rotated by means of a motor (not shown) at the respective driving wheel.
- the driving wheels can also be rotated in different directions of rotation so that the lifting device may be run both forwards and backwards.
- the lifting device 1 When the lifting device 1 is used for a user standing up, a larger supporting surface for the stand 2 may be required in order to prevent the lifting device used as a human lift from tipping over.
- the runners 2a, 2b being extendable in the longitudinal direction thereof.
- the respective runner 2a, 2b is designed with an external, elongated case 20 enclosing a front rod 21 and a rear rod 22. These two rods 21, 22 are normally completely inserted when the lifting device 1 is used as a seat. By pulling out the rods 2, 22 from their case 20, the supporting surface of the stand 2 is extended.
- the rods are locked in fixed positions with the aid of a ball which is arranged in the rod and which is resiliently pressed against any of a number of holes 23 provided in a row in the case 20, whereby the length of the runners 2a, 2b may be varied in a desired manner.
- the runners can be extended both in a backward and a forward direction.
- secondary actuators may be installed inside the runners 2a, 2b, where the secondary actuators may be controlled to push out the rods 21 , 21 displaceable in the case 20.
- the secondary actuators are suitably synchronized with the control of the vertical adjustment of the platform 5 by means of the actuator 4, so that the rods 21, 22 on the respective runner 2a, 2b are pushed out in relation to the height that the platform 5 assumes on each occasion.
- the supporting surface of the lifting device is adapted to the height assumed by the platform 5 of the human lift on each occasion.
- the drive motor 4a in the actuator 4 is supplied with power by a rechargeable battery pack which in the embodiment is arranged inside the frame 3.
- the charging contact for charging the battery pack may be mounted on the frame 3.
- the motors driving the driving wheels 16 are supplied with power by means of a rechargeable battery pack, which may be same battery pack as that which drives the drive motor of the actuator 4, or constitute a separate second battery pack.
- roller members are arranged at the lower side of the stand 2.
- the roller members are suitably arranged in the external corners of the stand.
- the roller means consist of balls 18 which are journalled in ball cages provided below the stand 2.
- the roller means 18 are locked automatically when the lift 1 is loaded, thus preventing this from rolling away in an unwanted manner.
- the driving wheels themselves have the braking function, whereby the function with automatic locking of the roller means 18 is not required in this variant.
- the hand rest 14 When the lifting device 1 is used as a human lift, it is advantageous for the hand rest 14 to be equipped with a tray 25, where the user may temporarily keep tools or other objects in connection with the user carrying out some task standing on the human lift, or quite simply keeps an object which is to be lifted up or down from a shelf, a cabinet, a curtain rod, or the like.
- a tray 25 may be fixedly mounted to the hand rest 14 (see Fig. 3a) or be configured to be rapidly hung onto the hand rest.
- the device is 60 cm. In certain countries, or for dwelling spaces where the ceiling height is more than 240 cm, the device may be designed to achieve a maximum lifting height which is, for example, 75 cm.
