Abstract

The device has a reservoir tube (1) in which a lever tube (2) is introduced and is actuated through a valve (7) which permits the inlet of pressurized water that carry out the lifting of the tubes and a supporter arm (6). A valve (8) permits the evacuation of the water in the tube (1) in order to lower the tubes and the arm. A user is placed in the arm and the valves are actuated through a case (9).

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour lever ou descendre une personne âgée ou à mobilité réduite.The present invention relates to a device for lifting or lowering an elderly person or reduced mobility.

La levée des personnes se fait traditionnellement par un dispositif à chaîne ou électrique.The lifting of people is traditionally done by a device chain or electric.

Présentant dans le cas électrique un risque d'électrocution et dans le cas à chaîne la présence d'une tierce personne.Presenting in the electric case a risk of electrocution and in the case of chain the presence of a third person.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients, il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un vérin à eau qui permet de soulever ou descendre une personne de sa baignoire ou de son WC simplement par une action d'alimentation en eau du vérin qui sous la pression lèvera la personne, ou par action de vidange du vérin descendra la personneThe device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages, it comprises in fact according to a first feature a water cylinder that can lift or lower a person from his bath or WC simply by a water supply action of the cylinder that under pressure will lift the person, or by draining action of the cylinder will come down the person

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation, le vérin sera constitué de 3 tubes.
1 tube servant de réservoir.
1 tube servant de levier sous l'action du remplissage du tube réservoir
1 tube servant de cache et dans le cas du bain servant également de guide du bras souteneurAccording to particular embodiments, the jack will consist of 3 tubes.
1 tube serving as a reservoir.
1 tube acting as a lever under the action of filling the reservoir tube
1 tube serving as a cover and in the case of the bath also serving as a guide for the pimper arm

La base du tube (1) réservoir sera pourvue de 2 orifices (4 et 5) et d'une platine (15).
1 orifice pour l'alimentation en eau, cette alimentation se fera par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne (7) actionnée à distance.
1 orifice pour l'évacuation de l'eau, cette évacuation se fera par l'intermédiaire d'une vanne (8) actionnée à distance.The base of the tube (1) tank will be provided with 2 holes (4 and 5) and a plate (15).
1 port for the water supply, this supply will be via a valve (7) operated remotely.
1 orifice for the evacuation of water, this evacuation will be done through a valve (8) operated remotely.

Dans le cas d'utilisation pour le bain, le tube réservoir aura sur sa face extérieure un cheminement (11) qui dirigera l'excroissance située sur la face interne du tube cache et guide.
1 tube N°2 servant de levier sur lequel sera fixé un bras souteneur (6) qui fera corps avec le tube N°3 cache et guide, à la base de ce tube il y aura un joint d'étanchéité (12)
1 tube N°3 servant de cache et de guide de manière à présenter un ensemble esthétique, de guide dans le cas du bain, il aura sur la face interne une excroissance(10) qui suivra le cheminement (11) du tube N°1.In the case of use for the bath, the reservoir tube will have on its outer face a path (11) which will direct the protrusion located on the inner face of the cover tube and guide.
1 tube No. 2 serving as a lever on which will be attached a pusher arm (6) which will be integral with the tube No. 3 cover and guide, at the base of this tube there will be a seal (12)
1 tube No. 3 serving as cover and guide so as to have an aesthetic assembly, guide in the case of the bath, it will have on the inner face an outgrowth (10) which will follow the path (11) of the tube No. 1 .

L'excroissance qui suivra le cheminement aura comme particularité de permettre : Dans le cas du bain de permettre à l'ensemble du tube 1 et 2 d'avoir une rotation de manière à prendre une personne à l'extérieure de la baignoire, de la soulever de faire une rotation et de descendre la personne dans la baignoire. Ainsi que l'opération inverseThe growth that will follow the path will have the particularity to allow: In the case of the bath to allow the whole of the tube 1 and 2 to have a rotation so as to take a person outside the bathtub, the lift to rotate and lower the person into the bathtub. As well as the reverse operation

Dans le cas de son utilisation pour les WC l'excroissance suivra un cheminement droitIn the case of its use for WC the outgrowth will follow a straight path

Ainsi quand l'utilisateur sera positionné dans le bras souteneur (6), il lui suffira d'actionner la vanne de remplissage qui permettra à l'eau de pénétrer dans le tube N°1, la pression de l'eau fera monter les tubes 2 et 3 auxquels est fixé le bras souteneur. Dans le cas du bain la personne soulevée sera déplacée dans un mouvement tournant puis descendue dans la baignoire. Puis l'action sera inversée à la fin du bain.Thus when the user is positioned in the pimp arm (6), it will be sufficient to actuate the filling valve that will allow the water to enter the tube No. 1, the water pressure will raise the tubes 2 and 3 which is attached the pimp arm. In the case of the bath the lifted person will be moved in a turning motion and then lowered into the bathtub. Then the action will be reversed at the end of the bath.

Dans le cas de l'utilisation pour les WC, la personne sera descendue au niveau de la cuvette des WC, puis à la fin de l'utilisation des WC l'action sera inversée, et la personne sera relevée.dans le cas d'utilisation pour le bain, le bras souteneur sera équipé d'un siège figure 1In the case of use for the WC, the person will be lowered to the level of the toilet bowl, then at the end of the use of the WC the action will be reversed, and the person will be relieved. use for the bath, the pimp arm will be equipped with a seat figure 1

Dans le cas d'utilisation pour les WC le bras souteneur sera équipée d'un tube formant un ovale ouvert (16) sur lequel est soudée une platine (17) devant recevoir un abattant de WC figure 2In the case of use for toilets the pimp arm will be equipped with a tube forming an open oval (16) on which is welded a plate (17) to receive a WC flap FIG 2

Dans le cas d'utilisation pour les WC le lève personne pourra actionner directement l'ensemble des WC figure 3In the case of use for toilets the lift will be able to operate directly all the toilets figure 3

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la levé et descente des personnes physiquesThe device according to the invention is particularly intended for the survey and descent of natural persons

Les vannes (7) et (8) sont raccordées au tube (1) et la platine (15) est reliée au tube (1) Les vannes (7) et (8) sont activées par le boîtier (9)The valves (7) and (8) are connected to the tube (1) and the plate (15) is connected to the tube (1) The valves (7) and (8) are activated by the housing (9)
