Abstract

The lifting frame is formed by a central arm (1) with a central suspension loop or hook (2) and a fastening ring (3) at each end. The rings each receive a vertical shaft (4) which has a projecting back-supporting half-frame (7) at its mid-point and a seat half-frame (6) at its lower end. The upper end of each shaft includes a handle portion (5) which allows rotation of the shaft relative to the arm to bring the half-frame portions into engagement with each other. A collar (3') towards the upper end of each shaft bears against the upper edge of the arm ring into which the shaft is inserted. ADVANTAGE - Rapid positioning below patient, reducing stress and discomfort in lifting operation.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de prise rapide et de soutien pour le levage d'un patient par un "lève malade" comportant une potence ou un bras de levage avec crochet. The present invention relates to a quick setting and support device for lifting a patient by a "patient lifter" comprising a bracket or a lifting arm with hook.

Le soutien est généralement assuré par un assemblage de harnais en toile forte dont la mise en place nécessite le soulèvement successif des membres et d'une partie du corps du patient. Cette opération se révèle fastidieuse et pénible pour les soignants. De plus, les harnais en tension compriment les membres et provoquent des douleurs chez les rhumatisants. Support is generally provided by an assembly of strong canvas harnesses, the installation of which requires successive lifting of the limbs and part of the patient's body. This operation is tedious and painful for caregivers. In addition, tensioned harnesses compress the limbs and cause pain in rheumatics.

Pour y remédier, l'invention propose un dispositif qui - par pivotement commandé de deux palettes horizontales qui supportent, au niveau des cuisses, le poids du corps et de deux demi dossiers verticaux qui soutiennent le buste en position assise forme instantanément un siège rigide qui se verrouille autour du patient, sans le comprimer. To remedy this, the invention proposes a device which - by controlled pivoting of two horizontal pallets which support, at the level of the thighs, the weight of the body and two vertical half-files which support the bust in the sitting position instantly forms a rigid seat which locks around the patient without compressing it.

Ce siège, en laissant libre d'accès la zone du périnée, n'entrave pas les fonctions naturelles et facilite l'hygiène intime. This seat, leaving free access to the perineum area, does not interfere with natural functions and facilitates intimate hygiene.

L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description détaillée, qui va suivre, d'un modèle de réalisation préférentiel en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels la figure I représente le dispositif en position d'ouverture totale. The invention will be better understood from the detailed description which follows of a preferred embodiment with reference to the appended drawings in which FIG. I represents the device in the fully open position.

La figure 2 représente le dispositif en position de fermeture et de verrouillage. Figure 2 shows the device in the closed and locked position.

Le dispositif selon l'invention se compose d'un fléau cintré (1) recevant en son centre un anneau (2) d'accrochage au bras du lève malade, à ses extrémités deux bagues (3) dans lesquelles deux axes (4) verticaux, soutenus chacun par une collerette (3') solidaire de l'axe (4) tournent iibrement sur eux mêmes quand ils sont commandés en rotation par une poignée (5) montée solidaire à leur partie supérieure. The device according to the invention consists of a curved beam (1) receiving in its center a ring (2) for attachment to the arm of the patient lift, at its ends two rings (3) in which two vertical axes (4) , each supported by a collar (3 ') integral with the axis (4) freely rotate on themselves when they are controlled in rotation by a handle (5) mounted integral at their upper part.

Aux deux extrémités d'un tube cintré en forme de U allongé pour constituer un demi dossier (7) de soutien du buste, sont montées deux bagues (8) qui entourent l'axe vertical (4) à mi-hauteur. Ces bagues (8) sont soutenues par deux collerettes (8') solidaires de l'axe (4). Les deux demi dossiers (7) pivotent librement dans le plan horizontal jusqu'à leur position de jonction et de verrouillage. At the two ends of a bent tube in the shape of an elongated U to form a half backrest (7) for supporting the bust, two rings (8) are mounted which surround the vertical axis (4) at mid-height. These rings (8) are supported by two flanges (8 ') integral with the axis (4). The two half backrests (7) pivot freely in the horizontal plane to their junction and locking position.

A l'extrémité inférieure de l'axe vertical (4) est montée, perpendiculaire et solidaire, une palette (6) de support de cuisse sensiblement en forme de demi cercle. Sa partie plane (9) est perpendiculaire à l'axe de la poignée de rotation (5), et du même coté de l'axe (4) vertical. Les parties planes (9) des palettes (6) de support des cuisses sont à une distance de l'axe (4) vertical telle que lorsqu'elles se font face, elles laissent entre elles un rectangle libre permettant l'accès à la zone du périnée. At the lower end of the vertical axis (4) is mounted, perpendicular and integral, a thigh support pallet (6) substantially in the shape of a semicircle. Its flat part (9) is perpendicular to the axis of the rotation handle (5), and on the same side of the vertical axis (4). The flat parts (9) of the thigh support pallets (6) are at a distance from the vertical axis (4) such that when facing each other, they leave a free rectangle between them allowing access to the area of the perineum.

La poignée de commande (5) solidaire de l'axe vertical (4) qu'elle entraîne. en rotation permet le pivotement de 360 dans le plan horizontal de la palette de support (6) elle-même solidaire de l'axe (4). The control handle (5) integral with the vertical axis (4) which it drives. in rotation allows the pivoting of 360 in the horizontal plane of the support pallet (6) itself secured to the axis (4).

Deux demi boucles solidaires, chacune, de I'extrémité du demi dossier (7) de soutien du buste assurent le verrouillage. Two integral half loops, each one, of the end of the half backrest (7) supporting the bust ensure the locking.

La conception du dispositif permet de former instantanément le siège autour du patient assis, l'indèrendance des organes entre eux permet de commencer ltopEration soit au niveau des cuisses, soit au niveau du buste. On présente le dispositif avec le fléau (1) orienté vers la poitrine. Les derni-dossiers (7) de soutien du buste sont grand ouverts. Les palettes (6) de support des cuisses ont été - par rotation des poignées (5) positionnées à l'extérieur et laissent libre l'espace intérieur situé entre les deux axes (4) verticaux. The design of the device makes it possible to instantly form the seat around the seated patient, the independence of the organs between them makes it possible to start ltopEration either at the thighs or at the bust. The device is presented with the beam (1) facing the chest. The last bust support files (7) are wide open. The thigh support pallets (6) have been - by rotation of the handles (5) positioned outside and leave free the interior space located between the two vertical axes (4).

On entoure le buste du patient par rotation vers l'arrière des deux demi-dossiers (7) dont le verrouillage rend impossiblet une ouverture intempestive. We surround the patient's bust by rotating the two half-backs (7) backwards, the locking of which makes untimely opening impossible.

Par la rotation des poignées (5) de commande, on entraîne celle des palettes (6) de support qui, pivotant de ltextérieur vers l'intérieur s'introduisent progressivement sous les cuisses du patient, jusqu'à offrir en fin de rotation la surface optimale pour son confort. Pour cette position des palettes (6) de support, les poignées (5) de commande par construction - viennent en recouvrement du fléau (1) et se font face. By the rotation of the control handles (5), one drives that of the support pallets (6) which, pivoting from the inside inwards are gradually introduced under the patient's thighs, until the surface is offered at the end of rotation. optimal for its comfort. For this position of the support pallets (6), the control handles (5) by construction - come to overlap the beam (1) and face each other.

Pour libérer le patient, on procède en sens inverse, en commençant selon le besoin par les cuisses ou le buste. To release the patient, proceed in the opposite direction, starting as needed with the thighs or bust.

La manoeuvre de chaque palette de support (6) et de chaque demi dossier (7) de soutien s'effectue séparément ou simultanément. The operation of each support pallet (6) and of each support half-backrest (7) is carried out separately or simultaneously.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au levage des
personnes âgées dépendantes, en institution comme à domicile. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for lifting
dependent elderly people, in institutions and at home.
