Description

The invention relates to a person support device, as indicated in claim 1.

From the CN201968951U An arm support device for treating patients with forearm injuries is known. The armrest device has a base on which an armrest is attached via a height-adjustable connecting piece. The armrest comprises three support elements in the form of semicircularly curved flat iron, which are mounted at an axial distance from each other and in which the patient places his forearm. By the axial spacing of the support elements to each other can be achieved that the arm of the patient remains easily accessible and can be subjected to medical treatment.

From the DE 20 2010 012 488 U1 there is known an arm support assembly for cardiovascular examination which is provided for supporting an arm during a medical examination and / or treatment on a bed or examination table or similar device. The armrest assembly includes an armrest base plate having a frame, a support support assembly, and an armrest support assembly. The armrest baseplate includes an ergonomically designed foam pad mounted on the baseplate. The foam pad has a U-shaped recess intended to allow support of the elbow and forearm of the patient.

Another armrest assembly for surgical purposes is known from US2007170767A known, wherein a cup-shaped armrest is formed, which is attached to an adjusting mechanism. As a result, the armrest can be adjusted in its spatial position and thus the patient's arm can be stored in the respectively required position in order to facilitate the treatment of the patient's arm for the surgeon.

The US2008079230A , the WO0121128A1 , the DE 20 2009 014 461 U1 and the JP2012019831A show walking aids, which include a wheeled base frame. On the base frame, an armrest is mounted, in which a person with walking weakness or disability can put her forearm, and thereby can support themselves while walking. The armrest is here half-shell-shaped for receiving the forearm, and has a handle on which the user can hold in addition. The body weight of the user can thus be supported and transmitted to the walker.

The in the CN201968951U , of the DE 20 2010 012 488 U1 , of the US2007170767A , of the US2008079230A , of the WO0121128A1 , of the DE 20 2009 014 461 U1 and the JP2012019831A described embodiments have the disadvantage that the armrests are poorly suited for the support of persons with disabilities within tight spaces. Furthermore, they are not suitable for transmitting a horizontal force component to the forearm of a user, thus protecting him from falling over.

In the EP0182308A2 a handle system is shown, which is intended for installation in wet rooms. A person with a handicap can stop or pull on this grip system. The in the EP0182308A2 described embodiment has the disadvantage that especially people with a weakness of the hand muscles or with coordination problems of the hand this handle system can not use in the desired manner, since the hand power or the coordination capacity of these people is not sufficient to enclose a handle sufficiently strong can to hold on to this.

The present invention has for its object to facilitate persons with a handicap in the movement or in the support apparatus, as well as in the hand muscles, such as stroke patients, everyday life in the domestic or private sector, or in public areas.

This object of the invention is achieved by the measures according to claim 1.

According to the invention a person support device is formed, which comprises at least one fastening means for mounting on a vertical mounting surface. The attachment means has a mounting surface which is to be aligned substantially parallel to the vertical attachment surface. Furthermore, the person support device comprises an armrest device, which defines a substantially horizontally oriented, at least approximately tubular or channel-shaped receiving space, which is dimensioned such that a forearm of a user can be inserted into the receiving space. A horizontally aligned portion of the receiving space is provided as a support surface for a user's forearm, which support surface is pulled vertically upwards on a side of the receiving space that is distanced from the mounting surface, so that an approximately vertically oriented boundary wall is subsequently formed on the support surface. The Armauflagevorrichtung is in the state of use substantially rigid and immovable against a vertical mounting surface arranged. Furthermore, the boundary wall in the upper end portion has an in Direction of the mounting surface inclined retaining portion, whereby a placed in the receiving space forearm when a horizontal force component against uncontrolled slipping out can be secured and thus maintaining a standing position of the user is facilitated by the support and holding function of the person support device.

An advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that a rigid and immovable fixation of the Armauflagevorrichtung can be ensured by the fixed mounting or fixing the person support device to a vertical mounting surface, such as a wall. Thus, the Armauflagevorrichtung can also absorb forces in the horizontal direction safely. As a result, a person with a physiological disability or a person with poor coordination with the aid of the person support device can be helped to stand and thus carry out everyday tasks or needs. A surprising advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that a physiologically impaired person can insert their possibly weakened or restricted usable forearm into the armrest by the special shape of the Armauflagevorrichtung, and can fix sufficiently in a standing position with the help of the weakened forearm, without while having to apply a holding or finger power through the hand. The fixation force is applied by positive engagement between the user's forearm and the armrest. It is of particular advantage that can support a person standing by means of a limited functional hand by the inventive design of the person support device, so that the second hand of the person, which may be less restricted, is freely available to carry out, for example, activities of daily personal care can. Thus, people who are dependent on outside help in the normal daily routine, the everyday life considerably easier and thus an increase in personal independence can be achieved.

Furthermore, it may be expedient that the Armauflagevorrichtung has at the top of a continuous opening with an opening width, which is dimensioned such that the forearm of a user in the radial direction in the receiving space unhindered inserted, or can be removed unhindered from this. The advantage here is that the insertion of the forearm in the Armauflagevorrichtung is facilitated by such an opening. A painstaking positioning and threading of the forearm is thus avoided. Furthermore, this opening is at the same time a safety device, since a person who has placed her forearm in the Armauflagevorrichtung, automatically moved out of the Armauflagevorrichtung hand in case of dizziness or weakness and a related fall. As a result, a violation of the hand, such as jamming or getting stuck in the Armauflagevorrichtung, held back.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the opening width is smaller in comparison to a clear width of the receiving space, so that an uncontrolled slipping out of the forearm of a user in the vertical direction is obstructed upward. Of particular surprising advantage that can be achieved by a tapering of the receiving space upwards, that even users with severe disabilities, where usually uncontrolled movements of the handicapped arm are observed, also find a secure hold in the Armauflagevorrichtung. Thus, their confidence in their own stability is strengthened, so that by means of such a training of the person support device a large group of people daily life can be facilitated.

In addition, it may be provided that the Armauflagevorrichtung is designed as an open-top trough-shaped segment, wherein the horizontal length of the trough-shaped segment corresponds approximately to the forearm length of a user. The advantage here is that a stable and at the same time possible pressure-spot free support effect for the user can be achieved by adapting to the anatomical dimension of a user.

Also advantageous is an expression according to which the restraining section inclined in the direction of the mounting surface is oriented at an angle of at least 10 °, in particular at least 30 °, preferably approximately 45 ° to the perpendicular. This ensures that the positive connection between the forearm of a user and the person support device can be accomplished particularly reliable, and thus this finds a good grip in the person support device.

According to one embodiment, it is possible that at least one handle is provided for grasping and holding with the hand of the free, not in the Armauflagevorrichtung to laying arm, the handle is so distanced to Armauflagevorrichtung that inserting the forearm of the user in the Armauflagevorrichtung is not handicapped. The advantage here is that a user with the help of the handle, for example, starting from the sitting position in a chair or wheelchair, can raise relatively easily in the standing position. The handle can be grasped with the stronger hand or with that hand can be taken with which a sufficient holding force can be applied to raise the body weight can. After the winding process, the comparatively handicapped hand can be inserted into the person support device and used to stabilize the body, as a result of which the comparatively grippier hand is released again in order to be able to carry out other tasks.

Furthermore, it may be expedient that the fastening means comprises a vertically directed guide element and cooperates with a mountable on the vertical mounting surface receiving element, so that the Armauflagevorrichtung is height adjustable. Of particular advantage here is that such a trained person support device can be used for people of different body size. Thus, the personal support device is particularly well suited for use in therapeutic facilities by this training. In addition, the personal support device can be easily adapted to changing, health conditions without a new installation is required.

In addition, it can be provided that by means of replaceable on the inside of the Armauflagevorrichtung supported insert elements with different thickness dimensions and / or different transverse extensions and / or longitudinal extensions an individual adjustment of the supporting effect of Armauflagevorrichtung to the physiology of the forearm of different users is possible. Of particular advantage here is that even with this measure, the person support device can be individually adapted to different people. In this way it can be achieved that the functionality of the person support device for a large group of people is sufficiently large. In particular, the personal support device can be adapted by a structural variation of the insert element to a plurality of anatomically different people. In particular, this can improve the cost-effectiveness, the individual adaptability and the conversion flexibility.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the insert element is adapted to the forearm length and / or the forearm diameter of a user. It is advantageous here that also by this measure, the person support device can be individually adapted to a large number of people. This can be achieved that the functionality of the person support device for a large group of people is as satisfactory as possible.

According to an advantageous development can be provided that the insert element is designed as a soft elastic padding compared to the support element. The advantage here is that the padding as possible painless and comfortable support for the user can be achieved. Surprisingly, the stability of the user is thereby increased so that a stronger confidence in the functionality of the person support device is set. In addition, this can be unpleasant pressure points are avoided, so that subsequently the acceptance and the use or personal safety can be further increased.

According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that the insert element is secured by means of a coupling device against slipping relative to the support element. The advantage here is that the insert element thus can be easily and above all quickly and without the aid of a tool removed and replaced. This may be particularly practical for the purpose of cleaning and disinfecting the personal support device, but also for the adaptation of the personal support device to different users.

In particular, it can be advantageous for the coupling device to comprise at least one recess formed in the insert element, which is provided for positive coupling with at least one coupling extension formed on the support element. The advantage here is that the coupling device is designed simply and efficiently by such a structure. In particular, the assignment of at least one recess or recess to the insert element is in functional and economic terms of advantage.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the insert element has openings, which are designed for the discharge of liquids, in particular water. The advantage here is that the person support device is well suited for wet rooms by the formation of such breakthroughs, since water which is introduced into the Armauflagevorrichtung can drain well again. In addition, thereby cleaning the Armauflagevorrichtung is facilitated.

Finally, provision may be made for the insert element to have a surface which is slip-resistant, for example structured, in relation to the wet or moist skin of a user. The advantage here is that the support of the forearm of a user in the Armauflagevorrichtung can be improved, whereby the stability of the user is increased. In particular, this can improve the usability of the armrest device in connection with perspiring skin, but also when used in the area of wet areas.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and these position information in a change in position mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location.

The 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a person support device 1 , in which 1 a vertical cross-section of the person support device 1 shows. 2 shows a plan view of the person support device.

The person support device 1 includes a fastener 2 which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a mounting plate. By the fastener 2 can the person support device 1 on a vertical mounting surface 3 be attached. The mounting surface 3 can be about the front surface of a wall 4 be. The fastener 2 becomes so at the attachment surface 3 attached that a mounting surface 5 of the fastener 2 tired of the mounting surface 3 rests. But it is also the formation of strip-like support elements possible, whereby the fastener 2 selectively or in sections on the mounting surface 3 is applied. It is expedient if, in the attached state of the person support device 1 their mounting surface 5 approximately parallel to the mounting surface 3 is aligned. The fastener 2 This can be done, for example, by the use of screws 6 on the wall 4 be fixed. The screws 6 This can cooperate with dowels or provided in the wall threaded inserts, or can be introduced directly into a hole in the wall. Alternative to the screws 6 can also use other fasteners, such as in the wall 4 fixed threaded rods and rivets or the like can be used. In a further embodiment it can be provided that special receiving elements are already provided in the wall, with which the fastening means 2 for example, positively connected. In a further alternative variant can be provided that the fastening means 2 by using a suction cup with the wall 4 is connected.

Furthermore, the person support device comprises 1 an armrest device 7 which for recording the forearm 8th a user 9 is provided. For this purpose, the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 designed so that they in the mounted state, a substantially horizontally oriented and at least approximately tubular or channel-shaped receiving space 10 Are defined. This recording room 10 is that free space or cavity in which the user is 9 his forearm 8th can insert. The the recording room 10 training or at least Sectionally limiting wall consists of several sections. A horizontally aligned section 11 of the recording room 10 is as a support surface 12 for the forearm 8th a user 9 is provided.

In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving space results 10 essentially in that a thin-walled, tubular or trough-like segment 13 as an armrest device 7 is used. The bearing surface 12 is here at one of the mounting surface 5 distant side of the recording room 10 Pulled vertically upwards, so that next to the support surface 12 an approximately vertically oriented boundary wall 14 is trained. The boundary wall 14 points in the upper end area 15 one towards the mounting surface 3 inclined retaining section 16 on, making one in the recording room 10 laid forearm 8th when a horizontal force component occurs 17 can be secured against uncontrolled slipping out. Through the retention section 16 it is even possible that the forearm 8th on the person support device 1 applied force not only vertically but in extreme cases, even slightly upward pointing can be aligned without affecting the forearm 8th a user 9 from the recording room 10 can slip out. This is particularly the case in persons in which the forearm is exposed to uncontrolled twitching or movement or the coordination capacity is impaired. Thus, the maintenance of a standing position of the user 9 by the support and holding function of the person support device 1 facilitated.

Conveniently, the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 at the top 18 a continuous opening 19 with a predefined opening width 20 on. As opening width 20 becomes the smallest normal distance in the area of the continuous opening 19 designated. The opening width 20 is sized so that the forearm 8th a user 9 easily through the continuous opening 19 can be passed. For this purpose, the opening width 20 in about 10 to 15 cm. According to a practicable training is provided that the opening width 20 in comparison to a clear width 21 of the recording room 10 is lower, causing an uncontrolled slipping out of the forearm 8th a user 9 is held in vertical upward direction.

Furthermore, it is provided that the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 as open-top, trough-shaped segment 22 , For example, as a sheet metal part is formed.

As in 2 clearly visible, corresponds to the horizontal length 23 of the trough-shaped segment 22 or even a thin-walled tube-like segment 13 in about the forearm length 24 a user 9 , The forearm length 24 is here measured as that portion of the forearm which extends from the inside of the elbow groove to the middle of the wrist.

In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal length is 23 of the trough-shaped segment 22 slightly shorter than the forearm length 24 a user 9 so that the forearm of the user 9 at full length or at least with its predominant length in the person support device 1 can be supported.

As in 1 it can be seen in the direction of the mounting surface 5 inclined retaining section 16 at an angle 25 oriented at about 45 ° to the vertical. At such an angle selected can be achieved that the forearm 8th a user 9 good in the recording room 10 can be included so that it gives a sufficient grip. This is particularly necessary for those people in whom uncontrolled twitching of the forearm occur, this in an embodiment with approximately only vertical wall or vertical retention section 16 easy out of the recording room 10 could slip out, leaving a safe stand of the user 9 not given. In accordance with sprightly persons, it is also conceivable that the angle 25 less is chosen, so inserting the forearm 8th in the recording room 10 is relieved. However, it is appropriate that the angle 25 always greater than 0 ° is selected.

In the 1 illustrated person support device 1 can be made of several different parts or be constructed in various ways. The armrest device 7 , which is a thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 includes, for example, may be constructed of several connected by fasteners or by material connection parts. As a result, the Armauflagevorrichtung is rigid and immovable with the fastener 2 connected. It is conceivable that the thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 is formed by a cut plastic tube. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the thin-walled tube-like segment 13 is formed of a fully enclosed plastic tube, wherein in such a variant of the receiving space 10 forms a radially closed cavity.

This requires the user 9 his forearm 8th in the axial direction in an axial opening 26 the armrest device 7 introduce.

In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 for example, rolled from a flat product such as a sheet metal, folded or deep-drawn. Such a sheet material may for example be steel or its alloys or an aluminum material. A wall thickness 27 the thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 This is chosen so that the simplest possible design by the user 9 applied forces can be sufficiently absorbed. The wall thickness 27 Depending on the material selection, this will be approximately between 1 and 4 mm.

In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 is formed by a molded plastic material.

It should generally be ensured that in the area of the axial opening 26 or in the area of the opening 19 Sharp-edged parts are avoided, with rounding or bevels minimizing the risk of injury to the user. This is important because especially older people than users 9 such a person support device 1 will occur.

The 3 to 8th show a further embodiment of the person support device 1 , wherein within this embodiment also differently configured individual features are possible, which will be described in more detail below. Unlike the in 1 illustrated embodiment includes the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 a thin-walled tube-like segment 13 , which is U-shaped. Through an towards mounting surface 5 inclined arrangement of the U- or channel-shaped Armauflagevorrichtung 7 can be achieved that analogous to that in 1 described Ausführungsbespiel a retention section 16 is formed, through which the desired functionality or safety of use of the person support device 1 can be achieved.

Furthermore, it may be appropriate, as in 4 clearly seen that the armrest 7 an insert element 28 which is in the thin-walled tube-like segment 13 is recorded or held. Here is the thin-walled, tube-like segment 13 as a supporting element 29 formed, which the insert element 28 Provides dimensional stability and supports this. The insert element 28 is preferably by a compared to the support element 29 formed relatively soft elastic material. Such a material may be formed for example by a foam core, which is coated with a plastic material, or with cloth or leather.

Preferably, the surface is 30 , in particular the inner surface of the insert element 28 , formed from a robust, liquid-repellent material, which is easy to clean. The surface 30 should preferably be formed by a material which has a pleasant feel, so that when touching the surface 30 by the user 9 the sense of security of the user 9 is further increased. In a special embodiment, it can be provided that the surface 30 of the insert element 28 For example, by a special structuring, slip-resistant to wet or damp skin of a user 9 is trained. But even in conjunction with garments or fabric sections this slip-resistant surface structuring may be appropriate.

The insert element 28 can by various types of attachment to the support element 29 be connected. It is conceivable, for example, that the insert element 28 by a material connection, such as an adhesive bond, with the support element 29 connected is. Preferably, however, is a need-releasable connection, such as a positive connection, between the insert element 28 and support element 29 executed, so that the insert element 28 easily changed or replaced. This also brings with it the advantage that the insert element 28 for example, for cleaning purposes of the support element 29 can be removed.

Furthermore, it can be provided that various insert elements 28 with various geometric designs in a support element 29 can be used, whereby an adaptability of the person support device 1 to the particular needs of a user 9 can be achieved. Such differently sized versions of insert elements 28 be in the 5 to 7 explained or described in more detail.

Furthermore, in the insert element 28 one or more breakthroughs 31 be provided, which are designed for the discharge of liquids, especially water. Such breakthroughs 31 are preferably designed so that they are in the ready state of the person support device 1 at the lowest point of the recording room 10 so that they can drain off the liquid collected here as well as possible.

Furthermore, it can be provided that, as in 3 shown on the person support device 1 one or more handholds 32 are attached, which for grasping and holding by hand 33 or the fingers of the free, not in the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 is provided to laying arm. Such a handle 32 can raise the Serve user from a seated or lying position. The handle 32 in this case is preferably in such a horizontal distance 34 from the armrest device 7 spaced that a user 9 easily his forearm 8th in the armrest device 7 can insert or the forearm 8th as unhindered as possible in the recording room 10 can go.

As a further embodiment variation can be provided that the fastening means 2 a vertically directed guide element 35 includes and with one on the vertical mounting surface 3 mountable receiving element 36 interacts so that the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 is height adjustable. Such a guide connection can be designed, for example, in the form of a dovetail guide. Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous for use in public facilities, such as hospitals, nursing homes or rehab centers, because the height adjustability allows adaptation to the different body sizes of individual users. For fixing the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 in a certain vertical position, a fastener 37 be provided in the form of a thumbscrew.

By such a tommy screw, a clamping or displacement-inhibited connection can be made. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that, for example, a locking device or about a positive connection by inserting securing bolts for fixing the vertical position of the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 is provided.

In the 5 to 7 are different embodiments of the person support device 1 shown, where vary the individual execution details. For example, those on the inside 38 the armrest device 7 supported insert elements 28 designed with different geometrical dimensions. The insert elements 28 have different thickness dimensions 39 , different transverse extensions 40 and different longitudinal extents 41 so that an individual adjustment of the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 to the physiology of the forearm 8th from different users 9 is possible. This allows the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 especially easy on different forearm lengths 24 or to different forearm diameter 42 be adjusted. There are various ways the Armauflagevorrichtung 7 to the dimensions of a forearm 8th a user 9 adapt. Different forearm lengths 24 For example, by varying the longitudinal extent 41 of the insert element 28 be taken into account. Different forearm diameter 42 can through the thickness dimension 39 be taken into account. By different sized transverse extensions 40 can the opening width 20 be varied, with the transverse extent 40 as a stretched length of the insert element 28 is looked at. For insert elements 28 which has a larger transverse extent 40 will also have the supernatant over the thin-walled tube-like segment 13 increased. This allows the opening width 20 reduced or adapted to individual needs or needs.

In a preferred embodiment, the insert element 28 formed by a plastic part, in particular defined by a plate-like foam element, which has a lower curvature when not installed in the installed state. This can be achieved that the insert element 28 in the support element 29 can be used and due to the built-up internal stress, which is generated by the deformation, in the support element 29 jammed or embedded relatively free of play in it.

In one embodiment, it can be provided that the insert element 28 is executed in the unloaded state as a flat element without curvature.

How very good from a synopsis of 5 with the 8th can be seen, in a preferred embodiment, a coupling device 43 be executed, through which the insert element 28 against slipping relative to the support element 29 is secured and through which the insert element 28 in the support element 29 is held. These are in the insert element 28 recesses 44 formed, which for positive connection with at least one of the support element 29 trained clutch extension 45 are provided. The coupling extension 45 engages in the respective recess 44 of the insert element 28 and thus prevents at least relative displacements in the horizontal direction.

In the 9 and 10 is an exemplary application of a person support apparatus already described 1 illustrated.

In 9 is represented as a user 9 , who sits in a wheelchair, in front of the person support device 1 positioned. He embraces with his comparatively stronger hand 33 a handle 32 the person support device 1 , Alternative to the handle 32 It is also possible that one on the wall 4 permanently mounted or one of the person support device 1 remote holding rod is provided, at which a user 9 can hold on.
