Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un lit d'hospitalisation comprenant un cadre de forme générale rectangulaire, des éléments de protection de tête et de pied de lit sur les deux petits côtés opposés dudit cadre et des éléments de protection latéraux sous la forme de barrières latérales pouvant être relevées et abaissées, sur les deux grands côtés opposés dudit cadre.The present invention relates to a hospital bed comprising a generally rectangular frame, elements of protection of head and footboard on the two opposite small sides of said frame and side protective elements in the form of barriers can be raised and lowered on both long sides opposite of said frame.

De tels lits d'hospitalisation sont bien connus, avec divers modes de réalisation des barrières latérales de protection. Ces barrières peuvent être constituées, par exemple, par plusieurs barreaux horizontaux dont les extrémités opposées sont montées coulissantes dans des glissières verticales solidaires des éléments de tête et de pied du lit, constitués par des panneaux.Such hospital beds are well known, with various embodiments of the lateral protection barriers. These barriers can be made, for example, by several horizontal bars the opposite ends of which are slidably mounted in vertical slides integral with the head and foot elements of the bed, consisting of panels.

Un lit d'hospitalisation comprenant ce type de barrières est illustré par exemple par le document DE-U-295 07 355.A hospital bed with this type of barrier is illustrated for example by document DE-U-295 07 355.

D'autres types de barrières latérales de protection sont du type pliable, ces barrières étant montées sur le cadre de lit de manière à pouvoir être abaissées par pliage et à pouvoir être relevées par dépliage autour d'axes d'articulation horizontaux disposés transversalement à la longueur du lit.Other types of lateral protective barriers are of the type foldable, these barriers being mounted on the bed frame so that it can be lowered by folding and able to be raised by unfolding around of horizontal articulation axes arranged transversely to the length bed.

Un inconvénient commun à toutes les barrières latérales de lits d'hospitalisation consiste dans le fait que ces barrières, même en position abaissée, gênent considérablement l'accès au cadre et plus particulièrement au sommier, ce qui pose au personnel soignant des problèmes pour refaire le lit, opération qui peut être très fréquente en milieu hospitalier. Un démontage plus ou moins complet des barrières faciliterait l'accès au sommier, mais il s'agit là d'une opération généralement trop longue et compliquée.A disadvantage common to all side rails of beds hospitalization consists in the fact that these barriers, even in position lowered, considerably hamper access to the frame and more especially the box spring, which poses to nursing staff problems with remaking the bed, an operation which can be very frequent in hospital environment. A more or less complete dismantling of the barriers would facilitate access to the box spring, but this is an operation usually too long and complicated.

On pourrait certes envisager de monter les barrières latéralement à plus grande distance du cadre du lit, mais la largeur hors tout du lit serait ainsi accrue, ce qui gênerait le déplacement du lit, notamment dans des endroits exigus.We could certainly consider mounting the barriers laterally at a greater distance from the bed frame, but the width outside the whole of the bed would thus be increased, which would hinder the movement of the bed, especially in cramped places.

La présente invention vise un lit d'hospitalisation comprenant des barrières latérales de protection susceptibles d'être relevées et abaissées, conformées de manière à faciliter l'accès au sommier du lit, par exemple pour refaire le lit, tout en n'augmentant pas la largeur hors tout du lit lors du déplacement de ce dernier.The present invention relates to a hospital bed comprising protective side barriers that can be raised and lowered, shaped so as to facilitate access to the bed base, by example to remake the bed, while not increasing the overall width of the reads when moving it.

Le lit d'hospitalisation, objet de l'invention, comprend un cadre de forme générale rectangulaire présentant sur les deux petits côtés opposés du cadre des éléments de protection de tête et de pied de lit et sur les deux grands côtés opposés du cadre des éléments de protection latéraux sous la forme de barrières latérales pouvant être relevées et abaissées, lesdites barrières latérales étant conformées de manière à pouvoir être écartées du cadre lorsqu'elles sont abaissées et à pouvoir être rapprochées du cadre lorsqu'elles sont relevées.The hospital bed, object of the invention, includes a frame generally rectangular in shape with two short sides opposite of the frame of the head and footboard protection elements and on the two opposite long sides of the frame of the protective elements side barriers in the form of side barriers which can be raised and lowered, said side barriers being shaped so as to can be removed from the frame when lowered and can be close to the frame when raised.

Ainsi, lorsqu'elles sont abaissées et écartées du cadre, les barrières latérales permettent au personnel hospitalier d'accéder aisément au sommier pour pouvoir refaire le lit, tandis que lorsqu'elles sont relevées et rapprochées du cadre, les barrières latérales permettent le déplacement aisé du lit dans les endroits exigus tout en offrant une sécurité optimale à l'occupant du lit.Thus, when they are lowered and removed from the frame, the side barriers allow hospital staff to easily access to be able to remake the bed, while when they are raised and brought closer to the frame, the lateral barriers allow the easy movement of the bed in tight spaces while providing optimum safety for the occupant of the bed.

Dans le cadre de l'invention, les barrières latérales peuvent être du type pliable, étant montées pivotantes sur le cadre de lit de manière à pouvoir être abaissées par pliage et à pouvoir être relevées par dépliage, par pivotement autour d'axes d'articulation horizontaux disposés transversalement à la longueur du lit. Les moyens de montage pivotant des barrière latérales sur le cadre sont alors avantageusement réalisés sous la forme de systèmes vis-écrou, de sorte que les mouvements de pivotement, pour le pliage et l'abaissement et pour le dépliage et relevage des barrières latérales, s'accompagnent de mouvements de translation axiale pour l'écartement et le rapprochement des barrières latérales du cadre de lit. Les deux mouvements de pivotement et de translation axiale des barrières latérales sont ainsi simultanés, donc synchronisés.In the context of the invention, the side barriers can be of the foldable type, being pivotally mounted on the bed frame so as to be able to be lowered by folding and able to be raised by unfolding, by pivoting around horizontal articulation axes arranged transversely to the length of the bed. The pivoting mounting means of the side barriers on the frame are then advantageously made under the form of screw-nut systems, so that the pivoting movements, for folding and lowering and for unfolding and lifting the barriers side, are accompanied by axial translational movements to the spacing and approximation of the side rails of the bed frame. The two pivoting and axial translation movements of the barriers lateral are thus simultaneous, therefore synchronized.

Suivant un autre mode de réalisation, les barrières latérales peuvent être montées à leurs extrémités sur des supports pivotants articulés au-dessus du cadre par des axes longitudinaux sur les éléments de protection de tête et de pied (panneau de tête et panneau de pied) du lit, de manière que les barrières latérales puissent être écartées et rapprochées du cadre par pivotement desdits supports par rapport aux éléments de tête et de pied du lit.According to another embodiment, the side barriers can be mounted at their ends on pivoting supports articulated above the frame by longitudinal axes on the elements head and foot protection (head panel and foot panel) of the bed, so that the side rails can be moved apart and brought closer of the frame by pivoting of said supports relative to the head elements and foot of the bed.

De préférence, lesdits supports pivotants peuvent comprendre des moyens pour leur verrouillage dans les deux positions de pivotement correspondant l'une à la position d'écartement et l'autre à la position de rapprochement par rapport au cadre de lit.Preferably, said pivoting supports can comprise means for locking them in the two pivoting positions one corresponding to the spacing position and the other to the position of approximation to the bed frame.

Dans ce cas, les barrières latérales peuvent avantageusement comprendre de façon connue en soi des barreaux horizontaux dont les extrémités sont montées coulissantes dans des glissières desdits supports pivotants.In this case, the side barriers can advantageously understand in a manner known per se horizontal bars whose ends are slidably mounted in slides of said supports pivoting.

En se référant aux dessins annexés, on va décrire ci-après plus en détail deux modes de réalisation illustratifs et non limitatifs d'un lit d'hospitalisation conforme à l'invention; sur les dessins :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un premier mode de réalisation d'un lit conforme à l'invention, en position relevée des barrières latérales;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du lit de la figure 1, en position abaissée des barrières latérales;
  • les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues partielles en coupe transversale du lit des figures 1 et 2, montrant respectivement une barrière latérale en position relevée et en position abaissée;
  • la figure 5 est une vue de détail à plus grande échelle d'un axe d'articulation en forme de vis de la barrière latérale suivant les figures 3 et 4;
  • la figure 6 est une coupe suivant VI-VI de la figure 5;
  • les figures 7 et 8 sont des vues selon les figures 1 et 2 d'un autre mode de réalisation d'un lit conforme à l'invention; et
  • les figures 9 et 10 sont des vues partielles en coupe transversale d'une barrière latérale du lit suivant les figures 7 et 8, respectivement en position relevée et en position abaissée.
    • Referring to the accompanying drawings, there will be described below in more detail two illustrative and non-limiting embodiments of a hospital bed according to the invention; on the drawings:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a bed according to the invention, in the raised position of the side rails;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of the bed of Figure 1, in the lowered position of the side rails;
  • Figures 3 and 4 are partial cross-sectional views of the bed of Figures 1 and 2, respectively showing a side barrier in the raised position and in the lowered position;
  • Figure 5 is a detail view on a larger scale of a hinge pin in the form of a screw of the side barrier according to Figures 3 and 4;
  • Figure 6 is a section along VI-VI of Figure 5;
  • Figures 7 and 8 are views according to Figures 1 and 2 of another embodiment of a bed according to the invention; and
  • Figures 9 and 10 are partial cross-sectional views of a side barrier of the bed according to Figures 7 and 8, respectively in the raised position and in the lowered position.

    • Suivant les figures 1 et 2, un lit d'hospitalisation comprend, de façon connue en soi, un cadre supérieur 1 monté sur un châssis 2 équipé de roulettes 3, de manière à pouvoir être réglé en hauteur par rapport au châssis 2, par des moyens usuels, qui ne relèvent pas de la présente invention. Le cadre 1 de forme générale rectangulaire, portant un sommier 4, comporte un panneau de tête 5 et un panneau de pied 6, disposés sur les deux petits côtés opposés du cadre 1. Sur les deux grands côtés opposés, le cadre 1 est équipé de barrières latérales de protection 7.According to Figures 1 and 2, a hospital bed includes, in known manner, an upper frame 1 mounted on a chassis 2 equipped with castors 3, so that it can be adjusted in height relative to the chassis 2, by usual means, which do not fall within the scope of this invention. The frame 1 of generally rectangular shape, carrying a box spring 4, comprises a head panel 5 and a foot panel 6, arranged on the two opposite small sides of the frame 1. On the two opposite large sides, the frame 1 is fitted with lateral protective barriers 7.

    Tel que cela apparaít en particulier sur les figures 1, 3 et 4, chaque barrière latérale 7 comprend essentiellement deux montants 8 dont une extrémité est solidaire d'un axe d'articulation 9 monté pivotant dans une patte de fixation 10 en forme d'étau bloquée sur un longeron 11 du cadre 1 (voir figures 3, 4 et 5) de telle manière que l'axe 9 soit horizontal et perpendiculaire à la longueur du cadre 1. Plusieurs barreaux 12, au nombre de trois dans l'exemple représenté, sont articulés entre les deux montants 8, à différentes hauteurs de ces derniers, de manière que les barreaux soient parallèles et horizontaux.As shown in particular in Figures 1, 3 and 4, each side barrier 7 essentially comprises two uprights 8 of which one end is integral with a hinge pin 9 pivotally mounted in a clamp 10 in the form of a vice locked on a side member 11 of the frame 1 (see Figures 3, 4 and 5) so that the axis 9 is horizontal and perpendicular to the length of the frame 1. Several bars 12, at number of three in the example shown, are articulated between the two uprights 8, at different heights, so that the bars are parallel and horizontal.

    Chaque axe d'articulation 9 est réalisé sous la forme d'une vis, comportant un filet 13 à grand pas, et chaque patte de fixation 10 comporte une broche ou cheville 14 qui est montée dans la patte 10 de manière à pénétrer dans le perçage 15 cylindrique ménagé dans la patte 10 pour servir de palier à l'axe de pivotement 9, comme le montre surtout la figure 6. La patte 10 forme ainsi une sorte d'écrou pour l'axe de pivotement 9 formant vis.Each hinge pin 9 is produced in the form of a screw, comprising a thread 13 with large pitch, and each fixing lug 10 comprises a pin or pin 14 which is mounted in the tab 10 so as to enter the cylindrical bore 15 formed in the tab 10 to serve as a bearing for the pivot axis 9, as shown above in the figure 6. The tab 10 thus forms a kind of nut for the pivot axis 9 forming screw.

    Par conséquent, le mouvement de pivotement que l'axe 9 de chaque montant 8 d'une barrière 7 effectue, lors du passage de la barrière de la position relevée selon la figure 1 à la position abaissée selon la figure 2, et inversement, s'accompagne d'un mouvement de translation de l'axe 9, le sens du filet 13 de l'axe 9 étant tel que, comme le montrent les figures 3 et 4, le pivotement de l'axe 9 dans un sens, en vue du passage de la barrière 7 de la position relevée à la position abaissée, s'accompagne d'un mouvement de translation de la barrière 7 d'une position rapprochée du longeron 11 du cadre 1 à une position écartée du longeron 11, et inversement.Therefore, the pivoting movement that the axis 9 of each upright 8 of a barrier 7 performs, during the passage of the barrier from the raised position according to figure 1 to the lowered position according to figure 2, and conversely, is accompanied by a translational movement of the axis 9, the direction of the thread 13 of the axis 9 being such that, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the pivoting of the axis 9 in one direction, for the passage of the barrier 7 from the raised position to the lowered position, is accompanied by a translational movement of the barrier 7 from a position close to the spar 11 of the frame 1 in a position spaced from the spar 11, and Conversely.

    Par conséquent, en position relevée des barrières, selon les figures 1 et 3, les barrières 7 sont rapprochées du cadre 1, le lit présentant une largeur minimale Imin, tandis qu'en position abaissée des barrières selon les figures 2 et 4, les barrières 7 sont écartées du cadre 1, le lit présentant une largeur maximale Imax.Consequently, in the raised position of the barriers, according to FIGS. 1 and 3, the barriers 7 are brought closer to the frame 1, the bed having a minimum width I min , while in the lowered position of the barriers according to FIGS. 2 and 4, the barriers 7 are separated from frame 1, the bed having a maximum width I max .

    Le lit d'hospitalisation suivant les figures 7 à 10, comprend également un cadre 1 monté de façon réglable en hauteur sur un châssis 2 équipé de roulettes 3 et portant un sommier 4, un panneau de tête 5 et un panneau de pied 6. Ce lit est équipé de deux barrières latérales 16 constituées chacune de deux barreaux horizontaux 17 dont les extrémités opposées sont montées coulissantes dans des glissières verticales 18. Les glissières sont disposées chacune sur un support 19 pivotant articulé à son extrémité supérieure par un axe 20 horizontal, parallèle à la longueur du lit, sur un bord latéral du panneau de tête 5, en partie haute de ce panneau. Il en est de même pour les glissières opposées, non visibles sur les dessins, disposées sur les supports pivotants 19 articulés sur le panneau de pied 6.The hospital bed according to Figures 7 to 10, includes also a frame 1 mounted in a height-adjustable manner on a frame 2 fitted with casters 3 and carrying a box spring 4, a head panel 5 and a foot panel 6. This bed is equipped with two side rails 16 each consisting of two horizontal bars 17 whose ends opposite are slidably mounted in vertical slides 18. The slides are each arranged on a pivoting support 19 articulated at its upper end by a horizontal axis 20, parallel to the length of the bed, on a lateral edge of the head panel 5, in the upper part of this panel. It is the same for the opposite slides, not visible on the drawings, arranged on the pivoting supports 19 articulated on the foot panel 6.

    Comme le montrent surtout les figures 9 et 10, chaque barrière latérale 16 peut être amenée d'une position haute, suivant la figure 9, à une position basse, suivant la figure 10, et d'une position rapprochée du longeron 11 du cadre 1, selon la figure 9, à une position écartée du longeron 11, selon la figure 10, par translation des barreaux 17 et par pivotement des supports 19. Ainsi, dans ce mode de réalisation également, le lit présente une largeur minimale Imin et offre une protection optimale dans l'une des positions (barrières 16 relevées et rapprochées des longerons 11, selon la figure 9), et présente une largeur maximale Imax et offre un accès aisé au sommier dans l'autre position (barrières 16 abaissées et écartées des longerons 11, selon la figure 10).As shown above in FIGS. 9 and 10, each lateral barrier 16 can be brought from a high position, according to FIG. 9, to a low position, according to FIG. 10, and from a position close to the spar 11 of the frame 1 , according to Figure 9, in a position spaced from the beam 11, according to Figure 10, by translation of the bars 17 and by pivoting of the supports 19. Thus, in this embodiment also, the bed has a minimum width I min and offers optimal protection in one of the positions (barriers 16 raised and close to the side members 11, according to FIG. 9), and has a maximum width I max and offers easy access to the bed base in the other position (barriers 16 lowered and spaced apart side members 11, according to FIG. 10).

    Dans le mode de réalisation suivant les figures 7 à 10, des moyens de verrouillage 21, 22 de type connu en soi, sont prévus sur les supports pivotants 19 et sur le cadre de lit 1 pour maintenir les supports pivotants 19 dans les deux positions extrêmes correspondant, l'une à la position rapprochée selon la figure 9, et l'autre à la postion écartée selon la figure 10.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 7 to 10, locking means 21, 22 of a type known per se, are provided on the swivel supports 19 and on the bed frame 1 to hold the supports pivoting 19 in the two corresponding extreme positions, one at the close position according to FIG. 9, and the other in the postion separated according to the figure 10.

    Bien entendu, d'autres modes de réalisation concernant les barrières latérales sont concevables dans le cadre de l'invention, dans la mesure où les barrières assument les deux fonctions recherchées, à savoir une protection optimale pour l'occupant et une largeur minimale du lit en position relevée et un accès optimal au lit et notamment au sommier du lit en position abaissée.Of course, other embodiments concerning the side barriers are conceivable in the context of the invention, in the the extent to which the barriers fulfill the two desired functions, namely optimal protection for the occupant and a minimum width of the bed raised position and optimal access to the bed and in particular to the bed base in the lowered position.
