Description

L'invention se rapporte à un lit à barrière latérale escamotable et plus particulièrement à un lit comportant un élément de barrière latéral mobile entre une position haute et une position basse rétractée sous le bord du lit. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un perfectionnement visant à améliorer la cinématique de la barrière entre sa position haute et sa position basse rétractée.The invention relates to a retractable lateral barrier bed and more particularly to a bed comprising a lateral barrier element movable between a high position and a lowered position retracted under the edge of the bed. The invention more particularly relates to an improvement to improve the kinematics of the barrier between its upper position and its retracted lower position.

On connaît un lit de malade muni d'au moins une barrière latérale escamotable. Le lit comporte un cadre ou châssis inférieur supportant le plan de couchage et un élément de barrière latéral s'étendant le long d'un côté du cadre. L'élément de barrière, le cadre de lit (plus particulièrement une traverse longitudinale de celui-ci) et deux bras parallèles (respectivement rattachés avec articulation au cadre et audit élément de barrière) forment un mécanisme à parallélogramme déformable permettant de déplacer l'élément de barrière entre deux positions stables, une position supérieure, au-dessus du matelas du lit, pour empêcher la chute du patient et une position inférieure voisine du cadre du lit. La barrière est abaissée lorsqu'on désire transférer le patient ou lui prodiguer des soins.There is a patient bed provided with at least one retractable side barrier. The bed includes a lower frame or frame supporting the sleeping surface and a side barrier element extending along one side of the frame. The barrier element, the bed frame (more particularly a longitudinal cross-member thereof) and two parallel arms (respectively attached with articulation to the frame and to said barrier element) form a deformable parallelogram mechanism for moving the element. barrier between two stable positions, an upper position, above the mattress of the bed, to prevent the fall of the patient and a lower position adjacent to the frame of the bed. The barrier is lowered when you want to transfer the patient or provide care.

Plusieurs facteurs doivent être pris en considération dans la mise au point d'un tel lit.Several factors must be taken into account in the development of such a bed.

Pour le transport du lit (monté sur roulettes) il est avantageux que la dimension transversale hors tout du lit, soit aussi faible que possible pour que celui-ci puisse traverser des portes relativement étroites ou être engagé dans des ascenseurs exigus.For transporting the bed (mounted on wheels) it is advantageous that the overall transverse dimension of the bed is as small as possible so that it can pass through relatively narrow doors or be engaged in narrow elevators.

Inversement, le confort du patient requiert un matelas aussi large que possible.Conversely, the comfort of the patient requires a mattress as wide as possible.

En outre, au moment du transfert du patient entre une civière et le lit, il est souhaitable d'avoir une distance aussi faible que possible entre le bord de la civière et le bord du matelas, la barrière étant bien entendu en position abaissée.In addition, when transferring the patient between a stretcher and the bed, it is desirable to have as little distance as possible between the edge of the stretcher and the edge of the mattress, the barrier being of course in the lowered position.

Pour toutes ces raisons, il a été imaginé de rendre la barrière escamotable sous le matelas, au voisinage du cadre, lorsque celle-ci est en position abaissée. Des mécanismes ont donc été imaginés pour abaisser la barrière, puis la rétracter, en position basse, sous le lit. Cette trajectoire se décompose en un mouvement vertical de la barrière, tout en effectuant une rotation dans son propre plan, suivi d'un mouvement transversal permettant de l'engager sous le matelas de façon que la barrière ne puisse constituer un obstacle gênant pendant le déplacement du lit ou lorsqu'on y approche une civière.For all these reasons, it has been imagined to make the barrier retractable under the mattress, in the vicinity of the frame, when the latter is in the lowered position. Mechanisms have therefore been devised to lower the barrier and then retract, in the lower position, under the bed. This trajectory breaks down into a vertical movement of the barrier, while rotating in its own plane, followed by a movement transversal to engage under the mattress so that the barrier can not be a hindrance during the movement of the bed or when approaching a stretcher.

L'invention permet d'améliorer la cinématique d'une telle barrière en combinant la rotation et le déplacement transversal pour permettre à la barrière d'être escamotée dans un seul mouvement.The invention makes it possible to improve the kinematics of such a barrier by combining the rotation and the transverse displacement to allow the barrier to be retracted in a single movement.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un lit à barrière latérale escamotable comportant un cadre de lit, un élément de barrière latéral s'étendant le long d'un côté dudit cadre et deux bras parallèles respectivement rattachés avec articulation audit cadre et audit élément de barrière, caractérisé en ce que chaque bras est rattaché audit cadre de lit par un mécanisme télescopique à deux éléments, intérieur et extérieur, l'un fixé au cadre et l'autre audit bras et en ce que ces deux éléments sont assujettis l'un à l'autre par une liaison de forme propre à faire varier la position transversale dudit élément de barrière en même temps que son déplacement vertical.More particularly, the invention relates to a retractable side barrier bed having a bed frame, a side barrier member extending along one side of said frame, and two parallel arms respectively attached with said frame to said barrier member. , characterized in that each arm is attached to said bed frame by a telescopic mechanism with two elements, inside and outside, one fixed to the frame and the other arm audit and in that these two elements are subject to the other by a shaped connection adapted to vary the transverse position of said barrier element at the same time as its vertical movement.

Lorsque l'élément de barrière est en position basse, le mécanisme télescopique est rétracté au maximum en sorte que les deux bras et l'élément de barrière latéral sont rétractés.When the barrier element is in a low position, the telescopic mechanism is retracted to the maximum extent so that both arms and the lateral barrier element are retracted.

Avantageusement, pour chaque mécanisme télescopique, l'élément solidaire du cadre de lit renferme l'élément fixé au bras. Il peut être soudé au cadre.Advantageously, for each telescopic mechanism, the element integral with the bed frame encloses the element attached to the arm. It can be welded to the frame.

Selon une possibilité la liaison de forme comprend un ergot porté par un élément et une rainure ménagée dans l'autre.According to one possibility the form connection comprises a lug carried by one element and a groove formed in the other.

Les ergots des deux mécanismes télescopiques permettent de combiner les deux mouvements de rotation et de translation transversale mais aussi de rattacher la barrière à l'élément solidaire du cadre de lit.The lugs of the two telescopic mechanisms allow to combine the two movements of rotation and transverse translation but also to reattach the barrier to the element integral with the bed frame.

Selon une variante possible, pour chaque mécanisme télescopique, l'ergot est solidaire de l'élément intérieur et fait saillie extérieurement en étant engagé dans la rainure ménagée dans l'élément extérieur.According to a possible variant, for each telescopic mechanism, the lug is integral with the inner member and protrudes externally by being engaged in the groove in the outer member.

L'agencement inverse est possible, à savoir que l'ergot peut être solidaire de l'élément extérieur et faire saillie intérieurement en étant engagé dans la rainure ménagée dans l'élément intérieur.The reverse arrangement is possible, namely that the lug can be integral with the outer member and protrude internally being engaged in the groove in the inner member.

La forme de la rainure est adaptée à la cinématique recherchée.The shape of the groove is adapted to the desired kinematics.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront mieux à la lumière de la description qui va suivre d'un lit conforme à son principe, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique partielle d'un lit à barrière latérale escamotable conforme à l'invention, la barrière étant relevée ;

The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear better in the light of the following description of a bed according to its principle, given solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings. wherein :
  • the figure 1 is a partial schematic view of a retractable side barrier bed according to the invention, the barrier being raised;
  • the figure 2 is a view similar to the figure 1 the barrier being lowered;

Sur les dessins, on a représenté un lit de malade 11, à barrière latérale escamotable comportant un cadre inférieur 13 supportant la literie, (matelas 15), un élément de barrière latérale 17 s'étendant le long d'un côté longitudinal de ce cadre et deux bras parallèles 19 respectivement rattachés avec articulation solidaire au cadre et à l'élément de barrière. L'ensemble des éléments cités forme une sorte de parallélogramme déformable permettant de déplacer l'élément de barrière, sensiblement parallèlement à lui-même, essentiellement par pivotement des bras.In the drawings, there is shown a patient bed 11, retractable side barrier comprising a lower frame 13 supporting the bedding, (mattress 15), a side barrier member 17 extending along a longitudinal side of this frame and two parallel arms 19 respectively attached with articulation integral with the frame and the barrier element. All of the elements mentioned form a kind of deformable parallelogram making it possible to move the barrier element, substantially parallel to itself, essentially by pivoting the arms.

Conformément à l'invention, chaque bras 19 est rattaché au cadre de lit par un mécanisme télescopique 21 à deux éléments, un élément intérieur 22 et un élément extérieur 23. L'élément intérieur 22 peut se déplacer par coulissement et en rotation à l'intérieur de l'élément extérieur 23. Dans l'exemple, ce dernier est fixé au châssis, par exemple soudé. Il est orienté perpendiculairement à la direction longitudinale du lit. L'autre élément, ici l'élément intérieur 22 est fixé à une extrémité du bras 19 correspondant.According to the invention, each arm 19 is attached to the bed frame by a telescopic mechanism 21 with two elements, an inner member 22 and an outer member 23. The inner member 22 can move by sliding and rotating to the Inside the outer element 23. In the example, the latter is fixed to the frame, for example welded. It is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bed. The other element, here the inner element 22 is attached to one end of the arm 19 corresponding.

Ces deux éléments 22, 23 sont assujettis l'un à l'autre par un agencement de couplage à ergot 25 et rainure 26.These two elements 22, 23 are secured to one another by a pin and groove coupling arrangement 26.

Plus précisément, dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, l'ergot 25 est solidaire de l'élément intérieur et il fait saillie extérieurement en étant engagé dans une rainure 26 ménagée dans la paroi de l'élément extérieur. Chaque mécanisme télescopique assure donc la liaison entre le cadre 13 et l'un des bras 19. Ils sont identiques, ce qui permet de faire varier la position transversale de l'élément de barrière 17 (monté articulé aux autres extrémités des deux bras) en même temps que son déplacement vertical pivotant.More precisely, in the example shown on the Figures 1 to 4 , the lug 25 is integral with the inner member and protrudes externally by being engaged in a groove 26 formed in the wall of the outer element. Each telescopic mechanism thus ensures the connection between the frame 13 and one of the arms 19. They are identical, which makes it possible to vary the transverse position of the barrier element 17 (mounted articulated at the other ends of the two arms). same time as its pivoting vertical movement.

La figure 5 illustre une variante dans laquelle l'ergot 25a est solidaire de l'élément extérieur 23 et fait saillie intérieurement en étant engagé dans une rainure 26a ménagée dans l'élément intérieur. Cette rainure peut être une simple gorge creusée à la surface de l'élément cylindrique intérieur 22.The figure 5 illustrates a variant in which the lug 25a is secured to the outer member 23 and protrudes internally being engaged in a groove 26a formed in the inner member. This groove may be a simple groove dug on the surface of the inner cylindrical element 22.

Une autre variante est représentée sur la figure 6 où l'élément intérieur 22 porte deux ergots 35 faisant saillie extérieurement et coopérant avec deux bords parallèles d'une came 37 définie dans la paroi de l'élément extérieur. Les deux ergots 35 et le came 37 définissent la liaison de forme mentionnée ci-dessus. Cette came est en fait dégagée dans la paroi de l'élément extérieur par deux découpes ou échancrures 39 ménagées dans les deux portions d'extrémité du manchon constituant cet élément extérieur 23. Ce dernier est ici solidaire du cadre inférieur 13. Cette variante permet d'obtenir ledit élément extérieur 23 directement par moulage, sans reprise d'usinage.Another variant is represented on the figure 6 wherein the inner member 22 carries two lugs 35 protruding outwardly and cooperating with two parallel edges of a cam 37 defined in the wall of the outer member. The two lugs 35 and the cam 37 define the form connection mentioned above. This cam is in fact disengaged in the wall of the outer element by two cuts or notches 39 formed in the two end portions of the sleeve constituting this outer member 23. The latter is here secured to the lower frame 13. This variant allows obtaining said outer member 23 directly by molding, without resuming machining.
