Definitions

• the present invention relates to a bed, particularly hospital or nursing home bed, comprising a sheet arranged between two rollers with two opposite sides or end portions of the sheet each being wound around one of the two rollers of which each is associated with a drive means, particularly an electromotor drive means, serving to rotate the rollers to wind the sheet from one roller to the other in either direction, particularly as to provide a turning of a person laying on the sheet.
• a drive means particularly an electromotor drive means
• It -thus belongs to the state of the Art to accommo ⁇ date hospital or nursing home beds so that the sheet, on which a patient, who is suffering from impairment of the organs of movement, or at a nursing home a person, who only may move with difficulty, f.i. due to spastic paralysis, is laying, when being moved across the bed provides a turning of this person.
• a prerequisite for the providing of such a turning is that the rollers have to be positioned at suitable high levels over the bed in proportion to the place where the person is laying on the sheet.
• the present invention has the purpose to improve these conditions. According to the invention this is attained in the way that the sheet rollers at each of their ends are bearing supported on stanchions which are provided with at least one hinge means enabling a lifting and lowering of the bearing supports by being turned around the hinge means.
• the hinge means are combined with a slidable locking mechanism comprising a locking brick which by means of a gripping or fixation means can be held in position at at least one of the slidable positions.
• a gripping or holding means can be a spring loaded snap lock means or can be a manually acti- vatable spanning means, which f.i.
• Figure 1 in the perspective illustrates a bed equippe'd with a device according to the present in ⁇ vention.
• Figure 2 in the perspective shows the device accor ⁇ ding to Figure 1 , but not being mounted on a bed
• Figure 3 illustrates the same as Figure 2, but illu ⁇ strating the rollers when positoned at a lower position.
• Figure 4 and 5 show a combined embodiment of a hinge or slidable mechanism as viewed from the end and being viewed in direction of the axis of the associated ro.ller
• Figure 6 illustrates a slidable locking means viewed in vertical cross section through a hinge means with horizontal axis and being shown with the associated roller occupying the upper position.
• stanchions 7, 8 are mounted which carry bearing means for bearing pins 5 on the end of the two rollers 4 around which, as described above, the side por ⁇ tions of a sheet 1 which stretches across the bed are wound.
• the rollers 4 are rotatably positioned and may be driven by means of drive means 10 with f.i. one drive means for each roller.
• the drive means may be of any kind, manual as well as hydraulic, pneumatical or-electric. They ought to be of the kind which completely or in part provide self locking, when not rotating, so that the sheet 1 stretched may be hold in a chosen* wound condition by the rollers 4.
• the idea behind the device according to the invention is to improve such a roller device so that it without the handling of a motor is possible in. a relatively simple way without exerting too much muscle power to lower and lift any of the roller means, whereby a person easily may be brought in and out from the bed. It is remarked, that beds in hospitals and nursing homes often are substantially higher than beds which are used in private homes. That is because the nursing staff then in more comfortable pos ⁇ ;- tionsmay be able to take care of the patients.
• the known roller devices also suffer from the drawback that they are inconvenient for the persons in the beds when he or she has to be brought out from or into the bed as too much handling work is required often involving more persons of the nursing staff for the purpose.
• the device according to the invention consists of a hinge means 9 with preferably, but not necessarily, horizontal axis of hinging for the lin ⁇ king together of the two stanchion portions 7 and 8 which are sitting on fork shaped holding means.
• a simple locking device f.i. a hook type locking device, could be arranged to keep the stanchion portions 7 and 8 held in position in one or more of their working positions.
• the advantage pro ⁇ vided by the hinge means is that, the sheet 1 not has to be handled in relation to the rollers 4 to bring the rollers to occupy a:-suitable position enabling an easy getting out from and into the bed.
• Fig. 6 illustrates a cross section through a stanchion 7, 8 shown in the same position as shown in Figure 2 respectively in Figure 1. It is seen, that the stanchion portions 1 and 8 internally are hollow. In Figure 3 the hollowness 15 of the portion 8 can also be seen.
• a slidable locking means which comprises a preferably in the hollowness of the stanchion 7 and in the hollowness 15 of the stanchion 8 thus up and down slidable locking brick 16 which here is shown comprising a guiding or threaded hole for a gripping or holding means 12 carrying an external handle which handle easily is visible in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3.
• a slidable locking means which comprises a preferably in the hollowness of the stanchion 7 and in the hollowness 15 of the stanchion 8 thus up and down slidable locking brick 16 which here is shown comprising a guiding or threaded hole for a gripping or holding means 12 carrying an external handle which handle easily is visible in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3.
• a key hole like aperture 11 is comprised which is clearly visible in these Figures and in dotted lines is shown in Figure 6 as it in this Figure is laying in front of or behind the cross sectional plane.
• the gripping or holding means 12 comprises a threaded pin which it is possible to screw into the locking brick 16 through the aperture 11.
• a thicker portion of the gripping or holding means may be screwed into the broadestportion of the key hole like aperture 1 andhold the lockingbrick fixed against any sliding of it, i.e. in the position shown in Figure 6, so that movements of the hinge means unobstructed may take place.
• FIG 4 of the drawing an alternative embodiment of the hinge means 9 is shown by which also, in case of further holding means of per se well known kind being present, an upwards and downwards sliding independent of the hinge means movement is made possible.
• the hinge means 9 is here substituted by a horizontal pin 19 which by not further described side portions fastened to the stanchion 7 is kept in position. Through the opening between the pin 19 and the stanchion 7 a hook like member 20 with a hooked end 21 to grip around the pin 19 is stuck whereby the member 20 is sitting held unto the stanchion portion 7.
• the vertical length of the pin 19 above the top of the stanchion portion 8 determines how much the stanchion portion 7 may be lowered in relation to the stanchion portion 8 and herewith in relation to the bed.
• a grooved member 22 sitting on the stanchion portion 8 holds the hooked end 21 fixed when the stanchion portion 7 occupies vertical position.
• other kinds of with the hinge means 9 cooperating upwards and downwards slidability of the portion 7 in relation to the portion 8 are thinkable, here among also corresponding members which permit an oblique sliding in stead of an upwards and downwards sliding. It is thus remarked, that the " length of the hooke like member 20 between the portion 7 and the grooved member 22 makes an oblique sliding between the portion 7 in relation to the portion 8 possible dependent on the actual length of the lengthy item 20.
• FIG. 5 A similar embodiment as that shown in Figure 4 is shown in Figure 5.
• the grooved member 22 is here substi ⁇ tuted by f.i. the upper edge of the stanchion portion 8 with which a hooked member 23 on the stanchion portion 7 may be brought to pending grip at not-kipped-out position of the stanchion portion 7.
