1 Sicherheits-Wannenkissen1 Safety bath cushion
Die Erfindung betrifft ein in sich faltbares, durch Befüllung mit Wasser anhebendes Sicherheits-Wannenkissen mit integrierter Wasserzulaufvorrichtung und Ablaßventil.The invention relates to a foldable safety bath cushion that is raised when filled with water and has an integrated water inlet device and drain valve.
Alte und behinderte Menschen haben nach Beendigung eines Wannenbades nicht selten große Schwierigkeiten die Wanne zu verlassen. Der Grund dafür ist die Sitzhaltung mit ausgestreckten Beinen, welche ein Aufstehen aus der tiefen Sitzposition einer normalen Badewanne oft beschwerlich, nicht selten sogar unmöglich macht. Abhilfe versprechen motorbetriebene Aufstehhilfen. Diese haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie nachträglich durch entsprechend autorisierte Fachhändler eingebaut werden müssen. Sie werden fest installiert und sind somit nicht mobil. Schließlich stellen sie, da zwingend eine Stromversorgung zum Betrieb erforderlich ist, gerade in sogenannten Naßräumen ein erhebliches Gefährdungspotential dar.Old and disabled people often have great difficulty getting out of the tub after a bath. The reason for this is the sitting position with the legs stretched out, which often makes getting up from the deep sitting position of a normal bathtub difficult, and not infrequently even impossible. Motor-operated standing aids promise to help. However, these have the disadvantage that they have to be installed later by an authorized specialist dealer. They are permanently installed and are therefore not mobile. Finally, since a power supply is essential for operation, they represent a significant risk potential, especially in so-called wet rooms.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige, mobile, in jedem Naßraum verwendbare und vor allem ohne elektrischen Strom betreibbare Aufstehhilfe zu entwickeln, die nach Beendigung des Bades den Badenden in eine normale Sitzposition zurückbringt, aus der er mühelos aufstehen und die Wanne verlassen kann.The invention is based on the task of developing a cost-effective, mobile standing aid that can be used in any wet room and, above all, can be operated without electricity, which, after the bath has ended, brings the bather back to a normal sitting position from which he can effortlessly stand up and leave the tub.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß ein in sich faltbares Sitzkissen aus einem wasserdichten, hautfreundlichem und flexiblem Material mit einer Wasserzulaufvorrichtung und einem Ablaßventil versehen wird.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a foldable seat cushion made of a waterproof, skin-friendly and flexible material is provided with a water inlet device and a drain valve.
Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform des Erfindungsgegenstandes ist das Sitzkissen aus faserverstärktem Gummi gefertigt.According to a particular embodiment of the subject matter of the invention, the seat cushion is made of fiber-reinforced rubber.
Außerdem wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, die Unterseite des Sitzkissens an allen Ecken mit Saugnäpfen zur rutschsicheren Befestigung zu versehen.Furthermore, the invention proposes to provide the underside of the seat cushion with suction cups at all corners for non-slip attachment.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes sieht vor, daß zur Stabilisierung der Sitzposition auf der Oberseite des Sitzkissens an allen Seiten Formteile integriert werden.An advantageous embodiment of the subject matter of the invention provides that molded parts are integrated on all sides of the top of the seat cushion in order to stabilize the sitting position.
Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstandes sieht vor, daß die Wasserzulaufvorrichtung mit einem Absperrventil und integriertem Überdruckventil versehen ist, so daß der Anschluß über ein Doppelventil an der Wasserarmatur der Wanne möglich ist.A practical embodiment of the subject matter of the invention provides that the water inlet device is provided with a shut-off valve and integrated pressure relief valve, so that the connection via a double valve to the water fitting of the tub is possible.
Eine weitere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung des Erfindungsgegenstandes sieht vor, daß in das Sitzkissen ein Druckregler integriert wird, der verhindert, daß über den Wasserzulauf beim Befüllen im Innern des Sitzkissens eine Überfüllung- und damit verbunden die Gefahr einer Zerstörung durch Überdruck- erfolgt.A further expedient embodiment of the subject matter of the invention provides that a pressure regulator is integrated into the seat cushion, which prevents overfilling via the water inlet during filling inside the seat cushion - and the associated risk of destruction due to excess pressure.
Weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden in der Zeichnung anhand von schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben.Further details of the invention are described in the drawing using schematically illustrated embodiments.
Hierbei zeigt:This shows:
Figur 1 das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen in ungefülltem ZustandFigure 1 the safety bath cushion in unfilled state
Figur 2 das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen in gefülltem Zustand.Figure 2 the safety bath cushion in filled state.
Figur 1 zeigt das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen 1 in ungefülltem Zustand. Das Sicherheitswannenkissen wird-in ungefülltem Zustand- vor dem Bad durch die an der Unterseite befindlichen Saugnäpfe 2 am Boden der Wanne befestigt. Die integrierten Formteile 3 stabilisieren die Sitzposition des Badenden. An der Wasserzulaufvorrichtung befindet sich am oberen Ende ein Absperrventil 5 mit integriertem Überdruckventil. Dieses wird über ein Doppelventil an der Wasserarmatur der Wanne angeschlossen.Figure 1 shows the safety bath cushion 1 in an unfilled state. The safety bath cushion is - in an unfilled state - attached to the bottom of the bath before bathing using the suction cups 2 on the underside. The integrated molded parts 3 stabilize the bather's sitting position. At the top of the water inlet device there is a shut-off valve 5 with an integrated pressure relief valve. This is connected to the water fitting of the bath via a double valve.
Figur 2 zeigt das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen 1 in gefülltem Zustand. Nach Beendigung des Bades wird der Wasserzulauf 4 geöffnet. Durch das in das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen fließende Wasser entsteht dort ein Wasserdruck, der das Sitzkissen füllt und den Badenden in eine normale Sitzposition anhebt. Der in das Kissen integrierte Druckregler verhindert nach vollständiger Füllung den weiteren Wasserzulauf und damit eine Überfüllung. Hat der Badende die Wanne verlassen, wird das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen über das Abflußventil 6 entleert. Das Sicherheits-Wannenkissen kann aus der Wanne entfernt werden.Figure 2 shows the safety bath cushion 1 in a filled state. After the bath is over, the water inlet 4 is opened. The water flowing into the safety bath cushion creates water pressure that fills the seat cushion and raises the bather to a normal sitting position. The pressure regulator integrated into the cushion prevents further water from flowing in after it is completely filled and thus overfilling. Once the bather has left the tub, the safety bath cushion is emptied via the drain valve 6. The safety bath cushion can be removed from the tub.
