Abstract

Standard engineering shapes or profile elements are united by screw clamps to form a releasable and adjustable boom arm or cantilever arrangement. By means of quadrangular clamp bodies, substantially vertical support arms carrying seating or reclining means for a person are mounted on a horizontal support arm and can be individually adjusted in relation thereto. The boom arm is mounted in a further screw clamp provided in the free end of a hydraulic cylinder and piston assembly and is therefore capable of being raised and lowered and swivelled about the lengthwise axis of the cylinder. A hand-grip capable of being pivoted away is provided for the safety of the occupant. Boom arms of this type are employed in bathing installations to safely transport patients and invalids into and out of bath or the like tubs. The releasable and adjustable design concept of the boom arm permits it to be dimensionally adjusted during its initial installation, so that preliminary dimensional surveys are superfluous. In service, the boom arm can be readily adapted to modifications of building or apparatus, changed methods of treatment and varying ergonomic requirements. This provides an increased degree of flexibility and adaptability in application in comparison to welded constructions and therefore greater economy.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Ausleger für heb- und drehbare Sitz- und Liegeanordnungen, wie Badewannensitze und dergleichen, bestehend aus einem, an einer Hebe- und Drehvorrichtung befestigten horizontalen Tragarm an dem vertikale Stützschienen zur Aufnahme von Stützmitteln, wie Sitz- und Liegeschalen befestigt sind.The present invention relates to a boom for lifting and rotating seat and lying arrangements, such as bath seats and the like, consisting of a, attached to a lifting and rotating device, horizontal support arm on which vertical support rails for receiving support means, such as seat and lying trays are attached .

Solche heb- und senkbare, um eine vertikale Achse drehbare Sitz- und Liegeanordnungen dienen dem Transport und der Lagerung von Kranken und Invaliden und werden allgemein in Einrichtungen zur Erleichterung der Krankenpflege eingesetzt. Bei Badeeinrichtungen ermöglichen sie das sichere und bequeme Ueberführen von Patienten in und aus Badewannen, welche an die ergonomischen Bedürfnisse des Bedienungs- und Pflegepersonals angepasst sind und deshalb von behinderten Personen nicht ohne fremde Hilfe benützt werden können. Solche Badewannen weisen unterschiedliche Breiten und Höhen auf und unterscheiden sich zudem in der Anschrägung ihrer kopfseitigen Schmalseiten.Such lifting and lowering, rotatable about a vertical axis seating and lying arrangements are used for the transport and storage of sick and disabled and are generally used in facilities to facilitate nursing. In bathing facilities they enable the safe and comfortable transfer of patients into and out of bathtubs, which are adapted to the ergonomic needs of the operating and care staff and therefore cannot be used by disabled people without outside help. Such bathtubs have different widths and heights and also differ in the Bevelling of their narrow ends on the head side.

Es sind bereits Sitz-Ueberführungseinrichtungen gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 bekannt, bei denen die Ausleger als massgeschneiderte Einzelfertigungen aus rohr- und profilförmigen Elementen zusammengeschweisst sind. Für den Zusammenbau werden die einzelnen Elemente z.B. mittels Schablonen in starrer gegenseitiger Zuordnung gehalten und durch Schweissung verbunden. Solche Aufbauverfahren sind aufwendig und beinhalten die bekannten Nachteile der Schweisstechnologie. Vorerst muss die für jede Anlage erforderliche Massaufnahme sehr detailliert und mit grosser Genauigkeit ausgeführt werden da wegen der geschweissten Konstruktion eine spätere Anpassung z.B. während der Montage, nicht oder nur mit grossen Schwierigkeiten möglich ist. Für diesen Arbeitsschritt ist deshalb qualifiziertes, mit der Anlage vertrautes Personal erforderlich. Ueberdies ist der für das massgetreue Zusammenschweissen eines derartigen Auslegers notwendige Vorrichtungs- und Arbeitsaufwand erheblich, so dass nicht von einem zügigen und kostengünstigen Zusammenbau gesprochen werden kann. Auch lässt sich trotz dieses beträchtlichen Aufwandes die gegenseitige Abstimmung von Ausleger und Badeeinrichtung nicht in ausreichendem Masse gewährleisten. Dies deshalb, weil jeder Ausleger eine starre und unlösbare Einheit bildet, so dass Fehler bei der Massaufnahme später nicht mehr korrigiert werden können. Auch ein möglicher Verzug in der Konstruktion, der durch das Einbringen von Wärme entstehen kann, lässt sich durch Kalt- und Warmrichten oft nicht vollständig beheben. In beiden Fällen bleibt dann nichts anderes übrig, als den fehlerhaften Ausleger durch eine Neukonstruktion zu ersetzen. Im weitern werden bei derartigen Aufbaukonzepten anlagebezogene Konstruktionselemente verschiedenster Ausbildung und Abmessung benötigt. Der Einsatz von in grossen Serien gefertigten Einzelteilen, die für einen weiten Bereich von Anlagen in Form von gleichartigen Normteilen verwendet werden können, ist allgemein nicht möglich. Dies verteuert den Ausleger und erschwert insbesondere die Ersatzteilhaltung. Nachteilig bei solchen Schweisskonstruktionen ist auch der Umstand, dass sie massgeschneidert sind und sich deshalb nicht für Badewannen unterschiedlicher Höhe und Breite anwenden lassen. Es ist deshalb nicht möglich sie beim Auswechseln von Badewannen oder bei sonstigen baulichen Veränderungen an die neuen Gegebenheiten anzupassen. Darüber hinaus besteht auch keine Möglichkeit, erhöhtem Verschleiss unterworfene Einzelteile rasch und leicht auszuwechseln.Seat transfer devices according to the preamble of claim 1 are already known, in which the brackets are welded together as tailor-made individual items from tubular and profile-shaped elements. For assembly, the individual elements are held in rigid mutual association, for example by means of templates, and connected by welding. Such assembly processes are complex and involve the known disadvantages of welding technology. For the time being, the measurement required for each system must be carried out in great detail and with great accuracy, because later welding, for example during assembly, is not possible or only with great difficulty because of the welded construction. Qualified personnel familiar with the system are therefore required for this step. Moreover, the device and labor required for the true-to-size welding of such a boom is considerable, so that one cannot speak of a quick and inexpensive assembly. In spite of this considerable effort, the mutual coordination of the outrigger arm and bathing equipment cannot be guaranteed to a sufficient extent. This is because each boom forms a rigid and inseparable unit, so that errors in the measurement can no longer be corrected later. Also a possible one Warping in the construction, which can result from the introduction of heat, can often not be completely remedied by cold and warm straightening. In both cases, the only option is to replace the defective boom with a new design. In addition, system-related construction elements of the most varied design and dimensions are required in such construction concepts. The use of individual parts manufactured in large series, which can be used for a wide range of systems in the form of similar standard parts, is generally not possible. This increases the cost of the boom and in particular makes it difficult to stock spare parts. Another disadvantage of such welded constructions is the fact that they are tailor-made and therefore cannot be used for bathtubs of different heights and widths. It is therefore not possible to adapt them to the new conditions when changing bathtubs or other structural changes. In addition, there is also no possibility of quickly and easily replacing individual parts subject to increased wear.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, einen Ausleger für heb- und drehbare Sitz- und Liegeanordnungen, wie Badewannensitze, zu schaffen, der sich bei der Montage auf die Abmessungen unterschiedlicher apparativer und baulicher Gegebenheiten einstellen lässt. Dies soll vorgängige Massaufnahmen weitgehend überflüssig machen und dadurch die Auftragsbearbeitung erleichtern.Die Neuerung bezweckt ferner die Schaffung eines Auslegers, der aus wenigen in grossen Serien gefertigten Normteilen aufgebaut werden kann und bei dem die Lagerhaltung vereinfacht sowie die Herstellung verbilligt ist. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit den Mitteln gelöst, wie sie in der Fassung des unabhängigen Anspruches gekennzeichnet sind. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a boom for liftable and rotatable seat and lying arrangements, such as bath seats, which, when assembled, varies in terms of the dimensions of the appara tive and structural conditions. This should make previous measurements largely superfluous and thereby facilitate order processing. The innovation also aims to create a boom that can be built from a few standard parts manufactured in large series and in which the storage is simplified and the production is cheaper. This object is achieved according to the invention with the means as characterized in the version of the independent claim. Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims.

Durch diese Mittel ist nicht nur die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe vorteilhaft gelöst, sondern es wird darüber hinaus ein Ausleger geschaffen, der folgende Vorteile bietet:

  • Da eine lösbare und einstellbare Konstruktion vorliegt, kann der Ausleger auch nach der Montage sehr einfach und rasch geänderten Verhältnissen angepasst werden, wie sie sich aus apparativen und baulichen Umstellungen, geänderten Pflege- und Behandlungsmethoden sowie wechselnden ergonomischen Anforderungen des Pflege- und Bedienungspersonales ergeben. Ein derart ausgebildeter Ausleger besitzt eine Flexibilität in der Anwendung, wie sie mit geschweissten, massgeschneiderten Konstruktionen nicht erreicht werden kann.
These means not only advantageously achieve the object on which the invention is based, but also create an extension arm which offers the following advantages:
  • Since there is a detachable and adjustable construction, the boom can be easily and quickly adapted to changing conditions, such as those resulting from changes in equipment and construction, changed care and treatment methods and changing ergonomic requirements of the care and operating personnel. A boom designed in this way has flexibility in use that cannot be achieved with welded, tailor-made constructions.

Im weitern sind die wesentlichen Elemente des erfindungsgemässen Aufbaukonzeptes, nämlich der horizontale Tragarm, die Verbindungsstücke sowie die Klemmverschraubungen funktions- und nicht anlagebezogen, also unabhängig von einer Anlage in der gleichen Ausführung immer wieder einsetzbar. Die Ausrichtung eines Auslegers, auf den einzelnen Anwendungsfall erfolgt durch dimensionsmässiges Einstellen während der Montage. Hinsichtlich der Konstruktionselemente wie der Verbindungstechnik kann deshalb von einem bausteinartigen Aufbau gesprochen werden. Für eine grosse Variantenzahl von Anlagen können die gleichen in Normgrössen serienmässig hergestellten Einzelteile verwendet werden. Daraus ergibt sich der Vorteil einer einfachen Fertigung sowie einer unkomplizierten Disposition des Materialbedarfs. Auch sind die bausteinartigen Einzelteile nach der Erfindung so ausgebildet, dass sie sich an Ort und Stelle leicht montieren und auch wieder leicht demontieren lassen und ein verhältnismässig geringes Gewicht aufweisen. Der erfindungsgemässe Ausleger eignet sich deshalb vortrefflich zum Zusammenbau an Ort und Stelle, wo wegen baulicher oder anderer Erschwernisse oft unter schwierigen Bedingungen gearbeitet werden muss. Allfällige Unzulänglichkeiten in der Arbeitsausführung können später leicht korrigiert werden.Darüber hinaus hat sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, dass wegen der leichten Auswechselbarkeit der Einzelteile die Instandhaltung des Auslegers sowie die entsprechende Instruktion des Wartungspersonals stark vereinfacht ist. Es ist offensichtlich, dass die mit der Erfindung erzielten Verbesserungen, wie leichte Anpassbarkeit nach der Montage, bausteinartiger Aufbau, Zusammenbau an Ort und Stelle sowie vereinfachte Instandhaltung auch wirtschaftliche Vorteile bieten: die Herstellung der Ausleger wird verbilligt, die Kosten für deren Montage und Unterhalt merklich gesenkt und so allgemein eine kostengünstige Lösung erzielt.Furthermore, the essential elements of the invention according to the construction concept, namely the horizontal support arm, the connecting pieces and the compression fittings are function-related and not system-related, i.e. can be used again and again regardless of a system in the same version. The alignment of a boom to the individual application is done by dimensional adjustment during assembly. With regard to the construction elements such as the connection technology, one can therefore speak of a modular structure. For a large number of system variants, the same individual parts that are standardly produced in standard sizes can be used. This results in the advantage of simple production and an uncomplicated disposition of the material requirements. The modular individual parts according to the invention are designed so that they are easy to assemble on site and also easy to dismantle and have a relatively low weight. The boom according to the invention is therefore excellently suitable for assembly on the spot where work often has to be carried out under difficult conditions due to structural or other difficulties. Any shortcomings in the workmanship can be easily corrected later. In addition, it has proven to be advantageous that the maintenance of the boom and the corresponding instructions for the maintenance personnel are greatly simplified due to the easy interchangeability of the individual parts. It is obvious that the improvements achieved with the invention, such as easy adaptability after assembly, modular construction, assembly on site, and simplified maintenance also offer economic advantages: the manufacture of the boom is cheaper, the costs for their assembly and maintenance noticeably reduced, and so generally cost effective solution achieved.

Ueber die Klemmverschraubung 12 ist der horizontale Tragarm 6 einerends lösbar an der Kolbenstange 13 befestigt, wodurch der Ausleger 2 heb- und senkbar sowie um die Zylinderachse 14 drehbar im Hydraulikzylinder 15 gelagert ist. Anderends ist am horizontalen Tragarm 6 ein dreh- und wegklappbarer Haltegriff 11 angelenkt, mit Handstück 16 und Führungsnut 17 zur Begrenzung der Ausdrehung. Selbstverständlich kann auch ein Wannenkörper 1 für Freiaufstellung verwendet werden, und anstelle des Badewannensitzes 3 eine Liegeanordnung auf den vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 montiert sein.Das zum Betrieb der hydraulischen Hebevorrichtung vorgesehene hydraulische Aggregat 18 enthält einen Elektromotor 19 sowie eine Flügelpumpe 20 und ist über eine Hydraulikleitung 21 mit dem Hydraulikzylinder 15 verbunden. Fig. 2 zeigt mit ausgezogenem und unterbrochenem Strich den Badewannensitz 3 in Badestellung 4 innerhalb des Wannenkörpers 1 bzw. in Aufnahmestellung 5 ausserhalb des Wannenkörpers 1. Im Rahmen der baulichen Gegebenheiten sind aber auch alle anderen Positionen des Badewannensitzes 3 möglich, die sich auf einer durch den Kreisbogen 23 um die Zylinderachse 14 und den Kolbenhub 24 bestimmten Zylinderfläche befinden. Und weil der Badewannensitz 3 über die quaderförmigen Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 verschiebbar am horizontalen Tragarm 6 befestigt ist, gilt dies noch zusätzlich für alle Positionen innerhalb dieser Zylinderfläche. Die konstruktive Ausgestaltung sowie das Aufbaukonzept, beides wesentliche Merkmale der vorliegenden Erfindung, werden im folgenden anhand der Fig. 3 näher erläutert: Die beiden den Badewannensitz 3 tragenden vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 sind mittels quaderförmiger Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 lösbar und einstellbar mit dem horizontalen Tragarm 6 verbunden. Dabei ist jeder Verbindungsblock 9, 10 durch einen mit einem Paar gegenüberliegender Quaderbegrenzungsflächen 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 parallel verlaufenden Einschnitt 31 in zwei Klemmbacken 32, 33 aufgeteilt. Diese sind an ihrem freien Enden 36 über die Klemmverschraubung 46 zusammengehalten und an ihren festen Enden 37 durch den Steg 38 starr miteinander verbunden. Anstelle des Steges 38 können die Klemmbacken 32, 33 auch durch ein Scharnier, gegeneinander ausschwenkbar, verbunden sein.Die Innenflächen 39, 40 der Klemmbacken 32, 33, umschliessen zusammen eine Klemmbohrung 41 deren Achse 42 in der Einschnittebene 43 liegt und rechtwinklig auf den Quaderbegrenzungsflächen 25, 26 steht. Bei Anziehen der Klemmverschraubung 46 werden die Innenflächen 39, 40 allseitig gegen den horizontalen Tragarm 6 gepresst und dieser dadurch kraftschlüssig mit den Verbindungsblöcken 9, 10 verbunden. Die Stützschienen 7, 8 sind in rechtwinklig zur Klemmbohrung 41 und parallel zur Einschnittebene 43 verlaufenden Haltebohrungen 44 geführt, darin mit Arretierstiften 45 gesichert und dadurch formschlüssig mit den Verbindungsblöcken 9, 10 verbunden. Selbstverständlich kann auch hier die Verbindung kraftschlüssig durch eine Klemmverschraubung erfolgen. Als weitere Variante ist es möglich, alternativ oder zusätzlich auch in den Klemmbacken 33 der Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 je eine Haltebohrung 44 vorzusehen, zur Aufnahme der gleichen oder zusätzlichen Stützschienen 7, 8. Der horizontale Tragarm 6 ist mittels der Klemmverschraubung 12 am oberen Ende der Kolbenstange 13 befestigt und damit entlang der Zylinderachse 14 heb- und senkbar und um dieselbe drehbar im Hyraulikzylinder 15 gelagert.Am anderen Ende des horizontalen Tragarmes 6 ist ein dreh- und wegklappbarer Haltegriff 11 angebracht mit Handstück 16 und Führungsnut 17 als Anschlag zur Begrenzung des Ausdrehwinkels.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes a tub body for installation arrangement, in which a bathtub seat 3 held by the extension arm 2 is in the bathing or care position 4. The boom 2, which will be explained in detail later with reference to FIG. 3, consists of the horizontal support arm 6, the vertical support rails 7, 8 for receiving the bath seat 3, the connecting blocks 9, 10 between the horizontal support arm 6 and vertical support rails 7, 8 as well as a handle 11 that can be rotated and folded away. The horizontal support arm 6 is detachably fastened at one end to the piston rod 13 via the clamp screw connection 12, as a result of which the boom 2 can be raised and lowered and rotated about the cylinder axis 14 in the hydraulic cylinder 15. On the other hand, a rotatable and foldable handle 11 is articulated on the horizontal support arm 6, with a handpiece 16 and a guide groove 17 for limiting the rotation. Of course, a bathtub body 1 can also be used for free-standing installation, and instead of the bathtub seat 3, a lying arrangement can be mounted on the vertical support rails 7, 8. The hydraulic unit 18 provided for operating the hydraulic lifting device contains an electric motor 19 and a vane pump 20 and is via a Hydraulic line 21 connected to the hydraulic cylinder 15. Fig. 2 shows the solid and broken line Bath seat 3 in bath position 4 inside the bath body 1 or in receiving position 5 outside the bath body 1. In the context of the structural conditions, however, all other positions of the bath seat 3 are also possible, which are based on a circular arc 23 around the cylinder axis 14 and the piston stroke 24 specific cylinder surface are located. And because the bath seat 3 is slidably attached to the horizontal support arm 6 via the cuboid-shaped connecting blocks 9, 10, this also applies to all positions within this cylinder surface. The structural design and the structural concept, both essential features of the present invention, are explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3: The two vertical support rails 7, 8 supporting the bath seat 3 can be detached and adjusted by means of cuboid-shaped connecting blocks 9, 10 with the horizontal support arm 6 connected. Each connecting block 9, 10 is divided into two clamping jaws 32, 33 by an incision 31 running parallel with a pair of opposing rectangular boundary surfaces 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. These are held together at their free ends 36 via the compression fitting 46 and rigidly connected to one another at their fixed ends 37 by the web 38. Instead of the web 38, the clamping jaws 32, 33 can also be connected by a hinge which can be swung out against one another. The inner surfaces 39, 40 of the clamping jaws 32, 33 together enclose a clamping bore 41 whose axis 42 in the incision plane 43 lies and stands at right angles on the cuboid boundary surfaces 25, 26. When the clamping screw connection 46 is tightened, the inner surfaces 39, 40 are pressed against the horizontal support arm 6 on all sides, and this is thereby connected to the connecting blocks 9, 10 in a force-fitting manner. The support rails 7, 8 are guided in holding bores 44 running at right angles to the clamping bore 41 and parallel to the incision plane 43, secured therein with locking pins 45 and thereby connected in a form-fitting manner to the connecting blocks 9, 10. Of course, the connection can also be made non-positively by means of a compression fitting. As a further variant, it is possible, alternatively or additionally, to provide a holding bore 44 in each of the clamping jaws 33 of the connecting blocks 9, 10, for receiving the same or additional support rails 7, 8. The horizontal support arm 6 is by means of the clamping screw connection 12 at the upper end of the The piston rod 13 is fastened and can thus be raised and lowered along the cylinder axis 14 and rotated about the same in the hydraulic cylinder 15. At the other end of the horizontal support arm 6 there is a handle 11 which can be rotated and folded away, with a handpiece 16 and guide groove 17 as a stop for limiting the angle of rotation .

Zur Erläuterung der Funktionsweise des erfindungsgemässen Auslegers 2 sei auf die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 verwiesen, und dabei angenommen, dass der Ausleger 2 an einen neu aufgestellten, schmäleren Wannenkörper 1 angepasst werden müsse und die Behandlungs- bzw. Pflegestellung aus ergonomischen Gründen höher einzustellen sei. Wegen des schmäleren Wannenkörpers 1 ist vorerst eine schmälere Sitzschale 48 auf den vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 zu montieren. Hiezu werden die Klemmverschraubungen 46 gelöst und die quaderförmigen Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 gegeneinander verschoben, bis sich die vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 so weit angenähert haben, dass darauf die schmälere Sitzschale 48 montiert werden kann.Als nächstes wird der Badewannensitz 3 in die Badewanne 47 überführt und die in festem gegenseitigen Abstand gehaltenen quaderförmigen Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 im Gleichlauf so auf dem horizontalen Tragarm 6 verschoben, bis die Sitzschale 48 in Badewannenquerrichtung die gewünschte Lage zwischen den Badewannenlängsseiten einnimmt. Sollte die Verschiebung der Verbindüngblöcke 9, 10 entlang dem horizontalen Tragarm 6 nicht ausreichen, um die Sitzschale 48 quer im Wannenkörper 1 zu positionieren, kann durch Lösen der Klemmverschraubung 12 der horizontale Tragarm 6 in der Kolbenstange 13 horizontal verschoben werden, woraus sich eine zusätzliche Variationsmöglichkeit in Wannenquerrichtung ergibt.Für die Positionierung der Sitzschale 48 in Badewannenlängsrichtung erfolgt ein erster grobstufiger Abgleich durch verschieden geformte vertikale Stützschienen 7, 8. Ein zweiter feinstufiger Abgleich wird dadurch erzielt, dass die vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 in den Haltebohrungen 44 der vorderen oder der hinteren Klemmbacken 32 bzw. 34 der Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 geführt sind. Im weitern kann durch Drehen der quaderförmigen Verbindungsblöcke 9, 10 um den horizontalen Tragarm 6 die Neigung der Sitzschale 48 gegenüber der Vertikalen so geändert werden, dass die Sitzrücklehne mit der zugehörigen Badewannenschmalseite in etwa parallel verläuft. Nachdem die Sitzschale 48 in Quer- und in Längsrichtung sowie hinsichtlich ihrer Neigung an den neuen Wannenkörper 1 angepasst ist, werden diese Einstellungen durch Anziehen der Klemmverschraubungen 12 und 46 fixiert.Bei der Behandlung von Patienten muss dem Pflegepersonal die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, eine ergonomisch optimale Arbeitsstellung einzunehmen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist neben der vorgenannten Verschiebbarkeit des Badewannensitzes 3 quer, längs und schräg zur Badewanne 47 auch dessen Höhenverstellung von Bedeutung. Dies ist beim erfindungsgemässen Ausleger 2 in zweifacher Weise gewährleistet. Neben der hydraulischen Höhenverstellung des Auslegers 2 kann der Badewannensitz 3 durch Verschieben der vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 in den Haltebohrungen 44 auch relativ zum Ausleger in der Höhe verstellt werden. Zur Ueberführung eines Patienten in die Badewanne 47 wird der Badewannensitz 3 in die Aufnahmestellung 5 ausserhalb des Wannenkörpers 1 gebracht, wo der Patient sicher und bequem auf der Sitzschale 48 plaziert werden kann. Sitz und Patient können alsdann mittels der Hydraulik so weit über den Randflansch 49 des Wannenkörpers 1 angehoben werden, bis ein ungehindertes Einschwenken in den Bereich über der Badewanne 47 möglich ist. Bei Entlastung der Hydraulik senkt sich der Badewannensitz 3 automatisch in die untere Endstellung im Wannenkörper 1, die aufgrund der Höheneinstellung der vertikalen Stützschienen 7, 8 in den Haltebohrungen 44 auch die therapeutisch und ergonomisch richtige Badestellung 4 darstellt. Die Rückführung von der Badestellung 4 in die Aufnahmestellung 5 wickelt sich in analoger Weise ab. Beide Verschiebungen erfolgen gefahrlos, da der Patient durch den Haltegriff 11 insbesondere gegen Herabfallen gesichert ist.To explain the mode of operation of the boom 2 according to the invention, reference is made to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and it is assumed here that the boom 2 must be adapted to a newly erected, narrower pan body 1 and the treatment or care position should be set higher for ergonomic reasons. Because of the narrower tub body 1, a narrower seat shell 48 is initially to be mounted on the vertical support rails 7, 8. For this purpose, the clamping screw connections 46 are loosened and the cuboid connecting blocks 9, 10 are displaced relative to one another until the vertical support rails 7, 8 have come so close that the narrower seat shell 48 can be mounted thereon. Next, the bathtub seat 3 is transferred into the bathtub 47 and held at a fixed mutual distance cuboid connection blocks 9, 10 so moved in synchronization on the horizontal arm 6, until the seat pan 48 in bathtubs q uerrichtung the desired location between the longitudinal sides of bathtub occupies. If the displacement of the connecting blocks 9, 10 along the horizontal support arm 6 is not sufficient to position the seat shell 48 transversely in the tub body 1, the horizontal support arm 6 in the piston rod 13 can be displaced horizontally by loosening the clamping screw connection 12, resulting in an additional possibility of variation For the positioning of the seat shell 48 in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub, a first coarse adjustment takes place by means of differently shaped vertical support rails 7, 8. A second fine adjustment is achieved in that the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding holes 44 of the front or the rear Clamp bake 32 and 34 of the connecting blocks 9, 10 are guided. Furthermore, by rotating the cuboid-shaped connecting blocks 9, 10 around the horizontal support arm 6, the inclination of the seat shell 48 with respect to the vertical can be changed such that the seat back with the associated narrow side of the bathtub runs approximately parallel. After the seat pan 48 has been adjusted in the transverse and longitudinal directions and in terms of its inclination to the new tub body 1, these settings are fixed by tightening the compression fittings 12 and 46. When treating patients, the nursing staff must be given the option of an ergonomically optimal one To occupy a working position. In this context, in addition to the aforementioned displaceability of the bath seat 3 transversely, longitudinally and obliquely to the bath 47, its height adjustment is also important. This is ensured in two ways in the boom 2 according to the invention. In addition to the hydraulic height adjustment of the arm 2, the bath seat 3 can also be adjusted in height relative to the arm by moving the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding holes 44. To transfer a patient into the bathtub 47, the bathtub seat 3 is brought into the receiving position 5 outside the bathtub body 1, where the patient can be placed on the seat shell 48 safely and comfortably. The seat and patient can then be raised by means of the hydraulics so far over the edge flange 49 of the tub body 1 until an unimpeded pivoting into the area above the Bathtub 47 is possible. When the hydraulics are relieved, the bath seat 3 automatically lowers into the lower end position in the bath body 1, which, due to the height adjustment of the vertical support rails 7, 8 in the holding bores 44, also represents the therapeutically and ergonomically correct bathing position 4. The return from the bathing position 4 to the receiving position 5 takes place in an analogous manner. Both displacements take place safely since the patient is secured against falling in particular by the handle 11.
