Definitions
- the invention relates to a seating device, in particular for physically impaired people.
- Seat devices designed as knee stools with a frame, a seat element attached to it and a support element offset obliquely downwards relative to the seat element allow additional support for the seated person via the knee support, so that a stable sitting position is achieved with bent knees.
- orchestral musicians should be able to maintain an anatomically favorable position over a longer period of time without being impaired by a backrest.
- the seat and support element are usually held by a central support structure, which must be climbed with one leg when sitting down and standing up.
- the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages which have arisen in the prior art and to provide a structurally simple, safe and comfortable knee seat device, in particular also for users with impaired body control.
- the frame has a side part arranged on one side with respect to the seated person, and that the seat element and the support element are held on the side part by means of cross-brackets, so that the access area for the Person opposite the side part, especially the intermediate area between the seat and support element to the floor remains completely free of frame parts. Due to the U-shaped arrangement seen from above, the seating position can be taken and left without overcoming obstacles. This results in better ergonomics, especially for physically disabled people, which allows it to be used largely without outside help. In the kneeling position, the person is then securely supported and balanced, so that tasks such as personal hygiene can be carried out independently on a sink.
- a structurally advantageous embodiment provides that the cross arms are attached to a common connecting strut of the side part.
- the crossbeams can be fixed on the side part, either on the right or on the left. This makes it possible to arrange the side part, for example in the area of a wall, regardless of the desired seating direction, so as to keep the lateral access area free.
- the seat element and / or the support element are arranged on the frame in a height-adjustable manner by means of height adjustment means.
- This can be achieved in that the seat element and / or the support element are supported on their transverse boom by means of telescopic tubes protruding upwards.
- a further ergonomic adjustment possibility results from the fact that the seat element and / or the support element can be pivoted about a horizontal axis.
- the seat element and the support element can be adjusted in their mutual distance by means of distance adjustment means.
- the distance adjustment means comprise latching or clamping members or a perforated grid for fixing at least one of the transverse brackets on the side frame in a positionally variable manner.
- the seat part and / or the support part over Quick-release means can preferably be fixed in a desired position without tools.
- the seat element has a seat surface that is inclined relative to a horizontal plane toward the support element and, if appropriate, an anatomically shaped seat shell. It is also anatomically advantageous if the support part has a support surface which bears against the front tibia side of the person and is preferably provided with two knee depressions.
- a further advantageous embodiment provides that the seat element and / or the support element are formed by cylindrical, in particular flat, cylindrical cushions.
- a stable multi-point bearing can be achieved in that the frame is supported point-by-point on the floor by means of foot pieces on the side part and on the cross arms. It is also structurally simple if the side part is supported linearly on the floor via foot struts on the floor.
- the side part advantageously comprises a support frame that extends in a vertical plane.
- a structurally simple variant provides that the side part is formed by a Z-shaped strut structure, the cross-arms being attached to the sloping central strut.
- the side part has a handle for the person, which rises upward beyond the height of the seat element.
- An additional securing in the sitting posture can be achieved in that a breast support for breast support of the person is arranged on the side frame.
- a breast support for breast support of the person is arranged on the side frame.
- the cross arms or parts thereof can be folded onto the side part via joints.
- a seat device in particular for physically impaired people, with a seat element and a support element which is offset obliquely downwards relative to the seat element to support the person in a kneeling sitting position, the seat element and the support element (14) being connected transversely to a wall bracket by means of cross arms from the wall so that the access area for the person remains free even on the floor.
- knee seat device in the area of a washing facility, in particular a wash basin, in order to enable a user to perform largely independent body care even with limited body control.
- FIG. 1 shows a seating device for supporting a person in a kneeling sitting position in a perspective view
- FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of a knee seat device in a perspective view
- FIG. 5 and 6 the seat device according to FIG. 4 in a side view and a top view; 7 shows a further exemplary embodiment in a perspective view;
- the seat device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 enables, in particular, physically handicapped persons to easily take a comfortable kneeling sitting position. It essentially consists of a frame 10, a seat element 12 for pelvic support and a support element 14, which is offset obliquely downwards relative to the seat element, for knee support of the user.
- the frame 10 has a side part 16 which stands laterally with respect to the seated person on one side outside the seating area and extends essentially in a vertical plane. This is formed by an arcuate tubular frame 18, which has a connecting strut 20 between the bow legs.
- the seat and support element 12, 14 are held thereon by means of a cross arm 22, 24 projecting transversely to the frame or vertical plane, so that the access and intermediate area 26 between the seat and support element 12, 14 to the floor is free of frame parts remains.
- the transverse brackets 22, 24, which are angled downward, are supported at their free ends by means of foot pieces 28 in a punctiform manner on the ground.
- a telescopic tube 30 which projects upwards from the respective cross arm 22, 24 is provided, while an inclination adjustment about a horizontal axis is made possible via joints 32.
- the fixation takes place by means of screw connections 34, if necessary via quick-action clamping means which can be operated without tools.
- the seat element 12 is adjusted so that its seat 36 closes the support element 14 is inclined.
- the lower-lying support element 14 is inclined with its support surface 38 in the opposite direction to the seat surface 36, so that support in the antero-posterior direction against the shin or knee area of the seated person is possible.
- the cross arms 22, 24 are detachably attached to the connecting strut 20 of the side part 16 via screw connections. In this way, it is also possible to make the attachment in mirror image on the opposite side of the side part 16, so that an adaptation to the spatial conditions of the installation location is easily possible due to the right-hand or left-hand installation with respect to the seated person.
- a hole pattern 40 is provided on the connecting strut 20, which comprises spaced-apart pairs of holes, in which the crossbeam 22 can be fixed securely by means of a stabilizing pin and a screw pin.
- tubular frame 18 forms a handle bracket 42 in an arch section above the height of the seat element 12, to which the user can hold or pull up when sitting down and standing up.
- a difference of the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 to 6 is that the side part 16 of the frame 10 is formed here by a Z-shaped strut structure 44, on the inclined central strut 46 of which the cross arms 22, 24 are attached in a positionally adjustable manner via clamping sleeves 48.
- the upper horizontal strut forms the handle bar 42, while the lower horizontal strut 50 ends at the end by means of foot protruding parallel to the cross arms.
- struts 52 is supported against tipping on the ground.
- the seat element 12 and the support element 14 are designed as flat cylindrical cushions 54, which can be rotated about their central axis.
- a breast support (not shown) can also be arranged on the side society for additional breast support of the seated person.
- the frame 10 is also supported on the floor as a base frame, a bow-shaped support structure 56, 58 being additionally provided on the cross arms 22, 24.
- the support brackets 56, 58 have a hole pattern 60 for height adjustment of the seat and support element via a plug connection 62.
- rotatable joint pieces 64 are provided on the frame 10, so that the seat element 12 and the support element 14 together with the support brackets 56, 58 can be pivoted towards the side part 16.
- the seat element 12 is provided on its lower edge with a central recess 66 in order to facilitate intimate washing for a seated person.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 differs particularly in that, instead of a base frame, a wall frame 10 or a wall bracket 110 is provided, on which the elements 12, 14 are held projecting from the wall. In this way, the entire footwell or floor area is kept free, so that floor cleaning is also made easier.
- the side part is formed by a rail 16, which, if necessary, also permits a spacing adjustment of the cross arms 24 via additional fastening points 68.
- the rail 16 can be fixed to a wall by means of screws 70. In principle, it is also conceivable to dispense with a connecting rail and to design the holder for the seat element 12 and the support element 14 separately. In In any case, a balanced kneeling sitting position should also be supported.
- the knee-seat devices described can be set up particularly advantageously in the area of a washing facility in order to enable a physically handicapped person to wash the body largely without outside help.
- access to the seat area 26 can take place from the side opposite the side part 16 of the frame 10 between the cross arms 22, 24 without having to overcome obstacles.
