Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Seitenlehne für ein Bett, insbesondere ein Krankenbett, mit zwei Schwenkhebeln, die einerseit schwenkbar an der Seitenlehne angeschlossen und andererseits an bettseitig befestigten Schwenklagern drehbar gelagert sind, wobei die Seitenlehne gemeinsam mit den Schwenkhebeln parallel zu den Schwenklagerachsen in vorbestimmten Grenzen relativ zum Bett verschiebbar und einerseits bis in eine untere Endstellung unterhalb der Liegefläche und andererseits bis in eine obere Endstellung oberhalb der Liegefläche verschwenkbar ist.The present invention relates to a side rest for a bed, in particular a hospital bed, with two pivot levers which are pivotally connected on the one hand to the side rest and on the other hand are rotatably mounted on pivot-mounted pivot bearings, the side rest together with the pivot levers parallel to the pivot bearing axes relative to predetermined limits Slidable to the bed and on the one hand can be swiveled into a lower end position below the lying surface and on the other hand into an upper end position above the lying surface.

Es ist bekannt, an Betten, insbesondere an Krankenbetten, Seitenlehnen der gattungsgemäßen Art anzubringen. Diese verschwenkbaren Seitenlehnen ermöglichen es, bei Bedarf einen Seitenschutz für eine in einem entsprechend ausgestatteten Bett zu gewährleisten, dann nämlich, wenn die Seitenlehnen nach oben geschwenkt sind.It is known to attach side rests of the generic type to beds, in particular to patient beds. These pivotable side rests make it possible, if necessary, to ensure side protection for a bed which is appropriately equipped, namely when the side rests are pivoted upwards.

Zum Ein- oder Aussteigen in ein derartiges Bett können die Seitenlehnen rasch nach unten geschwenkt werden, in dieser Position erfolgt auch in aller Regel ein notwendig werdender Transport eines derartigen Bettes.To get in or out of a bed of this type, the side rests can be swiveled down quickly; in this position, such a bed is generally also required to be transported.

Im nach unten geschwenkten Zustand können die Seitenlehnen dann vollständig an den Liegerahmen eines entsprechenden Bettes herangeschoben werden, so daß in dieser Position keine nennenswerte Verbreiterung der gesamten Bettfläche erfolgt.In the pivoted down state, the side rests can then be pushed completely against the bed frame of a corresponding bed, so that in this position there is no significant widening of the entire bed area.

Das Schwenken der Seitenlehnen in ihre obere Position erfordert zunächst die Verschiebung der Seitenlehnen weg vom Bettrahmen, erst dann besteht die Möglichkeit, die Seitenlehnen nach oben in ihre höchste Endlage zu bringen. Der Grund dieser Maßnahme besteht darin, eine Beschädigung des Bettzeuges während der Verschwenkbewegungen zu verhindern, gleichzeitig vermeidet die vorerwähnte Konstruktion Verletzungsgefahren, die anderenfalls durch die Möglichkeit des Einklemmens zwischen Seitenlehnen einerseits und Liegerahmen andererseits auftreten könnten.Swiveling the side rests into their upper position first requires the side rests to be moved away from the bed frame, only then is it possible to bring the side rests up to their highest end position. The reason for this measure is to prevent damage to the bedding during the pivoting movements, at the same time the aforementioned construction avoids the risk of injury which could otherwise occur due to the possibility of being caught between the side rests on the one hand and the bed frame on the other.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Seitenlehne der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, die ohne weiteres auch von einer in einem mit einer derartigen Seitenlehne ausgestatteten Bett befindlichen Person betätigbar ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a side rest of the generic type, which can also be actuated by a person in a bed equipped with such a side rest.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Schwenkhebel ausschließlich in seitlich vollständig ausgeschobener Position verschwenkbar sind, daß die untere und die obere Endstellung der Seitenlehne durch im Lagerbereich zwischen Seitenlehne und Schwenkhebeln angeordnete Rastmittel gesichert ist und daß die Rastmittel mit einer vorzugsweise im oberen Randbereich der Seitenlehne angeordnete Betätigungseinrichtung verbunden sind.This object is achieved in that the pivot lever can be pivoted only in the laterally fully extended position, that the lower and the upper end position of the side back is secured by locking means arranged in the storage area between the side back and pivoting levers and that the locking means with a preferably in the upper edge region of the Side rest arranged actuator are connected.

Eine derart gestaltete Seitenlehne kann beliebig an einer außerhalb des Bettes befindlichen Person, wie auch von einer im Bett liegenden Person betätigt werden, da die hierfür erforderlichen Handhabungen sowohl von außerhalb des Bettes wie auch von einer im Bett liegenden Person ausführbar sind.A side rest designed in this way can be operated as desired on a person outside the bed, as well as on a person lying in bed, since the manipulations required for this can be carried out both from outside the bed and from a person lying in bed.

Befindet sich die Seitenlehne in ihrer unteren, eingeschobenen Endposition, kann sowohl eine außerhalb wie auch eine im Bett liegende Person die Seitenlehne seitlich nach außen schieben und über die leicht zugängliche Betätigungseinrichtung die Rastmittel außer Eingriff bringen und anschließend die Seitenlehne nach oben verschwenken, ohne daß dabei eine Verletzungsgefahr durch Einklemmen beispielsweise der Hand zwischen Seitenlehne und Bettrahmen besteht.If the side rest is in its lower, pushed-in end position, both an outside person and a person lying in bed can slide the side rest outwards and over the easily accessible actuating device disengage the locking means and then swivel the side rest upwards without there being a risk of injury due to, for example, a hand being caught between the side rest and the bed frame.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Further features of the invention are the subject of dependent claims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

In Figur 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 das Kopfteil eines nicht weiter dargestellten Krankenbettes bezeichnet, an dem Zu beiden Längsseiten je eine Seitenlehne 2 schwenkbar angeschlossen ist.In Figure 1, the reference numeral 1 designates the head part of a hospital bed, not shown, to which a side rest 2 is pivotally connected to both longitudinal sides.

Jede Seitenlehne 2 ist mit zwei Schwenkhebeln 3 ausgestattet, die einerseits schwenkbar an der Seitenlehne 2 angeschlossen und andererseits an bettseitg befestigten Schwenklagern 4 drehbar gelagert sind.Each side rest 2 is equipped with two pivot levers 3 which are pivotally connected on the one hand to the side rest 2 and on the other hand are rotatably mounted on pivot bearings 4 fastened on the bed side.

Die Seitenlehnen 2 sind gemeinsam mit den Schwenkhebeln 3 parallel zu den Achsen der Schwenklager 4 in vorbestimmten Grenzen relativ zum Kopfteil 1 verschiebbar, wobei durch unterhalb des Kopfteiles 1 und im Bereich der Schwenklager 4 angebrachte Sicherungsbügel 5 gewährleistet ist, daß eine Verschwenkung der Seitenlehnen 2 nur dann möglich ist, wenn die jeweilige Seitenlehne maximal gegenüber dem Kopfteilrahmen 1 nach außen gezogen ist, da er in dieser Position die Schwenkhebel 3 nicht mehr im Blockierbereich der Sicherungsbügel 5 liegen.The side rests 2 can be moved together with the swivel levers 3 parallel to the axes of the swivel bearings 4 within predetermined limits relative to the head part 1, whereby securing brackets 5 attached below the head part 1 and in the area of the swivel bearings 4 ensure that swiveling of the side rests 2 only is then possible if the respective side backrest is pulled outwards at most with respect to the head part frame 1, since in this position the pivoting levers 3 are no longer in the blocking area of the securing bracket 5.

Hierdurch wird gleichzeitig sichergestellt, daß in der Verschwenkstellung ausreichend Platz zwischen den Seitenlehnen 2 einerseits und dem Kopfteilrahmen 1 andererseits vorhanden ist, wodurch sowohl auf dem Kopfteilrahmen 1 aufliegendes Bettzeug geschont wird wie auch die Gefahr vermieden wird, daß es durch Einguetschungen zwischen Kopfteilrahmen 1 und Seitenlehne 2 zu Verletzungen kommt.This also ensures that there is sufficient space between the side rests 2 on the one hand and the headboard frame 1 on the other hand, in the pivoting position, whereby both bedding lying on the headboard frame 1 is spared and the risk is avoided that it is entrained between the headboard frame 1 and the side rest 2 injury.

Wie die Figuren 2 und 3 deutlich machen, ist jede Seitenlehne 2 bis unterhalb des Kopfteilrahmens 1 verschwenkbar und soweit unter diesen Kopfteilrahmen 1 verschiebbar, daß praktisch kein Überstand der Seitenlehne 2 gegenüber dem Kopfteilrahmen 1 gegeben ist.As FIGS. 2 and 3 make clear, each side rest 2 can be pivoted to below the head part frame 1 and can be moved so far under this head part frame 1 that there is practically no projection of the side rest 2 with respect to the head part frame 1.

Wie insbesondere aus den Figuren 2 und 5 hervorgeht, ist jeder Schwenkhebel 3 mit einer die Seitenlehne 2 durchtretenden Achse 6 verbunden, die innerhalb der Seitenlehne 2 drehbar ist. Auf diese Achse 6 ist eine Flanschscheibe 7 verdrehsicher aufgesetzt oder mit dieser Achse 6 anderweitig fest verbunden. Die Flanschscheibe 7 weist einen beträchtlich größeren Durchmesser auf als die Achse 6 und ist an ihrem Umfang mit mehreren Einkerbungen 8 ausgestattet.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 and 5, each swivel lever 3 is connected to an axis 6 which passes through the side rest 2 and which is rotatable within the side rest 2. On this axis 6 is a flange 7 placed against rotation or otherwise firmly connected to this axis 6. The flange disc 7 has a considerably larger diameter than the axis 6 and is equipped with several notches 8 on its circumference.

Außerdem ist an jeder Flanschscheibe 7 ein Bügel 9 angeschlossen, und zwar über einen an der jeweiligen Flanschscheibe 7 befestigten Bolzen 10, der in eine entsprechende Bohrung 11 des Bügels 9 eingreift.In addition, a bracket 9 is connected to each flange disk 7, specifically via a bolt 10 fastened to the respective flange disk 7, which engages in a corresponding bore 11 in the bracket 9.

Der Bügel 9 ist jeweils oberhalb der Achsen 6 angeordnet und in seinen Endbereichen mit nach unten gerichteten Auslegern 12 versehen, innerhalb derer die Bohrungen 11 und die in diese Bohrungen 11 eingreifende Bolzen 10 angeordnet sind.The bracket 9 is arranged above the axes 6 and provided in its end regions with downwardly directed arms 12, within which the bores 11 and the bolts 10 engaging in these bores 11 are arranged.

Hierdurch wird die untere Schwenkstellung ebenso begrenzt wie die obere Schwenkstellung, und zwar dadurch, daß sich der Bügel 9 einerseits auf die in Figur 2 linke Achse 9 auflegt und andererseits - d. h. bei vollständig nach oben geschwenkter Seitenlehne 2 - auf die in Figur 2 rechte Achse 6 aufliegt. Der Schwenkwinkel der Seitenlehne 2 ist durch die gewählte Konstruktion auf ca. 150° begrenzt.As a result, the lower swivel position is limited as well as the upper swivel position, in that the bracket 9 on the one hand rests on the left axis 9 in FIG. H. with the backrest 2 pivoted completely upwards - on which the right axis 6 in FIG. 2 rests. The swivel angle of the side rest 2 is limited to approximately 150 ° by the selected construction.

Werden andere Schwenkwinkel gewünscht, kann dies durch Verlängerung oder Verkürzung der Ausleger 12 und den dadurch möglichen Höhenversatz von Bolzen 10 und Bohrung 11, bezogen auf die Auflageebene des Bügels 9 auf den Achsen 6, erreicht werden.If other swivel angles are desired, this can be achieved by lengthening or shortening the boom 12 and the possible height offset of the bolt 10 and the bore 11, based on the support plane of the bracket 9 on the axes 6.

Die jeweiligen Endpositionen der Verschwenkstellungen sind zusätzlich gesichert durch einen Rastbolzen 13, der je nach Schwenkstellung in eine der schon erwähnten Einkerbungen 8 der Flanschscheibe 7 eingreift. Dieser Rastbolzen 13 ist mit einer Betätigungseinrichtung 14 verbunden, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einer in der Seitenlehne 2 angebrachten, vertikal beweglichen und mit einer Grifföffnung 15 versehenen Formplatte 16 besteht. Diese Formplatte 16 kann nach vorheriger Betätigung einer Sperrklinke 17 angehoben werden, wodurch der Rastbolzen 13 außer Eingriff mit der jeweiligen Einkerbung 8 kommt. Nunmehr besteht die Möglichkeit der Verschwenkung der Seitenlehne 2, bis eine weitere Einkerbung 8 in Eingriff mit den Rastbolzen 13 kommt. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind insgesamt drei Stellungen verriegelbar, und zwar die untere und die obere Endstellung sowie eine Zwischenlage. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, die Flanschscheibe 7 umfangsseitig gewissermaßen mit einer Verzahnung zu versehen, wodurch eine Vielzahl von möglichen Zwischenstellungen verriegelt werden könnten.The respective end positions of the pivot positions are additionally secured by a locking pin 13 which, depending on the pivot position, engages in one of the notches 8 of the flange disk 7 already mentioned. This locking pin 13 is connected to an actuating device 14, which in the exemplary embodiment shown consists of a in the side rest 2 attached, vertically movable and provided with a handle opening 15 molded plate 16. This form plate 16 can be raised after previous actuation of a pawl 17, whereby the locking pin 13 disengages from the respective notch 8. Now there is the possibility of pivoting the side rest 2 until a further notch 8 comes into engagement with the locking bolts 13. In the illustrated embodiment, a total of three positions can be locked, namely the lower and the upper end position and an intermediate layer. However, there is also the possibility of providing the flange disk 7 with a toothing on the circumference, as a result of which a large number of possible intermediate positions could be locked.

Sofern gewünscht wird, daß eine im Bett liegende Person keine Möglichkeit hat, die Seitenlehne 2 zu verschwenken, kann durch eine Schließeinrichtung 18 eine Verschiebung der Formplatte 16 verhindert werden. Die Schließeinrichtung 18 besteht aus einer drehbaren Scheibe, die wahlweise in den Verschiebebereich der Formplatte 16 hineingedreht oder aus diesem Verschiebebereich herausgedreht werden kann.If it is desired that a person lying in bed has no possibility to pivot the backrest 2, a displacement of the mold plate 16 can be prevented by a locking device 18. The locking device 18 consists of a rotatable disk which can either be screwed into the displacement area of the molding plate 16 or can be turned out of this displacement area.

Die Schließeinrichtung 18 ist vorteilhafterweise so gestaltet, daß ihre Betätigung ausschließlich von außerhalb des Bettes möglich ist und außerdem ein Werkzeug oder ein Schlüssel oder dergleichen erfordert. Somit sind bei Bedarf Fehlbedienungen sicher zu vermeiden.The locking device 18 is advantageously designed so that it can only be actuated from outside the bed and also requires a tool or a key or the like. In this way, incorrect operation can be safely avoided if necessary.
