Definitions
- the invention relates to a reclining device for supporting a recumbent person with a stand and arranged thereon (i) a first movably mounted thigh receptacle for supporting the first thigh of the person, (ii) a movably mounted independent of the first femoral receptacle and combined with this to a total recording second thigh support for supporting the second thigh of the subject, and (iii) a back and head support movably mounted independently of the first and second thigh supports for supporting at least the chest and / or lower back of the person, (A) each thigh support comprising a pivot bearing device (B) for each thigh receiving the Schwenklagervorides is assigned via a lever arm the stand, (C) the back and head receiving is associated with a pivot bearing device, d ie, the pivot bearing device is associated with the stand via a lever arm, and (E) the pivot bearing devices are respectively associated with the thigh recesses and the back and head receptacle
- the WO 93/19648 relates to an active dynamic seat device comprising a foot part, an intermediate piece connected to the foot part and a seat part connected to the intermediate piece, wherein the seat part is formed in two parts.
- the seat halves are independent of each other substantially vertically resiliently connected to the intermediate piece and each have a support member and a seat half arranged thereon. Each seat half is tilted forward and backward supported on the support member.
- the WO 99/16335 A1 discloses a seat with a pair of seat bodies, each allowing a vertical displacement as well as a rocking movement forward and backward. From the US 2003/0073552 A1 is a adjustable rigid seating arrangement with sensors known whose framework supports the entire body of a user and permits resistance exercises.
- Lounger devices are usually flat over the entire surface, like a bed, or designed as an armchair, so that the half-sitting, half reclining person is ergonomically supported in the back area. Examples are corresponding lounge and massage chairs with half-lying position.
- Couch devices such as e.g. Operating tables allow the independent storage of the left and right lower and thigh supports, the upper body, the arms and the head.
- Common to the reclining devices of the prior art is that they provide posture to the reclining person or support a particular posture. In particular, the angle and the longitudinal rotation of the rib cage to the pelvis are not spontaneous and free to move and, moreover, are usually damped by upholstery and / or by a backrest. There is no free torsional movement between the ribcage and the pelvis in the lying devices of the prior art.
- a device is to be provided, which allows the user to take their natural posture while lying down.
- the device should train the sense of balance and the associated muscle tone.
- the device of the problem permanently lying people with skeletal and muscle pain and bedsores, ie counteract the decubitus.
- a couch which supports the lying person only on the back and on the thighs independently movable, the person not only stably stored, but supports the natural balance of the person lying and their natural lying posture.
- the person lying freely move freely in its optimal appearing state of equilibrium along its longitudinal axis (along the back) and stabilize this state by constant small movements.
- the position correction is unconscious and there is a feeling of weightlessness, which is comparable to the drifting in water.
- the apparently unstable condition of the patient promotes the equilibrium behavior and the muscle tone of the person lying down.
- the free mobility of the trunk and the legs without direct support of the pelvis is suitable to treat bad posture, muscle tension and backbone malpositions. It is advantageous that the person can operate the couch device after a short settling himself stable and is treated so without care physiotherapeutic throughout the trunk area from the neck down to the pelvis.
- the couch according to the invention has a very strong therapeutic effect on postural, muscular and neuronal disorders.
- the body is stimulated by pressure points and motion feedback (feedback effects) to move in its most natural, primal form.
- the spine In the freely movable reclining position according to the invention, the spine is gently stretched and the muscle groups associated therewith are relaxed. Smallest movements of a body part such as of a foot, an extremity or a finger cause perceptible whole-body movements. These are very relaxing.
- coordination processes of the body are trained or learned again.
- the feelings of touch and movement of the reclining person are significantly increased by the effects of the couch. This is therapeutically very beneficial because the patient can react so much more to therapeutic measures.
- the coordination and feedback movements required for the equilibrium also give the impression of the subject according to the invention as if it were floating or lying on water.
- inventive couch is the support of micro-movements, such as the smallest movements such as breathing, the hand, the head, the foot, the smallest shifts of the body's center of gravity or the center of gravity of individual body parts.
- micro-movements such as the smallest movements such as breathing, the hand, the head, the foot, the smallest shifts of the body's center of gravity or the center of gravity of individual body parts.
- the inventive couch is thus ideally suited to the decubitus of a permanently lying Person to counteract by micro-movements and so avoid bedsores, muscle atrophy as well as muscle and skeletal pain.
- each receptacle in each case supports a thigh and thus the respective left or right lower body half or these lower body halves are mounted thereon pivotally.
- the back and head support pivotally supports the back or chest and head in the longitudinal direction of the reclining person, i. Swiveling along the vertebrae. All three shots in combination result in a load-free and freely movable three-point hitch of the pool, i. on the spine and the two thigh joint pans, which ensures in addition to the free mobility of the pelvis in the longitudinal axis and a lateral rotation of the pelvis.
- the freely movable three-point suspension of the pelvis advantageously allows a particularly relaxed and comfortable felt lying, which is comparable to a drifting in water on the back and relieves the back around the pelvis for the most part.
- the pivot bearing devices are each assigned to the thigh recesses and the back and head receptacle so that the weight of the person lying is substantially absorbed on the thigh and back and the pivot bearing devices are in the horizontal state from the equilibrium position of the person lying out freely.
- the pivot bearings are advantageously positioned at the respective center of gravity of thighs or back and head receiving, so that a three-point suspension easily displaceable by the person lying comes about.
- the pivot bearing devices for the thigh recesses and / or the back and head receptacles are positioned directly under the respective receptacle, preferably at the respective center of gravity of the thigh or back and head receptacle. but if certain muscle groups are preferred to train, the pivot bearings can also be positioned in front of or behind the centers of gravity of the thigh and back and head recording, so as to complicate the pivotability in one direction or easier.
- a pivoting of the Schwenklagervorraumen that is as free as possible and perceived by the person as lying behind promotes the "wind" of the pelvis and the spine and the associated muscles, tendons, intervertebral discs and skeletal bones.
- both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) and preferably also the lever arm (15) the back and head receptacle (5) are elastically flexible and can be bent by the person lying preferably by 5 to 30 °, more preferably 5 to 20 ° in the vertical direction (c).
- the reclining person can additionally influence their reclining position on the three-point suspension of the two thigh recesses and the back and head receptacle by shifting their weight, for example by the three receptacles taking different height positions relative to one another depending on the weight shift.
- both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and preferably also the lever arm (15) of the back and head support (5) are torsionally elastic and from the lying Person preferably by 5 to 90 °, more preferably 5 to 60 ° can be rotated.
- These additional degrees of freedom facilitate lateral rotational movements of the lying body, since the recordings move sideways together with the body or the body parts lying thereon and do not oppose this rotational movement or at least to a lesser extent.
- both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and preferably the lever arm (15) of the back and head receptacle (5) are flexurally and torsionally elastic.
- the pivot bearing device (8, 9) via a lever arm (10, 11) and about a vertical axis B rotatable pivot bearing (12, 13) associated with the stand (2) ,
- the thighs of the person lying in the recordings on the assignment of each optional pivot bearing on the stand to the thigh recordings on a lever arm can be spread freely and independently outwards and convey the person lying that the pelvis without support and completely free to move is.
- the thigh shots offer in this preferred embodiment thus per shot each two degrees of freedom in the longitudinal and transverse directions, which are freely combined with each other.
- the lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) are assigned to the stand (2) together via a pivot bearing (20) which is rotatable about a vertical axis B, or preferably the pivot bearings (12, 13) of the lever arms (10, 11) associated with the stand (2) by an additional about a vertical axis B rotatable pivot bearing (20).
- This the thigh recordings (3, 4) commonly assigned pivot bearing (20) connects the thigh recesses (3, 4) movable and oriented relative to each other.
- the thigh admissions of the inventive couch are preferably assigned in each case a rigid or more preferably a pivotable lower leg receptacle (16, 17).
- These lower leg receptacles (16, 17) are preferably pivotable in several or all directions, but particularly preferably depending on the pivoting direction with different resistance or effort. It is preferred that a movement in the vertical direction (up / down) opposes more resistance than a movement in the horizontal (left / right).
- the person lying can vary the angle between the upper and lower leg and thus affect their overall equilibrium position.
- each thigh receptacle (3, 4) is assigned a lower leg receptacle (16, 17) fixed or pivotable about a horizontal axis A via a pivot bearing device (18, 19).
- the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) can be assigned to the stand (2) or its base plate (25) directly via the respective lever arms (10, 11, 15) or the pivot bearing devices and pivot bearings be.
- the lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) and / or the lever arm (15) of the back and head receptacle (5) to the stand (2) via at least one pivot bearing device (21) associated with a longitudinal axis C pivotable, preferably the lever arms (10, 11) and / or the lever arm (15) the stand (2) via at least one pivot bearing device (21) on the base plate (25) pivotally associated about a longitudinal axis C.
- the lying person can pivot the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) along the longitudinal axis C to the left and to the right, thus obtaining an additional degree of freedom which positively influences the sense of equilibrium and the muscle tone ,
- the deflection of the pivot bearing device (s) (21) be limited to the sides in order to avoid lateral falling out of lying persons with impaired sense of equilibrium.
- the at least one pivot bearing device (21) is pivotable about the longitudinal axis C at least 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 15, more preferably 5 to 10 °.
- the lying device according to the invention has at least one pivot bearing device (21) about the longitudinal axis C with a restoring force and / or is braked pivotable.

- the pivot bearing device (21) can also be arranged elsewhere on the lever arms (10, 11, 15) and / or on the connections of these lever arms to the receptacles or their pivot bearings.
- Another alternative to lateral deflection of the receptacles (3, 4 and / or 5) in the horizontal state can be realized via torsionally elastic lever arms (10, 11, 14).
- At least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) of the inventive couch is a pivot bearing spring device which is pivotable with a spring stiffness.
- the spring stiffness of the pivot bearing device supports in particular insecure beginners and low toned persons to find their way back to the stable middle position.
- the spring stiffness causes the pivot bearing deflection counteracts a spring force, which returns the pivot bearing to its rest position when the person lying no force on the bearing exerts.
- the spring force increases with the extent of the deflection.
- the spring stiffness supports in a deflection, the countermovement and thus promotes the urge to move of the person lying.
- the spring force counteracts an excessive movement of the person lying and increases their sense of stability.
- the spring stiffness can also intensify the weightless, seemingly floating feeling of the person lying down and cushion the pressure on the thigh or the back and head receptacle.
- At least one of the pivot bearing (12, 13, 20) of the deck is a braked pivot bearing. It is particularly preferred if at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) and / or at least one of the rotatable pivot bearing (12, 13, 20) has a restoring force. It is also preferred that in the braked pivot bearings whose braking effect increases with the deflection of the pivot bearing. This also affects an excessive movement of the lying Person and increases their sense of stability. It is further preferred that at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) is a braked pivot bearing device.
- the pivot bearings of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) are assigned to the stand (2) preferably via a common base plate (25), so that the displacement of the base plate (25) both pivot bearings (12, 13) and thus the lever arms (10, 11) and the associated thigh recordings (3, 4) with shifts.
- the angle of at least one of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) associated lever arms (10, 11, 15) to the horizontal is preferably between 5 and 90, more preferably 10 and 70, most preferably between 15 and 60 °. It is also preferred that the angle of at least one of the lever arms (10, 11, 15) is adjustable to the horizontal.
- the reclining device can be adapted to the needs and body mass of the person lying. Depending on the length and angle of the lever arm so changes the position of the thigh or the back and head recording in height and / or in the distance from each other.
- the pivot angle of at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 15) can be limited to at least one of the lever arms (10, 11, 14), i. can not be exceeded by the person lying down.
- This swivel angle limitation facilitates entry and also exit from the couchette device according to the invention.
- the distance of the thigh recesses (3, 4) for back and head recording (5, 6) on the Stand (2) be designed adjustable.
- the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) on a slide ((24) for the back and head receptacle 5) be arranged adjustable and the respective position with a locking pin or other locking be detected ,
- the movably mounted back and head receptacle can be assigned at least one lateral support for the thorax and / or lower back.
- This side support can, for example, only in the form of adhesive surfaces on the back and Head-receiving, which prevent slipping of the person lying in the form of one or more straps and / or in the form of side supports such as seats of sports cars to be configured.
- a lateral support also has a psychological effect on the person lying down.
- the person lying on a sufficiently wide back recording hold the balance so that an additional side support is not necessary.
- a strongly formed lateral support is only necessary if the lying person is impaired in their equilibrium, eg by maldevelopment, illness, eg stroke, or injury. In healthy people with normal sense of balance, it is usually sufficient that the back recording is designed non-slip.
- the back and head recording with or without side support may be, for example, one piece, or in two parts with separate head and back recording, or be designed in three parts (or multi-part) with separate head, upper and lower back.
- the individual elements of the back and head receptacle are rigid, flexible and / or movable connected to each other.
- the elements of the two- or three-piece back and head receptacle can be assigned via one, two or more lever arms. This may or may be rigid or have a spring stiffness.
- individual or all elements of the two-part or three-part back and head receptacle can be pivoted vertically about a horizontal axis A by means of pivot bearing devices, so that the back and head receptacle also permits "winding" of the backbone in this area.
- the back and head recording also allows a limited lateral rotation of the recording at least in the back area, so that the lateral rotation about the longitudinal axis C of the person lying is supported to a limited extent, but this can not lose the lateral support.
- the present invention relates to couches with movably mounted back and head receptacle (5, 6) selected from one-piece or two-part back and head intake; three-part head, upper and lower back recording, with two or more parts arrangement, the individual elements are rigidly, flexibly and / or movably connected to each other and the pivot bearing device (14) of the back seat (5) or the upper back seat (5a) is associated.
- the pivot bearing device which assigns the back and head receptacle (5) via the lever arm (15) to the stand (2) is advantageously associated with the back seat or the lower back seat (5a), so that the center of gravity of the upper body of the person lying on the pivot bearing device or at a short distance.
- the lower back (5a) contributes in preferred embodiments only limited to the inclusion of the person lying, and only serves the comfort of feeling that the lower back is supported and not like the pelvis hanging freely in the air.
- the angle restriction and the preferred restoring force facilitate the entry and exit in the inventive reclining device.
- the stand (2) of the reclining device according to the invention must securely hold the device in the lying mode as well as when entering and exiting the person using it in position. It can be designed in one piece, depending on requirements and aesthetic requirements, for example as a block or as a frame with feet, usually at least four of them. Alternatively, the stand can only be a securely fastened to the ground rail for receiving the thigh recordings and the back and head recording. Also, the thigh and the head and back shots can be connected separately to the ground. Then the stand is in several parts. The stand only has to fulfill the function of associating the thigh and the head and back seats with each other in such a way that the function of the couch according to the invention can be reworked, ie.
- the stand can also be attached to the ceiling or a wall, as long as it ensures a stable allocation of the images to lie down.
- the stand and / or the lever arms can be supported in a damping or resilient manner, e.g. on rubber or spring bearings.

Sitzvorrichtungen mit Teilsitzen zum Lagern einer sitzenden Person sind bekannt. Die Person kann auf den beiden Teilsitzen Platz nehmen, wobei die Teilsitze die Personen unabhängig voneinander unterstützen können. Die
Liegevorrichtungen sind üblicherweise vollflächig eben, wie ein Bett, oder sesselartig ausgeführt, so dass die halb sitzend, halb liegend gelagerte Person im Rückenbereich ergonomisch unterstützt wird. Beispiele sind entsprechende Lounge- und Massagestühle mit halb liegender Position. Liegevorrichtungen wie z.B. Operations-tische erlauben das unabhängige Lagern der linken bzw. rechten Unter- und Oberschenkelauflagen, der Oberkörpers, der Arme und des Kopfes. Den Liegevorrichtungen des Stands der Technik ist gemeinsam, dass sie der liegenden Person die Haltung vorgeben oder eine bestimmte Haltung unterstützen. Insbesondere sind der Winkel und die Längsrotation von Brustkorb zum Becken nicht spontan und frei beweglich und zudem meist durch Polster und/oder durch eine Rückenlehne gedämpft. Eine freie Torsionsbewegung zwischen Brustkorb und Becken gibt es bei den Liegevorrichtungen des Stands der Technik gar nicht.Lounger devices are usually flat over the entire surface, like a bed, or designed as an armchair, so that the half-sitting, half reclining person is ergonomically supported in the back area. Examples are corresponding lounge and massage chairs with half-lying position. Couch devices such as e.g. Operating tables allow the independent storage of the left and right lower and thigh supports, the upper body, the arms and the head. Common to the reclining devices of the prior art is that they provide posture to the reclining person or support a particular posture. In particular, the angle and the longitudinal rotation of the rib cage to the pelvis are not spontaneous and free to move and, moreover, are usually damped by upholstery and / or by a backrest. There is no free torsional movement between the ribcage and the pelvis in the lying devices of the prior art.
Problematisch bei Fehlhaltungen, Muskelverspannungen und Rückgratfehlstellungen ist, dass die liegende oder sitzende Haltung der davon betroffenen Personen festgelegt wird und entspannende Bewegungen hemmt. Zwar passt sich ein Wasserbett an die jeweiligen Druckpunkte des Kopfes, des Rückens und des Beckens an, es bietet aber nicht die nötigen Freiheitsgrade für Bewegungen, die Fehlhaltungen, Muskelverspannungen und Rückgratfehlstellungen therapieren oder auch nur erträglich machen. Zudem beeinflussen bei Wasserbetten die durch Bewegung ausgelösten Druckwellenphänomene die Bewegungen der Person massgeblich mit. Eine weitere medizinische Problematik sind Menschen mit unterentwickeltem Muskeltonus oder denen der Muskeltonus durch Krankheit oder Unfall abhanden gekommen ist und die Muskeltonus und Gleichgewicht durch Physiotherapie wieder erlernen müssen. Diese physiötherapeutischen Übungen werden üblicherweise von einem Physiotherapeuten begleitet und erfordern häufig komplexe und teure orthopädische Vorrichtungen. Zudem sind physiotherapeutische Übungen wegen der Betreuung und der damit verbundenen Anstrengungen zeitlich begrenzt.The problem with bad posture, muscle tension and backbone malpositions is that the lying or sitting posture of the affected persons is determined and inhibits relaxing movements. Although a waterbed adapts to the respective pressure points of the head, back and pelvis, it does not provide the necessary degrees of freedom for movements that treat or even tolerate bad posture, muscle tension and backbone malpositions. In addition, in waterbeds, the pressure wave phenomena triggered by movement significantly influence the person's movements. Another medical problem is people with underdeveloped muscle tone, or those who have lost muscle tone due to illness or accident, and who need to relearn muscle tone and balance through physiotherapy. These physiotherapeutic exercises are usually accompanied by a physiotherapist and often require complex and expensive orthopedic devices. In addition, physiotherapy exercises are limited in time due to the care and the associated efforts.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein verbessertes Liegen zu ermöglichen, insbesondere derart zu liegen, dass ein ermüdungsfreies und komfortabel empfundenes Liegen möglich ist. Zudem soll eine Vorrichtung bereitgestellt werden, die es der nutzenden Person ermöglicht, ihre natürliche Körperhaltung auch liegend einzunehmen. Des Weiteren soll die Vorrichtung den Gleichgewichtssinn und damit verbunden den Muskeltonus trainieren. Auch soll die Vorrichtung der Problematik dauerhaft liegender Personen mit Skelett- und Muskelschmerzen sowie Wundliegen, d.h. dem Decubitus entgegenwirken.It is the object of the present invention to enable an improved lying, in particular to be such that a fatigue-free and comfortable felt lying is possible. In addition, a device is to be provided, which allows the user to take their natural posture while lying down. Furthermore, the device should train the sense of balance and the associated muscle tone. Also, the device of the problem permanently lying people with skeletal and muscle pain and bedsores, ie counteract the decubitus.

- die Schwenklagervorrichtung (14) dem Standfuss (2) über einen Hebelarm (15) zugeordnet ist,
- und die Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14) jeweils den Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5, 6) so zugeordnet sind, dass das Gewicht der liegenden Person im Wesentlichen am Oberschenkel und Rücken aufgenommen wird und die Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14) im liegenden Zustand aus dem Gleichgewicht heraus frei verschwenkbar sind.
- a first movably mounted thigh receptacle (3) for supporting the first thigh of the person,
- an independent of the first thigh receptacle (3) movably mounted and combined with this to a total intake second thigh receptacle (4) for supporting the second thigh of the person, and
- a back and head support (5, 6) movably mounted independently of the first and second thigh receptacles (3, 4) for supporting at least the thorax and / or the lower back of the person,
- each thigh receptacle (3, 4) is associated with a pivot bearing device (8, 9) which is pivotable about a horizontal axis A at the respective thigh receptacle (3, 4),
- for each thigh support (3, 4) the pivot bearing device (8, 9) is associated with the base (2) via a lever arm (10, 11),
- the back and head receptacle (5, 6) is associated with a pivot bearing device (14) which is pivotable about a horizontal axis A on the back and head receptacle (5, 6),
- the pivot bearing device (14) is assigned to the base (2) via a lever arm (15),
- and the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14) are respectively associated with the thigh seats (3, 4) and the back and head seats (5, 6) so as to substantially accommodate the weight of the person lying on the thigh and back and the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14) are freely pivotable in the horizontal state out of balance.
Überraschend hat sich herausgestellt, dass eine Liege, die die liegende Person lediglich am Rücken und an den Oberschenkeln unabhängig voneinander beweglich lagert, die Person nicht nur stabil lagert, sondern das natürliche Gleichgewicht der liegenden Person sowie deren natürliche liegende Haltung unterstützt. Durch die um eine Horizontalachse verschwenkbaren Oberschenkelaufnahmen und Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme kann sich die liegende Person frei beweglich in den ihr optimal erscheinenden Gleichgewichtszustand entlang Ihrer Längsachse (entlang des Rückens) bringen und diesen Zustand durch ständige kleine Bewegungen stabilisieren. Nach der Eingewöhnung in diesen scheinbar instabilen Liegezustand erfolgt die Lagekorrektur unbewusst und es kommt zu einem Empfinden von Schwerelosigkeit, die mit dem Treiben in Wasser vergleichbar ist. Der scheinbar instabile Liegezustand fördert das Gleichgewichtsverhalten und den Muskeltonus der liegenden Person. Die freie Beweglichkeit des Rumpfes und der Beine ohne direkte Stützung des Beckens ist geeignet, Fehlhaltungen, Muskelverspannungen und Rückgratfehlstellungen zu therapieren. Vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass die Person die Liegevorrichtung nach kurzer Eingewöhnung selbst stabil bedienen kann und so ohne Betreuung physiotherapeutisch im gesamten Rumpfbereich vom Hals abwärts bis zum Becken behandelt wird.Surprisingly, it has been found that a couch, which supports the lying person only on the back and on the thighs independently movable, the person not only stably stored, but supports the natural balance of the person lying and their natural lying posture. By the swiveling about a horizontal axis femoral shots and back and head recording, the person lying freely move freely in its optimal appearing state of equilibrium along its longitudinal axis (along the back) and stabilize this state by constant small movements. After the acclimation In this seemingly unstable state of rest, the position correction is unconscious and there is a feeling of weightlessness, which is comparable to the drifting in water. The apparently unstable condition of the patient promotes the equilibrium behavior and the muscle tone of the person lying down. The free mobility of the trunk and the legs without direct support of the pelvis is suitable to treat bad posture, muscle tension and backbone malpositions. It is advantageous that the person can operate the couch device after a short settling himself stable and is treated so without care physiotherapeutic throughout the trunk area from the neck down to the pelvis.
Wichtiger als die angeborene oder erlernte Körperhaltung einer Person sind deren neuronale Koordinationsprogramme, die im Nervensystem verankert sind, die in der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung abgerufen werden. Deren Liegeposition wirkt sehr entspannend und wird als emotional positiv empfunden. Weiterhin hat die erfindungsgemässe Liege einen sehr starken therapeutischen Effekt auf Haltungs-, Muskel- und neuronale Leiden. Der Körper wird durch Druckpunkte und Bewegungsrückmeldungen (Feedback-Effekte) angeregt, sich in seiner natürlichsten, ursprünglichsten Form zu bewegen. In der erfindungsgemässen frei beweglichen Liegeposition wird auch die Wirbelsäule schonend gedehnt sowie die damit in Verbindung stehenden Muskelgruppen entspannt. Kleinste Bewegungen eines Körperteils wie z.B. eines Fusses, einer Extremität oder eines Fingers lösen wahrnehmbare Ganzkörperbewegungen aus. Diese wirken sehr entspannend. Ausserdem werden Koordinationsabläufe des Körpers trainiert bzw. wieder erlernt. Auch werden durch die Effekte der Liege der Berührungs- und Bewegungssinn der liegenden Person deutlich gesteigert. Dies ist therapeutisch sehr vorteilhaft, da der Patient so viel stärker auf therapeutische Massnahmen reagieren kann. Durch die für das Gleichgewicht erforderlichen Koordinations- und Feedbackbewegungen entsteht zudem bei der erfindungsgemäss liegenden Person der Eindruck, als ob diese schweben oder auf Wasser liegen würde.More important than the innate or learned posture of a person are their neuronal coordination programs, which are anchored in the nervous system, which are retrieved in the inventive couch device. Their reclining position is very relaxing and is perceived as emotionally positive. Furthermore, the couch according to the invention has a very strong therapeutic effect on postural, muscular and neuronal disorders. The body is stimulated by pressure points and motion feedback (feedback effects) to move in its most natural, primal form. In the freely movable reclining position according to the invention, the spine is gently stretched and the muscle groups associated therewith are relaxed. Smallest movements of a body part such as of a foot, an extremity or a finger cause perceptible whole-body movements. These are very relaxing. In addition, coordination processes of the body are trained or learned again. Also, the feelings of touch and movement of the reclining person are significantly increased by the effects of the couch. This is therapeutically very beneficial because the patient can react so much more to therapeutic measures. The coordination and feedback movements required for the equilibrium also give the impression of the subject according to the invention as if it were floating or lying on water.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Liege ist die Unterstützung von Mikrobewegungen, beispielsweise kleinste Bewegungen wie die der Atmung, der Hand, des Kopfes, des Fusses, kleinster Verschiebungen des Körperschwerpunktes oder des Schwerpunktes einzelner Körperteile. Durch solche Mikrobewegungen kompensiert die liegende Person Druckempfinden, beispielsweise ausgelöst durch andere Personen, Geräte und Auflageflächen, wodurch langwierige, gleichbleibende Belastungen der Gelenke, Bandscheiben und des Muskelapparates verhindert werden. Die erfindungsgemässe Liege ist somit bestens geeignet, dem Decubitus einer dauerhaft liegenden Person durch Mikrobewegungen entgegen zu wirken und so das Wundliegen, Muskelatrophien wie auch Muskel- und Skelettschmerzen zu vermeiden.Another advantage of the inventive couch is the support of micro-movements, such as the smallest movements such as breathing, the hand, the head, the foot, the smallest shifts of the body's center of gravity or the center of gravity of individual body parts. By such micro-movements, the lying person compensates pressure sensation, for example, triggered by other people, devices and support surfaces, thereby tedious, consistent loads on the joints, intervertebral discs and the muscular system are prevented. The inventive couch is thus ideally suited to the decubitus of a permanently lying Person to counteract by micro-movements and so avoid bedsores, muscle atrophy as well as muscle and skeletal pain.
Zum Liegen kann die Person so auf den Oberschenkelaufnahmen Platz nehmen, dass jede Aufnahme jeweils einen Oberschenkel und damit die jeweilige linke oder rechte untere Körperhälfte stützt bzw. diese unteren Körperhälften darauf verschwenkbar gelagert sind.For lying down, the person can take place on the thigh shots that each receptacle in each case supports a thigh and thus the respective left or right lower body half or these lower body halves are mounted thereon pivotally.
Die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme stützt den Rücken bzw. die Brust und den Kopf in Längsrichtung der liegenden Person verschwenkbar, d.h. entlang der Rückenwirbel verschwenkbar. Alle drei Aufnahmen in Kombination führen zu einer lastfreien und frei beweglichen Dreipunktaufhängung des Beckens, d.h. an der Wirbelsäule und den zwei Oberschenkelgelenkpfannen, die neben der freien Beweglichkeit des Beckens in der Längsachse auch eine seitliche Drehung des Beckens gewährleistet. Die frei bewegliche Dreipunktaufhängung des Beckens ermöglicht vorteilhaft ein besonders entspanntes und als komfortabel empfundenes Liegen, das etwa mit einem auf dem Rücken Treiben in Wasser vergleichbar ist und den Rücken um das Becken herum grösstenteils entlastet.The back and head support pivotally supports the back or chest and head in the longitudinal direction of the reclining person, i. Swiveling along the vertebrae. All three shots in combination result in a load-free and freely movable three-point hitch of the pool, i. on the spine and the two thigh joint pans, which ensures in addition to the free mobility of the pelvis in the longitudinal axis and a lateral rotation of the pelvis. The freely movable three-point suspension of the pelvis advantageously allows a particularly relaxed and comfortable felt lying, which is comparable to a drifting in water on the back and relieves the back around the pelvis for the most part.
Vorteilhaft sind die Schwenklagervorrichtungen jeweils den Oberschenkelaufnahmen und der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme so zugeordnet, dass das Gewicht der liegenden Person im Wesentlichen am Oberschenkel und Rücken aufgenommen wird und die Schwenklagervorrichtungen im liegenden Zustand aus der Gleichgewichtsposition der liegenden Person heraus frei verschwenkbar sind. Das heisst, dass die Schwenklager vorteilhaft am jeweiligen Schwerpunkt von Oberschenkel bzw. Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme positioniert sind, so dass eine von der liegenden Person leicht verschiebbare Dreipunktaufhängung zustande kommt. Vorzugsweise sind die Schwenklagervorrichtungen für die Oberschenkelaufnahmen und/oder die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme direkt unter der jeweiligen Aufnahme positioniert, vorzugsweise am jeweiligen Schwerpunkt von Oberschenkel bzw. Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme Bei Bedarf, z.B. wenn bestimmte Muskelgruppen bevorzugt zu trainieren sind, können die Schwenklager aber auch vor oder hinter den Schwerpunkten von Oberschenkel bzw. Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme positioniert werden, um so die Verschwenkbarkeit in eine Richtung zu erschweren oder zu erleichtern.Advantageously, the pivot bearing devices are each assigned to the thigh recesses and the back and head receptacle so that the weight of the person lying is substantially absorbed on the thigh and back and the pivot bearing devices are in the horizontal state from the equilibrium position of the person lying out freely. This means that the pivot bearings are advantageously positioned at the respective center of gravity of thighs or back and head receiving, so that a three-point suspension easily displaceable by the person lying comes about. Preferably, the pivot bearing devices for the thigh recesses and / or the back and head receptacles are positioned directly under the respective receptacle, preferably at the respective center of gravity of the thigh or back and head receptacle. but if certain muscle groups are preferred to train, the pivot bearings can also be positioned in front of or behind the centers of gravity of the thigh and back and head recording, so as to complicate the pivotability in one direction or easier.
Eine möglichst freie und von der liegenden Person als leicht empfundene Verschwenkbarkeit der Schwenklagervorrichtungen fördert das "Winden" des Beckens und der Wirbelsäule sowie der damit verbundenen Muskeln, Sehnen, Bandscheiben und Skelettknochen.A pivoting of the Schwenklagervorrichtungen that is as free as possible and perceived by the person as lying behind promotes the "wind" of the pelvis and the spine and the associated muscles, tendons, intervertebral discs and skeletal bones.
Bei Ausführungsformen der Liegevorrichtung ist vorgesehen, dass beide Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und vorzugsweise auch der Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) biegeelastisch sind und von der liegenden Person vorzugsweise um 5 bis 30 °, mehr bevorzugt 5 bis 20 ° in Vertikalrichtung (c) verbogen werden können. So kann die liegende Person Ihre Liegeposition auf der Dreipunktaufhängung der zwei Oberschenkelaufnahmen und der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme zusätzlich durch Gewichtsverlagerung beeinflussen, beispielsweise indem die drei Aufnahmen je nach Gewichtsverschiebung unterschiedliche Höhenpositionen relativ zueinander einnehmen.In embodiments of the reclining device is provided that both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) and preferably also the lever arm (15) the back and head receptacle (5) are elastically flexible and can be bent by the person lying preferably by 5 to 30 °, more preferably 5 to 20 ° in the vertical direction (c). Thus, the reclining person can additionally influence their reclining position on the three-point suspension of the two thigh recesses and the back and head receptacle by shifting their weight, for example by the three receptacles taking different height positions relative to one another depending on the weight shift.
Weiterhin ist es eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, wenn bei der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung beide Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und vorzugsweise auch der Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) torsionselastisch sind und von der liegenden Person vorzugsweise um 5 bis 90 °, mehr bevorzugt 5 bis 60 ° verdreht werden können. Diese zusätzlichen Freiheitsgrade erleichtern seitliche Drehbewegungen des liegenden Körpers, da sich die Aufnahmen zusammen mit dem Körper bzw. den darauf liegenden Körperteilen seitwärts bewegen und dieser Drehbewegung nicht oder wenigstens in geringerem Ausmass entgegenstehen.Furthermore, it is a preferred embodiment of the invention when in the inventive reclining device both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and preferably also the lever arm (15) of the back and head support (5) are torsionally elastic and from the lying Person preferably by 5 to 90 °, more preferably 5 to 60 ° can be rotated. These additional degrees of freedom facilitate lateral rotational movements of the lying body, since the recordings move sideways together with the body or the body parts lying thereon and do not oppose this rotational movement or at least to a lesser extent.
Besonders bevorzugt sind erfindungsgemässe Liegen, bei denen beide Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und vorzugsweise der Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) biege- und torsionselastisch sind.Particularly preferred are couches according to the invention, in which both lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and preferably the lever arm (15) of the back and head receptacle (5) are flexurally and torsionally elastic.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung ist für jede Oberschenkelaufnahme (3, 4) die Schwenklagervorrichtung (8, 9) über einen Hebelarm (10, 11) und ein um einer Vertikalachse B drehbares Drehlager (12, 13) dem Standfuss (2) zugeordnet. Mittels dieser bevorzugten Drehlager können die Oberschenkel der liegenden Person in den Aufnahmen über die Zuordnung jeweils eines optionalen Drehlagers am Standfuss zu den Oberschenkelaufnahmen über einen Hebelarm frei und unabhängig nach aussen gespreitzt werden und vermitteln der liegenden Person, dass das Becken ohne Auflage und vollkommen frei beweglich ist. Die Oberschenkelaufnahmen bieten in dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform somit pro Aufnahme jeweils zwei Freiheitsgrade in Längs- und Querrichtung, die miteinander frei kombinierbar sind.In an advantageous embodiment of the inventive reclining device for each thigh support (3, 4) the pivot bearing device (8, 9) via a lever arm (10, 11) and about a vertical axis B rotatable pivot bearing (12, 13) associated with the stand (2) , By means of this preferred pivot bearing, the thighs of the person lying in the recordings on the assignment of each optional pivot bearing on the stand to the thigh recordings on a lever arm can be spread freely and independently outwards and convey the person lying that the pelvis without support and completely free to move is. The thigh shots offer in this preferred embodiment thus per shot each two degrees of freedom in the longitudinal and transverse directions, which are freely combined with each other.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung sind die Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) dem Standfuss (2) gemeinsam über ein um eine Vertikalachse B drehbares Drehlager (20) zugeordnet, bzw. sind vorzugsweise die Drehlager (12, 13) der Hebelarme (10, 11) dem Standfuss (2) durch ein zusätzliches um eine Vertikalachse B drehbares Drehlager (20) zugeordnet. Dieses den Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) gemeinsam zugeordnete Drehlager (20) verbindet die Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) beweglich und orientiert diese relativ zueinander.In a preferred embodiment of the lying device according to the invention, the lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) are assigned to the stand (2) together via a pivot bearing (20) which is rotatable about a vertical axis B, or preferably the pivot bearings (12, 13) of the lever arms (10, 11) associated with the stand (2) by an additional about a vertical axis B rotatable pivot bearing (20). This the thigh recordings (3, 4) commonly assigned pivot bearing (20) connects the thigh recesses (3, 4) movable and oriented relative to each other.
Den Oberschenkelaufnahmen der erfindungsgemässen Liege sind vorzugsweise jeweils eine starre oder mehr bevorzugt eine verschwenkbare Unterschenkelaufnahme (16, 17) zugeordnet. Diese Unterschenkelaufnahmen (16, 17) sind vorzugsweise in mehrere bzw. alle Richtungen verschwenkbar, besonders bevorzugt aber je nach Schwenkrichtung mit unterschiedlichem Widerstand bzw. Kraftaufwand. Bevorzugt ist dabei, dass einer Bewegung in Vertikalrichtung (hoch/runter) mehr Widerstand als einer Bewegung in der Horizontalen (links/rechts) entgegensteht. Bei verschwenkbar zugeordneten Unterschenkelaufnahmen kann die liegende Person den Winkel zwischen Ober- und Unterschenkel variieren und so ihre Gleichgewichtslage insgesamt beeinflussen. Zudem fördern die Unterschenkelaufnahmen, insbesondere, wenn die Verschwenkbarkeit von Unter- und Oberschenkelaufnahme beschränkt ist, das Wohl- und Stabilitätsbefinden der liegenden Person ähnlich wie ein Loungechair, der die Beine aufliegen lässt. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist der Verschwenkwinkel der Schwenklagervorrichtung zwischen Ober- und Unterschenkelaufnahme nicht weniger als 90°, vorzugsweise nicht weniger als 100°, mehr bevorzugt nicht weniger als 110°. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind jeder Oberschenkelaufnahme (3, 4) jeweils eine Unterschenkelaufnahme (16, 17) fest oder über eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (18, 19) um eine Horizontalachse A verschwenkbar zugeordnet.The thigh admissions of the inventive couch are preferably assigned in each case a rigid or more preferably a pivotable lower leg receptacle (16, 17). These lower leg receptacles (16, 17) are preferably pivotable in several or all directions, but particularly preferably depending on the pivoting direction with different resistance or effort. It is preferred that a movement in the vertical direction (up / down) opposes more resistance than a movement in the horizontal (left / right). In pivotally associated lower leg recordings, the person lying can vary the angle between the upper and lower leg and thus affect their overall equilibrium position. In addition, the lower leg recordings, in particular when the pivotability of the lower and thigh receptacle is limited, promote the well-being and stability of the person lying in a manner similar to a lounge chair which allows the legs to rest. In an advantageous embodiment, the pivot angle of the pivot bearing device between upper and lower leg recording is not less than 90 °, preferably not less than 100 °, more preferably not less than 110 °. In a preferred embodiment, each thigh receptacle (3, 4) is assigned a lower leg receptacle (16, 17) fixed or pivotable about a horizontal axis A via a pivot bearing device (18, 19).
Die Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) können dem Standfuss (2) bzw. dessen Grundplatte (25) direkt über die jeweiligen Hebelarme (10, 11, 15) bzw. die Schwenklagervorrichtungen und Drehlager zugeordnet sein.The thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) can be assigned to the stand (2) or its base plate (25) directly via the respective lever arms (10, 11, 15) or the pivot bearing devices and pivot bearings be.
In einer alternativen und vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind die Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder der Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) dem Standfuss (2) über wenigstens eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) um eine Längsachse C verschwenkbar zugeordnet, vorzugsweise die Hebelarme (10, 11) und/oder der Hebelarm (15) dem Standfuss (2) über wenigstens eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) an der Grundplatte (25) um eine Längsachse C verschwenkbar zugeordnet. Mit anderen Worten, die liegende Person kann die Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) entlang der Längsachse C nach links und rechts verschwenken und so einen zusätzlichen Freiheitsgrad erlangen, der das Gleichgewichtsempfinden und den Muskeltonus positiv beeinflusst.In an alternative and advantageous embodiment, the lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) and / or the lever arm (15) of the back and head receptacle (5) to the stand (2) via at least one pivot bearing device (21) associated with a longitudinal axis C pivotable, preferably the lever arms (10, 11) and / or the lever arm (15) the stand (2) via at least one pivot bearing device (21) on the base plate (25) pivotally associated about a longitudinal axis C. In other words, the lying person can pivot the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) along the longitudinal axis C to the left and to the right, thus obtaining an additional degree of freedom which positively influences the sense of equilibrium and the muscle tone ,
Es ist jedoch bevorzugt, dass die Auslenkung der Schwenklagervorrichtung(en) (21) zu den Seiten hin begrenzt ist, um bei liegenden Personen mit beeinträchtigtem Gleichgewichtsempfinden ein seitliches Herausfallen zu vermeiden. Vorteilhaft ist die Begrenzung dergestalt, dass die wenigstens eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) um die Längsachse C wenigstens 2 bis 20, vorzugsweise 2 bis 15, mehr bevorzugt 5 bis 10 ° verschwenkbar ist.However, it is preferred that the deflection of the pivot bearing device (s) (21) be limited to the sides in order to avoid lateral falling out of lying persons with impaired sense of equilibrium. Advantageous is the Limiting such that the at least one pivot bearing device (21) is pivotable about the longitudinal axis C at least 2 to 20, preferably 2 to 15, more preferably 5 to 10 °.
Vorteilhaft weist die erfindungsgemässe Liegevorrichtung wenigstens eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) um die Längsachse C mit einer Rückstellkraft auf und/oder ist gebremst verschwenkbar.Advantageously, the lying device according to the invention has at least one pivot bearing device (21) about the longitudinal axis C with a restoring force and / or is braked pivotable.
Die wenigstens eine Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) um die Längsachse C kann beispielsweise (i) an der Verbindung bzw. den Verbindungen von Standfuss (2) zur Grundplatte (21), (ii) an der bzw. den Verbindung(en) der Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder der Verbindung des Hebelarms (15) der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) zur Grundplatte (25) bzw. zum Standfuss (2) angeordnet sein. Die Schwenklagervorrichtung (21) kann aber auch anderweitig an den Hebelarmen (10, 11, 15) und/oder an den Verbindungen dieser Hebelarme zu den Aufnahmen bzw. deren Schwenklager angeordnet sein. Eine weitere Alternative zur Seitwärtsauslenkung der Aufnahmen (3, 4 und/oder 5) im liegenden Zustand kann über torsionselastische Hebelarme (10, 11. 14) realisiert werden.The at least one pivot bearing device (21) about the longitudinal axis C can, for example, (i) at the connection or the connections of stand (2) to the base plate (21), (ii) at the or the connection (s) of the lever arms (10 , 11) of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the connection of the lever arm (15) of the back and head receptacle (5) to the base plate (25) or to the stand (2). However, the pivot bearing device (21) can also be arranged elsewhere on the lever arms (10, 11, 15) and / or on the connections of these lever arms to the receptacles or their pivot bearings. Another alternative to lateral deflection of the receptacles (3, 4 and / or 5) in the horizontal state can be realized via torsionally elastic lever arms (10, 11, 14).
Des Weiteren ist es bevorzugt, dass wenigstens eine der Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) der erfindungsgemässen Liege eine Schwenklagerfedervorrichtung ist, die mit einer Federsteifigkeit verschwenkbar ist. Die Federsteifigkeit der Schwenklagervorrichtung unterstützt insbesondere unsichere Anfänger und tonusschwache Personen, in die stabile Mittelposition zurückzufinden. Die Federsteifigkeit führt dazu, dass der Schwenklagerauslenkung eine Federkraft entgegen wirkt, die das Schwenklager in ihre Ruheposition zurückführt, wenn die liegende Person keine Kraft auf das Lager ausübt. Vorteilhaft nimmt die Federkraft mit dem Ausmass der Auslenkung zu. Die Federsteifigkeit unterstützt bei einer Auslenkung die Gegenbewegung und fördert so den Bewegungsdrang der liegenden Person. Auch wirkt die Federkraft einer übermässigen Bewegung der liegenden Person entgegen und erhöht deren Stabilitätsempfinden. Die Federsteifigkeit kann zudem das schwerelose, scheinbar schwimmende Empfinden der liegenden Person intensivieren und den Druck auf die Oberschenkel- bzw. die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme abfedern.Furthermore, it is preferred that at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) of the inventive couch is a pivot bearing spring device which is pivotable with a spring stiffness. The spring stiffness of the pivot bearing device supports in particular insecure beginners and low toned persons to find their way back to the stable middle position. The spring stiffness causes the pivot bearing deflection counteracts a spring force, which returns the pivot bearing to its rest position when the person lying no force on the bearing exerts. Advantageously, the spring force increases with the extent of the deflection. The spring stiffness supports in a deflection, the countermovement and thus promotes the urge to move of the person lying. Also, the spring force counteracts an excessive movement of the person lying and increases their sense of stability. The spring stiffness can also intensify the weightless, seemingly floating feeling of the person lying down and cushion the pressure on the thigh or the back and head receptacle.
In diesem Sinne ist es auch bevorzugt, dass wenigstens eines der Drehlager (12, 13, 20) der Liege ein gebremstes Drehlager ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist, wenn wenigstens eine der Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) und/oder wenigstens eines der drehbaren Drehlager (12, 13, 20) über eine Rückstellkraft verfügt. Bevorzugt ist auch, dass bei den gebremsten Drehlagern deren Bremswirkung mit der Auslenkung der Drehlager zunimmt. Auch dies wirkt einer übermässigen Bewegung der liegenden Person entgegen und erhöht deren Stabilitätsempfinden. Weiterhin bevorzugt ist, dass wenigstes eine der Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) eine gebremste Schwenklagervorrichtung ist.In this sense, it is also preferred that at least one of the pivot bearing (12, 13, 20) of the deck is a braked pivot bearing. It is particularly preferred if at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) and / or at least one of the rotatable pivot bearing (12, 13, 20) has a restoring force. It is also preferred that in the braked pivot bearings whose braking effect increases with the deflection of the pivot bearing. This also affects an excessive movement of the lying Person and increases their sense of stability. It is further preferred that at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14, 18, 19, 21) is a braked pivot bearing device.
Die Drehlager der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) sind dem Standfuss (2) vorzugsweise über eine gemeinsame Grundplatte (25) zugeordnet, so dass das Verschieben der Grundplatte (25) beide Drehlager (12, 13) und damit die Hebelarme (10, 11) sowie die zugeordneten Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) mit verschiebt.The pivot bearings of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) are assigned to the stand (2) preferably via a common base plate (25), so that the displacement of the base plate (25) both pivot bearings (12, 13) and thus the lever arms (10, 11) and the associated thigh recordings (3, 4) with shifts.
Der Winkel wenigstens einer der den Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) zugeordneten Hebelarme (10, 11, 15) zur Horizontalen liegt vorzugsweise zwischen 5 und 90, mehr bevorzugt 10 und 70, am meisten bevorzugt zwischen 15 und 60 °. Es ist zudem bevorzugt, dass der Winkel wenigstens einer der Hebelarme (10, 11, 15) zur Horizontalen verstellbar ist. Die Liegevorrichtung kann so an die Bedürfnisse und Körpermasse der liegenden Person angepasst werden. Je nach Länge und Winkel des Hebelarms verändert sich so die Position der Oberschenkel- bzw. der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme in der Höhe und/oder in dem Abstand zueinander.The angle of at least one of the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) associated lever arms (10, 11, 15) to the horizontal is preferably between 5 and 90, more preferably 10 and 70, most preferably between 15 and 60 °. It is also preferred that the angle of at least one of the lever arms (10, 11, 15) is adjustable to the horizontal. The reclining device can be adapted to the needs and body mass of the person lying. Depending on the length and angle of the lever arm so changes the position of the thigh or the back and head recording in height and / or in the distance from each other.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung ist der Schwenkwinkel wenigstens einer der Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 15) zu wenigstens einem der Hebelarme (10, 11, 14) begrenzbar, d.h. kann von der liegenden Person nicht überschritten werden. Diese Schwenkwinkelbegrenzung erleichtert den Ein- bzw. auch den Ausstieg aus der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung.In a preferred embodiment of the lying device according to the invention, the pivot angle of at least one of the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 15) can be limited to at least one of the lever arms (10, 11, 14), i. can not be exceeded by the person lying down. This swivel angle limitation facilitates entry and also exit from the couchette device according to the invention.
Naturgemäss haben unterschiedliche Personen unterschiedliche Körperlängen, eine unterschiedliche Längenverteilung von Rumpf und Extremitäten sowie unterschiedliche Gewichtsverteilungen an Rumpf und Extremitäten. Um diesen Unterschieden gerecht zu werden und bei allen Personentypen eine optimale Gleichgewichtsverteilung zwischen den Oberschenkelaufnahmen und der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme zu gewährleisten, kann bei der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung der Abstand der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) zur Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5, 6) am Standfuss (2) verstellbar ausgestaltet sein. Beispielsweise können die Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) auf einer Gleitschiene ((24) für die Rücken und Kopfaufnahme 5) verstellbar angeordnet sein und die jeweilige Position mit einem Sicherungsstift oder einer anderweitigen Arretierung feststellbar sein.By nature, different people have different body lengths, a different length distribution of the trunk and extremities and different weight distributions on the trunk and extremities. In order to meet these differences and to ensure an optimal balance of distribution between the thigh recordings and the back and head recording in all types of people, the distance of the thigh recesses (3, 4) for back and head recording (5, 6) on the Stand (2) be designed adjustable. For example, the thigh recesses (3, 4) and / or the back and head receptacle (5) on a slide ((24) for the back and head receptacle 5) be arranged adjustable and the respective position with a locking pin or other locking be detected ,
Bei weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung kann der beweglich gelagerten Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme wenigstens ein Seitenhalt für den Brustkorb und/oder unteren Rücken zugeordnet sein. Dieser Seitenhalt kann beispielsweise lediglich in der Form von Haftflächen auf der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme, die ein Abrutschen der liegenden Person verhindern, in der Form eines oder mehrerer Gurte und/oder in der Form von Seitenstützen wie beispielsweise bei Sitzen von Sportautos ausgestaltet sein. Ein solcher Seitenhalt hat insbesondere auch eine psychologische Auswirkung auf die liegende Person. Üblicherweise kann die liegende Person auf einer ausreichend breiten Rückenaufnahme das Gleichgewicht so halten, dass ein zusätzlicher Seitenhalt gar nicht notwendig ist. Ein stark ausgeformter Seitenhalt ist nur dann notwendig, wenn die liegende Person in ihrem Gleichgewicht beeinträchtigt ist, z.B. durch Fehlentwicklung, Krankheit, z.B. Schlaganfall, oder Verletzung. Bei gesunden Menschen mit normalem Gleichgewichtssinn reicht es meist, dass die Rückenaufnahme rutschfest ausgestaltet ist.In further preferred embodiments of the inventive reclining device, the movably mounted back and head receptacle can be assigned at least one lateral support for the thorax and / or lower back. This side support can, for example, only in the form of adhesive surfaces on the back and Head-receiving, which prevent slipping of the person lying in the form of one or more straps and / or in the form of side supports such as seats of sports cars to be configured. In particular, such a lateral support also has a psychological effect on the person lying down. Usually, the person lying on a sufficiently wide back recording hold the balance so that an additional side support is not necessary. A strongly formed lateral support is only necessary if the lying person is impaired in their equilibrium, eg by maldevelopment, illness, eg stroke, or injury. In healthy people with normal sense of balance, it is usually sufficient that the back recording is designed non-slip.
Die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme mit oder ohne Seitenhalt kann beispielsweise einteilig sein, oder zweiteilig mit getrennter Kopf- und Rückenaufnahme, oder dreiteilig (oder auch mehrteilig) mit getrennter Kopf-, oberer und unterer Rückenaufnahme ausgestaltet sein. Bei der zwei- oder mehrteiligen Anordnung sind die einzelnen Elemente der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme starr, flexibel und/oder beweglich miteinander verbunden. Beispielsweise können die Elemente der zwei- oder dreiteiligen Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme über einen, zwei oder mehrere Hebelarme zugeordnet sein. Dieser kann bzw. diese können starr sein oder eine Federsteifigkeit aufweisen. Alternativ oder zusätzlich zu dem Hebelarm können einzelne oder alle Elemente der zwei- oder dreiteiligen Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme mittels Schwenklagervorrichtungen um eine Horizontalachse A vertikal verschwenkbar sein, so dass auch die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme ein "Winden" des Rückgrats in diesem Bereich gestattet. Vorteilhaft gestattet die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme auch ein begrenztes seitliches Verdrehen der Aufnahme wenigstens im Rückenbereich, so dass die Seitwärtsdrehung um die Längsachse C der liegenden Person in beschränktem Umfang unterstützt wird, diese aber den Seitenhalt nicht verlieren kann. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung betrifft die vorliegende Erfindung Liegen mit beweglich gelagerter Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5, 6) ausgewählt aus einteiliger oder zweiteiliger Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme; dreiteiliger Kopf-, obere und untere Rückenaufnahme, wobei bei zwei- oder mehrteiliger Anordnung die einzelnen Elemente starr, flexibel und/oder beweglich miteinander verbunden sind und die Schwenklagervorrichtung (14) der Rückenaufnahme (5) oder der oberen Rückenaufnahme (5a) zugeordnet ist.The back and head recording with or without side support may be, for example, one piece, or in two parts with separate head and back recording, or be designed in three parts (or multi-part) with separate head, upper and lower back. In the two- or multi-part arrangement, the individual elements of the back and head receptacle are rigid, flexible and / or movable connected to each other. For example, the elements of the two- or three-piece back and head receptacle can be assigned via one, two or more lever arms. This may or may be rigid or have a spring stiffness. As an alternative or in addition to the lever arm, individual or all elements of the two-part or three-part back and head receptacle can be pivoted vertically about a horizontal axis A by means of pivot bearing devices, so that the back and head receptacle also permits "winding" of the backbone in this area. Advantageously, the back and head recording also allows a limited lateral rotation of the recording at least in the back area, so that the lateral rotation about the longitudinal axis C of the person lying is supported to a limited extent, but this can not lose the lateral support. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to couches with movably mounted back and head receptacle (5, 6) selected from one-piece or two-part back and head intake; three-part head, upper and lower back recording, with two or more parts arrangement, the individual elements are rigidly, flexibly and / or movably connected to each other and the pivot bearing device (14) of the back seat (5) or the upper back seat (5a) is associated.
Die Schwenklagervorrichtung, die die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) über den Hebelarm (15) dem Standfuss (2) zuordnet, ist vorteilhaft der Rückenaufnahme oder der unteren Rückenaufnahme (5a) zugeordnet, so dass der Schwerpunkt des Oberkörpers der liegenden Person auf der Schwenklagervorrichtung oder in geringem Abstand dazu ruht.The pivot bearing device, which assigns the back and head receptacle (5) via the lever arm (15) to the stand (2) is advantageously associated with the back seat or the lower back seat (5a), so that the center of gravity of the upper body of the person lying on the pivot bearing device or at a short distance.
Die untere Rückenaufnahme (5a) trägt bei bevorzugten Ausgestaltungen nur begrenzt zur Aufnahme der liegenden Person bei, und dient lediglich dem Komfortgefühl, dass auch der untere Rücken gestützt ist und nicht wie das Becken frei in der Schwebe hängt.The lower back (5a) contributes in preferred embodiments only limited to the inclusion of the person lying, and only serves the comfort of feeling that the lower back is supported and not like the pelvis hanging freely in the air.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen ist der verschwenkbare Winkel der Schwenklagervorrichtung (14), die der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5,6) zugeordnet ist, um die Horizontalachse A der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5, 6) beschränkt und die Schwenklagervorrichtung (14) weist vorzugsweise eine Rückstellkraft auf. Die Winkelbeschränkung und die bevorzugte Rückstellkraft erleichtern das Ein- und Aussteigen in die erfindungsgemässe Liegevorrichtung.In preferred embodiments, the pivotable angle of the pivot bearing device (14), which is the back and head receptacle (5.6) associated with the horizontal axis A of the back and head receptacle (5, 6) limited and the pivot bearing device (14) preferably a restoring force. The angle restriction and the preferred restoring force facilitate the entry and exit in the inventive reclining device.
Der Standfuss (2) der erfindungsgemässen Liegevorrichtung muss die Vorrichtung im Liegebetrieb sowie beim Ein- und Aussteigen der nutzenden Person sicher in Position halten. Er kann je nach Bedarf und ästhetischen Vorstellungen einteilig, beispielsweise als Block oder als Gestell mit Füssen, üblicherweise wenigstens vier davon, ausgestaltet sein. Alternativ kann der Standfuss lediglich eine sicher am Boden befestigte Schiene zur Aufnahme der Oberschenkelaufnahmen sowie der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme sein. Auch können die Oberschenkel- sowie die Kopf- und Rückenaufnahmen getrennt mit dem Boden verbunden werden. Dann ist der Standfuss mehrteilig. Der Standfuss muss lediglich die Funktion erfüllen, die Oberschenkel- sowie die Kopf- und Rückenaufnahmen so einander zuzuordnen, dass die Funktion der erfindungsgemässen Liege nacharbeitbar ist, d.h. dass die Aufnahmen räumlich so einander zugeordnet sind, dass eine Person in liegender Position erfindungsgemäss auf der Vorrichtung liegen kann. Letztendlich kann der Standfuss auch an der Decke oder einer Wand befestigt sein, so lange er eine zum Liegen stabile räumliche Zuordnung der Aufnahmen gewährleistet. Um das frei schwebende bzw. schwimmende Empfinden der liegenden Person zu unterstützen bzw. die Bewegungen der Person dämpfend abzufangen, können der Standfuss und/oder die Hebelarme dämpfend oder federnd gelagert sein, z.B. auf Gummi- oder Federlagern. Auch kann der Standfuss mittels Rollen oder als Tragarm verschiebbar ausgestaltet sein, wobei die Rollen im Liegebetrieb vorteilhaft entfernt, fixiert oder funktionslos vorliegen bzw. der Tragarm im Liegebetrieb vorteilhaft räumlich fixiert ist.The stand (2) of the reclining device according to the invention must securely hold the device in the lying mode as well as when entering and exiting the person using it in position. It can be designed in one piece, depending on requirements and aesthetic requirements, for example as a block or as a frame with feet, usually at least four of them. Alternatively, the stand can only be a securely fastened to the ground rail for receiving the thigh recordings and the back and head recording. Also, the thigh and the head and back shots can be connected separately to the ground. Then the stand is in several parts. The stand only has to fulfill the function of associating the thigh and the head and back seats with each other in such a way that the function of the couch according to the invention can be reworked, ie. that the recordings are spatially associated with each other so that a person in a lying position according to the invention can lie on the device. Finally, the stand can also be attached to the ceiling or a wall, as long as it ensures a stable allocation of the images to lie down. In order to support the free-floating or floating sensation of the person lying or to cushion the movements of the person in a cushioning manner, the stand and / or the lever arms can be supported in a damping or resilient manner, e.g. on rubber or spring bearings.

In der vorliegenden bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Beineinheit aus dem Verbindungsstück (26) mit dem um die Vertikalachse drehbaren Drehlager (20). Das drehbare Verbindungsstück (26) ist den Hebelarmen (10, 11) über vorzugsweise erste und zweite Drehlager (12, 13) zugeordnet, wobei die Hebelarme jeweils wiederum über erste und zweite Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9) den ersten und zweiten Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) zugeordnet sind. Die ersten und zweiten Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) sind vorzugsweise jeweils mit optionalen und bevorzugten ersten und zweiten Unterschenkelaufnahmen (17, 16) über Schwenklagervorrichtungen (18, 19) verbunden. Insbesondere im liegenden Zustand sind wenigstens die Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14) aus dem Gleichgewicht der liegenden Person heraus frei verschwenkbar. Aber auch die Hebelarme (10, 11) der Oberschenkelaufnahmen (3, 4) und/oder der Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kopfauflage (5) können biegelastisch, torsionselastisch oder beides sein und so die Bewegungsfreiheitsgrade der liegenden Person erweitern.In the presently preferred embodiment, the leg unit consists of the connecting piece (26) with the rotary bearing (20) which can be rotated about the vertical axis. The rotatable connecting piece (26) is assigned to the lever arms (10, 11) via preferably first and second rotary bearings (12, 13), wherein the lever arms in each case again via first and second pivot bearing devices (8, 9) the first and second thigh receptacles (3, 4) are assigned. The first and second thigh receptacles (3, 4) are preferably each provided with optional and preferred first and second lower leg receptacles (17, 16) via pivot bearing devices (18, 19). connected. In particular, in the lying state at least the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14) from the equilibrium of the person lying out freely. But also the lever arms (10, 11) of the thigh receptacles (3, 4) and / or the lever arm (15) of the back and head rest (5) can be elastic, torsionally elastic or both and thus expand the degrees of freedom of movement of the person lying.
In der vorliegenden bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Kopf- und Rückeneinheit (5) aus dem verschiebbaren und fixierbaren Schiebeschlitten (24), der diese Einheit der Grundplatte (25) zuordnet, sowie dem Schwenklager (22), das den Hebelarm (15) der Rücken- und Kophaufnahme (5) verschwenkbar zuordnet. Der Hebelarm (15) ist der Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) vorzugsweise über die Schwenklagervorrichtung (14) zugeordnet, die sich vorzugsweise am Schwerpunkt des Rückens der liegenden Person befindet. Die Position der Schwenklagervorrichtung (14) kann aber auch vor oder hinter dem Schwerpunkt des Rückens der liegenden Person eingestellt werden, so dass es zu einer gewollten Instabilität kommt, die die liegende Person dann durch die entsprechende Haltung kompensieren kann. Die Rücken- und Kopfaufnahme (5) kann einteilig aus einem Stück starr oder beweglich geformt sein, sie kann zweiteilig aus einem Rücken- (5) und einem Kopfstück (6) und einer Verbindung, beispielsweise in Form eines starren, biegeelastischen und/oder torsionselastischen Hebels (29) geformt sein, oder sie kann dreiteilig, d.h. zweiteilig mit einer zusätzlichen unteren Rückenaufnahme (5a) geformt sein, wobei die untere Rückenaufnahme der Rückenaufnahme (5) mittels eines starren, biegeelastischen und/oder torsionselastischen Hebels (30) zugeordnet sein kann. Vorteilhaft können dabei die Positionen der Kopf-, Rücken- und unteren Rückenaufnahmen (6, 5, 5a) im Abstand zueinander verstellt werden, so dass die Aufnahmen an die Anatomie der jeweiligen liegenden Person angepasst werden können. Vorteilhaft ist auch ein Seitenhalt (7) der Rückenaufnahme, der der liegenden Person mehr Sicherheit vermittelt und bei gleichgewichtsgestörten Personen ein Herausfallen vermeiden kann. Üblicherweise ist eine stabile Nutzung aber bereits mit einer rutschfesten Oberfläche der Aufnahmen (5, 5a, 3, 4) gewährleistet. Um die erfindungsgemässe Wirkung zu erzielen, sind lediglich die Schwenklagervorrichtungen (8, 9, 14) der Oberschenkel-, Rücken- und Kopfaufnahmen erforderlich. Das heisst, dass die Verbindung der Hebelarme (10, 11, 15) dieser Aufnahmen (3, 4, 5) mit der Grundplatte (25) auch starr sein kann und die liegende Person dennoch auf dem Rücken "schwimmt". Alle weiteren Freiheitsgrade durch zusätzliche Drehlager, beispielsweise Drehlager 12, 13, 20 und zusätzliche Schwenkvorrichtungen, beispielsweise 22, 27, 18, 19, 21 verstärken das Gefühl der Schwerelosigkeit. Der Fachmann erkennt daher, dass die Ausgestaltung der Hebelarme 10, 11 und 15 und deren Zuordnung zur Grundplatte (25) (oder sogar zu mehreren Grundplatten) und dem Standfuss (oder sogar mehreren Standfüssen) letztendlich in vielfältiger und sehr unterschiedlicher Weise erfolgen kann, solange das Gewicht der liegenden Person im Wesentlichen an Oberschenkel und Rücken aufgenommen wird und die Schwenklagervorrichtungen 8, 9, 14 im liegenden Zustand aus dem Gleichgewicht der Person heraus frei verschwenkbar sind.In the presently preferred embodiment, the head and back unit (5) consists of the sliding and fixable sliding carriage (24), which assigns this unit to the base plate (25), and the pivot bearing (22), the lever arm (15) of the back and Kophaufnahme (5) pivotally assigns. The lever arm (15) is associated with the back and head receptacle (5) preferably via the pivot bearing device (14), which is preferably located at the center of gravity of the person's back. However, the position of the pivot bearing device (14) can also be adjusted in front of or behind the center of gravity of the person's back, so that there is a desired instability, which can then compensate the person lying by the appropriate attitude. The back and head receptacle (5) may be integrally formed in one piece rigid or movable, it may in two parts of a back (5) and a head piece (6) and a compound, for example in the form of a rigid, flexible and / or torsionally elastic Lever (29) may be formed, or it may be in three parts, ie formed in two parts with an additional lower back intake (5a), the lower back of the back image (5) by means of a rigid, flexible and / or torsionally elastic lever (30) may be assigned , Advantageously, the positions of the head, back and lower back recordings (6, 5, 5a) can be adjusted at a distance from one another, so that the recordings can be adapted to the anatomy of the respective lying person. Also advantageous is a side support (7) of the back, which gives the person lying more security and can avoid falling out in the case of persons with balance problems. Usually, however, a stable use is already ensured with a non-slip surface of the receptacles (5, 5a, 3, 4). In order to achieve the effect of the invention, only the pivot bearing devices (8, 9, 14) of the thigh, back and head shots are required. This means that the connection of the lever arms (10, 11, 15) of these receptacles (3, 4, 5) with the base plate (25) can also be rigid and the person lying still "floats" on the back. All other degrees of freedom through additional pivot bearings, such as
Das Schwenklager 23 am Ende der Grundplatte ermöglicht die Aufrichtung der Grundplatte (25) zu den Füssen hin, so dass die liegende Person in eine sitzende oder stehende Position überführt wird. Die sitzende oder stehende Position im "aufgeklappten" Zustand erleichtert das Ein- und Aussteigen. Vorteilhaft wird der Übergang von Liege- und Sitz-/Stehposition mechanisch, beispielsweise durch Stellmotoren, unterstützt und stabilisiert.The pivot bearing 23 at the end of the base plate allows the erection of the base plate (25) towards the feet, so that the person lying is transferred to a sitting or standing position.
