Abstract

A wash water draining device for washing patients in bed has a mattress base, which is formed, for example, by inflatable chambers and is disposed underneath a waterproof bed mattress and slopes the bed mattress from the sides to the center and from the head end to the foot end. A waterproof mattress pad is placed over the mattress and a mattress compressing device is attached centrally to the foot end of the mattress such that a drainage socket of the waterproof mattress pad can be embedded into the resulting and stabilized depression of the bed mattress.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Das Waschen und Pflegen von bettlägerigen und häufig inkontinenten älteren Menschen erfordert sowohl in Heimen als auch bei der Pflege zu Hause ein hohes Maß an Zeit- und Kraftaufwand. Hier stellt eine Waschwasserabfließeinrichtung für herkömmliche Bettmatratzen eine wesentliche Erleichterung dar.Washing and caring for bedridden and often incontinent older people requires a lot of time and effort, both in homes and when caring for them at home. Here, a washing water drainage device for conventional bed mattresses is a significant relief.

Es ist schon bekannt, solche Vorrichtungen aus einstückigen, aufblasbaren Auflege-Formteilen herzustellen (EP 509 292 A1). Ferner ist es auch bekannt, verformbare Matratzen speziell mit einem Abfluß auszurüsten (Paten Abstracts of Japan C-943, May 22, 1992, Vol. 16/No.219).It is already known to produce such devices from one-piece, inflatable molded molded parts (EP 509 292 A1). Furthermore, it is also known to provide deformable mattresses with a drain (Patent Abstracts of Japan C-943, May 22, 1992, Vol. 16 / No.219).

Demgegenüber liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei herkömmlichen (d.h. mit speziell angefertigten) Matratzen mittels einer wasserundurchlässigen Auflage das Problem der Waschwasserabfließvorrichtung zu bewältigen.In contrast, the object of the present invention is to overcome the problem of the washing water drainage device in conventional (i.e. with specially made) mattresses by means of a waterproof cover.

Dieses Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die Vorrichtung besteht aus Matratzenunterlagen (MU), die unter die herkömmliche Bettmatratze so unterlegt werden, daß sich diese sowohl mit Gefälle zur Mittelachse hin (Fig. 2, 3 + 7) als auch zum Fußende hin ergibt (Fig. 1). Diese seitlichen Unterlagen können ein Gebilde ähnlich einer Luftmatratze (LM) sein, deren aufblasbare Kammern (K) so gestaltet sind, daß sie das vorgenannte Gefälle der Bettmatratze (BM) erzeugen (Fig. 1 + 2). Die Unterlagen können auch Schaumstoffteile (ST) sein, die so geformt sind, daß das vorgenannte Gefälle auf der herkömmlichen Bettmatratze (BM) erzeugt wird (Fig. 3).The device consists of mattress pads (MU), which are placed under the conventional bed mattress so that this results both with a slope towards the central axis (Fig. 2, 3 + 7) and towards the foot end (Fig. 1). This side support can be a structure similar to an air mattress (LM), the inflatable chambers (K) are designed so that they produce the aforementioned gradient of the bed mattress (BM) (Fig. 1 + 2). The underlays can also be foam parts (ST), which are shaped so that the aforementioned slope is generated on the conventional bed mattress (BM) (Fig. 3).

Eine weitere Unterlagenvariante stellt ein Lattenrost (LR) (Fig. 7 + 8) dar, den man beidseitig von Hand oder elektrisch so hochklappt und arretiert, daß die herkömmliche Bettmatratze (BM) Gefälle von den Seiten zur Mitte und vom Kopf- zum Fußteil hin hat. Das Hochklappen eines Lattenrostseitenteils (LS) bewirkt, daß mittels eines über eine verankerte Umlenkrolle (U) geführten Seilchens (SE) ein Hebel (H) bewegt wird, der den Lattenrostmittelteil (LM) im Kopfbereich (KO) anhebt (Fig. 9), um so auch im Matratzenmittelbereich ein zusätzliches stabilisiertes Gefälle zum Fußende hin zu schaffen.Another variant of the document is a slatted frame (LR) (Fig. 7 + 8), which is folded up and locked on both sides by hand or electrically so that the conventional bed mattress (BM) slopes from the sides to the center and from the head to the foot part Has. Folding up a slatted frame side part (LS) causes a lever (H) to be moved by means of a rope (SE) guided over an anchored deflection roller (U), which raises the slatted frame middle part (LM) in the head area (KO) (Fig. 9), in order to create an additional stabilized slope towards the foot end in the middle of the mattress area.

Die aufblasbaren Kammern (K) können ständig unter der Bettmatratze (BM) liegend verbleiben. Sobald die Luft über Ventile abgelassen wird, liegt diese Einrichtung ähnlich einem Matratzenschoner unter der Bettmatratze (BM); nur die Schlauchventile (SV) bleiben für die nächste Patientenwaschung zugänglich.The inflatable chambers (K) can always remain under the bed mattress (BM). As soon as the air is released through valves, this device is located under the bed mattress (BM) like a mattress protector; only the hose valves (SV) remain accessible for the next patient wash.

Die wahlweise verwendbaren Schaumstoffteile (ST) werden in der Regel nach der Patientenwaschung herausgenommen; sie können jedoch auch als Patientenherausrollsicherung angesehen werden und zumindest zeitweilig unter der Bettmatratze (BM) verbleiben. Das gleiche gilt für den hochgeklappten Lattenrost (LR).The optional foam parts (ST) are usually removed after washing the patient; However, they can also be viewed as a patient roll-out protection and at least temporarily remain under the bed mattress (BM). The same applies to the folded up slatted frame (LR).

Auf der Bettmatratze (BM) wird, ähnlich der Aufbringung eines neuen Bettlakens, eine wasserundurchlässige Matratzenauflage (MA) ausgebreitet. In diese Matratzenauflage (MA) ist mittig im Fußbereich ein Abflußstutzen (AS) integriert. Auf diesen Abflußstutzen (AS) wird ein hochflexibler Abflußschlauch - je nach Bettausführung gerade oder rechtwinklig abgeknickt - aufgesteckt (Fig. 6).A waterproof mattress topper (MA) is spread out on the bed mattress (BM), similar to the application of a new bed sheet. A drainage spigot (AS) is integrated in the center of this mattress pad (MA) in the foot area. A highly flexible drain hose - depending on the bed design, bent straight or at right angles - is attached to this drain connector (AS) (Fig. 6).

Um dem Abflußstutzen (AS) samt Schlauchanschlußstück ein stetiges Gefälle zur wasserundurchlässigen Matratzenauflage (MA) geben zu können, ist es erforderlich, in der herkömmlichen Bettmatratze (BM) eine Vertiefung (V) zu erzeugen. Diese Vertiefung (V) sollte schonend und wieder aufhebbar durchgeführt werden (Fig. 5). Hierzu eignet sich ein wichtiges Teil der Erfindung, die sogenannte Matratzenzusammenpreßvorrichtung (MPV). Dieser Anlagenteil ist so aufgebaut, daß ein abgewinkeltes großflächiges Untermatratzenblech (UB) ein kleinflächiges Matratzenzusammenpreßteil (MZ) aufnimmt und durch Drehbewegung eines vertikalgeführten Gewindestabes (GS) an sich heranzieht, so daß in der oberen Matratzenfläche am Fußende mittig eine Vertiefung (V) entsteht (Fig. 5). Die Betätigung des Gewindestabes (GS) geschieht durch eine aufsteckbare kleine Handkurbel.In order to be able to give the drainage connection (AS) together with the hose connector a steady slope to the waterproof mattress support (MA), it is necessary to create a depression (V) in the conventional bed mattress (BM). This deepening (V) should be carried out gently and again (Fig. 5). An important part of the invention is suitable for this purpose, the so-called mattress compression device (MPV). This part of the system is constructed in such a way that an angled, large-sized bottom mattress sheet (UB) receives a small-area mattress compression part (MZ) and pulls it up by rotating a vertically guided threaded rod (GS), so that a recess (V) is created in the center of the upper mattress surface at the foot end ( Fig. 5). The threaded rod (GS) is actuated by an attachable small hand crank.

Diese Matratzenzusammenpreßvorrichtung (MPV) kann, wenn häufige Waschungen notwendig sind, am Fußende der Bettmatratze (BM) verbleiben.This mattress compression device (MPV) can remain at the foot end of the bed mattress (BM) if frequent washes are necessary.
