Description

The invention relates to a movable bedside table according to the preamble of claim 1 and the arrangement of a bedside table to a hospital or nursing bed.

A movable bedside table according to the type is from the DE 198 04 668 C1 known.

The arrangement of a bedside table on a provided with wheels hospital or nursing bed is in the DE 44 47 082 C1 addressed. Here, the bedside table is cuboid and square in cross section. Compared to a lower-side chassis, which is equipped with rollers, the body of the bedside table extends in its length perpendicular, ie, the chassis corresponds in its outline dimensions about the cross-sectional dimension of the body, the edge length of the cross section of the body is determined by the width of the bed table which is connected to the carcass. This results in a relatively large cross-sectional area and thus a correspondingly large storage space of the bedside table, which, however, is no longer necessary due to the decreasing length of stay of patients in the hospital.

Demands are therefore made to adapt bedside tables to the actual need for storage space.

Regardless of the known bedside tables due to their relatively large cross-sectional dimensions do not meet the requirements for a simple and easy handling, especially if such a bedside table, as in the mentioned DE 44 47 082 C1 revealed to be moved with the hospital bed.

For this purpose, the hospital bed is provided with an extension of the bed frame through which in functional position, ie, for receiving the bedside table, a niche is formed, is inserted into the side of the hospital bed the bedside table, which is raised during insertion.

However, the extension of the hospital bed in the joint transport of the bedside table and the hospital bed hinders the handling, especially in the process in many ways.

For example, maneuvering the bedside / bedside unit is extremely cumbersome due to the length of the bed. The placement of this unit, for example in an elevator is problematic, if this is even possible.

In many cases, therefore, the bedside table is not transported with the hospital bed, but separately, which makes the handling equally difficult if the hospital bed is to be moved together with an associated bedside table, especially if bedridden patients are moved to the hospital bed.

Next is from the DE 36 25 126 C2 a movable bedside table known, on the chassis of a vertically aligned, telescopically height-adjustable support is attached, the body of this bedside table is held on the support. However, the bed table is rigidly connected to the carrier or the body, that is not, according to the genus, pivoted, so that a simultaneous transport of bedside and bedside table is not practical.

The DE 70 05 950 U shows and describes a bedside table, which is held for common transport with the hospital bed side of the bedside, but the bed table practically remains in a stretched, horizontal position. Due to the extraordinary by the lateral attachment of the bedside table at the bedside width of the unit to be transported, this transport is extremely difficult.

The invention has the object of providing a bedside table of the generic type and the arrangement of a bedside table on a hospital or nursing home so that with little design and manufacturing effort improved handling of the bedside table or combination bedside / bedside table is possible.

This object is achieved by a bedside table with the features of claim 1.

By the invention, a bedside table is now provided, the space requirement is significantly reduced over that of the prior art.

Preferably, the width of the narrow sides corresponds to about half the width of the bed table. The width of the first broad side of the body corresponds, as before, about the width of the bed table.

The now reduced storage space, as has been shown, sufficient to accommodate the patient utensils that a patient usually needs for the residence time.

Of the first broad side of the body associated clear projection of the chassis provides adequate support when the bed table is pivoted in a horizontal position of use and is charged, for example by food and / or drinks or as a work surface.

Preferably, the chassis is formed with its respect to the first broad side of the body projecting portion as an outgoing from the body sloping slope, whereby when the bed table is pivoted telescoping a plurality of bedside tables is possible, so that their accommodation is extremely space-saving.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the bed table is articulated to a top floor of the body, said top floor protruding from the first broad side of the body and is formed in cross-section so that it forms a suspension by means of the bedside table on a cross member of a front side of the head Hospital bed can be attached. For this purpose, the projecting Kragbereich the topsoil is approximately angularly formed in cross-section with a clear dimension such that a relatively accurately fitting hooking on the cross member of the hospital bed is possible.

In the swung-open position of the bed table this is held by a pivoting console, which hinged on the one hand articulated on the underside of the bed table and on the other hand also hinged to the support or the first broad side of the body. In the raised position of the bed table is connected by a releasable locking mechanism locked with the console.

In the bed table, a laterally removable support plate is integrated, which is pivoted in pulled-out pivot position in an oblique position.

According to the invention, the body is held on the height-adjustable part of the carrier, which is telescopically formed and is held braked in any extended position, preferably by means of a gas spring, the locking function can be canceled by a manually operable control element.

In the arrangement of the bedside table to a hospital bed, the lying surface is preferably adjustable in height, the bedside table is pushed with the protruding portion of the chassis from one end under the hospital bed, in which case the formed suspension of the top is brought into line with the associated cross member of the head of the hospital bed ,

When lifting the lying surface of the cross member is placed in the suspension and the bedside table raised so far that the rollers of his chassis are positioned bottomless. The bedside table is therefore quasi carried along in a subsequent movement of this unit without touching the footprint, so that the hospital bed can be easily moved over sleepers or the like.

In addition, the entire unit is washable in a car wash, which was previously possible, especially for reasons of space, only under difficult conditions.

Benefits result equally from the overall shortened length of the unit nightstand / hospital bed, which facilitates both maneuvering as well as the transport in an elevator, as this is usually sufficient to accommodate the entire unit can.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the body consists of two separate halves which are separated in the longitudinal direction of the broad sides and which are connected to one another in a positive, force and / or material fit manner.

Each half can be made in one piece from plastic, which corresponds insofar the sanitary requirements in a special way, as the body is virtually seamless and gap-free.

The storage space bounded by the body with upper and lower floor can consist of several individual rooms, which are preferably two-sided, i. towards the narrow sides of the body are open. Also conceivable, at least one of the storage spaces formed may be formed by at least one drawer, which is also operable on both sides.

By arranging the bedside table at the bedside, the unit thus formed can be moved together with the patient resting in the bedside to a change of location, with the items stored in the bedside utensils of the patient remain in place, so be carried.

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

An embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 8 and 9

the arrangement of a bedside table at a hospital bed, each in different positions of the bedside table.

In the FIGS. 1 to 9 each movable bedside tables are recognizable, with a held on a chassis 9, cuboid, in its length perpendicular to the chassis 9 extending body 1, the opposite narrow sides 2 for a plurality of storage spaces 6 has. A portion of the storage space 6 is open throughout and allows a two-sided engagement. Another storage space 6 may be formed as a drawer 7, which is pulled out on both sides.

Angled to the narrow sides 2, the body 1 is bounded by two opposing broad sides, wherein a first broad side 3 is associated with a pivotable from a vertical to a horizontal position bed table 8, by means of hinge plates 18 on a first broad side 3 superior upper bottom 4 of the body 1 is articulated.

In the FIG. 1 the bed table 8 is swung in a vertical position shown recognizable, in which it rests against the first broad side 3 or at a small distance parallel thereto.

In the FIG. 2 the bed table 8 is shown pivoted in a horizontal position of use, in which it is supported by a bracket 14 which is held on the body 1, said console 14 longitudinally displaceable on the underside of the bed table 8 on the one hand and on the other hand hinged to the broad side 3 of the Body 1 is held. In this position, the console 14 and the bed table 8 are releasably locked together.

The equipped in the example with four rollers 10 chassis 9 protrudes, according to the invention, relative to the body 1 on the bed table 8 associated page addition, for this purpose, the chassis 9 has an outgoing from the first broad side 3 bridge 11, at the body of the first opposite end a pair of rollers is arranged. The other pair of rollers is arranged in the region of the lower floor 5 on the opposite side of the first broad side 3.

The length of the bridge 11 is greater than the width of the narrow sides 2, as in particular in the FIG. 7 can be seen.

The largest outside distance between the ends of the bridge 11 arranged rollers 10 to each other is smaller than the clear distance of the opposite rollers 10 to each other. Instead of two rollers 10 arranged at the free end of the bridge 11, only one roller can be provided so that a three-wheeled chassis 9 results.

Starting from the body 1, the bridge 11 slopes down to the end rollers 10 as an inclined plane, so that the distance of the body 1 to a footprint, such as a floor 26 (FIG. FIG. 9 ) is greater than the distance of the bridge 11 in the region of the end rollers 10th

As a result, as well as by the smaller distance of the end connected to the bridge 11 rollers 10 to each other than the body side rollers 10 to each other, the possibility is created to push a plurality of bedside tables into each other, as shown in the FIG. 7 is shown. In this case, the chassis 9 of a bedside table is pushed in the area of its bridge 11 under the chassis 9 of an adjacent bedside table until both bedside tables touch, in the example in the region of a protruding part of the top 4.

This area is angular in cross-section and forms a downwardly open suspension 16.

Incidentally, the body 1 is attached to the height-adjustable part of a carrier 13, which is connected vertically aligned to the chassis 9 and which is telescopically adjustable in height. For locking in a displacement position of the carrier 13 is provided with a brake, such as a gas spring, which is releasable by means of arranged in a bow-shaped handle 12 release elements 15 from its braking position.

In the FIG. 3 is the bedside table in lowered position of the body 1 recognizable, while the FIG. 4 an upper end position of the body 1 reproduces, in which the carrier 13 is fully extended, the bed table 8 is pivoted in each case in a horizontal position of use.

As in particular in the FIG. 5 can be seen very clearly, is on the bed table 8 a support plate 17 is limited pivotally supported, wherein the support plate 17 is aligned obliquely in the illustrated position and so for example forms a bookend. When not in use, the support plate 17 is moved into or under the bed table 8 and then closes flush with the associated edge of the bed table 8.

Advantageously, the body 1 consists of two equal halves, which lie together to form a tight joint 19 and are firmly connected to each other.

The arrangement of the new night table at a movable bedside is in the FIGS. 8 and 9 shown. In this case, the hospital bed on a revolving bed frame 21, are mounted on the rollers 22, which stand up on the footprint 26.

About a hinged to the bed frame 21 scissors 23 is a lying surface 20 height adjustable, which is bounded on both sides by a bed head 24. On the upper side, the respective bed head 24 on a cross member 25 which rests in appended bedside table in the suspension 16. Preferably, the clear width of the suspension 16 corresponds approximately to the associated outer dimension of the transverse spar 25.

In the FIG. 8 is shown a position in which the bedside table with its chassis 9 rests on the footprint 26, but is already attached to the cross member 25, whereby a common mobility of bedside and bedside table is possible.

After lifting the lying surface 20 of the bedside table is also raised to a position in which the chassis 9 in the region of the bridge 11 comes to rest on the bed frame 21, so that the rollers 10 are spaced from the footprint 26. The unit bedside / bedside table can be moved without obstruction by the rollers 10 of the chassis 9.
