CONTRIVANCE FOR SUBMERGING A PATIENT TO POOL

摘要

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: vertical frame is connected by hinges by means of two connecting rods 8 and 9 with post 4, which is attached to assembly 26 of rotatable table 25 mounted onto the edge of pool 24. Rotatable platform 1 for patient is mounted on hinges onto frame 3 for rotation relatively frame 3 by means of thrust 5. Lower end of thrust 5 is connected with platform by hinges; the top end is connected with connecting rod 8. Hinge 14 which connects thrust 5 with connecting rod 8 is mounted for displacement relatively this connecting rod onto stroke; at the end and start points of which connecting rod 8 is connected with platform 1 at the same initial position. Patient is shifted off the carriage to platform 1 which is put into initial position. Hinge 14 is set preliminary into one of end positions (B or E) onto connecting rod 8 by means of handle 23. Platform 1 is shifted to surface of water in the pool by turning assembly 26, and connecting rod 8 is turned by means of hydraulic cylinder 7. In this case platform 1 and frame 3 will lower down and patient submerges into water. Angle of inclination of platform 1 when it is submerging depends on position into which thrust 5 is disposed relatively connecting rod 8; this position may be set due to shifting connecting rod 14 to one of described positions (B or E). Hinge 14 is shifted relatively connecting rod 8 by handle 23 through gimbal, gear and screw drives. EFFECT: improved efficiency; improved safety; reliability. 5 dwg
