Description:
Multipurpose ergonomic positioning facilitator

Field of the invention

The invention is related to the multipurpose ergonomic positioning facilitator

Previous state of the art

The products used previously have met more or less purposefully only one of the functions of the technical solution presented, however, without any possibihty to be reset in an optimum position in ergonomic terms. An example can be the table used for eating, sitting in bed, or the handle used for reading when sitting on the ground or on a chair at the table. In both cases, even a healthy man can not get relieved and an ill man or a disabled one can often even use them.

The nature of the invention

The invention suggested represents an innovation removing the above mentioned disadvantages of the previously manufactured alone standing devices and, moreover, connecting these devices into one.

The substance of the multipurpose ergonomic positioning facilitator is created by consisting of a board fixed between the left and right legs being connected, although in a collapsible way, by means of a span bar and a left hand and a right hand side spht pins, whereas

the legs are provided with grooves, joints and holes, working board is provided with a latch and shafts, the span bar is provided by holes matching with the latches of wedge-like form. ψ

The solution presented enables to reset the working board by moving the legs in joints and grooves in various positions according to body's requirements or to limita-

tions of individual user according to his/her height, according to the nature of their temporary or permanent health condition, but also according to the degree of his/her fatigue.

The design solution considers the given features as well. Its user can sit, lay or rest in any interposition. The working board can be positioned in various slopes, using movable latches matching with grooves on legs, as well as leaning on span bar and by means of moving legs as described above. Tilted positions enable comfortable reading, writing or drawing, while the horizontal position meets the function of a table allowing to eat, to play or to work.

The span bar and the wedge-shaped spht pins make possible to colas it or to pull it out. The holes in the span bar serve for pencils and pens for writing and drawing to be stored.

Brief description of the drawings

The proposed technical solution is obvious from Figure 1 illustrating parts of the multipurpose ergonomic positioning facilitator and mutual relations between them. Figure 2 shows horizontal position of the working board, Figure 3 shows tilted setting of the working board, while Figure 4, 4a, 4b other variants.

Detailed description

The device according to Figure 1 consists of the left leg 1, right leg 2, the work¬ ing board 3, the span bar 4, the left-hand spht pin 5 and the right-hand spht pin 6. Both the legs can be reset moving in the groove 7, using the joints 8. Both the legs have the holes 9 into which the span bar 4 is inserted. Both the legs have also holes H) into which the shafts H. are inserted which are on the sides of the working board 3. Grooves 12 are also on both legs into which moving latches 13 fit in, located on the working board 3. There are holes 14 on the span bar 4, into which the spht pins 5 and 6 are inserted, as well as openings 15 into which pencils and pens for writing and drawing can be inserted. Mutual relation of the parts is indicated by arrows.

Industrial application

The multipurpose ergonomic positioning facilitator can be used anywhere a man wishes or has to take a rest at work or to work during taking a rest. It can also be both a sound and active man as well as a man being temporarily or permanently disabled. It can be used e. g. in households and homes for junior or senior people, in hospitals, spa resorts, sanatoriums etc., homes for disabled and long-term ill people, in hotels, cot¬ tages and other facilities for recreation and recondition etc.

It can be manufactured in sizes according to individual requirements, in small- as well as large-scale series. Unlike the majority of the previously produced devices of furniture type, it can be simply disassembled (and then storing or moving them) and assembled (and using them).
