Description
104~893 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and improved construction of surgical chair for a doctor or treating physician.
The term "doctor" is used herein in its broader sense as relating to individuals with various type of medical training.
A rotatable chair for a doctor has been disclosed in German patent publication 1900,949 wherein a ring-shaped foot-operated switching plate is arranged above a base or foot frame formed of individual cantilever or overhang members. The switch-ing plate, through the agency of a switching plunger and a til-table lever of a valve, activates a gas spring or cushion and thus i renders possible infinite elevational adjustment of the seat. In order to ensure for such elevational adjustment of the seat, de-pending upon the degree of loading or unloading thereof, during -~ treatment by the physician, it is necessary with this rotatable chair that the doctor lift his body weight with one foot and . with his other foot operate the switching plate. It will be ; evident that such requires undesired shifting of the weight of the body as well as one-sided loading of the body, which does not guarantee either the necessary secure and steady standing of the rotatable chair upon the floor or the required firm standing , of the doctor, and thus, restricts to an unwarranted extent the I activity of the treating physician.

104~893 A combined surgical chair having a pivotable work chair for the treating physician is taught in German patent publi-cation 1,110,818 wherein there is provided a pivotable arm having a hoIding device for a foot pedal switch for regulating, for instan-ce, a drilling machine used by a dentist at the neighborhood of the surgical chair. The pivotable arm, for instance of resilient con-struction, adjustable to a certain braking action, and arranged with the foot rest flat above the floor is designed such that when it is loaded by the weight of the foot of the doctor the load is taken up by the floor, and hence, when necessary, the work chair or seat can be rocked without difficulty out of the working re-gion and the foot pedal switch remains as previously in its prede-termined position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
, Starting with the aforementioned state-of-the-art it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a stable .
surgical chair wherein, while maintaining contact with the floor :
~' with both feet and without any assistance from the hands of the operator, there is possible a continuous elevational adjustment of a seat secured to a support column by means of a pedal actuated by the heel of one foot, and further, a support column which teles-copically engages over a stand tube is guided centrally and axially .
displacable at the stand tube without canting and at the same time ;~
s J
'' .
.~. ~ ,.. . . . .. . .
104~893 is positively secured against rotation to the stand tube, and wherein the foot or base frame consisting of a number of cant-ilevers or overhang arms and secured to the stand tube has a relatively small reach or overhang.
Still a further significant object of the present in-vention aims at the provision of a new and improved construc-tion of surgical chair which is relatively simple in construc-tion and design, economical to manufacture, extremely reliable in operation, and allows for easy elevational adjustment of the seat by the user.
.' .
Now in order to implement these and still further ob-jeets of the invention, the surgical chair for a treating physi-eian or the like as contemplated by the invention comprises a seat infinitely adjustable in elevation and seeured to a support eolvmn. A stand tube is arranged within the support column and a foot or base frame provided with rollers is secured to the stand tube. A lifting device is arranged within the stand tube and is operatively eonnected with the support column and ean be unloeked or activated by means of a lever system, so that the seat, depending upon loading thereof, is elevationally ad-justable. Aeeording to important aspects of the invention the surgical chair is manifested by the following combination of features:
104~893 (a) a foot pedal is arranged symmetrically between two cantilevers or overhang members of the ~ase frame with adjustable elevational spacing from the floor and has its upper edge at most four centimeters above the floor, the foot pedal is operatively connected by a lever with an angle lever pivotably mounted at the stand tube and acting upon a plunger of the lifting device; ..
(b) at least three guide grooves are provided at the support column and extend substantially parallel to the central axis thereof and are uniformly distri- -buted about its inner periphery; and (c) at least two superimposed mutually spaced :-.
rollers or roller means are arranged at the outer peri-phery of the stand tube in operative association with the guide grooves provided at the support column.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED_EMBODIMENTS
.~ :
Describing now the drawings, there is shown in Figu-. re 1, in longitudinal sectional view, an exemplary embodiment ~ of a surgical chair having an infinitely elevationally adjusta- : .
ble seat 1, a support column 3, a stand or vertical tube 4 arranged within the support column 3 and at which there is se- :-cured the base or floor frame 6, and a lifting device 5 arranged within the stand tube or pipe 4.
~;
I At the lower side the lifting device 5, which is .~ equipped at such side with a plunger 21, bears upon a disc or ~ 20 plate 13 having a bore 25. This plate 13 is arranged in the ' .~ :

~, .
,~ , .
/, j , . . . .. . . .
~041893 stand tube 4 and is retained by a securing ring 22 engaging about the shoulder of the lifting device 5 guided through the bore 25. In order to facilitate assembly of the securing ring 22 an opening 12 is provided at a suitable location in the wall of the stand tube or pipe 4. At the opposite upper side the lifting device 5 is provided with a piston rod 20 extending with its stepped end 20a through a suitably formed bore 24 of a disc or plate 19 arranged in the support column 3. The pis-ton rod 20 is held by means of a securing ring 23 engaging about such stepped end 20a of the piston rod 20.
: At the outer periphery of the stand tube 4 there are rotatably mounted in any suitable and therefore not par-` ticularly illustrated manner at least three uniformly distri-buted rollers 18 and in spaced relation therefrom three further .
rollers 16 at the respective holder rings 17 and 15 attached to the stand tube 4. ~, - Guide grooves 14 are provided for the rollers 16, 18.
These guide grooves 14 are arranged in a distributed manner ana-logous to the distribution of the rollers 16, 18 and extend pa-rallel to the central axis of the support column and are uni-formly arranged at the inner periphery of the support column 3. --. Further such guide grooves 14 extend from the lower edg~ of the.s support column 3 up to approximately the plate or disc 19. In ~ this way the seat 1 having a seat plate 2 and secured by not , .
~.041893 particularly illustrated means e.g. fastening bolts or the like, at the support column 3 provided with the spaced brackets 34, during up and down movement, is optimumly guided and at the same time secured against rotation. In Figure 1 the rollers 16, 18 with the associated grooves 14 have been illustrated in an offset arrangement.
Figure 3 is a sectional plan view and illustrates the support column 3 with the grooves 14, the stand or vertical tube 4 with the holder ring 17, the diameter of which is some-what smaller than the inner diameter of the support column 3, the rollers or rolls 18 guided in the grooves 14, and the piston rod 20 of the lifting device 5.
, The base or floor frame 6 attached to the stand tube 4, in the illustrated embodiment, consists of four individual cantilevers or overhang arms 27 equipped with the travelling rol-lers or casters 7. These arms 27 have a relatively small over-:. hang, and additionally, can be provided with balance or compen-, sation weights 28 arranged in the overhang arms in order to impart still greater stability to the surgical chair. Above the overhang arms 27 there is provided at an appropriate ele-,~ vation a foot rest 26 bearing upon the overhang arms, and which .~ preferably iB constructed and arranged in the manner shown in ~ Figure 2. .-.j .
~, ,'' An angle lever 10 is mounted at a bolt 32 serving as an axis of rotation or pivot point. The angle lever 10 is symmetrically arranged between two cantilevers or overhang arms 27 at the lower end of the stand tube 4 between two bea-ring plates or members 31, for instance formed of sheet metal, secured to the stand tube 4. One end of the angle lever 10 extends through a slot 11 provided in the stand tube 4 up to the plunger 21 of the lifting device 5 and is operatively connected with i.è. contacts such plunger. At the other end of the angle :
lever 10 there is secured at the lower portion thereof a foot lever 9 having a foot pedal 8. - --. . .
The foot lever 9 together with its foot pedal 8 se-cured by the pin 30 or the like at the angle lever 10 can be :
variably adjusted in elevation with respect to the floor and i also in spaced relation from the stand tube 4 due to the matchedholes 29 and 33 provided at the foot lever 9 and the angle lever , 10 and by selectively shifting the pin 30. The height of the .
upper edge of the foot pedal 8 from the floor at most amounts to 4 centimeters, but in any event is advantageously selected to ' 20 be only so large that there is ensured that there can be carriedout by the plunger 21 the stroke required for actuation of a not particularly illustrated control valve arranged in the lifting device 5.
The lifting device 6 is preferably in the form of a conventlonal gas sprlng or cushion having a control valve and a ~ _ 9 _ ,, , pre-biased filling medium which, upon actuation of the valve, with the seat not loaded, infinitely elevationally displaces the same and when the seat is loaded moves down, and throughout the range of the stroke or displacement of the seat in each desired position of the seat, the gas spring and thus the seat .
can be blocked.
According to a not particularly illustrated variant embodiment of the invention the possibility exists of providing a control device at the surgical chair which indicates the pre~-sure of the pre-biased filling medium in the gas spring and at the same time indicates the functional reliability of the sur-gical chair.
. .
The inventive surgical chair fulfills the require-ments of random accommodation of the seat height to the momen-tary conditions with greatest operational reliability, and in-tentionally there has not been provided rotatability of the ~ seat, in order to be able to undertake positioning of the foot-t~ actuation pedal by means of the seat. Hence, the surgical chair can be delivered to the operator standing near the operating table and such can adjust the required seat height by either randomly using the left or right heel raised from the ankle joint, and without loosing his balance.
