Description

Title of the invention: Multifunctional technological wall-mounted grab bar

[0001] The present invention aims to provide several advantages to the disabled person or person with reduced mobility [Fig.l] [Fig.2]

[0002] It serves as a support point to maintain or stabilize oneself if necessary. [Fig.3]

[0003] #It allows you to raise the electrical outlet to avoid having to bend down or lean. [Fig.4]

[0004] It provides night lighting to make travel safer and prevent falls. [Fig.5]

[0005] It includes a health emergency alert system. [Fig.6]

[0006] The shape of the bar is refined with a contemporary design, assembled in a single object that allows it to be installed immediately without effort by plugging it into a wall outlet. Its curvature on two different levels means that it is immediately held by pressure against the wall, which gives it sufficient strength to grip it and be able to hold itself. Also, because it is pluggable, it is transportable and movable according to the need. In order for it to meet the ERP* standard, it will be necessary, in the case of permanent maintenance, to fix it to the wall using the two anchors provided for this purpose.

[0007] The bar is based on its safe use for the person who, thanks to the on-board technology, combines the 3 safety axes mentioned above, including an alert, by a push button connected to an emergency call center. (Optional)

[0008] The bar is based on the perception it gives when the person with reduced mobility looks at it and uses it. It masks the standard of the conventional grab bar, it softens the ERP* codes. In this way, it responds to the logic of residential accommodation in institutions, that of reducing, or even erasing the signs and objects that remind us that we are in a medical establishment.

[0009] The attached drawings schematically show the different views of the object as well as the 2 versions of the plug-in support bar:

[0010] [Fig.l] represents the profile view of the bar in its bottom-pluggable version

[0011] [Fig.2] shows the profile view of the bar in its top-pluggable version

[0012] [Fig.3] represents a schematic front view in black.

[0013] [Fig.4] represents a front view with the dimensions.

[0014] [Fig.5] represents a schematic front view of the support bar with the detail of the technological equipment which will be embedded there, for the version which can be plugged in from below

[0015] [Fig.6] represents a schematic front view of the support bar with the detail of the technological equipment which will be embedded there, for the version which can be plugged in from the top
