THERMOTHERAPY DEVICE

摘要

A thermotherapy device (incubator) includes a lying surface bordered by side walls with a side wall part suspended via a hinge allowing downward pivoting with a lock for an upright closed position. The locking mechanism has a closing projection that can enter an open side receptacle, with guide curve, to lock the side wall part in the upright closed position on a stationary structure of the heat therapy device. The closing projection or the receptacle is suspended so as to be linearly movable in the direction of connection lines thereof to the pivot axis of the hinge, such that the closing projection can be moved to a position in front of the open side of the receptacle. A preloading apparatus ensures that the closing projection and the receptacle are pressed together in form-closed engagement when the closing projection and the open side of the receptacle are oriented toward each other.

主权项

1. A thermotherapy device comprising:
a reclining surface; side walls, bordering the reclining surface, the reclining surface for receiving a newborn baby, wherein the sidewalls comprise at least one side wall part; a hinge, the at least one side wall part being is suspended with the hinge for pivoting the at least one side wall part downward about a pivot axis; and a releasable locking mechanism for locking the side wall part in an upright closed position, said locking mechanism comprising a closing projection, a complementarily shaped receptacle, which is open on one side, and a guide curve wherein when the closed position of the side wall part is reached the closing projection can enter the receptacle through the open side of the receptacle for positive-locking meshing in order to lock the side wall part in the upright closed position on a stationary structure of the thermotherapy device, one of the closing projection and the receptacle is suspended linearly movably in a direction of the pivot axis of the hinge into a position in front of the open side of the receptacle, and a prestressing device pressing, with the closing projection and the open side of the receptacle oriented towards one another, the closing projection and the receptacle together into a positive-locking meshing with one another.
