2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a care receiver is transferred from a bed to a wheelchair or a portable toilet, the buttocks are shifted on the mattress so as to face the bottom side, and the bottom is moved over the side frame. At the side, the user has to wait while sitting on the floor with his / her feet on the floor, and transfer to the wheelchair or portable toilet by himself or transfer with the help of a caregiver.

[0003]

However, there is a slight gap between the bottom side and the side frame, and the care receiver may fall into the gap by mistake when moving. The present invention has been proposed in order to overcome such inconveniences, and a bed or the like which can be easily put on and off by being supported via mounting means without any gap on the bottom side of the bed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a detachable transfer assisting means.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, in the first aspect, a base portion detachably mounted on a side surface of a bed or the like, and the base portion is mounted on the base portion from a substantially horizontal direction. A main body panel rotatably connected in a vertical range, and a locking means for holding the main body panel at least in an upright position with respect to a base portion, and when the main body panel falls down in a substantially horizontal direction. A detachable transfer assisting means for a bed or the like having a dimension set to be in contact with the mattress side surface on the bottom and to have substantially the same height as the mattress is disclosed. Further, in the present invention, in claim 2, the base has a leg buried in the accessory mounting hole of the side frame, and a base frame to which the leg is attached, and the base frame and the rotation regulating mechanism are interposed. The main body panels are connected to each other, and the rotation restricting mechanism moves the connecting arm having one end rotatably attached to the base frame side, and the other end of the connecting arm to a holding frame attached to the main body panel. Disclosed is a detachable transfer assisting means in a bed or the like having a guide member connected so as to be capable of being connected. Further, in the present invention, in claim 3, the lock means has a lock lever provided so as to be able to advance and retreat from the main body panel to the base, and a lock hole provided on a top side of the base and a side surface near the top.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a detachable transfer assisting means in a bed or the like according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a detachable transfer assisting means 2 (hereinafter, transfer assisting means 2) mounted on a bed 1. The transfer assisting means 2 is detachably attached to an accessory attachment hole 5 in a side frame 4 of the bed 1 near the foot board 3.
That is, the transfer assisting means 2 includes a base 6 mounted on the accessory mounting hole 5 of the side frame 4 and a main body panel 8 rotatably mounted on the base 6 and supported via the rotation restricting mechanism 7. The main body panel 8 is held vertically with respect to the base 6 by a locking means described later, while being held down in a substantially horizontal direction, and the main body panel 8 contacts the side surface of the mattress 10 on the bottom 9. In addition, the height is set to be substantially the same as the height of the mattress 10.

The base 6 is, as shown in FIG. 2, a leg 1 adapted to be inserted into the accessory mounting hole 5 of the side frame 4.
1, and a base frame 12 mounted on the side frame 4 corresponding to the side frame 4.

The main body panel 8 has a substantially trapezoidal shape and is formed of a known synthetic resin molded body covered with a soft surface material. The main body panel 8 includes the base frame 12.
Is rotatably mounted via a holding frame 13 mounted on the back surface.

The rotation restricting mechanism 7 has connecting arms 14, 14 having one ends rotatably attached to both end surfaces of the base frame 12, and connecting the other ends of the connecting arms 14, 14 to each other. The holding frame 13 on the back side of the main body panel 8 is movably attached to elongated holes 15, 15 which are guide members provided on both longitudinal end surfaces of the holding frame 13.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the holding frame 13 has a locking means 16 for holding the main body panel 8 vertically with respect to the base frame 12 while holding the main body panel 8 in a substantially horizontal state. Is provided. This locking means 16
A lock lever 17 is provided on the holding frame 13 so as to be able to advance and retreat, and lock holes 18 and 19 are provided on the top side of the base frame 12 and on the side surface near the top. That is, the base frame 12
The lock hole 18 on the top side of the main body panel 8
The lock hole 19 on the side surface near the top is for holding the main body panel 8 in a state of lying down substantially in the horizontal direction. The base frame 12 is provided with a stepped portion 20 for receiving the lower end of the main body panel 8 when the main body panel 8 is vertically raised (see FIG. 4).

In the detachable transfer assisting means 2 as described above, the base frame 12 can be mounted by inserting the legs 11, 11 into the accessory mounting holes 5 of the side frame 4 in the bed 1. When the cared person is transferred to a wheelchair or a portable toilet, the main body panel 8 is held in a state of lying down substantially horizontally with respect to the base portion 6. That is, with the lock lever 17 of the lock means 16 pulled up, the main body panel 8 is turned down in a substantially horizontal direction. At this time, the connecting arms 14 on both end faces of the base frame 12 are
Move along the long holes 15 at the two longitudinal end surfaces, and reach the upper ends of the long holes 15. Next, the main body panel 8 can be restrained by pushing the lock lever 17 and fitting the lock lever 17 into the lock hole 19 on the side surface near the top of the base frame 12 (see FIG. 3). As a result, the main body panel 8 is provided without a gap on the side in the width direction of the mattress 10 of the bed, and the upper surface of the main body panel 8 is provided without a step with the mattress 10, so that the care receiver can be easily transferred (FIG. reference).

On the other hand, the main body panel 8 is
When holding the main body panel 8 vertically, the main body panel 8 is raised with the lock lever 17 of the locking means 16 pulled up and brought into contact with the step portion 20 of the base frame 12. Next, the main body panel 8 can be restrained by pushing the lock lever 17 and fitting the lock lever 17 into the lock hole 18 on the top side of the base frame 12. In this state, the main body panel 8 is brought into contact with the end surface in the width direction of the mattress 10, so that it is possible to prevent the mattress 10 from being laterally displaced and to prevent the care receiver from dropping from the side.

The transfer assisting means 2 as described above can be mounted not only on the side frame 4 near the footboard 3 of the bed 1 but also on the side frame 4 near the headboard. Function can be further exhibited. Note that the illustrated bed 1 is an example, and it is needless to say that the bed 1 can be attached to a structure having a side frame extending over the entire side surface of the bed.

Further, in addition to the side frame 4 near the footboard 3 of the bed 1, a bed having a structure in which the receiving means for receiving the legs 11, 11 of the transfer assisting means 2 and a receiving means are newly provided on a main frame or the like is also possible. . For example, as shown in FIG. 5, on the side of the main frame 31 of the bed 30,
It is also possible to attach the accessory receiving pipe 32 and provide it as the accessory mounting hole 5, and insert the legs 11, 11 of the transfer assisting means 2 into these accessory mounting holes 5.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, as compared with the sliding sheet, the stability is increased, so that the safety at the time of transfer is improved. In addition, since there is no gap and no step on the side of the mattress, the mattress can be used as a bridge at the time of transfer, as well as an effect as if the floor width is expanded. Further, when the main body panel is started up, a support function for preventing the mattress from being laterally displaced and preventing the mattress from dropping from the side is also provided.
