Also, the swinging mechanism of underarm holding sections 65a and 65b is simple, thus curtailing costs.
  • 1 care robot; 2: swing pin; 3: guide pin; 4: elongated hole; 5: extension coil spring (elastic member); 6: ball plunger (engaging stopping member); 7: recess (engaging stopping member); 10: base; 20, 30: raising and lowering arm; 40: raising and lowering section; 50: holding section; 60: attachment; 63a, 63b: grip; 65a, 65b: underarm holding section; 70, 80: raising and lowering actuator; 90, 100: forward and backward movement actuator; 120: control device; M1: care receiver; C: fulcrum; A: arm-passing region
