[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Some shower bags have been proposed for preventing splashing of water so that a shower can be taken in a place other than a bathroom, such as a bedroom or a hospital room. In each case, a soft waterproof material such as a polypropylene sheet is processed into a bag shape. Masuno et al. Have developed a shower bag provided with a plurality of drainage ports made of hard parts as an invention for application in 1998. Bedridden patients who have limited mobility can lie on the bed and have a shower bag shaped to cover the patient's neck. The shower nozzle is housed in this bag. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-33696 also discloses a similar shower cleaning bag technology by Masuno et al.

[0003]

A conventional shower bag is used as it is on a bed. The shower bag is made of a soft material and cannot retain its shape by itself. Caregivers are required to be skilled in working with care so as not to block the drain, prevent the bag from contacting the patient's skin unnecessarily, and take care not to move the shower bag excessively. The work of setting the shower bag on the bed under the patient also requires skill. As described above, in a conventional bed, setting a shower bag on the bed and having a patient take a shower bath requires a considerable skill of a caregiver.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment corresponding to claim 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. A bedridden patient 101 wrapped under a neck in a shower bag 100 is lying on a bed 102.
The shower bag is provided with a drain 103. The drain is attached to drain the water inside the shower bag. Screens are arranged on the head and feet of the bed. A support beam 1 attached to this screen with a mounting bracket extends just above the center axis passing through the navel and nose of the patient. The support beam is an aluminum pipe. As shown in the drawing, a support rope 2 hangs from the pointing beam near the chest position and near the knee position. This support rope is a nylon rope. Attachment hooks 3 are provided at both ends of the nylon rope, and the support rope can be detachably attached to both the support beam and the shower bag. Since the support beam, the support rope, and the mounting hook 3 maintain the shape of the shower bag as a whole, the entirety will be referred to as a support fitting. Thus, it is not necessarily a “metal part” but is called a support fitting. The integrated system of the bed, the shower bag, and the supporting bracket illustrated in FIG. 1 is called a nursing bed.

In the care bed of FIG. 1, the support fitting of the shower bag is arranged on the central axis of the patient, so that the support fitting does not interfere with the caregiver who takes care of the shower bathing work from the side of the patient. Since the shower bag is entirely lifted, the position of the drain port is also lifted slightly upward as shown in the figure, and drainage is performed without interruption. If the height of the drain port attached to the shower bag is too high, water will accumulate inside the shower bag up to the mounting position, and the patient will be immersed in the water, which is not good. In that case, the height can be adjusted to an optimum height by adjusting the length of the support rope to make it longer. Since a plurality of outlets are attached, it is possible to prevent the drainage from some of the outlets by adjusting the length of each of the ropes. For example, by shortening the support rope so that the drain that you do not want to use is at a very high position, or on the contrary, making it very low, so that the shower bag etc. leans on the drain and closes the drain. The use of drains can be prevented.

[0008] Since the patient can see the support beam in front of his / her eyes, he / she can feel sensitively when his / her position is shifted left and right. This ensures that you are always in the center of the bed and you can rest assured.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. Shower bag 100 is placed on bed 102. The mounting hook 3 made of hard plastic attached to the drain 103 is hooked and fixed to the support hanger 4. The support hanger is attached to the side of the bed mat or skeleton under the mat. The mounting hanger serves as a fulcrum, and the support hanger can move up and down in an arc. FIG. 2 shows a state where it is flipped up diagonally upward. If the shower bag is not fixed, the support hanger can be hung down just below so that it is not in the way. In some cases, the support hanger hung directly below is used as staples (foot rest) when a patient climbs a bed.

Now, the drain in the state of FIG. 2 will be described in detail. The bed is not lifted by the support hanger, and the drain is made of soft vinyl.
It is a state where the inside is closed by breaking at the corner of 02. Sewage inside the shower bag accumulates above (inside) the closed portion. However, as shown in FIG. 2, when the support hanger is used to flip up a little to the upper side, the closed portion is opened. If the support hook is lifted so that the position of the support hook is lower than that of the bed 102, all the wastewater inside the shower bag placed on the bed flows into the drain port. In the above, "slightly distant" means a direction away from the bed. In order to open the obstruction, it is effective to jump upward and simultaneously pull it moderately far.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 3 of the present invention. It is an example of a nursing bed in which contact between the skin of the patient and the shower bag is minimized. FIG. 3 is a schematic sectional view taken along a section near the waist of the patient 101. A shower bag 100 is placed on a bed 102. The support beam 1 is arranged in an arch shape around the waist position and the chest position so as to surround the trunk circumference. FIG. 3 illustrates an arched support beam near the waist position. The support rope 2 hangs a shower bag as depicted in the figure. In FIG. 3, fine parts such as support hooks are omitted. By attaching an appropriate length of support rope to an appropriate position, the shower bag at a desired portion can be separated from the skin surface of the patient. FIG.
In this example, the shower bag is separated from the surface except for the back of the patient. In this state, the shower can be efficiently irradiated to the patient. The support beam 1 is fixed by inserting it into a hole provided in the mattress of the bed. The mattress is a flexible material having a good cushioning property, but can stably hold the support beam by setting the depth of the hole to be inserted to 20 cm or more.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 4 of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, wherein a patient 101 is stored in a shower bag 100. Shower bag 100 is placed on bed 102. A support rope 2 suspended from an arch-shaped support beam 1 is attached to a glove 104. The glove is used by a caregiver to care for a patient to take a bath. In FIG. 4, the glove 104 is held so that the fingertip faces downward and the joint with the shower bag faces upward. Even if there is a hole in the fingertip of the glove or if there is a hole or a gap in the joint, this posture can reduce the risk of water leakage. Then, when putting both hands in the glove, the trouble of searching for the insertion opening of one glove and adjusting the position can be omitted, so that the glove can be easily attached and detached.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 5 of the present invention. The state where the shower bag 100 placed on the bed 102 is viewed from the step is drawn. The drain 103 on the left side in FIG.
Since the supporting hanger 4 'is hung downward, it is pressed against the bed 102 and is closed.
The drain port 103 drawn on the right side of the figure is opened because the support hanger 4 is jumped up diagonally. FIG. 2 shows the state of the drain port on the right side viewed from another angle.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment corresponding to claim 6 of the present invention. A state where the shower bag 100 is placed on the bed 102 is illustrated. The patient 101 has its head out and is located below the neck in the interior of the shower bag. The junction between the drain and the shower bag is made of hard hard plastic. This portion is referred to as a drain hard portion 105. The drain outlet support 5 supports this hard portion of the drain outlet. This support is a metal pipe that is welded to the bed frame. In FIG. 6, the side of the patient's torso is constricted in a U-shape. The reason why the waist under the trunk is generated will be described. Bedridden patients have difficulty moving themselves. The most difficult part is the torso between the scapula and the buttocks. By the way, when a patient is wrapped in a shower bag, the shower bag must always pass through the lower side (back side) of the patient. At this time, if there is a protrusion on the material of the shower bag that passes through the body, it will hit the back and give pain. It is hard work to lift the torso part even if the caregiver raises the patient, so it cannot be lifted too high. For this reason, it is preferable that the fabric of the shower bag passing through the body part is as small as possible. The structure of FIG. 6 is one of the ideal examples. At the bottom of the U-shape, the amount of the cloth passing under the torso is small, and the proportion of the cloth on the back of the knee and the lower part of the neck is increased to secure a mounting area for the drain port. In the figure, the lower hatched portion is the lower fabric, and the narrower lower left hatched portion is the upper fabric. A fastener is used for this joint, but the waterproof port is inferior to other parts. FIG. 6 is equipped with a shower bag having a structure in consideration of the above situation. The drain support of FIG. 6 also serves as a guard to prevent the patient from falling off the bed.

FIG. 7 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. The shower bag 100 wrapped around the patient 101 is
2 is on. The shape of the shower bag is held by a support rope 2 hanging from the support beam 1. The caregiver 104 who cleans the patient's body works by pressing the abdomen against the caregiver support frame 6 formed by distorting the shape of the support beam as shown in FIG. This is a countermeasure against the fact that the patient 101 is in front of the caregiver and must work while leaning forward to put a burden on the waist of the caregiver. Since the caregiver performs the work by leaning on the support frame, the work can be performed by leaning forward for a long time. Even in an operation requiring a force to turn the patient over, the force can be sufficiently exerted by leaning on the support frame.

FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8 is an example in which the status display panel 7 is added to the example of FIG. In addition to the shower information such as the temperature of the hot water in the shower, the amount of available hot water remaining in the tank, the degree of dirty water, and the elapsed time since the shower, The patient's health status, such as heart rate and blood pressure, is displayed. The caregiver performs a shower operation while paying attention to this display. The display is only displayed while the caregiver is leaning on the support frame.

Although some embodiments have been described above, the present invention is not limited to drainage ports and gloves but can be applied to a wider range. In some cases, a support bracket for supporting the shower nozzle and the shower hose is attached to the bed frame, or a bracket such as an anchor for fixing the shower bag so as not to be displaced is attached to the bed body.

As described above, the care bed of the present invention can keep a soft shower bag in an appropriate state, so that a patient can take a comfortable shower bath. The ease of bathing work can reduce the work load on patients and caregivers. You can easily enjoy shower bathing, which is less burdensome than bathing in a bathtub and gives a refreshing feeling that you can not taste with a towel wipe.
