DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the transfer of an elderly person with weak legs, a physically handicapped person, etc. from a wheelchair to a bed, a mutual transfer between a wheelchair and a toilet seat, a shower chair, a sofa, a car seat, and the like, and further returns to a bed. The present invention relates to a chest holding device of a human body transfer device used when the user moves the body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a main column is erected on a pedestal having a caster, and a horizontal frame that supports a body receiving plate at the tip thereof so as to be tiltable is attached to the main column so as to be able to move up and down by an elevating feed mechanism. In a human body transfer apparatus provided with an inclination angle adjusting mechanism so that the receiving plate can be tilted on the horizontal frame, the receiving plate is made substantially circular in a plane, and the substrate is opened and closed in the radial direction. And a plurality of auxiliary plates are pivotally connected to each other, and a fastener such as a string or a band is attached to the opening of the receiving plate so that the chest of the human body can be held in accordance with the size of the human body. The feature is proposed by the present applicant (Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-1).
No. 6510).

[0003] Incidentally, the above-mentioned receiving plate is a metal plate or a material having strength and toughness equivalent to the metal plate for the substrate as a core material and each auxiliary plate in order to hold the chest of the human body and support the human body. For example, a hard plastic plate) must be used.

[0004] However, materials having such physical properties are extremely difficult to adapt to the human body. Therefore, in order to alleviate this to some extent, conventionally, a cushioning material such as sponge or rubber is mounted on the inside and outside of the substrate as the core material and each auxiliary plate.

[0005]

However, as described above, it is impossible to absorb individual differences in body type of each person (male and female) only by using the cushioning material as the outer packaging material of the core material. For example, when the figure is a so-called inverted triangle (or the opposite figure), the chest strongly hits only the upper part of the receiving plate (chest holding device), and it is inevitable that there is a gap at the lower part (or vice versa), It does not fit perfectly. The same applies to women (especially breast augmented women).

[0006]

[Object] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and absorbs the individual differences of each person by holding the chest of the human body so that it fits perfectly. It is another object of the present invention to provide a chest holding device of a human body transfer device which reduces a burden on a transferee due to chest compression.
