DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a retractable side fence having a structure to be attached to the bottom of a bed or the like, wherein the side fence is selectively attached to a required location as needed. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, side fences provided on beds (hospital beds, home beds, transfer beds, ICU beds, etc.) can be lifted and fixed so as to cover the bottom side surface only when necessary. There is a retractable side fence. According to this retractable side fence, unlike the insertion fence,
There is no need to remove or attach each time, making it easy to use. In addition, a bottom-mounted side fence directly fixed to the bottom side surface has also been proposed. According to the side fence,
If the present invention is applied to a bed equipped with a bottom up / down mechanism (gatch mechanism), the side fence follows the movement of the bottom even when the gatch is operated, so the side fence is always at a position to support the user from the side. Thus, a preferable function is provided in terms of safety. However, if the side fence is completely fixed to the bottom of such a side fence directly attached to the bottom, the side fence may be in the way when the user gets on and off the bed or performs medical treatment. Recently, a retractable side fence directly attached to the bottom has been proposed.

[0003]

However, since the above-mentioned bottom fence directly attached to the side fence is not a structure that can be removed, it is considered more reasonable to adopt a structure in which the fence is attached to only necessary portions and used. The present invention has been proposed in view of the above background, and is a retractable side fence configured to be attached to the bottom of a bed or the like, and is selectively attached to a necessary location as needed. It is intended to provide a retractable side fence for a bed or the like.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a bottom corresponding to the head side of a bed or the like,
In addition, the pillar corresponding to the bottom corresponding to the foot side is detachably attached, and the column is attached so that it can protrude upward from the bottom below the bottom,
The fence is rotatably supported at the upper end of the support, and the support is attached to the bottom corresponding to the head or the bottom corresponding to the foot, as necessary. Further, according to the present invention, a pillar portion is detachably attached to a bottom corresponding to a head side of a bed or the like having a floor undulating mechanism and a bottom corresponding to a foot side so as to be detachable and projectable from below the bottom to above the bottom. The fence is rotatably supported on the upper end of the support, and the support is attached to the bottom corresponding to the head or the bottom corresponding to the foot as required.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a bed 1 provided with a floor raising / lowering mechanism. The bed 1 is provided with a bottom 2a corresponding to the head side and a retractable side fence 3 covering the side surface of the bottom 2b corresponding to the foot side. . The retractable side fence 3 includes a bottom 2a corresponding to the head side of the bed 1 and a bottom 2b corresponding to the foot side.
The strut 4 is detachably mounted so as to protrude from below the bottoms 2a, 2b and above the bottoms 2a, 2b, and the fence 5 is rotatably supported on the upper end side of the strut 4.

[0006] In the retractable side fence 3 having such a configuration, as shown in FIG.
(Or the bottom 2b corresponding to the foot side) is rotatably attached to a receiving bracket 7 provided on the lower surface side plate 6 via a base frame portion 8 which is detachably fixed by screws s. That is, the support 4 has a first stay 4a rotatably attached to the base frame 8, and a pair of second stays 4b adjacent to both side surfaces of the first stay 4a. . Further, the first and second columns that constitute the column 4 are provided on the column 4.
A restraining means 9 is provided to hold the stays 4a, 4b and the fence 5 in a protruding state above the bottom 2, and
A release lever 9a for releasing the restraining means 9 is provided. Further, a first stay 4a constituting the support 4
A biasing means, for example, a coil spring 10 for biasing the support 4 and the fence 5 so as to protrude upward from the bottom 2 is provided at a place where the fence 5 is lifted. The coil spring 10 is configured to act as an auxiliary force.

[0007] The fence 5 is made of synthetic resin and is integrally formed with openings 11 and 12 in front and rear of the upper longitudinal side.
Is provided. These openings 11 and 12 can be used as grips.

In the retractable side fence 3 described above, for example, when the patient is lying on the bed 1,
Is lifted upward from below the bottom 2 and held. When the retractable side fence 3 is below the bottom 2, that is, from the retracted state, the openings 11 and 12 of the fence unit 5 are gripped and pulled up at first. At this time, the support 4
Since the first stay 4a is urged in the upward direction by the coil spring 10 provided at the place where the first frame 4 is attached to the base frame 8, the fence 5 can be easily lifted by the assisting force of the coil spring 10. it can.
When the fence 5 is brought to the highest position, the restraining means 9 operates,
It can be held at this highest position. Since the retractable side fence 3 is attached via the receiving bracket 7 provided on the lower surface side plate 6 on the bottom surface of the bottom 2, the retractable side fence 3 always covers the side surface of the bottom 2 following the up-and-down operation of the bottom 2. Can be held.

Next, when getting on and off the bed, during treatment, the retractable side fence 3 is in the way, so that the restraining means 9 is released by the release lever 9a. by this,
The lock between the first stay 4a and the second stay 5b in the support portion 4 is released, and the fence portion 5 can be brought into the storage state below the bottom 2 with the fence portion 5. When lowering the fence 5, since the repulsive force of the coil spring 10 acts as a holding force on the first stay 4a, the fence 5 can be stored in a buffered manner. As described above, the operation of raising and lowering the fence 5 can be performed with a simple operation and with a small amount of labor, so that the usability is greatly improved.

By the way, the retractable side fence 3 as described above is
As described above, the bottom 2a corresponding to the head side (or the bottom 2b corresponding to the foot side) is rotated via the base frame portion 8 detachably fixed to the receiving metal member 7 provided on the lower surface side plate 6 by the screw s. Since it is freely mounted, it can be mounted at a necessary place. For example, when one long side surface of the bottom 2 of the bed 1 is arranged close to the wall side of the hospital room, the one long side surface of the bottom 2 close to the wall does not require the retractable side fence 3. Therefore, the stowable side fence 3 may be attached to the side of the bottom 2 which is close to the wall and covers the side opposite to the one side of the longitudinal side of the bottom 2. If the bottom 2b side surface corresponding to the foot side is unnecessary for getting on and off, the retractable side fence 3 covering the bottom 2a side surface corresponding to the head side is used.
It will be good to attach. As described above, since the retractable side fence 3 is detachably fixed, it is possible to take detailed measures according to the use situation.

Incidentally, the retractable side fence 3 as described above is shown in FIG.
The present invention can be applied not only to the bed 1 having the bottom 2 up-and-down mechanism as shown in FIG.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention has a structure in which the retractable side fence is detachably attached to the bottom, so that the retractable side fence can be attached to one side of the bottom or the bottom side of the head as necessary. It is possible to provide a detailed response depending on the use situation, such as mounting on a computer.
