The driving mechanism 2 is moved between the driving mechanism Q and the driving device Q (FIG. 2).

The support plate 1 is composed of four support plates 3, 4, 5, and 6 for supporting each part of the body of the care receiver. These four support plates are, respectively, a backboard part 3 that supports the back from the head of the care receiver, a seat part 4 that supports the thigh from the buttocks,
A leg 5 supports the lower part of the knee, and a foot 6 supports the sole of the foot. In actual use, if necessary,
Place a mattress etc. on the support plates 3, 4, 5, 6
Alternatively, the support plate itself is made of a mattress or the like.

On the base 17, a pair of left and right rectangular cylindrical outer cylinders 10 are fixedly mounted. Inside the outer cylinder 10, a rectangular cylindrical inner cylinder 11 projecting further upward is provided. Is inserted. These are configured to be capable of telescopic movement in the form of a telescope, but the inner cylinder 11 is prevented from being pulled out by a stopper (not shown) that prevents the inner cylinder 11 from extending beyond a predetermined height.

A motor 14 is also fixedly mounted on a base 17, and winds and unwinds the belt 12 by an operation device (not shown). A pair of left and right brackets 20 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the support plate 3, and a slider 13 is rotatably provided therethrough. Rollers 15 are mounted on the left and right brackets 20 so as to slide on the left and right belts 12, respectively. Left and right outer cylinders
A shaft is laid horizontally on the upper part between 10 (see Fig. 3 (b)),
Is mounted on the shaft. The left and right belts 12 are in sliding contact with the lower rolling surface of the motor 14, in sliding contact with the upper rolling surface of the roller 16, and further in sliding contact with the lower rolling surface of the roller 15, and the leading ends of the belts are, for example, on the lower surface of the support plate. It is fixed to the joint 7 of 3 and 4 and the foot 6.

In order to stabilize the movement of the support plate, an opening groove is formed on the support plate 3 side of the outer cylinder 10 (FIG. 3).
