BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nursing care lift which can be compactly accommodated in a living room when not in use, and which can be partially disassembled from the viewpoint of loading into a house. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, Japan has become one of the longest living countries in the world, and it is said that there is no time to create an environment suitable for an aging society. Against this background, as part of creating an environment, including homes with little steps that allow the elderly to live with peace of mind, in the home, for example, beds at home, wheelchairs, walking aids, auxiliary columns, etc. A number of equipments have been invented. By the way, the present applicant has lifted the old man, especially for the elderly who have difficulty walking on their own, so that the caregiver can easily move between the bed and the wheelchair, or to the bathroom or bathroom. We have commercialized a nursing lift that can be moved in a state. The use of such a nursing care lift provides a great advantage that even a careless caregiver can move an elderly person without difficulty and be free from heavy labor.

[0003]

However, since the nursing care lift has the shape of the legs and the suspension means for which stability is emphasized, a considerable space is required, and the nursing care lift is required to secure stability. In particular, it is inevitable that a certain amount of weight is inevitable, particularly in the case of a truck, and there is a concern that, in a general house, not only a storage place when not in use but also a carry-in problem. The present invention has been proposed in order to improve such inconvenience, and is configured to be able to be compactly stored in a living room when not in use, and to be partially disassembled from the viewpoint of carrying in a house. The purpose is to provide a care lift.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a nursing lift adapted to lift and move a long-term caregiver or an elderly person so that it can be inserted downward from the side of the bed to the bottom. Trolley and
A column supported on the carriage and a base end rotatably mounted on the upper end side of the column and detachably connected to a linear shaft forming a linear drive mechanism at an intermediate portion. With a boom that raises and lowers the tip through
At the end of the boom, a suspending means for lifting and suspending a long-term caregiver or an elderly person is provided, and the bogie is configured such that an auxiliary frame equipped with a second wheel is detachably attached to a base frame equipped with a first wheel. When the auxiliary frame is not used, the auxiliary frame is pulled out from the base frame and held along the column, while the linear motion shaft of the linear drive mechanism is retracted to lower the boom to the column. Further, the present invention provides a nursing lift adapted to lift and move a long-term caregiver or an elderly person, a dolly configured to be inserted from the side of the bed to the bottom, a support standing upright on the dolly, and an upper end of the support. There is a boom that allows the base end to be rotatably mounted and the intermediate part to be detachably connected to a linear drive shaft that constitutes a linear drive mechanism. At the end of the boom, a suspending means for lifting and suspending a long-term care giver or an elderly person is provided, and the bogie is configured such that an auxiliary frame equipped with a second wheel can be detachably attached to a base frame equipped with a first wheel. When the auxiliary frame is pulled out of the base frame when not in use, the auxiliary frame is held so as to be along the support column side, while the connection state between the linear motion shaft and the boom in the linear motion drive mechanism is released. It was to unload the boom to the post side with. In the above-described configuration, when the auxiliary frame of the carriage is pulled out of the base frame when not in use and is held along the column, the auxiliary wheel is provided on the base frame so as to be movable. Further, the support can be configured to be dividable.
