Description of the Related Art Conventional commercially available wheelchairs have a simple and versatile structure having a seat and a back seat which are slightly wider than the occupant's body. For this reason, when a disabled elderly person, a handicapped person, or a hospitalized patient moves while sitting in an existing wheelchair, his or her limb is disturbed, causing the seated posture to be distorted and slipping out of the wheelchair, or for a long period of time. Being bedridden for a long time made it difficult for them to sit upright because their ability to support their body was weakened, and it was painful and difficult to maintain their posture for a long time even if they were seated correctly. On the other hand, if you are bedridden for a long period of time, you will have bedsores and will not be able to move around, causing stress both physically and mentally, and there will be no recovery of physical strength. So, even if you can sit in a wheelchair for a short time without pain, you can have a good time both physically and mentally, and with this accumulation, the seating time of the wheelchair gradually increases and you get used to the wheelchair life. Will come. As a countermeasure for this, pads have been developed which are inserted into necessary places such as the waist side and the thigh side when seated in a wheelchair. However, this pad is attached to a suitable place with a so-called flat fastener (trade name: Velcro). However, since the pressure exerted by the body is applied unexpectedly, the pad loses the engaging force of the fastener and the pad moves to support the body. There was a problem that it shifted. Also, in order to prevent the body of the seated person from slipping, cover the front side of the upper body from the seat seat, hang the upper part around the shoulder with a shoulder belt, pass through the back of the backrest, and hang the seat seat from the lower side of the wheelchair to the back side. Safety belts have been developed that engage the belt and hold the body. However, in this case, since a shoulder belt is wrapped around the shoulder of a seated person with a physical disability, the seated person who cannot sit in a normal posture places a burden on the contrary. In addition, since it only supports the body with a belt, it has a strong sense of restraint, so that long-term use puts a burden.

減少させて予防することができる。The operation of the wheelchair auxiliary cushion according to the present invention will be described. First, the function of the swelling pads provided in each abutting part will be described. The swelling pads abutting the sides and the waist of the occupant on the left and right sides of the backrest part help the lateral stability of the trunk which is easily collapsed. It helps to maintain trunk stability and maintain a comfortable posture. The bulging pads that contact the outside of the thigh and the back of the buttocks of the occupant on both the left and right sides of the seating part can support the pelvis, which is the most important in maintaining posture, and support the pelvis from the peripheral side The voluntary body movement of the seated person itself is also possible, and it functions to maintain trunk stability and disperse body pressure to maintain a comfortable posture. In addition, the bulging pad on the thigh inside contact portion of the seated person on the center front side of the seating portion acts to prevent the lower body, especially the buttocks, from sliding forward and stabilizes the sitting position, and as a result, on a wide seating surface Since weight can be supported, the occurrence of pressure sores can be reduced and prevented.

に軽度の洗濯に耐え衛生的である。Each of these bulging pads is formed of a pocket-shaped bag, and the bag has an entrance, and the entrance can be opened and closed with a zipper, so that the amount of cotton such as polyester is determined according to the user's body type. Since the bag can be packed in the bag, it is easy to adjust the amount of the seat to keep the sitting posture without burdening the user. Therefore, the posture can be easily corrected gradually while changing the packing amount. Since the swelling pad is packed with a flocculent body, the density and hardness at an arbitrary position in the bag can be easily changed, so that the swelling pad can be adjusted to the user's condition at will. Furthermore, if a cotton-like body such as polyester cotton is used as a cushion material to be packed in the bulging pad,
The floc absorbs perspired sweat, is non-slippery, and can withstand light washing and is hygienic.

It is folded back on the abdomen to hold the lower body, and the tying strap attached to the front end is tied to the frame of the wheelchair on the side, so that the body does not slip down. Since the rear portion of the trunk support cloth has the width of the seating portion, it is held so as to wrap around the buttocks, and becomes narrower toward the tip, so that it does not become an obstacle between the crotch.

りより安全が確保される。FIG. 3 shows a mode of use in which the auxiliary cushion 1 for a wheelchair according to the present invention is worn by a seated person 16 who is seated on a wheelchair 15. The wheelchair auxiliary cushion 1 is placed on the wheelchair 15 in advance, and the tying cords 5 are respectively tied to the frame 17 of the wheelchair 15. Next, as shown in FIG. 4A, the trunk supporting cloth 4 is extended forward, and the occupant 16 moves the swelling pad 9 at the center of the front end between the left and right swelling pads 8 of the seating portion 3. After that, the buttocks are put in and the person sits on the trunk supporting cloth 4. At this time, the waist and sides of the body are inserted between the bulging pads 7 on both sides of the backrest 2 to support the trunk so that the trunk does not shift. Next, the trunk support cloth 4 is lifted up in front of the lower abdomen of the body, and the knots 6, 6 are lifted by hand. An attendant receives the knots 6 and 6 and turns it around the back of the back seat of the wheelchair 15 as shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), the body is tied at the back of the back seat to further support the body so that the body does not slip forward of the seating portion 3 of the wheelchair 15. Although the trunk supporting cloth 4 is used as described above,
If the function of holding the body is not so deteriorated, the trunk support cloth 4 need not be used. In this case, the knots 6, 6 of the trunk support cloth 4 are inserted between the lower part of the seat 3 and the upper part of the seat of the wheelchair 15 so as not to go out.
As shown in (c), the knots 5 provided on the left, right, up and down of the corner of the backrest 2 are tied to the frame 17 holding the back seat. In order to further enhance the safety of the complete cushion, the wheelchair 15 and the seating part 3 are integrated into one by tightening the perforated cloth pieces of the auxiliary locking tools 11 on both sides of the seating part 3 with the seat fixing bolts of the wheelchair 15. Is secured.

The midline of the body falls, and the head leans to the left or right, for example, shifts to the left, and the left shoulder leans down, resulting in a distorted posture. Therefore, although a commercially available foot plate rest, cushion-type cushion, or support surface for the left elbow was secured, it was difficult to maintain the body at the midline, and the posture often collapsed to the left or front. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the wheelchair auxiliary cushion of the present invention was used, it was possible to maintain a comfortable and favorable posture over a long period of time, and at the same time to freely move.
