Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bed conversion method for converting a commercially available bed into a reclining bed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In Japan, the demand for beds for nursing care is increasing with the increase of the elderly. Conventionally, nursing beds that have been marketed have been mainly manufactured especially for severely ill patients who require a caregiver and elderly people who cannot turn over. Beds provided in general hospital wards are equipped with a reclining mechanism operated by a caregiver, but this type of bed is mainly used for inpatients and is used in general homes. Not a used bed.

[0003]

As described above, the conventional reclining beds are mainly manufactured for the elderly and patients, and are generally used, especially for elderly people. There were very few reclining beds manufactured for use in everyday life by those who did not need to.

[0004] This is because the manufacturing cost of a reclining bed is extremely high compared to a general bed, and a bed provided with a reclining mechanism has a small number of preferable designs because its function is emphasized.

[0005] In addition, when the reclining bed is used in a normal life, it is necessary to discard the general bed used so far. Such disposal is not only an environmental problem, such as an increase in the amount of recyclable garbage, but it is not easy in view of the inability to easily dispose of a bed as furniture to which one has personal attachment.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is possible to convert an existing bed into a reclining bed at extremely low cost.
An object of the present invention is to provide a bed remodeling method suitable for the environment without changing the appearance of the bed that has been used habitually and reducing the amount of waste.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first means of the present invention is that a headboard 1 and a footboard 2 are connected by a wooden side frame 3 and the inside of the side frame 3 In a method of modifying a bed in which a bed 5 for laying bedding is erected on a fixed receiving material 4, the board 5 and the receiving material 4 are removed from the side frame 3, and the remodeling receiving material 6 is attached to the mounting position of the receiving material 4 Then, a pair of support frames 11 placed on the remodeling receiver 6
And a reclining kit 10 having a reclining mechanism that is mounted on the support frame 11 and reclines the bedding.

The reclining mechanism of the reclining kit according to the second means has a bedding receiver 12 foldably provided on the support frame 11, and the bedding receiver 12 is operated to bend freely. It comprises a drive motor 13 and an operation remote controller 14 for remotely operating the bedding receiver 12.

The reciprocating material 6 of the third means is:
The fact that a square piece having a width of 20 mm to 40 mm and a height of 50 mm is fixed along the longitudinal direction inside the side frame 3 is a means for solving the problem.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the bed modified according to the present invention, a headboard 1 and a footboard 2 are connected by a wooden side frame 3, and a bed 5 for laying bedding is placed on a receiving member 4 fixed inside the side frame 3. Use the bed to be erected (see FIG. 3).

In the remodeling work, first, the board 5 erected on the receiving member 4 is removed. Next, side frame 3
The receiving member 4 fixed to the is removed. Normally, the receiving member 4 fixed to the wooden side frame 3 is fixed with a wood screw. Therefore, the wood screw is removed and the receiving member 4 is removed. If an adhesive is used, the receiving member 4 is carefully peeled off using a chisel or the like.

After removing the receiving member 4, the remodeling receiving member 6 is fixed. This remodeling receiving material 6 has a width of 20 mm to 40 mm,
It uses a 50 mm high timber and is fixed along the longitudinal direction inside the side frame 3. Fixing method is 30mm ~ 40
This is done by tightening wood screws at a pitch of mm (see Fig. 2).
At this time, an adhesive may be used in combination.

A reclining kit 10 is placed on the remodeling receiving member 6 instead of the board 5 used so far (see FIGS. 1 and 4).

The reclining kit 10 has a pair of support frames 11 placed on the remodeling receiving member 6, and a reclining mechanism mounted on the support frames 11 to recline the bedding. The reclining mechanism includes a bedding receiver 12 foldably provided on a support frame 11, a drive motor 13 for allowing the bedding receiver 12 to bend freely, and a bedding receiver 1.
And an operation remote controller for remotely controlling the bending angle of the second (see FIG. 1). The illustrated reclining kit 10
A reclining bed 10 of a reclining bed called "Barenschläff Arch Bed" manufactured by Crute, Germany is used. That is, a bedding receiver 12 provided with an arched wood slat 15 is used, and the bedding receiver 12 is raised and lowered by a center belt 16 connected to a drive motor 13 (FIGS. 1 and 2).
reference). Further, the reclining kit 10 is not limited to the illustrated example, and another reclining kit 10 may be used.

[0016]

According to the present invention, the above object has been attained.

That is, a method of remodeling a bed in which a headboard 1 and a footboard 2 are connected by a wooden side frame 3 and a board 5 for laying bedding is laid on a receiving member 4 fixed inside the side frame 3 In the above, the board 5 and the receiving material 4 are removed from the side frame 3, the remodeling receiving material 6 is attached to the mounting position of the receiving material 4, and the reclining kit 10 is placed on the remodeling receiving material 6. It has become possible to convert existing beds into reclining beds at very low cost. As a result, it is possible to use the bed which has been used habitually without changing its appearance.

In addition, since it is only necessary to remove the receiving member 4 and the board 5 from the existing bed, waste can be reduced.

The reclining kit 10 includes a pair of support frames 11 placed on the receiving material 6 for remodeling,
Since it has a reclining mechanism mounted on the support frame 11 to recline the bedding, the support frame 1 of the reclining kit 10 is
1, the remodeling work is extremely easy.

Further, the reclining mechanism mounted on the reclining kit 10 has a bedding receiver 12 foldably provided on the support frame 11, and a drive motor for operating the bedding receiver 12 flexibly. 1
3 and the remote controller 14 for remotely operating the bedding receiver 12, the user can operate freely while lying down.

Also, the receiving material 6 for remodeling has a width of 20 mm to 40 mm,
The reclining kit 10 can be sufficiently supported by fixing a 50 mm-high square member along the longitudinal direction inside the side frame 3.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to convert an existing bed into a reclining bed at an extremely low cost, without changing the appearance of the bed that has been used habitually and reducing waste. It has various industrially beneficial effects, such as being able to do so.
