2. Description of the Related Art As a device for preventing a band from falling off to the side from a bed, the present applicant has recently disclosed a utility model registration No. 3034422 which can be inserted between the lower surface of a mat and the upper surface of a bed. A metal pipe is formed by bending a metal pipe into a U-shaped horizontal insertion part, and a U-shaped metal pipe side rising part extending from both ends of the horizontal insertion part, and the side rising part is a side pillar part. The present invention proposes a shelf for preventing a bed from falling out of a bed, characterized in that the bed is curved inward toward the inside and that a net is attached between both side pillars.

[0003] This type of bed-prevention shelves for beds is particularly suitable for simple vertical partition-type drop-prevention devices of the previous type, since the side pillars of the side rising portions are curved inward toward the inside. On the other hand, it is possible to press the skirt from the side without causing vertical wrinkles in the skirt and to prevent the skirt from slipping off from the bed side edge.

[0004]

In recent years, beds have been used not only for the sick but also for the elderly because of the ease of nursing care compared to the traditional Japanese-style floor-rolling system in which a futon is spread on tatami mats. Is becoming popular. Certainly, beds make it easier for those who care for the sick and the elderly, but for sick and old people lying on the bed, they do not go up and down, especially accidentally fall down from the bed It is often not easy to get off the bed on your own.

The present invention provides a device having a simple structure that prevents a sickle from falling down from the side of a bed and helps a sick or elderly person to safely and stably move up and down the bed on their own. That is the task.

The long leg inverted U-shaped tubing may be integrally formed, and the long leg inverted U-shaped tubing may be bent at a boundary between the support portion and the insertion portion.

Still further, the insertion portion has a structure in which the pair of long leg inverted U-shaped pipe members are connected to each other by a beam member at an end opposite to the inverted U-shaped end and at the boundary. May have.

[0011]

According to the device having the basic configuration as described above, the pair of struts of the device attached to the bed side edge by the insertion portion is similar to the conventional device for preventing the bed mat from falling off. At the same time that the bed is pressed from the outside at the side edges to prevent it from falling off, and at the same time when the bed user gets up from the lying state and tries to get out of the bed, first the bed of the pair of strut portions One of the closer to the upper body of the user provides a handle for grasping with one hand to facilitate the user to raise the upper body from lying down, and then the pair of struts The gap provided between them provides a means for the bed user to guide his or her lower leg out of the bed with the body correctly directed to the side of the bed by passing the leg through it, and finally Of the pair of struts The bed user grips it with the other hand, so that the bed user can use the pair of struts with both hands, together with one strut first grasped with one hand. To provide a means for causing the user to get out of the bed while being supported by both arms while being gripped.

[0012] When the bed user gets on the bed, the pair of pillars may exhibit the same operation as that when the user gets off the bed in the reverse order as described above. The pair of struts may act to provide a pair of grips that can be grasped separately by both hands when the bed user faces the bed in a forward direction.

[0013] In addition to the basic structure as described above, the upper end of each of the pair of struts, including the upper end thereof and the vicinity thereof, is bent toward the insertion portion within an acute angle with respect to the main portion below it. When the bed user rises from the lying state and tries to get out of the bed, first, when grasping one of the pair of strut portions, which is closer to the upper body of the bed user, with one hand. , It becomes easier to grasp.

Further, when the upper end of each of the pair of support portions has a structure in which the pipe is curved in an inverted U-shape, the bed user first bends with one hand into an inverted U-shape. When grasping the upper end of the support section consisting of the provided pipe, if the front pipe section is grasped, the two legs are passed between the support sections, the upper body is raised, and the other support section is gripped with the other hand, and the bed is held. By sliding the hand that first grasped the tube along the inverted U-shaped tube until it got off, even if the body orientation with respect to the strut was reversed between lying down and leaving the bed. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the gripping state of the hand for the entire tube.

Still further, each of the pair of support portions and the corresponding edge of the insertion portion are folded back at the inverted U-shaped curved portion so that the inverted U-shaped legs extend parallel to each other. When the long leg inverted U-shaped tubing is bent at the boundary between the support portion and the insertion portion, the support portion is formed with a simple structure. Can be stably supported by the insertion portion.

The pair of long leg inverted U-shaped pipe members are connected to each other by a beam member at the end opposite to the inverted U-shaped end and at the boundary, whereby the insertion portion is formed. With this configuration, it is possible to obtain a device that sufficiently achieves the above functions with a simple structure.
