Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a nursing care device in which constituent members are mutually movable, and more particularly, a movable chair device and a simple toilet bowl useful for bedridden persons such as bedridden persons and persons with a handicap. The present invention relates to an assembling simple bathtub and a method for smoothly moving a bedridden person to such a care device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the advent of an aging society, the problem of nursing care for bedridden people is attracting attention, especially if it is possible to assist those who cannot move spontaneously so as not to hinder daily life. It is a great advance in welfare. In this case, the daily life usually means that people living in a bed or the like move to a chair or the like by themselves, move to a simple toilet bowl to defecate by themselves, or move to a simple bathtub. It means taking a bath.

[0003]

However, under the present circumstances, in many cases, a nurse or an attendant lifts up by hand and moves from a bed to a chair or a simple toilet. This is not only because it is difficult to move bedridden people from the bed to the chair, etc. using a machine, but also to physically and mentally burdened bedridden people to a relatively rigid and fixed chair. This is also because it is difficult to sit without giving. In other words, at present, it is a less burdensome method to transfer a bedridden person to a chair, etc. There is a demand for an apparatus and a method that can perform the transition. Accordingly, the present invention provides a chair, a simple toilet bowl and a simple bathtub that can be seated without imposing a burden on bedridden persons such as bedridden persons, and provides a method for mechanically transferring a bedridden person to these bedridden devices. The purpose is to:

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention firstly comprises a backrest, a seat and a footrest, wherein the backrest and the footrest are rotatable with respect to the seat. The movable chair device for nursing, secondly a backrest portion, a seat portion having an opening, a foot receiving portion, and a toilet tub installed below the opening of the seat portion, A simple toilet bowl for nursing care, wherein the backrest portion and the footrest portion are each rotatable, thirdly, a pair of frames, a backrest portion, a seat portion, a footrest portion, an auxiliary plate, and an auxiliary plate installed on the frame. The backrest portion is rotatable with respect to the seat portion, and the auxiliary plate extends upward from an outer end of the foot receiving portion or in the vicinity thereof, and includes a pair of tilting plates. The back plate, the seat and the foot support and the auxiliary plate A waterproof sheet is provided in a space formed by the backrest, the seat, the foot receiver, the auxiliary plate, and the pair of tilting plates, which is rotatably installed on a side portion of the frame so as to be able to contact or approach the frame. Fourth, a cutout is provided at a location corresponding to a portion of a bed resting person whose body pressure is strong against the bed.
A pair of support plates inserted between the bed and the bed so that the inner edges of each other do not touch each other, the support plates are raised, and then the backrest portion is positioned horizontally and each substantially horizontally. Moving the support plate above a care device comprising a seat connected to the backrest and a foot support connected to the seat, and then lowering both support plates until they come into contact with the care device; The method is characterized in that the support plate is moved outward and the bedridden person is transferred to the care device.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The movable chair device, the simple toilet bowl, and the assembling simple bathtub, which are the nursing care devices of the present invention, usually have a backrest portion, a seat portion, and a footrest that are portions for seating a bedridden person in a state in which the bedridden person is transferred. It is preferred that the parts are positioned so as to be substantially substantially horizontal in a straight line. However, in the case of a bedridden person who can move by himself, the backrest portion and the foot receiving portion may be rotated in advance with respect to the seat portion so as to be in a state similar to a normal chair. When the bedridden person is transferred from the bed to this care device, if the care device maintains the state at the time of bed, that is, if the care device is substantially linear in the horizontal direction, the care device is not moved to the care device. You can sit down and lose your physical and mental burden. Then, the backrest is rotated upward, and the foot support is rotated downward,
It is in the same state as a normal chair, and the bedridden person can be easily transferred from the bed to the chair.

[0006] In addition to the ordinary chair, the movable chair device is provided with, for example, a bag-like waterproof sheet in advance, seats a bedridden person on the waterproof sheet, and rotates a backrest and a foot support to rotate the chair. When it is deformed into a shape and a shower nozzle is further installed above it, it can be used as a simple shower device. The movable chair device can be applied to uses other than the chair by appropriately adding other members. Further, when an opening is formed in the seat portion of the movable chair device and a toilet tub is provided below the opening, a simple toilet bowl is obtained. Being able to defecate and urinate on their own is a great mental rescue for bedridden persons, and often achieves mental stability. Further, by adding a pair of frames, a pair of fluttering plates, and the like, it becomes possible to configure an assembling simple bathtub. In addition, since the assembling-type simple bathtub often has a seat portion and a foot receiving portion that are linear when used, the seat portion and the foot receiving portion may be configured as an integrated seat and foot receiving portion.

As described above, in such a nursing care apparatus, the backrest, the seat, and the foot support are linear when the bedridden is transferred, and when the bedridden is seated thereon, physical and mental burdens are imposed. Although it has the advantage of disappearing, it is necessary to smoothly transfer the bedridden person to the care device. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for transferring and holding a bedridden person on a bed thereon, and transferring the held bedridden person to the care device without difficulty. In the present invention, a pair of support plates are used as a means for holding a bedridden person. This support plate is not rectangular, but has a notch along the contour of the body of a bedridden person.

[0008] It is a heavy burden for a bedridden person to insert a rigid board entirely between the body of the bedridden lying on the bed and the bed, and to raise and move the bedridden person by raising the board. When a notch is formed along the contour of the body of the lying person as in the present invention, and a preferably symmetrical support plate is inserted between the lying person and the bed, the part of the body that is weakly in contact with the bed and the bed Since the support plate is inserted only into the bed and the contact with the bed is weak, even if the support plate is inserted, there is no significant discomfort or physical burden, and the bed rest can be transferred smoothly. In addition, when the movable chair device and the simple toilet are installed on a pair of frames, and a rotatable fan plate is attached to at least one of the pair of frames, the fan plate normally facing downward can be rotated by 90 °. When it is rotated upward and placed horizontally to bring this fluttering plate into contact with or close to the bed of a bedridden, the bedridden who can move on its own moves on this horizontal fluttering plate to the movable chair device or the simple toilet bowl. Can be reached. In particular, if a simple toilet bowl is brought into contact with a bed, the burden on the environment becomes hygienic, and such a burden can be eliminated by moving the toilet bowl away from the bed even slightly.
