Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mattress having a fall prevention function in which a support member for preventing a fall is provided on a sheet covering an existing mattress.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Beds (gatch beds) provided with a floor raising / lowering mechanism can take a desired supine posture by raising their backs and legs, so that they are easy to use for users. In addition, in such a gatch bed, the upper body tends to be unstable particularly when the back is raised, and side fences for preventing fall are indispensable.

[0003]

However, even if such side fences are provided on the floorboard or side frame side, they cannot completely prevent the fall and the mattress M itself has no support. There is no possibility that even if it is flat, if you forget to attach the side fence, it may fall down due to turning over (see FIG. 6). In addition, when the back is raised, especially a bedridden elderly person cannot hold his / her posture by himself, and falls down to the side, which is dangerous when there is no accompanying person (see FIG. 7). The present invention has been proposed in view of the above background, and provides a mattress having a fall prevention function in which a support member for preventing a fall is provided on a sheet material covering an existing mattress. Aim.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, in the present invention, a sheet base for detachably attaching to a mattress main body on a bed floor is provided. A structure in which a supporting auxiliary member is protruded in the vicinity of a portion corresponding to the back side and / or the foot side of the sheet base material is disclosed. Further, in the present invention, in claim 2, the sheet base material is configured to cover at least the entire mattress main body, and the support auxiliary member can be attached to and detached from any side near the mattress except at least an intermediate portion of the mattress. Disclosed is a structure mounted on the vehicle. Further, in the present invention, a structure is disclosed in claim 3 in which a cloth subjected to a waterproof treatment or a water-repellent treatment is applied to the side of the sheet base material and / or the auxiliary support member.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the support member is provided on the sheet base, it can be easily mounted on an existing mattress. By providing such a support assisting member not only at the back side but also at the position corresponding to the foot side, the body of the user can be more stably supported.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the support assisting member is attached to any part except for the middle part of the mattress. A supporting auxiliary member can be provided, and fall can be prevented.

According to the third aspect, dirt can be easily removed, and handling is easy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a mattress having a fall prevention function according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing an embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a mattress 1 having a fall prevention function.
Has a sheet base 3 for detachably mounting on a mattress main body 2 placed on a floor (not shown) of a bed. The sheet base 3 has a back side and a foot side. A side supporter 4, which is a support auxiliary member, is protruded near the corresponding location.

The sheet substrate 3 basically has a structure that wraps the entire mattress main body 2, and a cloth having a waterproof function or a cloth subjected to a waterproof treatment or a water-repellent treatment can be applied.

The side supporter 4 has a substantially triangular prism shape and is formed, for example, by sewing a known resilient core material with the same material as the sheet base material 3. The side supporter 4 is configured to be detachably mounted by a fastener 5 near a position corresponding to the back side and the foot side of the sheet base material 3 by removing a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the mattress 1. In this case, the side supporters 4
The inclined surfaces 4s are attached to the mattress 1 inward. The side supporter 4 may be attached using a surface fastener (not shown) in addition to the sheet base 3 and the fastener 5.

Here, an example of the sheet base material 3 that wraps the entire mattress body 2 will be described. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the sheet base 3 can be configured as a box sheet type sheet base 3a. In this case, the box sheet type sheet base material 3a has an opening surface 6 on the bottom surface side in the drawing, and a rubber band is sewn to an edge forming the opening surface 6, for example, to open the opening surface 6 of the sheet base material 3a. The mattress body 2 is wrapped from above the mattress body 2 in a state of being spread out against the elasticity of the comb band.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet base 3 can be formed as a bag-type sheet base 3b. In this case, the bag-shaped sheet base material 3b has such a size that the mattress body 2 can be wrapped therein, and has one end face in the longitudinal direction opened, and a fastener 8 provided on the opening end face 7.
With the opening end face 7 open, the longitudinal end face of the mattress main body 2 is pushed in and sealed by the fastener 8.

According to the mattress 1 having the above-described fall prevention function, the side supporter 4 is provided on the sheet base 3 side so as to cover the entire mattress main body 2 placed on the floor of the bed. The mattress can easily have a fall prevention function. Further, the user's body can be supported whether the bed is flat (see FIG. 4) or gatch (see FIG. 5). in this case,
It is more effective if the side supporters 4 are mounted in the vicinity of the positions corresponding to the back side and the foot side in the sheet base material 3, and it is possible to further contribute to fall prevention by using the side fence in the bed. .

At the time of the above-mentioned gatch, the side supporters 4 mounted near the positions corresponding to the back side and the foot side are close to each other, but the center support in the longitudinal direction of the mattress 1 is opened to dispose the side supporters 4. They do not collide with each other (see FIG. 5).

When the side supporter 4 becomes dirty, the fastener 5 in the side supporter 4 is operated to
Can be removed and the sheet substrate 3 can be washed to remove dirt. The sheet base 3 and the side supporters 4
If a fabric having a waterproof function or a fabric subjected to a waterproof treatment or a water-repellent treatment is applied to the side lands, dirt can be easily removed.

Further, the side supporter 4 is attached to the sheet base 3.
Furthermore, in the case where the side supporter 4 is detachably attached by the hook-and-loop fastener, the side supporter 4 can be provided at a position corresponding to the physique of the user, which makes the device easier to use.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, (1) an existing mattress can be easily provided with a fall prevention function. (2) The provision of the support assisting member not only on the back side but also on the foot side can further contribute to drop prevention. (3) If the supporting auxiliary member can be removed and a cloth having a waterproof function or a cloth which has been subjected to a waterproof treatment or a water-repellent treatment is applied to the side of the sheet base or the supporting auxiliary member, dirt can be easily removed. It can be dropped and is easy to handle.
