Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a transferred person placed on a pedestal or shelf, or a cared person lying on a bed.
The present invention relates to a conveyor device suitable for safe and easy transfer and movement to another place while reducing the labor of an operator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for transferring an object to be transferred placed on a pedestal or shelf or a cared person lying on a bed to another place, the object is suspended by a lift or lifted and moved. It is routinely performed and moved by a conveyor. However, movement of fragile articles and articles such as precision instruments does not cause much problems because they are always packed in heavy packaging. However, it is often encountered that those items are loose and lightly packaged, and that the care recipient lying on the bed needs more delicate work than a human hand. From such a viewpoint, various proposals have been made as means of transportation. In particular, the cared person is often moved from bed to bed or stretcher and from bed to wheelchair, and the means of movement may depend on the hands of multiple people. Various proposals have been made regarding the means of transportation of the cared person for the purpose of reducing the labor burden of the carer. For example, a cared person transfer device including a flat tubular body that is rotatable in the transfer direction with the cared person placed and a gantry that mounts the flat tubular body, and the transfer device includes: A cared person transfer device provided with a moving means that defines a width of a flat cylindrical body protruding from a frame.
In Japanese Patent No. 288026, the bed structure is such that a fixed floor frame and a movable floor frame are installed in a base frame, and the movable floor frame portion can be further adjusted in angle to a seat portion and a backrest portion.
Moreover, the movable floor frame part is described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-42053, which has a structure capable of moving laterally.

[0003]

However, in the case of moving or transferring to the movable base, the conventional transfer means does not reduce the labor burden of the operator, and the transferred body or the cared person does not. It does not give sufficient consideration to protection and safety. It is an object of the present invention to provide a moving / transporting means in which sufficient protection and safety are taken into consideration when transporting a transported body or a cared person, and labor of a worker is reduced.
