Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a (multi-purpose) table for walking trainee which can effectively be used for other purposes besides being used as a mounting table. <P>SOLUTION: An upper leg material 3 on a top plate 2 side is guided to a lower leg material 1b on a lower leg material 1b on a base leg 1 side. The upper leg material 3 is freely ascended/descended by a known ascending/ descending device which is not shown in the figure, and is positioned at an adequate height, thus the height of the top plate can be adjusted. The base leg should be arranged closer to the position located vertically below the center of the top plate, for preventing legs being caught on the base leg when walking around the periphery of the top plate. The top plate is provided with handrails 4 on some portions of the periphery 2' thereof. The handrails are constituted by arranging bars 7 between supporting pieces 6 fixed to the peripheral edge of the top plate 2 so as to form gaps 8 through which fingers can pass, between the bars 7 and the peripheral edge of the top plate 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gait trainer table used by gait trainees such as patients who are difficult to walk by themselves and elderly caregivers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Needless to say, there is a concrete example in which a top plate is supported by legs.

[0003]

Since the conventional example is configured as described above, it has only meaning as a table for loading articles, and there is no means for utilizing it other than as a table. Therefore, for example, a hospital / nursing facility, etc. Facilities that require a large number of tables must be treated as useless equipment except when eating.

In consideration of such a situation, the present invention is applicable not only as a mounting table but also as a so-called multi-purpose table.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] By providing a handrail on the periphery of the top plate as a specific means and by providing a height adjusting device for the top plate, the handrail can be adjusted according to the height of a walking trainee. The height is adjusted so that the intended effect can be achieved.

1 is a perspective view, FIG. 2 is a partial plan view showing the relationship between a handrail and a top plate, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the walking trainee table according to the present invention. 2 is a sectional view of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 is a plan view of the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a plan view of the third embodiment.

In the table A according to the present invention, an upper leg member 3 installed on a top plate 2 on the lower leg member 1b, 1b of a base leg 1 constructed by vertically arranging a pair of lower leg members 1b, 1b on a base 1a. , 3 are fitted and the top plate 2 is supported on the base leg 1, but the assembling relation of the top plate 2 with the leg material need not be limited to the structure of the embodiment.

In each of the embodiments, the upper leg member 3 provided on the top plate 2 side is guided to the lower leg member 1b on the base leg 1 and freely moved up and down by a publicly known lifting device (not shown) to obtain an appropriate height. The height of the top plate 2 can be adjusted by positioning at the height position.

It should be noted that the base leg 1 should be arranged near the center directly under the top plate 2 so that the foot is not caught when walking around the top plate 2.

The top plate 2 is provided with handrails 4, ... In appropriate places on the peripheral edge 2 ', and the handrail 4 is such that a fingertip can be inserted between the supporting piece 6 fixed to the peripheral edge 2'and the peripheral edge 2'. The rod rod 7 is constructed so that a gap 8 exists.

Further, in the case of the rectangular top plate 2 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the handrails 4 are provided with handrail omitting portions on the peripheral portions 2'a on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the top plate 2, respectively. A pair is arranged via 9, and a short peripheral edge 2'b portion of the top plate 2 positioned in the orthogonal direction to the peripheral edge 2'portion is provided as a single unit, and a chair is disposed on each handrail 4 portion at meal time. Although seated, as shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral portions 2'of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the top plate 2 are arranged.
The handrail omitting parts 9 may be arranged at both ends of a, or the arcuate both sides of the top plate 2 whose both sides in the longitudinal direction are arcuate as shown in FIG. The handrail 4 and the handrail omitted portion 9 may be provided at appropriate positions on the top plate peripheral edge 2 '.

The handrail 4 is used as a handle for standing up from the chair when the table A is used at meal time, while the handrail omitting portion 9 is for allowing the handless walking training to be naturally performed during the walking training. .

In the case of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the top plate 2
Since the handrails 4 to the handrail omitting portions 9 are symmetrically arranged on the peripheral portions 2'a, 2'a on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the training effect can be improved by allowing a plurality of people to compete in a walking training. In the case of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a long handrail 4 part and a short handrail 4 part are provided, and these can be selected to perform walking training corresponding to the walking skill level. Further, in the case of FIG. 5, By providing the so-called arcuate handrail omitted portion 9, the omitted portion 9 can be used as a training point for walking on a curved road.

The handrail 4 of each embodiment has a support piece 6 and a rod 7.
However, it is needless to say that it is not necessary to limit to this structure.

[0015]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned constitution,
It can be effectively used as a handle when hanging the apron end during meals, or as a handle when standing up (standing up from a chair), can also be used for clothes drying, and is also applied as a walking training device using handrails Can provide a table that can. In general, walking training equipment uses a pair of handrails (bars) arranged in the shape of parallel bars, but in the actual life pattern, there is no need to grasp with both hands and walk, which is not useful in this sense. However, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a multipurpose table which can be applied as an instrument having an effective training effect, so to speak, that is, forcibly supporting walking training with only one hand.
