Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、老人や長期療養者或いは車椅子を使用する人の介護用ウエットスーツに関し、特に詳述すれば、人体からの異物即ち排泄物を自動的に流し出す介護用ウエットスーツに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
老人や長期療養者の下の世話、言い換えれば人体からの異物即ち排泄物は、主に、紙おむつにより処理している。しかし、排泄後の人体の清潔を保つためのタオル等による身体を拭く作業は、看護人にとっても重労働であり、又、老人や長期療養者にとっても心重い苦痛の時間となっている。
さらに、車椅子を生活の一部とする人にとって排泄物の処理は頭痛の種となっている。
【0003】
そこで、排泄後、老人や長期療養者を椅子等に乗せコンベヤで温水浴に運び、下半身を洗うことが試みられるが、そのための設備や維持を考えると、実用的でなく、身体にハンディキャップを持つ人の特殊なケース以外に使用されていない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
老人や長期療養者が病院や家庭で寝ていても、或いは車椅子で生活していても、看護婦や家庭内の介護人の労働負担が少なく、安価に購入でき、しかも、簡単に設備可能であり、取扱いの容易な器具の開発が望まれる。
このような器具は、老人ホームや他の施設、家庭から強く望まれるものである。
【0005】
それ故に、本発明は前述の要望を満たす介護用ウエットスーツを提供することを解決すべき課題とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、前述した課題を解決するために、基本的には、老人や長期療養者の腰部に着用するウエットスーツに、身体からの排泄物としての異物を検知すると、温水を流し、異物をウエットスーツの外へ排出させる手段を設ける技術手段を採用する。
【0007】
このような技術的手段の採用は、看護婦や介護人の手を煩わせることなく、しかも、老人や長期療養者の心の苦痛を伴うことなく、自動的に排泄物としての異物を処理できる。
ウエットスーツ内への温水は、家庭に普及している通常の湯沸かし程度の器具で充分であり、老人ホームのような多数の寝たきり老人の住むところでは、一つの湯沸かしや温水器からパイプやホースを一本延在させ、これを枝分けして使用すれば良い。
【0008】
又、検知センサは、温度、水分、臭い等を感知するものをウエットスーツに組み込めば良い。
異物の排泄は、寝具の下のバケツ等に入れるか、パイプを介して下水処理施設に送っても良い。
このような異物の自動処理は、介護人や看護婦の労働を著しく軽減でき、しかも、ウエットスーツは長期間の使用が可能であり、日々のコストは相当に安価とさせ得る。
【0009】
本発明によれば、腰部と、臀部と、両脚部を有する介護用ウエットスーツであって、腰部と臀部および/又は臀部と脚部との間に配された洗浄ノズルと、両脚部間に出口が位置しかつ臀部を外部に連通させる排水具と、異物検知用センサとを有し、センサからの信号により洗浄ノズルより温水を流し、異物を排水具の出口より外部へ流出させる介護用ウエットスーツが提供される。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明による介護用ウエットスーツ1は、例えば、クロロプレン発泡スポンジゴム、他の発泡繊維、ネオプレンや他の伸縮性に富む繊維材で縫製される。
介護用ウエットスーツ1は、腰部2と、臀部3と、対の脚部4とからなり、着用者の身体の大きさに適合するよう数種のサイズのものが用意される。
腰部2と脚部4には、環状のエアパッキン5が設けられる。エアパッキン5は、腰部2と脚部4の内周面に弾力性のあるパイプ材を組み込むことで形成される。エアパッキン5には、図示しない加圧源より低圧の空気を送り、膨張させ、着用者の腰や脚に密着し、外部に対し、液密状態とさせるものが良い。勿論、低圧空気を送ることのないスポンジ状の弾性材を用いて、エアパッキン5としても良い。
【0011】
腰部2と臀部3との間の内周面に洗浄ノズル6を配する。洗浄ノズル6は、弾力性あるパイプに複数個の孔を穿けたものでよく、孔の向きを臀部3の方向とする。
洗浄ノズル6は、ウエットスーツ1の下側半分のみに配すればよく、図示しない外部の湯沸かし器や温水器に接続される。
【0012】
臀部3は、着用者の体の線より離れた下半部を有し、着用者の臀をエアジャッキ7で持ち上げ自在とさせる。
臀部3は、排泄物としての異物を受ける窪み8をその下半部中央に有す。
エアジャッキ7は、腰部2から脚部4へと複数個並設させており、窪み8の両側に対称的に配すると良い。
【0013】
窪み8には、異物を検知するセンサ9と着用者の臀に向けた第2の洗浄ノズル10とを配す。センサ9は小水や大便等の排泄物としての異物の温度、水、臭い等を検知するもので、第2の洗浄ノズル10は、主に肛門を洗うものとビデタイプのものとが使用される。第2の洗浄ノズル10は第1の洗浄ノズル6と同構成のもので、同一の湯沸かし器や温水器に接続される。
【0014】
窪み8は、排水具11を介して外部と連通する。排水具11は窪み8内の異物を外部へ洗い流す働きをし、図示しない容器や排水パイプに接続される。排水具11の下方のベッド部分に孔を穿け、この孔を介して外部の容器と排水具11とを接続すると良い。
【0015】
介護用ウエットスーツ1は2つ割りとなっており、側部のファスナー14により一体物として着用する。
図2に示す12は安全弁であり、13は逆止弁であり、臀部3内に温水や空気が充満したとき、これを外部へ安全弁12が逃がし、逆に臀部3内が負圧状態となったとき、外部空気を、逆止弁13を介して臀部3内に送ることとする。
【0016】
着用者が異物を排泄すると、センサ9がこれを検知し、信号を加圧源と温水器又は湯沸かし器に送り、エアジャッキ7を働かせて着用者の臀を持ち上げ、同時に、第1の洗浄ノズル6より温水を送り、窪み8内の異物を排水具11より外部へ流し出す。次いで、第2の洗浄ノズル10が肛門洗浄又はビデとして働くよう温水を噴出させる。
このようにして、着用者の下半身を洗浄した後、洗浄ノズル6,10より温風を送り、身体とウエットスーツ内を乾燥させ、さらに、殺菌剤を散布して衛生を保つ。
【0017】
ウエットスーツ内が乾燥した後、エアジャッキ7より空気を抜き、ウエットスーツ1の臀部3に体を任せるよう元の状態にする。
エアパッキン5は、センサ9が異物を感知したときに膨張して液密状態を作るようにし、常時はウエットスーツ内と外気とを連通状態とし、着用者の体の蒸れを解消させると良い。
【0018】
車椅子常用者は、車椅子に着席する前に、少なくとも脚部4のエアパッキン5の下側半分にエアを入れ、脚部4の下側を外気と遮断させかつ排水具11を閉とさせる。この状態で、仮りに、車椅子を使用する人が排泄しても、脚部4や排水具11を介して排泄物が外に漏れることはない。排泄物をセンサ9が検知すると、音やランプにより周囲の人に知らせ、車椅子使用者を排泄物の処理設備のある常用ベッドに寝かせ、排水具11を開とし、温水を流して、排泄物を外気へ前述した如く流し出せば良い。
【0019】
エアジャッキ7は必須ではないが、エアジャッキ7に空気を入れ、使用者の皮膚とウエットスーツの内表面との間に空間を作り、温水、温風を流しやすくするのが良い。
又、エアジャッキ7を周期的に膨張、収縮させ、使用者へのマッサージとすることも出来る。
【0020】
以上から明らかなように、本発明の介護用ウエットスーツは、着用者の異物を検知し、これを自動的に流し出し、身体を乾燥させるので、介護人の労働負担並びに着用者の心の負担を著しく軽減でき、しかも、衛生的である。

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The nursing care wet suit 1 according to the present invention is sewn with, for example, chloroprene foamed sponge rubber, other foamed fibers, neoprene, or other highly elastic fiber material.
The nursing wet suit 1 includes a waist 2, a buttocks 3, and a pair of legs 4, and is prepared in several sizes so as to match the size of the wearer's body.
An annular air packing 5 is provided on the waist 2 and the leg 4. The air packing 5 is formed by incorporating an elastic pipe material into the inner peripheral surfaces of the waist portion 2 and the leg portions 4. The air packing 5 is preferably one that sends low-pressure air from a pressurizing source (not shown) and inflates the air packing 5 so that the air packing 5 comes into close contact with the wearer's waist and legs and is made liquid-tight to the outside. Of course, the air packing 5 may be formed by using a sponge-like elastic material that does not send low-pressure air.
[0011]
The cleaning nozzle 6 is arranged on the inner peripheral surface between the waist 2 and the buttocks 3. The cleaning nozzle 6 may be formed by drilling a plurality of holes in an elastic pipe, and the direction of the holes is set to the direction of the buttocks 3.
The cleaning nozzle 6 need only be disposed on the lower half of the wet suit 1, and is connected to an external water heater or water heater (not shown).
[0012]
The buttocks 3 have a lower half part separated from the line of the body of the wearer, and allow the wearer's buttocks to be freely lifted by the air jack 7.
The buttocks 3 have a depression 8 in the center of the lower half thereof for receiving foreign matter as excrement.
A plurality of air jacks 7 are juxtaposed from the waist portion 2 to the leg portions 4 and are preferably arranged symmetrically on both sides of the depression 8.
[0013]
The depression 8 is provided with a sensor 9 for detecting a foreign substance and a second cleaning nozzle 10 directed to the buttocks of the wearer. The sensor 9 detects the temperature, water, odor and the like of foreign matter as excrement such as small water and stool, and the second washing nozzle 10 is mainly used for washing the anus and a bidet type. . The second cleaning nozzle 10 has the same configuration as the first cleaning nozzle 6, and is connected to the same water heater or water heater.
[0014]
The depression 8 communicates with the outside via the drainage tool 11. The drainage tool 11 has a function of flushing foreign matter in the depression 8 to the outside, and is connected to a container or a drainage pipe (not shown). It is preferable to make a hole in the bed below the drainage tool 11 and to connect the external container and the drainage tool 11 through this hole.
[0015]
The nursing care wet suit 1 is divided into two parts, and is worn as one piece by the side fasteners 14.
Reference numeral 12 shown in FIG. 2 is a safety valve, and 13 is a check valve. When the inside of the buttocks 3 is filled with warm water or air, the safety valves 12 escape to the outside, and conversely, the inside of the buttocks 3 is in a negative pressure state. Then, the external air is sent into the buttocks 3 via the check valve 13.
[0016]
When the wearer excretes the foreign substance, the sensor 9 detects this and sends a signal to a pressurizing source and a water heater or a water heater, and the air jack 7 is operated to lift the buttocks of the wearer, and at the same time, the first washing nozzle 6 The hot water is sent, and the foreign matter in the depression 8 flows out from the drainage tool 11 to the outside.
