Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a side fence cover device for covering a gap between adjacent side fences when a plurality of side fences are provided on a side portion of a bed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in a bed for nursing care or the like, a side fence can be provided on a side portion of the bed in order to prevent a user or bedding placed on the user from falling. Usually, the side fence is detachably attached to a mounting hole formed in a side frame on the side of the bed, and can be removed when unnecessary.
[0003]
The width of the side fence is formed shorter than the length of the bed, and a plurality of side fences are attached to the side frame of the bed as necessary. When a plurality of side fences are attached to the side frame, a gap may be formed between the ends of the adjacent side fences, in which case an object or a part of the user's body may be caught in the gap. For this reason, the gap is covered with a connecting fence that connects the ends of the adjacent side fences.
[0004]
Conventionally, for example, a configuration described in Patent Literature 1 is known as the connection fence.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
The connecting fence disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 2832699 is a first connecting horizontal rod in which an upper horizontal frame member and a lower horizontal frame member of a pair of adjacent side fences are sandwiched and bridged from the outside. And a second connecting horizontal rod. Support members are respectively connected to the middle portions of these horizontal rods, and these support members are elastically connected and fixed by fixing means, so that the support members are held and fixed between the pair of side fences.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, according to the connecting fence having such a configuration, the first connecting horizontal rod and the second connecting horizontal rod only sandwich the upper horizontal frame member and the lower horizontal frame member of the pair of adjacent side rails. In some cases, these connecting horizontal bars were likely to shift along the width direction of the side fence. If one end of the connecting horizontal bar moves along the width direction of the side fence, it may come off the upper horizontal frame member and the lower horizontal frame member of the side fence, so that it cannot be used in a stable state. There was that.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a side fence cover device in which a gap between a pair of side fences can be reliably closed by preventing the side fences from moving off in a width direction of the side fences. .
[0008]

[0009]
It is preferable that a bag-shaped accommodation portion is formed on the outer surface of the sheet body.
[0010]
According to the present invention, when the sheet body is wound around the plurality of side fences, the movement restricting member provided on the inner surface of the sheet body enters the gap between the plurality of side fences, so that the sheet wound around the side fence is provided. The main body is prevented from shifting and the upper main body and the lower main body prevent the seat main body from being deformed into the gap.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a side frame 1 of the bed. The side frame 1 has a plurality of mounting holes 1a formed on the upper surface thereof. In the mounting hole 1a, a pair of side fences 3 are provided at predetermined intervals with the legs 2 detachably mounted. Each side fence 3 has a frame portion 4, and the leg portion 2 extends from a lower end of the frame portion 4.
[0013]
As shown in FIG. 2, a gap 5 is formed between adjacent side portions of the pair of side fences 3, and the gap 5 is closed by a side fence cover device 7. The side fence cover device 7 has a rectangular sheet main body 8 as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). The seat body 8 is made of a flexible material such as synthetic resin, cloth or synthetic leather. A belt-like first velvet fastener 9 is provided along the width direction on the inner surface of one end of the sheet body 8 in the longitudinal direction, and a first connection with the first velvet fastener 9 is provided on the outer surface of the other end. A belt-like second velvet fastener 10 constituting the means is also provided along the width direction.
[0014]
When the sheet body 8 is wound between the ends of the side fences 3 over the pair of side fences 3 so as to cover the gap 5, the first velvet fastener 9 is moved to the second position as shown in FIG. Velvet fastener 10. Thereby, the seat body 8 is mounted on the pair of side fences 3 while covering the gap 5.
[0015]
A movement restricting member 11 formed of a relatively hard material such as foamed polyethylene is provided at an intermediate portion of the inner surface of the sheet body 8 in the longitudinal direction. The movement restricting member 11 is formed to have a width slightly smaller than the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3, and has a peripheral portion fixed to the inner surface of the sheet main body 8 by a holding cover 12. It is held on the inside.
[0016]
When the sheet body 8 is wound around the pair of side fences 3, the movement restricting member 11 enters the gap 5 between the ends of the side fences 3. This prevents the sheet body 8 from moving along the width of the side fence 3.
[0017]
A third velvet fastener 13 is provided on an outer surface of the holding cover 12, and a fourth velvet fastener 14 which is engaged with the third velvet fastener 13 is provided on an inner surface of the seat body 8. These third and fourth velvet fasteners 13 and 14 are engaged when the sheet body 8 is mounted on the side fence 3, and the engagement prevents the sheet body 8 from floating from the side surface of the side fence 3. . This prevents the movement restricting member 11 engaged with the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3 from coming out of the gap 5. The third velvet fastener 13 and the fourth velvet fastener 14 constitute a second connecting means.
[0018]
As shown in FIG. 3A, an upper rod member 16 and a lower rod member 17 are respectively provided on one end side and the other end side of the movement restricting member 11 on the inner surface of the sheet main body 8, substantially in the width direction. Is provided over. Each of the rod members 16 and 17 is formed of a rigid or semi-rigid synthetic resin or the like, and has a substantially U-shaped cross section corresponding to the diameter of the pipe forming the side fence 3.
[0019]
When each of the rod members 16 and 17 is folded back and adheres one end and the other end of the sheet body 8 to the inner surface of the sheet body 8, the inner surfaces of the sheet body 8 are turned by the folded portions 8a and 8b. Is held and fixed.
[0020]
When the sheet body 8 is wound around the ends of the pair of side fences 3, the upper rod member 16 is engaged with the upper pipe 4a forming the frame 4 of the pair of side fences 3 from the upper end side, and The rod member 17 is engaged with the lower pipe 4b from the lower end side.
[0021]
As a result, the openings at the upper end and the lower end of the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3 are not only covered by the sheet body 8 but also closed by the pair of rod members 16, 17. The hardness of the sheet body 17 prevents the sheet body 8 from being deformed into the gap 5.
[0022]
A bag-shaped accommodation portion 18 having an open upper end is provided in a middle portion in the longitudinal direction of the outer surface of the sheet body 8 by fixing three sides of a rectangular sheet. A cover sheet 19 is provided on a portion of the outer surface of the seat body 8 corresponding to the upper end opening of the accommodation portion 18, and the upper end opening of the accommodation portion 18 is opened and closed by the cover sheet 19.
[0023]
In the side fence cover device 7 having such a configuration, a sheet body 8 is wound around both ends of a pair of adjacent side fences 3, and a first velvet fastener 9 provided on an inner surface of one end of the sheet body 8. And the second velvet fastener 10 provided on the outer surface of the other end portion, thereby being mounted and held.
[0024]
When the seat body 8 is mounted on the pair of side fences 3, the movement restricting member 11 is inserted into the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3. The upper rod member 16 engages with the upper pipe 4a forming the frame portion 4 of the pair of side fences 3, and the lower rod member 17 engages with the lower pipe 4b of the pair of side fences 3.
[0025]
Thereby, the sheet main body 8 is prevented from shifting along the width direction of the side fence 3 by the movement restricting member 11, so that the sheet main body 8 comes off from the side fence 3 during use, and the gap 5 is exposed. There is no such thing.
[0026]
The upper rod member 16 and the lower rod member 17 provided on the seat body 8 prevent the flexible sheet body 8 from being deformed into the gap 5 from the upper end and the lower end of the gap 5. That is, since the sheet main body 8 can be wound around the side fences 3, the upper end opening and the lower end opening of the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3 are securely closed even when formed of a flexible material. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from deforming the sheet body 8 from the upper end or the lower end of the gap 5 and pinching a limb or the like.
[0027]
An accommodating portion 18 is provided on the outer surface of the sheet body 8 mounted on the side fence 3. This is convenient because small items can be stored in the storage portion 18. For example, when the bed is a back-up bed, if a controller for remotely controlling the back-up bed is housed in the storage section 18, the location of the controller becomes clear, and the user can quickly operate the controller. Can do it.
[0028]
A third velvet fastener 13 is provided on the holding cover 12 holding the movement restricting member 11, and a fourth velvet fastener 14 which is engaged with the third velvet fastener 13 is provided on the inner surface of the sheet body 8.
[0029]
Therefore, when the seat body 8 is mounted on the side fence 3, the third and fourth velvet fasteners 13, 14 prevent the sheet body 8 from floating from the side surface of the side fence 3. This prevents the movement restricting member 11 provided on the inner surface of the sheet main body 8 from coming off from the gap 5 between the pair of side fences 3. Is prevented.
[0030]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the cross-sectional shapes of the upper and lower rod members are not limited to the U-shape, and may be a U-shape, a band-like shape, or the like. May be a member having a hardness for preventing the sheet body from being deformed inward from the upper end side and the lower end side of the gap between the pair of side fences.
[0031]
Further, when the sheet body is wound around the side fence, a velvet fastener is used as a connecting means for connecting one end and the other end of the sheet body, but a fock may be used instead of the velvet fastener, or A button may be provided at one end of the seat body, and a button hole may be provided at the other end. In essence, any button may be used as long as one end and the other end of the seat body can be connected.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when the sheet body is wound around the plurality of side fences, the movement restricting member provided on the inner surface of the sheet body enters the gap between the plurality of side fences. Therefore, the sheet body wound around the side fence is prevented from shifting along the width direction of the side fence, so that the gap between the pair of side fences can be reliably closed.
[0033]
In addition, since the upper end and the lower end of the gap are closed by the upper and lower rod members, it is possible to prevent the user from deforming the seat body and pinching limbs or the like in the gap.
