Description

  The present invention relates to a simple arm suspension for holding an affected arm (upper limb) in a suspended state, and more specifically, a simple arm that can lift and hold an elbow at an ideal position. It relates to a hanging tool.

  When an arm is injured due to a fracture or cut, it is necessary to fix the affected arm so as not to move as much as possible. For serious injuries such as broken bones, fix the arm completely using a dedicated fixing tool, but in the case of minor injuries such as cuts, a simple method of fixing the arm with a triangular wrench is often used. It is done.

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 show an example of a fixing method using a triangular width. A general triangular width 1 is formed by folding one triangular cloth material in half along a vertical bisector L and setting a portion folded at the vertical bisector L as a bottom 2 to the bottom 2 thereof. By placing the forearm part FA of the arm A and connecting the apexes 1a and 1b to each other on the back side of the neck, the arm A is suspended and held in an L shape from the upper arm part UA to the forearm part FA. As a conventional example of a triangular width, there is, for example, Patent Document 1.

  According to this, it is possible to easily hold the arm A, and further, according to Patent Document 1, since the stretchability is imparted to the cloth material of the triangular width 1, the wrinkles generated in the triangular width 1 press the wound portion. It can be prevented from worsening by doing.

  However, the conventional triangular width (simple arm suspension) has the following problems. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the conventional triangular width 1 is around the top portion 1 c (hatched portion in FIG. 4) so that the elbow E does not fall out from the bottom portion 2 of the triangular width 1 when the arm A is suspended. The pockets for receiving the elbow E were provided by tying them together or picking them with clips, and the elbow E was stored there.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a simple arm suspension that can raise and hold an elbow portion at an ideal position at low cost. It is in.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention has two cloth materials having substantially the same triangular shape, and one side of two sides sandwiching a predetermined corner of each of the cloth materials is fixed to each other to fix the human body. In a simple arm suspension that is a base that supports the arm in an L shape by placing the forearm, a bag shape that curves along the L shape to hold the elbow of the arm on one end of the base The holding part formed in is provided.

  As a more preferred embodiment, the angle between the two sides is preferably in the range of 60 ° to 85 °, more preferably in the range of 65 ° to 75 °.

  According to this, it is not necessary to close the end by tying or the like as in the prior art, and the patient does not feel uncomfortable or pressure pain. In addition, the upper arm can be raised and held in an ideal position where the upper arm is held perpendicular to the trunk axis and the forearm is held horizontally.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a simple arm suspender according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a use state thereof.

  This simple arm suspender 10 is made of a cloth base material such as cotton in which two cloth members 20 and 30 having the same shape are overlapped with each other and fixed to each other, and is moderate in consideration of stimulation to the affected area. Air permeability is ensured.

  In this embodiment, the fabric members 20 and 30 are preferably made of cotton. However, the fabric members 20 and 30 may be waterproofed with a resin sheet or the like so as not to permeate liquid such as blood, or may be stretchable. The material and structure of the fabric members 20 and 30 are arbitrary as long as they have a basic form.

  Since each of the cloth material members 20 and 30 has the same shape as each other, in the following description, one of the cloth material members 20 will be described, and the description of the other cloth material member 30 will be omitted.

  The cloth member 20 is formed in a triangular shape including three top portions 20a to 20c, and is formed in a triangular shape having the top portion 20c as a vertex among the three top portions 10a to 10c.

  The top portion 20c is formed in a C-shaped bag shape so as to easily fit along the elbow portion E of the arm A supported in an L shape, and the relative angle θ between the two sides sandwiching the top portion 20c is 60 ° to 60 °. It is set within the range of 85 ° (more preferably within the range of 65 ° to 70 °).

  According to this, when the simple arm suspension 10 is used, the upper arm portion is held vertically to the trunk axis, and the forearm portion is held horizontally along the holding portion 50 from the bottom portion 40. The affected part (arm A) can be raised and held at an ideal position.

  The remaining top portions 20a and 20b are similarly formed with acute angles. The specific angles and shapes of the top portions 20a and 20b can be arbitrarily set according to the specifications.

  The cloth members 20 and 30 are overlapped with each other, and a portion 60 from the bottom 40 to the holding portion 50 is fixed, and in this embodiment, they are integrated by stitching. Thereby, the part which hangs and holds from the forearm part FA of the arm A to the elbow part E is formed.

  In this embodiment, the fixing portion 60 is integrated by sewing, but may be integrated by, for example, heat fusion or adhesion, and can completely fix the respective fabric members 20, 30 together. If present, the fixing means is optional.

  FIG. 3 shows a more specific embodiment of the simple arm suspension 10. In this example, the two cloth material members 20 and 30 have sides A connecting the top portions 20a and 30a and the top portions 20b and 30b with a length of 670 mm, and connecting the top portions 20a and 30a and the top portions 20c and 30c. The length of B is 620 mm, and the length of the bottom 40 is 350 mm.

  The holding part 50 is a circular arc surface having a radius of 75 mm, and is formed so as to protrude 10 mm each on the bottom 50 side and the side B side.

  The relative angle between the side S1 and the side B sandwiching the tops 20a and 30a is 29 °, and the relative angle between the side S2 and the bottom 40 sandwiching the tops 20b and 30b is 82 °. The relative angle θ between the two sides sandwiching the top portions 20c and 30c is 69 °.

  From the bottom part 40 to the holding part 50, the cloth members 20 and 30 are stitched together by lock stitching in a state where they are overlapped with each other.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 2, an example of a procedure for using the simple arm suspension 10 will be described. In this embodiment, an example in which an assistant wears a patient is illustrated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, the patient's arm A is bent in an L shape from the upper arm UA to the forearm FA. After the arm A is bent, the forearm part FA is placed on the bottom part 40 sandwiched between the fabric members 20 and 30 and the elbow part E is disposed along the holding part 50.

  Finally, attachment is completed by tying each top part 20a, 30a of each fabric member 20, 30 behind the neck.

  In this embodiment, the top portions 30a and 30b are tied behind the neck. However, the top portions 30a and 30b may be connected in advance and passed through the head.
