Description

本発明は、上肢の機能障害あるいは高齢等によって、自分自身の身体を洗うことができない方々が入浴を行なう際、その洗身の手助けをする介助者が使用するためのものであり、浴室内壁面に設置し、ハンドシャワーのはね返り水を利用することによって、介助者自身の手とハンドシャワーヘッドの握り部に付着した洗浄剤の泡を、同時にかつ素早く洗い流すことができる機能を備えた、ハンドシャワーヘッド保持具に関するものである。  The present invention is intended for use by an assistant who assists in the washing of a person who cannot wash his / her body due to functional impairment of the upper limb or the elderly, etc. A hand shower equipped with a function that can quickly and simultaneously wash away the foam of detergent attached to the hand of the assistant and the hand shower head by using the splash water of the hand shower. The present invention relates to a head holder.

従来、浴室内壁面に取り付けられているハンドシャワーヘッドの保持具は、内面がテーパー形状をした差し込み式の受け具が一般的であり、これは単にシャワーヘッドを保持する機能しかなかった。  Conventionally, a hand shower head holder attached to the inner wall surface of a bathroom is generally a plug-type receiver whose inner surface is tapered, and this has only a function of holding the shower head.

身体障害者施設や老人福祉施設などの社会福祉施設においては、疾病等による上肢の機能障害や麻痺、あるいは洗身意欲の欠如などの理由により、自分自身の身体を洗うことができない方々がおり、入浴する際に介助者がこれを代行する事も多い。
その洗身介助作業の流れとして、石鹸などの洗浄剤にて入浴者の身体をこすった後、ハンドシャワー水によってその泡を洗い流すが、次の介助動作に進むにあたり、介助者自身の手に付着している洗浄剤の泡も洗い流す必要がある。
この時、次のような問題点があった、
(イ)浴室内の設計上あるいは施工上の都合により、介助作業者の手の届く範囲内に手洗い蛇口栓が配備されていない場合があり、容易に手洗いできない事があった。
(ロ)洗身の介助作業を行なう時、通常は手洗い蛇口栓と介助者との間に入浴者が座る位置関係となるため、その身体が障害となって蛇口栓に手が届きにい場合があり、この時、誤ってお互いの身体が触れることにより不快感を与えたり、接触時の反動によってバランスを崩し転倒事故を誘発する危険性があった。
(ハ)大勢の入浴者の中には介助に抵抗したり、洗身中に突然椅子から立ち上がるなど身勝手な行動をとる方が少なからずおり、片手で動く相手の身体を支えつつもう一方の手を洗わねばならない事態も発生し、介助者自身身動きとれなくなる状況があった。
(ニ)洗身作業中に、既設のシャワーヘッド保持具まで手が届かない位置関係となってしまった場合には、シャワーヘッドを浴室の床面上に置くこともあり、歩行時の障害となったり、再度これを拾い上げる手間などが生じて作業効率の低下を招いていた。
In social welfare facilities such as facilities for the physically disabled and welfare facilities for the elderly, there are people who cannot wash their bodies due to dysfunction of the upper limbs due to illness, paralysis, or lack of willingness to wash, This is often done by an assistant when taking a bath.
After washing the bather's body with a detergent such as soap, the foam is washed away with hand shower water as the flow of the washing assistance work, but in the next assistance operation, it adheres to the assistant's own hand. It is also necessary to wash away the detergent foam.
At this time, there were the following problems:
(B) Due to the design or construction in the bathroom, hand-washing faucet plugs may not be provided within the reach of the assistant worker, and hand washing may not be easy.
(B) When performing assisted washing, the bather sits normally between the hand-washing faucet and the assistant, so that the body is obstructed and the faucet cannot be reached. At this time, there was a risk of causing discomfort by accidentally touching each other's bodies, or causing a fall accident due to a reaction caused by contact.
(C) Many bathers often resist self-help, or suddenly stand up from a chair while washing, and use the other hand while supporting the other person's body. There was a situation where the caregiver himself could not move.
(D) During the washing operation, if the position of the existing shower head holder is out of reach, the shower head may be placed on the bathroom floor. And the trouble of picking it up again caused a decrease in work efficiency.

本発明は、これらの欠点を除くためのものであり、それを図面について説明すれば、壁面に開口部(2)を設けた中空本体(1)にハンドシャワーヘッド収納容器(5)を併設する。
以上のごとく構成された、手洗い機能付ハンドシャワーヘッド保持具。
The present invention is intended to eliminate these drawbacks. If the drawings are described, a hand shower head storage container (5) is provided together with a hollow body (1) having an opening (2) on a wall surface. .
A hand shower head holder with a hand washing function constructed as described above.

本発明は、以上のような構成であり、その効果は、
(イ)既設の手洗い蛇口栓に頼ることなく、ハンドシャワーのはね返り水を利用して、介 助者自身の手とハンドシャワーヘッドの握り部分に付着した洗浄剤の泡を、同時にか つ素早く洗い流すことができるため、介助作業時の無理な姿勢や無駄な動きを解消す ることができ、これに伴ってお互いの身体の接触による不快感や、接触時の反動によ りバランスを崩すことによって誘発される、転倒事故を未然に防ぐことが可能となる 。
(ロ)浴室壁面への固定方法として吸盤を用いれば、入浴者の身体から少し離れた手洗い や保持操作をするのに都合の良い、任意の個所を選んで簡単に取り付けることができ 、その後の位置の調整も容易に行なうことができる。
また、浴室の施工時に取り付けられた既設の嵌合式シャワーヘッド保持具が、介助 者にとって都合の良い位置にあるならば、これに固定して使用することも可能である 。
(ハ)シャワーヘッドの保持が簡単にできるため、これを浴室内の床面上に放置すること もなくなり、歩行時の障害物とならずに安全であり、再度拾い上げる手間も省ける。
また、シャワーヘッドの収納や取り出しの操作も容易でかつ迅速に行なえるため、 作業性の向上を図ることもできる。
(ニ)ハンドシャワーヘッド収納容器の底部に設けてある、排水出口にホースを接続すれ ば、ノズルから噴出された吐出水を周囲に飛散させることなく、入浴槽に誘導して補 助的な給湯を行なうことができ、入浴待機時間の短縮を図ることも可能である。
(ホ)構造が簡単であり、樹脂成型による製作が可能であるため、軽量かつ安価にて提供 することができる。
The present invention is configured as described above.
(B) Without relying on existing hand-washing faucet plugs, using the splash water from the hand shower, the detergent bubbles adhering to the assistant's own hand and the hand shower head grip are simultaneously and quickly washed away. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate excessive posture and useless movements during assistance work. It is possible to prevent a fall accident that is triggered.
(B) If you use a suction cup as a method of fixing to the bathroom wall, you can easily select and attach any part convenient for hand washing and holding operation slightly away from the bather's body. The position can be easily adjusted.
In addition, if the existing fitting shower head holder attached at the time of construction of the bathroom is in a position convenient for the caregiver, it can be fixedly used.
(C) Since the shower head can be easily held, it is not left on the floor in the bathroom, it is safe without being an obstacle during walking, and the trouble of picking it up again can be saved.
In addition, the shower head can be stored and taken out easily and quickly so that workability can be improved.
(D) If a hose is connected to the drain outlet provided at the bottom of the hand shower head storage container, the water discharged from the nozzle is guided to the bath without being scattered around, and supplemental hot water supply. It is also possible to shorten the waiting time for bathing.
(E) Since the structure is simple and can be manufactured by resin molding, it can be provided at a light weight and at a low cost.
