Description

  The present invention relates to a sitting chair, a simple style toilet, and various mixed uses related to sick people, elderly care in all living spaces from home use to hospitals or care facilities, and from ships to aircraft. is there.

  Conventional elderly care, sick care chairs, or various wheelchairs are merely fixed chair functions.

  However, the physical functions that use them are the hard work that can be fatal to the person, such as the heart rate and muscle contraction effort when sitting or standing.

  It simply pushes the prevention of muscle atrophy to the front and is forced to sit and stand on its own.

  This also leads to the disappearance of self-consciousness, and because of acting forcibly with self-consciousness, it also falls, fractures, or brain overflow accidents due to vasoconstriction due to changes in temperature environment such as home toilet There is no end to it.

Means to solve the problem

  Respect the will of these weak people, or provide a functional seating chair according to the physical strength of the weak people, depending on the will of the caregiver.

  For example, a weak person who can stand up but cannot maintain his weight by flexing his knees can automatically sit on the seat without being conscious of himself. It is important.

  In addition, if the weight depends on the armrest to some extent, seating is possible, and if the standing is similar, the transition armrest can be adjusted so that the type of push-up drive can be changed or the angle of inclination of the seating seat can be adjusted. As a transfer armrest with a seat plate operation switch, one that is useful for raising the self-supporting spirit is required.

  If these functions are attached to a wheelchair for transportation, it will lead to a major change in the future care society, not only for the weak but also for the caregivers themselves.

The invention's effect

  The present invention can be freely selected according to the application, from the fully automatic operation that can be operated by the weak person itself, to the switching type dedicated to the caregiver operation for the unaffected person with dementia that cannot be determined, according to the purpose of the weak person. It was also possible.

  At the same time, in the current situation of shortage of caregivers, caregivers and nurses for home care, along with the benefits of the weak themselves, an important issue that should not be forgotten is the labor saving of the caregivers, and these two are incompatible It was invented in recognition of being disqualified as a care device.

  Therefore, in any environment, for any application, and to match the physical condition of the weak, it has a comprehensive effect in reducing the caregiver's labor and satisfying the sense of use.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  How to make the above-mentioned functions and effects of the present invention inexpensive and inexpensive to use is a simple mechanism, lightweight and robust.

  For this purpose, the strength member of the main body is made of hollow round steel pipe, hollow square steel pipe by welding or vault connection, and the surface protective safety clothing configuration is made as necessary, but the strength member and wood are combined, or It was carried out because the sense of nature using only wood was also important.

  At the same time, the required power can be changed to some push-up power machine models while maintaining the basic shape, so that products that meet the purpose of use can be produced.

  A number of embodiments will be described based on the claims.

  “Claim 1” uses an electric drive machine as the push-up power machine (12) as shown in “FIG. 1”.

  First, the chair base plate (1) is mounted to prevent the chair from escaping when seated, and when the user is seated, the user mounts the chair base plate (1), so that the fixed leg (3) of the chair body is secured. The chair is designed so that it does not escape even if it is fixed in position and snuggles up to the backrest plate (8).

  The base column (2), which is integrated with the chair fixed leg (3), is provided with the top column (4) and the bottom column (5). The lower part of the back plate (8) has an upper back. A starting point (6) and a lower backrest starting point (7) are installed.

  The upper seat plate (9) and the lower seat plate (10) are provided between the left and right starting column upper starting points (4) and the upper backrest starting point (6), and the starting column lower starting point (5) and the lower backrest starting point (7). ) Is tilted to the position where the upper seat plate (9), which is in direct contact with the heel part, is placed in an operable state, to a position where it will assist the stance stand, but the backrest plate (8) moves vertically and there is a risk of falling over the rear. There is no sex.

  The left and right ends of the backrest plate (8) are provided with armrest repositioning holes (13), and left and right connection or independent left and right transfer armrests (14) are selected as armrest repositioning holes (13) depending on the user's physique. At the appropriate position.

  This transfer armrest (14) is designed in various shapes according to the application, but when the push-up drive machine (12) is electric, a trajectory stop switch is mounted. At times, the upper part was rotated about 90 degrees, and the bed was placed next to it, and care was taken so that the caregiver's labor could be reduced by moving the slide.

  Although an electric drive was used for the push-up power machine (12), an AC power source was used for use at a fixed position. However, when the AC power source was used or moved constantly, the storage battery The specified DC power supply was used.

  When this DC power supply is used, a storage battery specification and an AC power supply to DC conversion specification are also implemented. However, in the case of a DC power supply, as shown in “FIG. 5” “FIG. 6” “FIG. 7” “FIG. "Wheelchair" can be used for in-vehicle use, and "Fig. 5" can be used for bathroom bathing care by attaching a gas cylinder to the push-up power machine (12).

  “Claim 2” uses electric drive, but utilizes lifting by various gears, and various mechanisms were implemented from a semi-circular inner ring gear system to a lifting system using an elliptical moving plate.

  “Claim 3” and “Claim 4” are a push-up shaft (11) by a cylinder as shown in “FIG. 3”. For a weak person with a large body weight, and when a large torque is required for push-up power, The effect has been confirmed by a hydraulic cylinder raising / lowering method using a pump or an electric hydraulic pump, or an air cylinder raising / lowering method using a compressed air source, but unfortunately the increase in manufacturing cost is unavoidable mechanically.

  “Claim 5” and “Claim 6” used a gas cylinder of constant pressure or a cylinder loaded with springs, but both of them came to see very effective results, and when they were not seated The seat board was not able to endure, and the seat plate was inclined at a specified angle, and the gas cylinder was also effective for bathroom care.

  “Claim 7” is equipped with a rhombus jack raising / lowering function that is electrically operated or manually operated by a caregiver. In the case of automatic raising / lowering, raising / lowering by an electric switch by a weak person and manual operation by a caregiver were also effective. .

  “Claim 8”, as shown in “FIG. 3”, contributes to the nursing effect with a soft feeling that is always used by covering the whole with a flexible material so as to soften the feel of the strength member. .

  “Claim 9” is used for the seat of a simple toilet, so that the sewage can be dropped into the simple toilet (16) installed on the chair base plate (1) and the lower seat plate (9) It has an opening (15) that penetrates the seat plate, and the drop opening of the toilet (16) and the opening (15) of the upper seat plate (9) are combined at the position where the upper seat plate (9) is horizontal. The structure is as follows.

  “Claim 10” is attached to a wheelchair that is driven by human power or power as shown in “FIG. 5,” “FIG. 6,” “FIG. 7,” and “FIG. In this case as well, in the case of a powered vehicle, the elevation angle can be freely selected by a DC power source. In the case of a manual wheelchair, the upper seat plate (9) is automatically generated by a certain torque. The rise of the lower seat plate (10) also led to a reduction in caregiver labor.

  The reason why the upper end of the direct wheel circumference of the wheelchair of this wheelchair is set to the height below the upper seat plate (9) is the same as the side-sliding on the transfer from the bed, similar to the above-described “0024” armrest rotation storage. It is.

  [Claim 11], as shown in "FIG. 1," "FIG. 2," and "FIG. 4," the transfer wheel for movement (17) when the present invention not used by the weak is moved or stored in a certain place. ) The rotatable shaft of the chair base plate (1) is turned to the lower position to change the position so that it can be easily routed by the wheel. However, when used by the weak, the present invention can be used in a rollable state. The chair base board (1) must be in contact with the floor, tatami mats, etc., and the user should be better off standing on the chair base board (1). There is no doubt.

  The present invention is intended for home care for general households, nursing care for special elderly nursing homes, day service, general hospital departments, wheelchair purchasers and their manufacturers, and in some cases, various vehicles, etc. It is expected to be effective in all areas for the weak, sometimes in the bathtub, to prevent the risk of falls, and to prevent the complications caused by the installation of permanent toilets.
