  However, it has been inconvenient to move and install screens and ornamental plant fixtures easily in hospitals and facilities where layout changes are frequent. In addition, it is safer that there are many clues to support the body when elderly people who are difficult to walk in large spaces such as cafeterias and halls of elderly facilities, but let's support the body with screens and ornamental plants It was also difficult to fall without being able to support the weight. As described above, none of the above conventional examples has a purpose effect (walking support related to the present invention) for promoting walking training to support independent living.

  Therefore, the present invention eliminates the above-mentioned difficulties and the like, can be easily moved and installed, can divide the space as needed from the combination of the end unit and the middle unit, and is difficult to walk in terms of safety after installation. It is possible to provide temporary furniture for walking support and temporary unit furniture for walking support created to provide a function that can fully support the body of an elderly person, and can enjoy walking with ease and enjoyment. .

In order to solve the problem, the present invention is a temporary furniture for walking support that is configured as one unit of portable unit furniture and functions as a partition with a walking guide,
Mainly a temporary partition wall, with a storage section at the bottom, a display shelf for hanging magazines and pasting pictures at the top, and a walking support plate that extends the top plate of the lower storage section in the middle It is characterized by this.

  Here, temporary furniture for walking support is used as an end unit for variably configuring the room partition span and the walking distance that are suitable for use by arranging portable unit furniture side by side. The walking support plate is formed by projecting around one of the front, back and left and right side surfaces of the temporary partition wall body, and is formed with a digging groove that forms an anti-slip when walking along the outer periphery of the upper surface. It is said.

  Temporary furniture for walking support can be used as an intermediate unit for variably configuring room partition spans and walking distances that can be used by placing portable unit furniture side by side. The plate extends in two directions on the front and back surfaces of the temporary partition wall body, and is formed with a digging groove that is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface to prevent slipping during walking.

  Further, the walking support temporary unit furniture, which is a separable combination of the walking support temporary furniture, and a plurality of base support units are connected in series, and the walking support plate is extended to be flush with each other. It is characterized by having a variable walk distance.

  According to the present invention, it becomes possible to easily move and install a single unit or a plurality of units in a corridor, a cafeteria and a hall of a hospital, a nursing home, and other elderly facilities, and can be used as a partition for dividing a living room space. Elderly people who have difficulty walking around can walk around and walk using the support plate as a clue.

  In addition, there is a digging groove on the outer peripheral edge of the upper unit walking support plate of the end unit and the middle unit, and an elderly person who is difficult to walk on the hand to prevent slipping when walking Elderly people who have difficulty walking can wear their hands and elbows with peace of mind and walk around the body.

  Furthermore, four casters with a lock mechanism are attached to the bottom of each unit, which makes it possible to move to an arbitrary place and fix and install.

  By installing the side surfaces of the two end units that are not overhanging, the side support plates that are not overhanging are installed in close contact with each other to provide a facility or partition for walking along the width of 2560 mm. The side sections of single and multiple intermediate units are installed in close contact with each other, such as by increasing or decreasing the width range according to the user's needs, walking and walking and partitioning the living room It becomes possible.

  In particular, it is equipped with a shelf for standing magazines on the upper part of the walking support plate, a shelf that can arrange ornaments, and the surface on which the magazines are leaned is a cork board, and pictures and photos are displayed Because it can be pasted, it helps elderly people who have difficulty walking to get close to furniture for the purpose of viewing magazines and pictures, and to enjoy and walk around. As a result, an environment for engaging in walking exercises such as walking naturally in daily activities is constructed, and it is useful as a support facility for elderly people who have difficulty walking to live independently.

  In the best mode of the present invention, in the end unit (Claim 3), the walking support plate B projects over one of the front, back and side, and in the intermediate unit (Claim 4), the walking support plate D projects over the front and back. Since the walking support plate has a depth of 250 mm from the outer periphery, a means that can sufficiently support the body by placing a hand or an elbow is adopted.

  In either case, a means is adopted that makes it possible for an elderly person who has difficulty walking to the outer peripheral edge of the top surface of the top board to have a digging groove that prevents slipping during walking.

  In addition, it adopts a means to make it possible to move to any place by four casters with lock mechanism attached to the lower part to support partitioning of living room space and walking of elderly people who have difficulty walking. did.

  And, for temporary unit furniture [Claim 5] in which the end unit and the intermediate unit are installed side by side, the side where the walking support plates of the two end units do not protrude are installed in close contact with each other, and the width is 2560 mm. A wide range of equipment and partitions for walking, by installing the side parts of one or more intermediate units in close contact between the side surfaces where the walking support plates of the two end units do not protrude. We adopted means to make it possible to walk along the street and partition the room.
