Description

本発明は、老人や身体障害者等の車椅子使用者が無理なく車椅子の後方から、容易に車椅子に乗り降りが出来る、背もたれ開閉車椅子に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a backrest-opening / closing wheelchair that allows a wheelchair user such as an elderly person or a disabled person to easily get on and off the wheelchair from behind the wheelchair without difficulty.

従来、老人や身体障害者等の車椅子使用者は、ベッドなどから移乗するとき、車椅子の前側・側方から移乗していた。
特開２００２−３６０６３９号公報 Conventionally, wheelchair users such as elderly people and disabled persons have been transferred from the front or side of the wheelchair when transferring from a bed or the like.

そのために、次のような問題点があった。
（イ）一般の車椅子は開放側である前側から、車椅子に対して後向きの状態で移乗しなければならなかった。そのため、下肢が不自由な人は，付添い人の介護を必要としていた。
（ロ）側方から移乗できる車椅子はあるが、長座位の状態から上半身を回転させなければならず、付添い人の補助を必要としていた。また、手すりと車輪を移動させなくてはならず、構造も複雑で高価であった。
（ハ）ベッド等から前進・後進移乗させる為、背もたれを移動しやすい素材にしたものはなかった。
（ニ）老人や身体障害者などの足腰の衰えた人を車椅子へ移乗させる時、付添い人が身体を支えなくてはならない為、付添い人の負担は重く、付添い人の健康にも影響が出て、社会問題化していた。
本発明は、以上の問題点を解決しようとするものである。Therefore, there are the following problems.
(B) General wheelchairs had to transfer from the front side, which is the open side, to the wheelchair in a rearward state. As a result, people with lower limbs needed care for their attendants.
(B) There are wheelchairs that can be transferred from the side, but the upper body had to be rotated from a long-sitting position, requiring assistance from an attendant. Also, the handrails and wheels had to be moved, and the structure was complicated and expensive.
(C) There was nothing that made the backrest easy to move in order to move forward and backward from the bed.
(D) When transferring a person with weak legs such as an elderly person or a disabled person to a wheelchair, the attendant must support the body, so the burden on the attendant is heavy and the health of the attendant is affected. It became a social problem.
The present invention is intended to solve the above problems.

背もたれシートの下部に回転軸を設け、その回転軸を支点に背もたれシートが起立状態から後方に倒れ、座席部と平行になり、移動スペースが生まれることにより、車椅子に前進移乗・後進移乗を可能にした。以上を特徴とする背もたれ開閉車椅子である。 A rotating shaft is provided at the bottom of the backrest seat, and the backrest seat falls from the standing position to the rear with the rotating shaft as a fulcrum, and is parallel to the seat. did. This is a back-and-forth wheelchair characterized by the above.

本発明は、ベッド等から車椅子に移乗する時、背もたれを座面の後部に倒し、その倒した背もたれの上を前に移動する。背もたれは、座面と水平になるため、安全にかつ容易に車椅子に移乗できる。また車椅子からベッド等に移乗する時は、倒した背もたれの上を後ろ向きに移動する。これにより、付添い人の支えがなくても車椅子に、前進移乗・後進移乗を可能にすることができる。また、構造も簡単であるため安価である。 In the present invention, when transferring from a bed or the like to a wheelchair, the backrest is tilted to the back of the seating surface and moved forward on the tilted backrest. Since the backrest is level with the seating surface, it can be safely and easily transferred to the wheelchair. When transferring from a wheelchair to a bed, etc., move backwards on the backrest that has been knocked down. Thereby, even if there is no support of an attendant, a forward transfer and reverse transfer can be performed to a wheelchair. Moreover, since the structure is simple, it is inexpensive.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
（イ）背もたれパイプ（２）に開閉する背もたれシート部（３）を設ける。
（ロ）背もたれシート部（３）の下部に回転軸（４）を設ける。
（ハ）背もたれシート部（２）に背もたれロック（５）を設ける。
本発明は以上のような構造で、これを使用するときは、背もたれロック（５）のロックを解除し、背もたれシート部（３）を回転軸（４）を支点に座面の後部に倒し座面部（１）と平行にする。座面の後部に倒した背もたれシート部（３）の上を車椅子の後部から前進移乗する。その後、背もたれシート部（３）を起立させ、背もたれシート部（３）の背もたれロック（５）機構をロックする。後進移乗をする時は、背もたれロック（５）機構のロックを解除し、起立した背もたれシート部（３）を回転軸（４）を支点に座面部（１）と平行に倒し、後進移乗することができる。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
(A) A backrest seat (3) that opens and closes is provided on the backrest pipe (2).
(B) A rotating shaft (4) is provided at the lower part of the backrest seat (3).
(C) A backrest lock (5) is provided on the backrest seat (2).
The present invention has the structure as described above. When this is used, the backrest lock (5) is unlocked, and the backrest seat (3) is tilted to the rear of the seat surface with the rotation shaft (4) as a fulcrum. Parallel to the surface (1). It moves forward from the rear part of the wheelchair on the backrest part (3) that has been tilted to the rear part of the seat. Thereafter, the backrest seat portion (3) is erected, and the backrest lock (5) mechanism of the backrest seat portion (3) is locked. When performing reverse transfer, unlock the backrest lock (5) mechanism, tilt the backrest seat part (3) parallel to the seat surface part (1) with the rotating shaft (4) as a fulcrum, and transfer backward. Can do.
