  In hospitals and nursing homes, caregivers who are bedridden or are forced to live on their beds are in a state of being locked up because their physical freedom is not effective. Is in the present situation. In such a situation, because the movement of the body is restricted, the local blood flow becomes worse, and the risk of suffering from pressure ulcers increases the caregiver's position of the cared person at regular intervals. It is obliged to convert.

  Changing the position of a caregiver who is unable to work alone due to lack of personnel in the facility places a heavy burden on the caregiver both physically and in time. In addition, a caregiver who is bedridden or close to it cannot go to the toilet and is always in a disposable diaper because it is difficult to use a simple toilet. The change of paper diapers and undergarments are also difficult for a caregiver alone. Sheets and underwear are often soiled with filth when changing diapers, leaving a sense of incongruity as a nursing odor. Recently, there has been a high risk of natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, floods, and human disasters such as fires and accidents, and training for emergency condemnation has been actively carried out. In order to evacuate the elderly, two or more first-aid caregivers are required, and the evacuation requires a great deal of labor and time. .

Thus, the inventors of the present invention have actually studied what functionality and characteristics can be added by cutting, overlapping, or folding conventional sheets. By carefully observing the current care situation in detail and examining the actual problems, the sheet itself is cut and a handle function is added to pull, raise, tilt, move, bind, and fix We were able to find out how to add functionality. The inventor who has found out that various functions can be added to the sheet by cutting (dividing) has led to a conclusion as to what cut should be set at what location of the sheet.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to add a sheet care function (position change, movement, protection, covering, deodorization, etc.) to a sheet while maintaining the function (stain prevention) as a conventional sheet. This is in what kind of processing should be applied.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that the upper end of the rectangular sheet has a width for supporting the body, and is formed into a strip-shaped section having a predetermined width from the side of the sheet. In the center of the upper edge, a short cut is provided in the vertical direction so as to bypass the head, and the lower end of the sheet has a width to support the body, and is predetermined from the side of the sheet. It is a multifunctional sheet for care, characterized in that a cut is provided in the vertical direction so as to form a strip-shaped section having a width of 5 mm, and can be used as a bed sheet, clothing, and a transport tool.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the multifunctional sheet for care according to the first aspect, the slits in the upper corners of the sheet are provided with slits in the arm through holes, and the foot sections are passed through the lower corner pieces. The multifunctional sheet for care according to claim 1, wherein a hole cut is provided.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the multifunctional sheet for care according to the first aspect, a vertical cut is provided at the end of the strip-shaped section at the upper corner of the sheet and at the ends of the sections at the lower corners. The multifunctional sheet for care according to claim 1, wherein a pair of strip-like knot pieces are provided.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the multifunctional sheet for care according to the first to third aspects of the present invention, a pair of knots are provided at the end of each cut. Multifunctional sheets for nursing.
The invention according to claim 5 is the multifunctional sheet for care according to claim 1, wherein the material of the sheet is woven with a fiber having a deodorizing function. .

The multifunctional sheets for care of the present invention can be used as a normal rectangular sheet, as well as make it easy to change the position, move and change underwear and diapers of a cared person, and also to caregivers in case of emergency condemnation It can be carried alone, and can be used as a simple towel that can be easily worn in summer.
In addition, the processed sheet fabric may be a knitted fabric such as a rectangular woven fabric or a towel, and only a cut is made in the rectangular sheet fabric, so that a useless half-finished fabric does not appear and the processing is easy.
Furthermore, the body odor of bedridden caregivers and the diaper odor due to defecation and urination can be eliminated, facilitating caregivers' care and maintaining the care environment in a sanitary manner.

The inventor considered various things about what kind of processing should be applied in order to give the sheets functionality (position change, movement, protection, covering, deodorization, etc.). , Repeated prototypes. Then, several cuts of a certain length were made along the longitudinal direction of the conventional sheet. Holding the piece on the right side of the center line cut in a strip shape and slowly pulling it toward the center, I was able to lift the upper right half of the body. In the same way, holding the piece on the left side of the center line and pulling it toward the center, the upper left half of the body could be lifted. When this piece was fixed to the bed fence, the upper body could be kept floating. Furthermore, the degree to which the upper body floats could be adjusted by adjusting the fixing position (length of one piece). The same thing was confirmed about the state of the lower body.
As a result of further research based on this fact, the present inventor was able to complete the present invention. Examples will be described below.

First, Example 1 of the multifunctional sheet for care will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.
In the first embodiment of the multifunctional sheet for care according to the present invention, the upper edge of the rectangular sheet (where the head is located) is cut at three places so as to have a certain width and length in the vertical direction, and the sheet lower part ( It is cut at two places so as to have a certain width and length in the vertical direction (where the foot is located).
