Description

  The present invention relates to a wheelchair with a bathtub, a bathing apparatus, and a method for bathing a person to be cared for using the same, and more particularly, a wheelchair with a bathtub having a sufficient strength that can be carried, a bathing apparatus, and the like, The present invention relates to a method for bathing care recipients.

  Conventionally, when bathing a care recipient using a wheelchair, for example, a large care wheelchair for bathing provided with a bathtub, a moving lift for moving the caregiver to a wheelchair, and other bathing equipment Scale equipment was needed. Therefore, it was financially burdensome for individuals to introduce it. Further, in the case where there is no lift for movement, at least two caregivers holding the upper body and the lower body are necessary when moving the care recipient to the bathtub.

On the other hand, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-172148 discloses a technique in which a person can sit in a wheelchair by putting a vinyl sheet on the wheelchair and can take a bath without a moving lift or the like. This eliminates the need for a lift for transportation, so it can be introduced at a relatively low cost, and the plastic sheet can be made into a bathtub shape from the seated state, so that a caregiver holding the lower body is not required, and one caregiver can It was possible to take a bath just by attaching.
JP 2002-172148 A

  However, in the technique described in the above publication, particularly when the bath is made into a bathtub shape, hot water of several tens of liters is put into the bag-like bathtub, so that there is a problem that sufficient strength cannot be obtained only with a sheet made of nylon or vinylon. This inventor confirmed. In other words, even if the seat is relatively strong, simply placing the seat on the wheelchair will cause a large water pressure on the side of the leg fixture (leg table), and the seat will swell out of the pressure part. It ends up.

  Moreover, since the leg table and the seat are large, even the wheelchair seat bath described in the above publication cannot be carried around. Therefore, for example, even if the upper body is a healthy care recipient, the bathtub cannot be taken out, so that it is not possible to promote the care recipient's going out.

  The present invention has been proposed on the basis of the above-described conventional circumstances, and is inexpensive and has sufficient strength, and is equipped with a wheelchair with a bathtub, a bathing device, and a bather that can be transported, and uses them to bathe a care recipient. The purpose is to provide a method.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the wheelchair 2 can use a general wheelchair defined by the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) by the Industrial Standardization Act. Specific sizes include, for example, a seat width of 40 cm, a seat depth of 42 cm, a front seat height of 40 to 47.5 cm, a rear seat height of 38 to 45.5 cm, a total height (handle height) of 75 to 87.5 cm, a total length of 105 cm, and an armrest from the armrest 23.5 cm. Moreover, the coupling | bond part 201 for couple | bonding two edge parts of the frame 5 is provided in the both sides | surfaces of the back part which is the backrest of the wheelchair 2. FIG. For example, the coupling unit 201 attaches a gripping tool to a pipe constituting the handle 202 of the wheelchair 2, inserts the frame body, and then manually turns one end of the frame body to the wheelchair 2 by turning the screw provided in the gripping tool. The structure which couple | bonds may be sufficient. In addition, you may comprise the said holding tool as a coupling | bond part in the frame side. In this case, the pipe may be sandwiched between the gripping portions of the gripping tool and coupled with screws.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bathtub 3 has a bottom portion 301, a leg wall portion 302 located near the leg of the care recipient during bathing, a back wall portion 303 located near the back of the care recipient during bathing, and a care subject during bathing. The left side wall 304 located on the left side of the person and the right side wall 305 located on the right side of the care recipient at the time of bathing have a substantially rectangular shape. For example, the bottom 301 or the drainage hose for drainage on each wall 306 is removably connected. The drain hose 306 is provided with a discharge port that can be opened and closed in the inner part of the bathtub, and can discharge water by opening the discharge port. Further, the lower end of the hot water leakage prevention hose 311 is connected to the outside of the bathtub from the discharge port of the drainage hose, and the upper end of the hot water leakage prevention hose 311 is above the wall part, for example, 5 cm below the opening end of the bathtub 3, 3 It is connected so that the water inside can be discharged. The said hot water leak prevention hose 311 is installed in the outer surface or inner surface of the bathtub 3, and can prevent that water overflows from the upper surface opening part of the bathtub 3. FIG. Each said part 301-305 is comprised by the reinforcement sheet | seat which can enclose and discharge gas for every part or with the wall part and bottom part which are attached. A reinforced sheet is, for example, a vinyl material, a nylon material, or a composite material coated with these materials, and is an airtight and watertight material. Specifically, it is a material that conforms to hard polyvinyl chlorides. Is preferred. In addition, the strength of the bathtub can be increased by enclosing the gas, the contact stimulus of the hard part outside the bathtub to the care recipient in the bathtub can be softened, and defects such as holes can be detected early. Furthermore, the back side section 308, the leg section 309, and the other general sections 310, which are hung from the back wall section 304 to a part of the left and right side wall sections 304, 305, are configured independently, and each of these sections is independent. Gas can be sealed. Each section is also divided into a plurality of subdivided small sections. Thereby, while being able to make the intensity | strength of each division high, the intensity | strength as the whole bathtub is raised by preventing the twist in the bottom part 301 and the right-and-left side wall parts 304 and 305 with a large area. Moreover, the bathtub 3 has the connection part 307 for connecting with the frame 5 above the leg wall part 302 and the right-and-left side wall parts 304,305. The structure of the connecting portion 307 is realized by providing a hook-and-loop fastener typified by, for example, Velcro (registered trademark) or the like on the outside of each wall portion so that the pipes constituting the frame 5 can be gripped. In addition, the bathtub 3 can be folded down to the extent of the top plate of the footrest part 4 by discharging gas.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the footrest unit 4 includes a top plate 401, a leg portion 402 that is folded toward the center of the top plate 401 and is fastened so that it can be stored. A construction part 403 that can be pulled out and housed in the direction of an arrow 405 from 401, and a joint part 404 that can join the end of the frame 5 to the upper surface of the top plate 401 are provided. The joint portion 404 is configured by a hole having substantially the same size as the diameter of the end portion of the frame body, and the frame body can be fixed by inserting the end portion into the joint portion 404 in the vertical direction. Further, the height of the erection part 403 in a state where the leg part is raised is substantially the same height as the upper surface of the seat part of the wheelchair 2, and the footrest 403 is placed by overlapping the erection part 403 on the upper surface of the seat part. It has the necessary strength against the downward pressure of the part 4. Furthermore, since the top plate 401 is designed to have a smaller area than the seat of the wheelchair 2 (seat width 40 cm: seat depth 42 cm), the installation portion 403 is housed in the top plate 401 and the leg portion 402 is folded. The folded bathtub 3 and the folded frame 5 can be stored in the lower part of the seat of the wheelchair 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the frame body 5 has a short frame 504 having an end portion 501 to be joined to the joining portion 404 on the top plate 401 and a long portion having an end portion 502 to be joined to the joining portion 201 of the wheelchair 2. A frame 503 is joined at a bent portion 506 so as to be bent in the direction of an arrow 507 to form a side portion. Further, the two side portions are detachably joined to the joining member 508 in the vicinity of the bent portion 506. Further, the long frame 503 can be expanded and contracted in the direction of the arrow 505, and can be stored in the lower portion of the seat portion when folded, for example, by expanding and contracting in two to three stages.

  Next, an example of the use of a wheelchair with a bathtub will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When using a wheelchair with a bathtub, a caregiver or a care recipient takes out the bathtub 3, the footrest 4, and the frame 5 that are folded and stored in the storage space 203 below the seat of the wheelchair 2. And the leg part 402 of the footrest part 4 is stood up, the installation part 403 is pulled out from the top plate 401, and it installs in the front of the wheelchair 2. FIG. At this time, although the footrest part 4 can be made compact by hanging the erection part 403 on the seat part of the wheelchair 2, the care recipient and the weight of the hot water hanging below the top plate 401 and the erection part 403 are reduced. It is possible to obtain a strength that can withstand this. The installation is possible in a state where the care recipient is seated on the wheelchair 2.

  Subsequently, after installing the footrest portion 4, the bathtub 3 is placed above the seat portion of the wheelchair 2. The installation is also possible by lifting the buttocks of the care recipient one side at a time while the care recipient is seated and pulling it into the lower part. Next, the care recipient is in a state of being located in the bathtub 3 by extending the bathtub 3 in the foot direction of the care recipient. After the person to be cared for is positioned in the bathtub 3, the short frame 504 of the assembled frame 4 is inserted into the joint portion 404 of the top plate 401, and the long frame 503 is further coupled to the coupling portion 201 of the wheelchair 2. By doing so, the state shown in FIG. 7 is obtained. The above work can be sufficiently performed by one care recipient or one caregiver. In addition, the caregiver prepares the state where there is no frame body 5 in FIG. 7, and the frame body 5 does not get in the way by moving the care recipient from the bed or the like to the wheelchair 2. Even a person can move a care recipient into the bathtub.

  Next, in the state of FIG. 7, the bathtub is inflated by sending air to each part of the bathtub 3 using, for example, a mouth, a foot pump, or an electric pump, and the state of FIG. 8 is obtained. In a state where the bathtub 3 is formed in a square shape by the force of air, the connecting portion 307 of the bathtub 3 is wound around the long frame 503 of the frame body 5 and the joining member 508 and fixed by the plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners 801 of the connecting portion 307. By doing so, the bathtub 3 and the frame 5 are connected.

  Thus, the wheelchair with a bathtub shown in FIG. 1 is completed.

  After the wheelchair with a bathtub is completed, a care recipient can take a bath by putting sufficient hot water into the bathtub 3.

  After bathing, the hot water in the bathtub 3 is drained by opening the mouth of the drain hose 306 attached to the bottom 301, and the parts are disconnected in the reverse order of the above procedure, and the bathing apparatus is grouped together. The bathing is completed by storing in the storage space 203.

  In the wheelchair with a bathtub described above, a general-purpose wheelchair conforming to the standard can be used. Therefore, the user can realize (use) the wheelchair with a bathtub only by purchasing a bathing device. Therefore, the financial burden can be kept low.

  Furthermore, since the footrest, the seat, and the frame are foldable and smaller than the seat, they can be stored in the space below the seat and can be easily carried. Thereby, the care target person can be encouraged to go out.

  In addition, by configuring the bathtub with a reinforced sheet that can enclose and discharge gas, it is possible to maintain its shape even when a large amount of hot water is added, and because of its strength, Simplification can be achieved, thereby contributing to miniaturization for carrying.

  Furthermore, the contact stimulus of the hard part outside a bathtub to the care recipient in the bathtub is eased by enclosing gas.

  In addition, it is good also as a structure which equips the upper part of the back wall part 303 and the side wall part 304 of a bathtub with the water drop scattering prevention hood 901 shown in FIG. 6 so that removal is possible. The water droplet scattering prevention hood 901 is a plate-shaped hood for preventing water splashing in the vicinity of the back wall 303 when the care target person leans against the back wall 303 in a state where the bathtub 3 is filled with hot water. is there. The water droplet scattering prevention hood 901 is made of the same material as the bathtub 3, for example, and has a thickness of 1 to 2 cm. Thereby, since the splash of the water droplet at the time of bathing can be prevented, bathing is possible even if it is not a bathroom. Further, the water droplet scattering prevention hood 901 has a substantially mountain shape in which the upper side of the side wall 304 is lower than the upper side of the back wall 304, and the upper side of the side wall 304 is lower than the side of the care recipient. Thereby, it has the effect which relieves pressure from the side to a care recipient while preventing scattering of water.

  Moreover, although the dimension used as the standard for implement | achieving portability was described in FIGS. 3-5 about each part of the wheelchair with a bathtub shown above, it does not limit to this.

  A wheelchair with a bathtub according to the present invention, a bathing apparatus, and a method for bathing a person to be cared for using the same are inexpensive and have sufficient strength, and are equipped with a wheelchair with a bathtub, a bathing apparatus that realizes portability, and using them It is useful as a method for bathing a care recipient.
