One embodiment of the nursing care transfer tool of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in the front view of FIG. 1, the plan view of FIG. 2, and the right side view of FIG. 3, the nursing care transfer device of the present invention has two main frames erected in parallel at a substantially shoulder width or waist width interval. 1, 1 and triangular auxiliary frames 2 and 2 which extend in the same horizontal direction integrally with the respective intermediate portions of the main frames 1 and 1 and then return obliquely upward to be connected to the main frame. The casters 3 and 3 fixed to the lower ends of the frames 1 and 1, the handle 2 for integrally connecting the upper ends of the main frames 1 and 1 by corners, and the main frames 1 and 1 The lower ends of the auxiliary frames 2 and 2 are integrally connected to each other, the foot support 5 extending in the same horizontal direction as the auxiliary frames 2 and 2, and the lower positions of the auxiliary frames 2 and 2 at the knee height position of the main frames 1 and 1 The knee support 6 is provided integrally, and the belly support 7 and the side supports 8 and 8 are provided so as to be slidable up and down across the inclined portions of the auxiliary frames 2 and 2.

The main frames 1 and 1 may be light and strong metal pipes or fiber reinforced plastic pipes, and the handle 4 is positioned above the head when the person requiring assistance takes a sitting posture. It is set to a length that allows the handle 4 to be grasped while a person is standing.
The auxiliary frames 2 and 2 are formed in a triangular shape integrally with the main frames 1 and 1 such as a metal pipe or a fiber reinforced plastic pipe, and provided on the oblique side of the triangle so as to be slidable vertically. A belly rest 7 and side supports 8 and 8 are provided.

The casters 3 and 3 are portions that serve as fulcrums of the lever of the nursing care transfer device of the present invention. When the main frames 1 and 1 are tilted forward, the casters 3 and 3 serve as fulcrums. The main frames 1 and 1 rotate integrally with the footrest 5.
As shown in FIG. 2, a brake bar 9 is provided on the opposite side of the footrest 5 to stabilize the forward tilting operation by an assistant stepping on the foot when the main frames 1 and 1 are tilted forward. The brake bar 9 is provided with a forward tilt restricting bar 10 that rises obliquely upward, and the forward tilt restricting bar 10 limits the forward tilt angle of the main frames 1, 1.

The handle 4 may be bare, such as a metal pipe or a fiber reinforced plastic pipe, but it is preferable to cover the handle 4 with rubber, synthetic resin or the like so as not to slip.
A flat plate is fixed to the footrest 5 so that a person requiring assistance can put his / her foot on it.
The knee support 6 is provided with a side wall portion that is affixed with a cushioning material to a portion where the knee of the person requiring assistance hits and is curved so that the knee does not protrude.
The belly rest 7 is provided so as to be vertically slidable across the triangular hypotenuse of the auxiliary frames 2 and 2, and is slidable from the lower position shown in FIG. 5 to the upper position shown in FIG. When the person is transferred, the person is slid from the uppermost position in FIG. 4 to the lower position in FIG. 5, that is, the abdomen position of the person requiring assistance.

The side supports 8 and 8 can be positioned upward by a ratchet mechanism, and can be moved within the range A shown in FIG. 6. When moving downward, a lever (not shown) is operated to ratchet. Remove the mechanism stopper (not shown). When transferring a person requiring assistance, support the both sides by raising it from the lowest position to a position corresponding to the person requiring assistance.
In addition, the B range of FIG.

Next, the operation of the transfer tool for care of the present invention will be described below based on the attached drawings.
As shown in FIG. 7, the person requiring assistance at the transfer source takes a sitting posture. In addition, you should sit shallowly in the bed and toilet.
The belly rest 7 of the transfer tool for care of the present invention is moved to the uppermost position, and the side supports 8, 8 are moved to the lowermost position. The side supports 8, 8 have a ratchet mechanism, and when moving downward, pull a lever (not shown) and remove a stopper (not shown).
The care transfer tool of the present invention is brought close to the feet of the person requiring assistance, and the foot is placed on the footrest 5. If there is paralysis, place the foot on the footrest 5 with assistance.
Furthermore, the nursing care transfer tool of the present invention is brought close to a position where the knee of the person requiring assistance touches the knee support 6.

Then, the belly rest 7 is slid downward according to the physique of the person requiring assistance, and the belly rest 7 supports the upper body of the person requiring assistance when the care transfer device of the present invention is tilted forward.
Next, the armrests 8 and 8 are made to lean forward so that they are under the arm of the person requiring assistance. The side supports 8 and 8 are slid upward according to the physique of the person requiring assistance.
In the state in which the person requiring assistance shown in FIG. 7 leans forward, an assistant (not shown) slowly pulls the handle 4 while stepping on the brake bar 9 to tilt the main frames 1 and 1 forward.
The caregiver lifts the buttocks by tilting forward around the fulcrum near the casters 3 and 3 by the action of the lever while the upper body is tilted forward in the sitting position. At that time, the care recipient needs to hold the main frames 1 and 1 with both hands.

The belly rest 7 supports the upper body of the person in need of assistance while keeping the butt lifted forward, and moves the nursing care transfer tool of the present invention to the destination.
At the transfer destination, an assistant (not shown) slowly returns the handle 4 while stepping on the brake bar 9 and tilts the support 4 near the casters 3 and 3 to tilt the assistant in need at the transfer destination.
Thereafter, the side supports 8 and 8 are slid downward, the abdomen rest 7 is slid upward, and the care transfer device of the present invention is released from the person requiring assistance.
9 and 10 are side views of the bed 11 and the wheelchair 12 shown as the transfer source and the transfer destination. FIG. 9 shows a case where the transfer is made from the bed 11, and FIG.
