Description

本発明は、病院のベッド近傍に配置するテレビや身の回り品等を収納する床頭台等に関し、特に、床頭台の移動／固定が簡単に行える床頭台の固定装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a floor-to-base for storing televisions and personal belongings arranged in the vicinity of a hospital bed, and more particularly to a floor-to-base fixing device that can easily move / fix the floor to the base.

従来、病院等ではベッド近傍には、テレビや身の回り品等を収納する床頭台が配置され、病院等での床頭台は頻繁に移動がなされるが、例えば、特許文献１(特開2001-29157公報)に開示されているように、床頭台の底部の前縁部と後縁部にはそれぞれ一対の合計４個のキャスターが設けられ、患者のベッド移動等に伴って、床頭台の固定／移動が簡単でスムーズになるようにしている。
ところで、床頭台をベッド近傍の所定の位置に位置決めして固定するには、各４個のキャスターのロックレバーをＯＮにして、各キャスターの車輪と旋回とをロックしなければならない。こうしないと、患者がベッドから起き上がる際に床頭台に掴まったり、見舞いの人等が床頭台に寄りかかったりした場合に、不意に床頭台が動くことがあり、思わぬ怪我をすることがあった。
このため、看護師や患者が床頭台を病室の所定位置に配置する際には、必ず床頭台の底面の各キャスターの全てをロックしなければならず、特に、靴先で操作するにしても、通常、ロック解除にはレバーを上方にあげる操作は厄介なものであり、しかも、４箇所のキャスターの全て同様の操作をすると、なおさら厄介な作業であった。また、後日、看護師等が各キャスターのロック状態を点検する際も、床頭台の底面に配置された４個のレバー状態を看護師等が中腰になって目視して確認しなければならず、作業負担を強いるものであった。
ところで、病院等での床頭台のキャスターは、エレベータでの移動の際、エレベータとフロアの間の溝に落ちないように、車輪径を大きくしなければならず、実際には直径１０cm程度の車輪を用い、安定した走行になるように、例えば、特許文献２(特開7-239294号公報)に開示されるような幅広(７cm程度)の双輪キャスターが用いられている。
特開２００１−２９１５７公報特開平７−２３９２９４号公報 Conventionally, in hospitals and the like, a floor head stand for storing a television, personal belongings, and the like is arranged near the bed, and the floor head stand in a hospital or the like is frequently moved. -29157), a total of four casters are provided on the front edge and the rear edge of the bottom of the floor head, respectively. The base is fixed / moved easily and smoothly.
By the way, in order to position and fix the floor head stand at a predetermined position in the vicinity of the bed, it is necessary to turn on the lock levers of the four casters to lock the wheels and the turns of the casters. Otherwise, when the patient gets up from the bed and gets caught on the floor or when a visitor leans against the floor, the floor may move unexpectedly, causing unexpected injury. There was a thing.
For this reason, when a nurse or patient places the floor head in a predetermined position in the hospital room, all casters on the bottom of the floor head must be locked. However, the operation of raising the lever upward is usually troublesome for unlocking, and it is even more troublesome to perform the same operation on all four casters. In addition, when a nurse or the like checks the lock state of each caster at a later date, the nurse or the like must check the state of the four levers arranged on the bottom surface of the floor head stand. Therefore, it was a burden on the work.
By the way, the casters of the floor heads in hospitals etc. have to increase the wheel diameter so that they do not fall into the groove between the elevator and the floor when moving by the elevator. For example, a wide (about 7 cm) twin-wheel caster as disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-239294) is used so as to achieve stable running using wheels.

[Example 1]
(Cabinet part)
As shown in FIG. 1, the floor head stand 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is arranged in the vicinity of a bed in a hospital or the like, and two places on both sides of the front edge of the bottom plate 21 of the cabinet 2 of the floor head base 1. In addition, a pair of twin-wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b) are attached, and as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of twin-wheel casters 4 (4c, 4d) are also attached to two locations located on both sides of the rear edge.
Usually, a TV (not shown) is installed on the top plate 22 on the top surface of the floor-to-ceiling cabinet 2, and a card reader, TV tuner 23, and a simple storage for storing wallets and valuables are stored in the middle. The drawer 24 is provided, and a small refrigerator 25 is accommodated in the lower stage.
Near the front surface of the right side plate 26 of the floor head base 1, as will be described later, an operating rod 311 of the operation unit 31 constituting the caster operating mechanism 3 that simultaneously locks and releases the twin-wheel caster is the floor head base 1. It extends from the bottom surface 21 to the side edge plate 26a of the upper top plate 22 and is operated to be in a locked state and a released state by pressing the operating end 312 of the operating rod 311.

これを図２で説明すると、図２(a)はロックが解除されている状態を示すもので、操作桿311の上方の操作端312が側縁板26aの近傍の平面、或いは、操作端312の縁部312aより突出しており、一目で床頭台1の双輪キャスター4が車輪がフリーで、床頭台1が移動可能な状態にあり、患者が床頭台1に掴まって立ち上がろうとするのは危険であることが判る。図２(b)は解除状態からロック状態に移行する状態を示すもので、操作桿311の操作端312が側縁板26aの近傍の平面、或いは、操作端312の縁部312aより下に押し込んだ操作中の状態である。図２(c)はロック状態を示すもので、操作桿311の操作端312が側縁板26aの近傍の平面、或いは、操作端312(操作ボタン・操作スイッチ)の縁部312aとほぼ同じ高さになっており、一目で床頭台1がロック状態で固定させていることが判る。この状態は、通常の病院等のベッド近傍に床頭台１が配置された状態で、操作端312がほぼ腰の近傍の高さにあり、誰でも簡単に操作できる位置にあるので操作も簡単である。また、従来のように各キャスターのロック状態を点検する必要もない。もっとも、操作端312は操作し易い高さであればよく、顔の高さでも良いが、部品が長尺になりコスト高になるのと、背の低い人や子供にとっては操作し難くなる。 This will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 (a) shows a state in which the lock is released. The operation end 312 above the operation rod 311 is a plane near the side edge plate 26a or the operation end 312. The two-wheel caster 4 of the floor head base 1 is free of wheels and the floor head base 1 is in a movable state at a glance, and the patient tries to stand up by grabbing on the floor head base 1 Turns out to be dangerous. FIG. 2 (b) shows a state of shifting from the released state to the locked state. The operating end 312 of the operating rod 311 is pushed below the plane near the side edge plate 26a or the edge 312a of the operating end 312. It is a state during operation. FIG. 2 (c) shows a locked state, in which the operation end 312 of the operation rod 311 is a plane near the side edge plate 26a, or almost the same height as the edge 312a of the operation end 312 (operation button / operation switch). It can be seen that the floor head 1 is fixed in a locked state at a glance. In this state, the floor head 1 is placed near the bed of a normal hospital or the like, and the operation end 312 is almost at the height near the waist, and anyone can easily operate it. It is. Further, it is not necessary to check the lock state of each caster as in the prior art. Of course, the operation end 312 may be any height as long as it is easy to operate, and may be the height of the face. However, when the parts are long and the cost is high, it is difficult for a short person or child to operate.

（キャスターノック部の操作部）
図３は、床頭台1の底板21の裏面の平面図で、前縁部の両側の一対の双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)、後縁部の両側の一対の双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)が取付けられる。
これらのキャスター4の外観概略図は、図４に示すようなもので、キャスター4の構成の詳細は後述するが、車輪ロック機構5の枠体51の両側に一対の車輪41a,41bがそれぞれ回転可能に軸支されており、ロック機構枠体51の上面には、キャスター4が取付枠に対して旋回可能に軸支するための旋回支持部52が設けられ、旋回支持部52の軸心Ｘと同軸に、上下動するノック部材531設けられており、ノック部材531を押し下げると双輪がロックされ回転することができず、ノック部材531を一旦押込んでからあげると、双輪のロックが解除され、双輪が自由に回転することができる。
ところで、本実施例で使用する双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)は、双輪の巾が単輪よりも広いので、単輪キャスターに比べて走行安定性があり、また、双輪の回転をロックすると進行方向は勿論のこと、双輪の巾が広いことから旋回阻止でき、特に、本実施例のように一対の双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)での各双輪の回転をロックすると(２箇所以上の箇所でロック)、前後左右の移動や旋回はロックされ、１箇所の双輪キャスターの固定では不十分である場合があるが、２箇所以上の場合はほぼ完全に床頭台1は所定の位置に固定される。 (Operation part of caster knock part)
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the back surface of the bottom plate 21 of the floor head base 1, and a pair of twin wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b) on both sides of the front edge and a pair of twin wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b on both sides of the rear edge). ) Is installed.
A schematic diagram of the appearance of these casters 4 is as shown in FIG. 4, and although details of the configuration of the casters 4 will be described later, a pair of wheels 41a and 41b rotate on both sides of the frame 51 of the wheel lock mechanism 5. A pivot support 52 is provided on the upper surface of the lock mechanism frame 51 so that the caster 4 can pivot with respect to the mounting frame. A knock member 531 that moves up and down is provided coaxially, and when the knock member 531 is pushed down, the two wheels are locked and cannot rotate, and once the knock member 531 is pushed in, the two wheels are unlocked, The twin wheels can rotate freely.
By the way, the twin-wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b) used in this embodiment are more stable than the single-wheel casters because the width of the two-wheels is wider than that of the single-wheel casters. In addition to the direction, it is possible to prevent turning because the width of the twin wheels is wide. In particular, when the rotation of each twin wheel on a pair of twin wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b) is locked as in this embodiment (two or more locations) ), Forward / backward / left / right movement and turning are locked, and fixing a single twin-wheel caster may not be sufficient, but if there are two or more places, the floor head 1 is almost completely fixed in place. Is done.

図３に戻って、床頭台1の底板21の裏面で、前縁部21aの両側の一対の双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)の操作部31を説明すると、双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)のキャスター取付枠部32が前記前縁部に沿って両側面にまで延びて設けられ、図５に示すように、キャスター取付金具321が取付枠部32の両端に設けられ、これらを連結する断面正方形の角棒33が軸受部材331(角棒33を嵌合した円筒部材)を介して、取付金具321の側面に回動自在に軸支されている。

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the swivel support portion 52 is a metal cylinder (pipe), and the tip end of the swivel support portion 52 is formed with a mounting edge portion 521 that spreads in the outer circumferential direction in advance. A fitting hole 321a of the metal fitting 321 is rotatably engaged. Subsequently, the upper snap ring 522 is inserted and fixed, and after inserting the member of the knock part 53 from below, the lower snap ring 523 is inserted and fixed to seal the knock part 53, and then swiveled. A turning assist washer 524 is inserted into the outer periphery of the support portion 52. Insert the knock part into the cylindrical hole mounting part 512 of the frame 51 from the top, and finally insert the shaft snap ring 525 into the rear end that protrudes inside the mounting hole 512 from the outside. While fixing to the body 51 with the horizontal pin 518, the frame 51 is attached with respect to the caster mounting bracket 321 so that rotation is possible.

旋回支持部52は、キャスターの旋回軸を構成するとともに、ノック部53を収納するが、このノック部53について図９、１０、１３乃至図１７に沿って説明する。
ノック部53は、主に、ノック部材531と上部カム体532(一体)、カム規制部材533、下部カム体534、下部カム体収容体535、噛合ロック部54を規制する連結部材536、連結部材536を押し上げるコイルバネ537から構成されている。

この上部カム体532を旋回支持部52の円筒内で上下方向にのみ滑らせるように規制するために、図１４(a)(b)に示すように、円筒状のカム規制部材533が設けられるが、内周面には前記縦溝532aが滑動するように、縦方向(軸線と平行）に凸状縦筋533aが１２０度の間隔で３本設けられ、その先端は次の下部カム体534のカム面の角度と同じ角度の刃形533bが形成され、横ピン518で旋回支持部52とともに枠体51に固着される。 The turning support portion 52 constitutes the turning shaft of the caster and houses the knock portion 53. The knock portion 53 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The knock part 53 mainly includes a knock member 531 and an upper cam body 532 (integrated), a cam restricting member 533, a lower cam body 534, a lower cam body accommodating body 535, a connecting member 536 for restricting the meshing lock part 54, and a connecting member. The coil spring 537 pushes up 536.
As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the knock member 531 and the lower upper cam body 532 are integrally formed of a coaxial cylindrical body, and as shown in FIG. 13 (a), the upper cam body. The outer diameter of 532 is slightly larger than the diameter of knock member 531, three vertical grooves 532a are provided in the vertical direction (parallel to the axis) at intervals of 120 degrees, and the lower end cam part is downwardly zigzag with 6 peaks and 6 valleys. The cam surface 532b is formed.
In order to restrict the upper cam body 532 to slide only in the vertical direction within the cylinder of the turning support portion 52, a cylindrical cam restriction member 533 is provided as shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b). However, three convex vertical streaks 533a are provided in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the axis) at intervals of 120 degrees so that the longitudinal groove 532a slides on the inner peripheral surface, and the tip thereof is the next lower cam body 534. A blade shape 533b having the same angle as that of the cam surface is formed, and is fixed to the frame body 51 together with the turning support portion 52 by a horizontal pin 518.

図１５(a)(b)に示すように、下部カム体534は円筒状であり、下部カム体534の外径寸法は上部カム体532と同じで、上部カム体532と同様に１２０度の間隔で３本の縦溝534aが縦方向(軸線と平行）に設けられ、下部カム体534の端部カム部は上向きに３山３谷の鋸刃状のカム面534bが形成され、下部底面534cにはその下の連結部材536の支柱536ｃが回転自在に係合される円筒状の円筒孔534dが設けられ、下部カム体534は円筒状の下部カム体収容体535内では上下方向及び回転自在に収納されている。
下部カム体534の下に位置(図９参照)する連結部材536は、図１６に示すように、基部536aは断面二段形状(Ｚ形状)で、上段の板上面536bには円筒孔534dに係合する支柱536cが立設され、上段の板下面536dにはコイルバネを係合する係合突起部536eが設けられ、この係合突起部536eと蓋部材516の係合突起部516dとの間にコイルバネ537が嵌合されている。また、基部536aの断面二段形状(Ｚ形状)の下段の板上面536fには車輪歯噛合ロック部54が跨って設置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the lower cam body 534 is cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the lower cam body 534 is the same as that of the upper cam body 532. Three vertical grooves 534a are provided in the vertical direction (parallel to the axis) at intervals, and the end cam portion of the lower cam body 534 is formed with a saw blade-like cam surface 534b of three peaks and three valleys upward, and the bottom bottom surface Cylindrical cylindrical hole 534d in which column 536c of connecting member 536 below is rotatably engaged is provided in 534c, and lower cam body 534 rotates in the vertical direction and in the cylindrical lower cam body container 535. It is stored freely.
As shown in FIG. 16, the connecting member 536 positioned below the lower cam body 534 (see FIG. 9) has a base portion 536a having a two-stage cross section (Z shape), and an upper plate upper surface 536b having a cylindrical hole 534d. Engaging struts 536c are erected, and an upper plate lower surface 536d is provided with an engaging projection 536e for engaging a coil spring, and between this engaging protruding portion 536e and the engaging projection 516d of the lid member 516 A coil spring 537 is fitted to the coil. In addition, a wheel tooth meshing lock portion 54 is disposed across the lower plate upper surface 536f of the base portion 536a having a two-stage cross section (Z shape).

(ノック機構の作動)
ノック部53は以上のような構成であるので、図１７に沿ってノック機構の作動を説明するが、基本的には２段の位置に固定する文房具のノック式ボールペンの機構に類似しているが、強度を維持する構造である点や後述する車輪歯噛合ロック部との関連では異なる構成となる。
(１)［ロック解除位置］
図１７(ａ)の状態は、ノック部材531が突出し連結部材536が上方位置にあるＹ１：ロック解除位置にある場合である。
この場合、カム規制部材533の凸状縦筋533a(図14参照)が、下部カム体534の縦溝534a(図15参照)に係合し、コイルバネ537によって連結部材536及び下部カム体534はカム規制部材533の奥まで押し込まれた状態になる。
(２)［ロックへの移行位置］
図１７(ｂ)の状態は、ノック部材531を押し込んで、Ｙ２：ロックへの移行位置にある場合である。
この場合、下部カム体534が上方にある状態ではカム規制部材533の凸状縦筋533a(図14参照)が下部カム体534の縦溝534a(図15参照)に係合しているので、回転はせずにそのまま下方に移動し、図１７(ｂ)の位置まで降下し凸状縦筋533aと縦溝534aの係合が外れ、上下の傾斜するカム面532bとコイルバネ537とによって、下部カム体534は矢印方向に３０度回動し、上部カム体532の谷部で止まる。
(３)［ロック位置］
そして、ノック部材531の押圧を解除してノック部材531を開放すると、更に、下部カム体534の回転(ほぼ３０度)し、カム面534ｂによって上部カム体532は上昇するが、カム規制部材533の凸状縦筋533a(図14参照)に対応する縦溝534a(図15参照)のある位置(１２０度）までは回転しておらず、その半分の６０度回転した位置で固定され、ノック部材531は図１７(ｃ)のＹ２：ロック位置の状態となる。
(４)［ロック解除への移行位置］
図１７(ｄ)の状態は、ノック部材531を押し込んで、Ｙ３のロック解除（Ｙ１）への移行位置にある場合である。
この場合、下部カム体534が下降したままの状態であるが、ノック部材531及び上部カム体532を押し込んで、下部カム体534はカム面534bとコイルバネ537とによって再び３０度回転し、ノック部材531の押圧を解除してノック部材531を開放すると、更に、下部カム体534の回転(ほぼ３０度)し、カム面534ｂによって上部カム体532は上昇し、この場合は、カム規制部材533の凸状縦筋533a(図14参照)に対応する縦溝534a(図15参照)のある位置(６０度＋６０度＝１２０度）まで回転することになるので、カム規制部材533の凸状縦筋533aが、下部カム体534の縦溝534aに係合し、コイルバネ537によって連結部材536及び下部カム体534はカム規制部材533の奥まで押し込まれたロック解除位置の状態になる。
以後は、ノック部材531を押し込んで、［ロック位置］→［ロック解除位置］→［ロック位置］→［ロック解除位置］を交互に繰り返す作動となり、下部カム体534はカム刃が１２０度であるので、３回作動を繰り返すとカム軸は３６０度回転して元の位置に戻り以後同様の作動を繰り返すことになる。 (Operation of knock mechanism)
Since the knocking portion 53 is configured as described above, the operation of the knocking mechanism will be described with reference to FIG. 17, but it is basically similar to the mechanism of the knocking type ballpoint pen of the stationery that is fixed at the two-stage position. However, it becomes a different structure in the point of the structure which maintains intensity | strength, and the relationship with the wheel tooth meshing locking part mentioned later.
(1) [Lock release position]
The state of FIG. 17A is a case where the knock member 531 protrudes and the connecting member 536 is at the upper position Y1: in the unlocked position.
In this case, the convex vertical stripe 533a (see FIG. 14) of the cam regulating member 533 engages with the vertical groove 534a (see FIG. 15) of the lower cam body 534, and the coupling member 536 and the lower cam body 534 are separated by the coil spring 537. The cam regulating member 533 is pushed into the back.
(2) [Transition position to lock]
The state of FIG. 17 (b) is a case where the knock member 531 is pushed in and is in the Y2: lock transition position.
In this case, since the convex vertical stripe 533a (see FIG. 14) of the cam regulating member 533 is engaged with the vertical groove 534a (see FIG. 15) of the lower cam body 534 in a state where the lower cam body 534 is on the upper side, It moves downward without rotation, descends to the position of FIG. 17B, disengages the convex vertical streaks 533a and the vertical grooves 534a, and the cam surface 532b and the coil spring 537 that are inclined up and down The cam body 534 rotates 30 degrees in the direction of the arrow and stops at the valley of the upper cam body 532.
(3) [Lock position]
When the knock member 531 is released and the knock member 531 is released, the lower cam body 534 is further rotated (approximately 30 degrees), and the upper cam body 532 is lifted by the cam surface 534b. It is not rotated to a position (120 degrees) where there is a vertical groove 534a (see FIG. 15) corresponding to the convex vertical stripe 533a (see FIG. 14). The member 531 is in a state of Y2: locked position in FIG.
(4) [Transition position to unlock]
The state of FIG. 17D is a case where the knock member 531 is pushed in and is in a position where Y3 is shifted to unlocking (Y1).
In this case, although the lower cam body 534 is still lowered, the knock member 531 and the upper cam body 532 are pushed in, and the lower cam body 534 is rotated 30 degrees again by the cam surface 534b and the coil spring 537, so that the knock member When the pressing of 531 is released and the knock member 531 is released, the lower cam body 534 is further rotated (approximately 30 degrees), and the upper cam body 532 is lifted by the cam surface 534b. Since it rotates to a position (60 degrees + 60 degrees = 120 degrees) of the longitudinal groove 534a (see FIG. 15) corresponding to the convex longitudinal stripe 533a (see FIG. 14), the convex longitudinal stripe of the cam regulating member 533 533a engages with the vertical groove 534a of the lower cam body 534, and the connecting member 536 and the lower cam body 534 are pushed into the cam regulating member 533 by the coil spring 537 to be in the unlocked position.
Thereafter, the knock member 531 is pushed in, and the operation is repeated alternately [lock position] → [lock release position] → [lock position] → [lock release position], and the lower cam body 534 has a cam blade of 120 degrees. Therefore, when the operation is repeated three times, the camshaft rotates 360 degrees and returns to the original position, and thereafter the same operation is repeated.

（車輪部及び車輪歯噛合ロック部）
連結部材536は、図１６に示すように、基部536aの断面二段形状(Ｚ形状)の下段の板上面536fには車輪歯噛合ロック部54が内歯車45に対向する位置(図１９を参照)に跨がって設置されているが、これをより詳しく説明すると、図１８に示すように、車輪歯噛合ロック部54は両側に歯型部543とその下端面に３本の下向きに歯部542が設けられ、両歯型基部543を掛け渡す基部544が下段の板上面536fを跨ぐように設けられ、基部544の上面546のほぼ中央部にはバネ係合部545にはバネ541が設けられ、常に下方に押し下げてる構成になっている。
したがって、車輪歯噛合ロック部54は、下段の板上面536fが下降するとこれに伴ってバネ541によって下降し、下段の板上面536fが上昇するとこれに伴って上昇する。なお、車輪歯噛合ロック部54の上下動は、枠体51に設けた車輪歯噛合ロック部54の収納部の側壁51aが案内部を構成しており、側壁51a（図１９）に沿って降下・上昇する。 (Wheel part and wheel tooth meshing lock part)
As shown in FIG. 16, the connecting member 536 has a position where the wheel gear meshing locking portion 54 faces the internal gear 45 on the lower plate upper surface 536f of the base section 536a having a two-stage cross section (Z shape) (see FIG. 19). 18), the wheel tooth-engagement lock portion 54 has a tooth-shaped portion 543 on both sides and three downward teeth on its lower end surface as shown in FIG. 542 is provided, and a base 544 that spans both tooth-type bases 543 is provided so as to straddle the lower plate upper surface 536f. It is provided and is always configured to be pushed downward.
Therefore, the wheel tooth meshing lock portion 54 is lowered by the spring 541 when the lower plate upper surface 536f is lowered, and is raised when the lower plate upper surface 536f is raised. In addition, the vertical movement of the wheel tooth meshing lock part 54 is such that the side wall 51a of the storage part of the wheel tooth meshing lock part 54 provided on the frame 51 constitutes a guide part and descends along the side wall 51a (FIG. 19). ·To rise.

一方、双輪キャスター４の片方の車輪部41は、図１９に示すように、車輪軸42は、枠体51の車輪軸受部511に回転自在に軸支され、車輪部41の車輪軸固定部43に固定される(車輪軸固定部43は、車輪を回転自在に軸支する構成でもよい。)。車輪部41の外輪44はゴム製で振動を吸収し走行を滑らかにし雑音を軽減している。
また、双輪キャスター４の車輪部41の内側の外輪近傍には、車輪軸に同心の内歯車45が形成され、車輪軸固定部43が下降した際には、内歯車45に歯部542が噛み合い車輪部41の回転を阻止する。
なお、車輪歯噛合ロック部54は、下段の板上面536fが下降するとこれに伴ってバネ541を介して下降する構成なので、下降した際に歯車の山と山とがぶつかった場合にはバネ541が逃げ機能を有して無理に歯部542が下降しないようにしており、また、ノック部材531が押し込まれた図１７でのＹ３：移行位置のような場合でもバネ541が逃げ機能を有していて無理に歯部542が下降しないようにしている。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19, in one wheel portion 41 of the twin wheel caster 4, the wheel shaft 42 is rotatably supported by the wheel bearing portion 511 of the frame 51, and the wheel shaft fixing portion 43 of the wheel portion 41. (The wheel shaft fixing portion 43 may be configured to rotatably support the wheel). The outer ring 44 of the wheel part 41 is made of rubber and absorbs vibrations to smooth running and reduce noise.
Further, a concentric inner gear 45 is formed on the wheel shaft in the vicinity of the outer ring inside the wheel portion 41 of the twin-wheel caster 4, and when the wheel shaft fixing portion 43 is lowered, the tooth portion 542 is engaged with the inner gear 45. The rotation of the wheel portion 41 is prevented.
Since the wheel tooth meshing lock portion 54 is configured to descend via the spring 541 when the lower plate upper surface 536f is lowered, the spring 541 when the gear crest collides with the spring 541 when it is lowered. 17 has a relief function so that the tooth portion 542 does not fall down forcibly, and the spring 541 has a relief function even in the case of Y3 in FIG. 17 where the knock member 531 is pushed in: a transition position. Therefore, the tooth portion 542 is prevented from being lowered.

以上の述べたように、本発明の実施例１では、操作桿311の操作端312を１回の押圧する操作で床頭台１の双輪キャスター４をロック状態、及び、解除状態にでき、簡単に床頭台１を固定及び解除ができ、また、固定及び解除する際にも看護師等が中腰になる必要がなく操作でき、更に、双輪キャスターのロック状態及び解除状態を一目で確認できる。特に、双輪キャスター４がロック解除状態である場合に、近傍の側縁板26aの平面より操作端(ボタン)312が突出するようにしたので、床頭台１が移動可能で不安定な状態であることを注意喚起することになる。 As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the two-wheel caster 4 of the floor head 1 can be brought into the locked state and the released state by pressing the operating end 312 of the operating rod 311 once. The floor head base 1 can be fixed and released at the same time, and it is possible to operate the nurse without having to be in the middle when fixing and releasing it. Furthermore, the locked state and the released state of the twin wheel caster can be confirmed at a glance. In particular, when the twin-wheel caster 4 is in the unlocked state, the operation end (button) 312 protrudes from the plane of the adjacent side edge plate 26a, so that the floor head base 1 is movable and unstable. It will alert you to something.

[実施例２]
次に、キャスターノック部の操作部が実施例１とは異なる実施例２を、図２０、図２１、図２２に示して説明する。
実施例２は、床頭台１のキャビネット部分では図２０に示すように、実施例１にテレビ26が追加されたもの以外は実施例１と同じであるので説明は省略する。
（キャスターノック部の操作部）
図２０に示すように、実施例１の操作部31とは異なり、実施例２の操作部31では、操作部31の回動バー34の腕は床頭台１の底部の前面方向に延び、この回動バー34の腕はキャビネット２の切欠部分27の下から上方に湾曲して、その先端に、足のつま先等で操作するペダル部36が設けられている。
そして、図２１、図２２に示すように、床頭台1の底板21の裏面では、双輪キャスター4(4a,4b)のキャスター取付枠部32が前記前縁部21aに沿って両側面にまで延びて設けられ、両端のキャスター取付金具321の中間位置には、角棒33を外部からの操作により回動させる回動レバー34が設けられ、前述のようにその腕の先端にペダル36が設けられ、他の構成は実施例１と同じであるから省略する。
実施例２では、１箇所の操作部の操作端であるペダル(部)36は、双輪キャスター４がロック状態である場合に、図２０、図２２に示すように、底板21の上平面21bとペダル部36の面は同じ水準で、互いに水平状態の水準にあり、双輪キャスター４がロック解除状態である場合に、ペダル部36の面が近傍の底板21の上平面21bより突出するように構成されている。このように、ペダル(部)36は、つま先で操作できるように床頭台１の前縁部の底板21の近傍に設けられ、ペダル(部)36を押すこと(１方向)によってのみ、双輪キャスターをロック状態とロック解除状態に互に操作できる。 [Example 2]
Next, a second embodiment in which the operation unit of the caster knock unit is different from the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 20, 21, and 22.
The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the television 26 is added to the first embodiment as shown in FIG.
(Operation part of caster knock part)
As shown in FIG. 20, unlike the operation unit 31 of the first embodiment, in the operation unit 31 of the second embodiment, the arm of the rotation bar 34 of the operation unit 31 extends in the front direction of the bottom of the floor head platform 1. The arm of the rotating bar 34 is curved upward from below the cutout portion 27 of the cabinet 2, and a pedal portion 36 that is operated by a toe of a foot is provided at the tip.
As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, on the back surface of the bottom plate 21 of the floor head base 1, the caster mounting frame portions 32 of the twin-wheel casters 4 (4a, 4b) extend to both side surfaces along the front edge portion 21a. A rotating lever 34 is provided at an intermediate position between the caster mounting brackets 321 at both ends to rotate the square bar 33 by an external operation. As described above, the pedal 36 is provided at the tip of the arm. The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are omitted.
In the second embodiment, the pedal (part) 36, which is the operation end of one operation part, is arranged such that when the twin-wheel caster 4 is in a locked state, as shown in FIGS. The surface of the pedal part 36 is at the same level and in a horizontal state, and the surface of the pedal part 36 is configured to protrude from the upper flat surface 21b of the nearby bottom plate 21 when the two-wheel caster 4 is unlocked. Has been. Thus, the pedal (part) 36 is provided in the vicinity of the bottom plate 21 at the front edge of the floor head 1 so that it can be operated with a toe, and only by pressing the pedal (part) 36 (one direction) The casters can be operated in a locked state and an unlocked state.

したがって、双輪キャスター４がロック解除状態である移動可能で不安定な状態にある床頭台１では、ペダル(部)36が近傍の底板21の上平面21bより突出するので、双輪キャスターの解除状態を一目で確認でき、特に、この最下段に冷蔵庫25を出し入れしてはならない状態であることが、使用者が容易に認識できる。特に、双輪キャスター４がロック解除状態である場合に、図２０に示すように、床頭台１の底部のペダル36(操作端)は、近傍の底板21の上平面21bよりペダル36が突出するようにしたので、床頭台１が移動可能で不安定な状態であることを注意喚起することになる。また、他の作用効果は実施例１と同じであるので説明は省略する。
なお、本発明の特徴を損なうものでなければ、上記の各実施例に限定されるものでないことは勿論である。例えば、角棒33の回動に実施例１では手先を、実施例２ではつま先で操作したが、電気的手段のモータ或いはソレノイドを用いてもよく、その場合は電源が必要ではあるが、プッシュスイッチ、或いは、ロータリスイッチはどこでも自由な位置に設置できる。また、角棒33を用いて一対の双輪キャスターのノック部材を操作したが、角棒33を用いず直接個々の双輪キャスターを同時に操作するようにしてもよく、更に、２個の双輪キャスターのみを操作したが、２以上の双輪キャスターであればよく、勿論全部の双輪キャスターのロック／解除を同時に操作するようにしてもよい。 Accordingly, in the floor head stand 1 in which the twin wheel caster 4 is in the unlocked state and is movable and unstable, the pedal (part) 36 protrudes from the upper surface 21b of the bottom plate 21 in the vicinity, so that the twin wheel caster is released. In particular, the user can easily recognize that the refrigerator 25 should not be put in and out of the lowermost stage. In particular, when the twin-wheel caster 4 is in the unlocked state, as shown in FIG. 20, the pedal 36 (operation end) at the bottom of the floor head base 1 protrudes from the upper plane 21 b of the nearby bottom plate 21. Since it did in this way, it will be alerted that the floor head stand 1 is movable and is in an unstable state. Further, since other functions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments as long as the features of the present invention are not impaired. For example, although the hand is operated with the tip in the first embodiment and the toe in the second embodiment for the rotation of the square bar 33, a motor or a solenoid as an electric means may be used. The switch or rotary switch can be installed anywhere. In addition, although the knock member of the pair of twin wheel casters is operated using the square bar 33, the individual twin wheel casters may be operated directly at the same time without using the square bar 33. Furthermore, only two twin wheel casters may be operated. Although operated, it is sufficient that two or more twin-wheel casters are used.
