A seat face area for a patient M formed by the surface material is uniform and only thicknesses of the respective layers of a fluid cushion body are individually expanded/contracted due to individual expansion/contraction of the expandable side face material according to individual fluid injection amounts by the fluid supply means with respect to the respective fluid bags.

Description

本発明は、歯科診療椅子用流体膨縮式多段クッション及び流体膨縮式多段クッション付歯科診療椅子に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a fluid expansion / contraction multistage cushion for a dental medical chair and a dental medical chair with a fluid expansion / contraction multistage cushion.

歯科診療ユニットに患者を導き、歯科診療椅子の座面に患者を座らせて歯科診療を行う際、歯科診療ユニットの歯科診療椅子は一般成人の平均的身長に対応して作られている為、例えば身長150cm以下の背の低い人、身体が不自由な人等の患者の場合、その頭部(口腔部)の高さが一般成人の場合よりも低い。このため、歯科診療椅子のヘッドレストに後頭部が正しく収まらず、当該患者の口腔位置が不安定となり、歯科医師は歯科診療を的確・安全に行えず、さらに歯科診療ユニットにおけるスピットンの位置は当該患者の口腔の位置より相対的に高位置となってしまい、この結果、当該患者がうがい水をスピットン内に吐くことが困難となる事態が発生している。   When the patient is guided to the dental care unit and the patient is seated on the seat of the dental care chair to perform the dental care, the dental care chair of the dental care unit is made corresponding to the average height of a general adult, For example, in the case of a patient such as a short person having a height of 150 cm or less or a person with a physical disability, the height of the head (oral part) is lower than that of a general adult. For this reason, the back of the head does not fit correctly in the headrest of the dental clinic chair, the oral position of the patient becomes unstable, the dentist cannot perform dental treatment accurately and safely, and the position of Spitton in the dental clinic unit is As a result, there is a situation in which it is difficult for the patient to discharge gargling water into the spit.

また、例えば背の低い患者の場合、歯科診療椅子のバックレストを倒した後に、当該患者の頭部をヘッドレストに正しく収納保持するために、当該患者の脇部に手を入れて当該患者の身体を引き上げヘッドレストに頭部を載せるという煩雑な事態も生じている。   Also, for example, in the case of a short patient, after the backrest of the dental examination chair is turned down, the patient's body is put into the side of the patient in order to store and hold the head of the patient correctly in the headrest. There is also a complicated situation where the head is lifted and the head is placed on the headrest.

このような事態に対処するために、図11に示すように、エアーの注入状態で各区画の形状(断面形状)が略円形となるクッション部を6区画分連設したエアークッションを診療椅子の座面に置き、このエアークッション51上に患者を座らせ、歯科診療を行うことも一案であるが、このエアークッション51の場合、以下のような不都合な事態が生じる。   In order to cope with such a situation, as shown in FIG. 11, an air cushion in which cushion sections whose shape (cross-sectional shape) of each section is substantially circular in a state of injecting air is provided for six sections is provided on the medical chair. Although it is one idea to place the patient on the air cushion 51 and sit on the air cushion 51 to perform dental treatment, the air cushion 51 causes the following inconvenient situation.

すなわち、前記エアークッション51の1区画の幅について考察すると、図12に示すように、前記エアークッション51にエアーを注入しないときには、1区画の幅W1=略πrと近似できる。
一方、前記エアークッション51にエアーを入れて膨らますと、その形状は断面略円形となり、1区画の幅W2=2rとなる。
That is, considering the width of one section of the air cushion 51, as shown in FIG. 12, when air is not injected into the air cushion 51, the width W1 of one section can be approximated to approximately πr.
On the other hand, when air is blown into the air cushion 51, the shape becomes substantially circular in cross section and the width W2 = 2r of one section.

したがって、エアーの注入の有無による1区画の幅の変化はW2/W1=2r/πr=0.64となり、エアーの注入により1区画の幅は、略0.64倍に縮減してしまう。   Therefore, the change in the width of one section due to the presence or absence of air injection is W2 / W1 = 2r / πr = 0.64, and the width of one section is reduced to about 0.64 times by the air injection.

この結果、エアークッション51全体の幅W0についても同様に略0.64倍に縮減してしまうことになる。   As a result, the width W0 of the entire air cushion 51 is similarly reduced to approximately 0.64 times.

このようにエアーの注入の有無により、エアークッション51全体の幅(ここでは当該患者の大腿部の長さ方向とする)W0が40%近くも変化してしまうと、歯科診療椅子の座面に座る当該患者の座位が安定化せず、当該患者の頭部(口腔部)の高さを適正位置(歯科診療時の当該患者の口腔位置、また、当該患者がうがい水をスピットン内に容易に吐くことができる位置)とすることは困難となってしまう。   If the width of the entire air cushion 51 (in this case, the length direction of the thigh of the patient) W0 changes by nearly 40% due to the presence or absence of air injection, the seat surface of the dental examination chair The sitting position of the patient does not stabilize, the height of the patient's head (oral part) is set to an appropriate position (the oral position of the patient at the time of dental treatment, and the patient can easily gargle water in the spitton. It is difficult to set the position to be able to vomit.

特許文献1には、歯科用治療椅子のバックレスト及びコンターシートの上面にエアーバッグを配設し、該エアーバッグに導入するエアーの量を患者自身が操作できる操作スイッチにより調節して、そのエアーバッグを患者の好みや体形に合ったエアークッションとして使用できるようにした発明が開示されている(特許文献1:図1等)。   In Patent Document 1, an air bag is provided on the upper surface of a backrest and a contour seat of a dental treatment chair, and the amount of air introduced into the air bag is adjusted by an operation switch that can be operated by the patient himself. An invention has been disclosed in which a bag can be used as an air cushion suitable for a patient's preference and body shape (Patent Document 1: FIG. 1 and the like).

しかし、この特許文献1の歯科用治療椅子の場合においても、例えば背の低い人、身体が不自由な人、麻酔を受けた人等多様な身体的特徴を有する個々の患者に的確に対応することは困難であると推定される。   However, even in the case of the dental treatment chair disclosed in Patent Document 1, it can accurately correspond to individual patients having various physical characteristics such as a short person, a physically handicapped person, and an anesthetized person. It is estimated that this is difficult.
