Description

  The present invention is used when an elderly person or a physically handicapped person transfers a wheelchair from a bed, changes a seat to a lift or a chair, etc., erects a person who is in a sitting position, guides it to the destination, and uses it It relates to standing assistance.

  Standing aids are generally used when a person who is difficult to stand up stands, moves in a wheelchair, or sits on a lift or chair. Depending on the physical condition of the caregiver, the lift device that supports the overall weight, the standing assistance mechanism attached to the wheelchair, the spring-up seating surface using the spring, the assist device that causes the foot to be fixed, the tow band that is caused by the helper (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) are disclosed.

  Among these, the traction band is less expensive than other methods, and has the advantage that it can be used in various situations because it is lightweight and portable.

  In the traction band shown in Patent Document 1, a waist band is attached to a person being assisted in a sitting posture, and then the traction band is caused to be inclined upward in the waist band, thereby guiding the assistant to a standing posture.

  In the traction band shown in Patent Document 2, instead of the waist band of Patent Document 1, the traction band has an assistance band body composed of a waistband band and a buttocks band band, and causes the traction band attached to the assistance band body to be obliquely upward, Guide the assistant to a standing posture.

  In the clothes for the caregiver and the care recipient shown in Patent Document 3, standing assistance is facilitated by attaching a band-shaped grip portion to the apron of the caregiver and the pants of the care recipient.

  However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is advantageous in that the assistant can grab the tow band and cause the person to be assisted, but the person to be assisted must be lifted during wearing. In addition, there is a problem that the burden on the caregiver is heavy and pressure is applied to the cared person in the narrow area of the band, and there is a risk of fracture in elderly people with weak bones, and the caregiver tends to become unstable during operation .

  In the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 devised to solve this problem, it can be attached to the person being assisted relatively easily without making a mistake in the direction, and enables a stable triggering operation. Although it is beneficial, it does not eliminate the hassle of wearing work and does not leave the area of special tools that need to be learned. For an assistant who is accustomed to work caused by his / her own body, it may not always contribute to the reduction of work.

  In the method disclosed in Patent Document 3 devised in order to make it possible to always wear, a handle is placed on the waist and the back of the garment and apron worn by the caregiver, and the trousers worn by the caregiver. I'm wearing it. The caregiver grips the lower back handle with one hand and the lower back handle with the other hand. This is advantageous in that it saves the labor of wearing, but the method of pulling up with the back of the waist is not a preferable method because clothes may bite into the crotch of the person being assisted and cause physical and mental pain. Pants or trouser-like devices that are easy to lift while using only the handles on both sides are desirable.

  Therefore, in the present invention, there is provided a stand-up assisting device that eliminates the troublesomeness of the above-described mounting work and can support standing-up at any time with a clothing or supporter-like shape that can be worn daily by a care recipient. The purpose is to provide. By devising how to attach the handle, it is possible to provide an assisting device that enables easy standing assistance and transfer assistance only by the handle on the side surface.

  The present invention has a seat surface part that wraps a pants-like garment or supporter-like buttocks that does not become uncomfortable even if it is always worn by the person being assisted, and has a pulling band for a person to be grasped by the person on the side to cause the movement. The main feature is to wrap and support the thigh from the waist of the person being assisted.

  The traction bands attached to both sides of the side are arranged such that the gripping position of the assistant is lower than the pigeon tail of the seated assistant. This is necessary to lift the buttocks by pulling the person's buttocks forward and diagonally forward.

  One end of the traction band attached to both sides of the side part is attached to the hip side near the greater trochanter of the femoral neck or the upper iliac area, and the other end is fixed to the vicinity of the center of the femur when standing.

  Similarly, it must be strong enough to support the weight of the person being assisted by tightly joining the tow band and a strong fabric that wraps around the buttock.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the pants or trousers that wrap at least the buttocks with a cloth having a strength capable of supporting the weight of the person being assisted, and the person being assisted by the assistant who is firmly coupled thereto are seated. By being composed of a tow band attached to the side of the waist of the person being assisted, it is possible for the person being assisted to stand up at any time while being in the pants or trousers that the person is to wear on a daily basis during the action caused by the person being assisted Become.

  At this time, the attachment position of the traction band to be gripped to cause the person being assisted is raised by attaching one end to the femoral neck or above and the other end to a position near the femoral center. In some cases, the risk of getting caught is lowered, and in the seated state, it is loosened and slanted to the side of the waist of the person being assisted, making it easier to grasp and lift the handle in the assistance operation. According to the inventor's study, an effective method of standing assistance is to lift the person to be rotated in the direction of 45 degrees diagonally by the operation of the assistant tilting the center of gravity backward with the handle. It is desirable to be easy to hold in operation.

  As a state that is naturally realized at the above-mentioned attachment position, the gripping position of the tow band that is gripped to cause the person being assisted comes to a position lower than the pigeon tail of the person being assisted. Accordingly, it is possible to stably support the waist of the person being assisted and to perform the action naturally by causing the assistant to move weight backward. According to the inventor's study, if the grip position is higher than the pigeon tail, the center of gravity movement of the assistant cannot be effectively used.

It is a front view which shows the standing assistance tool in embodiment of this invention. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the traction band attachment position and frame | skeleton in embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the standing assistance tool in embodiment of this invention. It is a side view at the time of seating in the embodiment of the present invention. It is a side view which shows the use condition of the standing auxiliary seat surface in embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the standing assisting tool A of the present invention includes a pants or trouser-like portion 1 and a traction band 2.

  Then, both ends of the traction band 2 on the left and right waists are firmly coupled to the pants or trouser-like portion 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the upper end 3 is attached at a position near the iliac 6 above the femoral neck 5, and the lower end 4 is attached near the center of the femur 7.

  As described above, it is possible to always wear the pants or the pants-like portion, and the labor for wearing can be saved.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a) and FIG. 3, the traction band 2 is not easily caught along the side when standing, but is loosened and tilted as shown in FIG. 2 (b) or FIG. Easy to hold and lift.

  Further, if the gripping position of the traction band 2 is too high, it is difficult to cause the weight of the caregiver to move backward, but as shown in FIG. 5, it is lower than the pigeon tail of the caregiver 8, for example, near the femoral neck. It can be caused by grasping the pulling band of the standing assisting tool A of the present invention in an appropriate position and moving the weight of the assistant 9 backward.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, with respect to the attachment position of the traction band 2, by attaching the upper end 3 to the vicinity of the femoral neck 5 or the iliac 6 above it and the lower end 4 to the vicinity of the femur 7 center, In the standing state of the person being assisted, it first follows the side portion, but in the seated state, the band is loosened and the upper end and the lower end are inclined so that it can be easily grasped and lifted.

  Below, the component of the standing auxiliary seat surface which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the pants or trouser-like part 1 has a shape that can be worn on a daily basis as a garment, and can be supported without being torn even when the weight of the person being assisted is applied during the raising operation with standing assistance. It consists of cloth made of strong materials such as denim.

  In addition, the shape and structure of the pants or trouser-like part can be selected as appropriate. For example, the pants or pants-like part can be selected as a short pan up to the knee, or a mesh fabric can be introduced into a part to maintain air permeability. good.

  The tow band is a handle that is held by the assistant when assisting the person being erected, and is made of synthetic fiber such as denim or nylon, resin, leather, or the like that cannot be cut even during the raising operation.

  The pants or trouser-like part and the traction belt must be connected to each other with a strength capable of supporting the weight of the person being assisted by a strong thread and sewing method.

  The shape and material of the traction band can be selected as appropriate, but it is preferable that the position grasped by the assistant during the raising operation is near the femoral neck lower than the pigeon tail of the person being assisted.

  By attaching the traction band so as to be in an appropriate gripping position as described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the assistant 9 moves the body weight within a reasonable range in which the assistant 9 does not bend too much and does not warp too much. It becomes possible to cause. Attaching to the side of the thigh as in the present invention is effective in effectively performing this weight shift. According to the study by the inventor, when a handle is attached to the buttocks, weight shift cannot be sufficiently performed as compared with the case where the handle is attached to the side.

  Next, the usage example of the standing assistance tool which concerns on 1st embodiment mentioned above is demonstrated below.

  First, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the assistant 9 grasps the left and right traction bands in a state where the arm is extended from the front of the person 8 who is wearing the standing assistance tool of the present invention. At this time, it is preferable that the axis foot of the assistant is placed between the feet of the assistant, and the assistant turns his hand to the assistant's back.

  Next, the assistant pulls the other leg not on the person being assisted on the back side with the arm extended moderately, and moves the center of gravity rearward about the shaft leg as shown in FIG. 5B.

  By the movement of the center of gravity, the person being assisted is naturally raised and can be guided to stand, and the burden on the arm and waist is not imposed on the person who is assisted.

  In addition, unlike the conventional standing assistance tool, the standing assistance tool of the present invention saves labor for wearing because the person being assisted is always in use, so the work efficiency is good and the contact area to the person being assisted is small. Because of its large size, it has high stability when standing up.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, it should be understood that modifications, changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
