For example, a shaft body is interposed inside the intersection of the side left seat plate 24a and the bottom left seat plate 24b so that the shaft body can be rotated. On the other hand, a return spring is interposed in the shaft body to restore the reverse of the folding motion. To enable movement. In addition, at the intersections of the side left seat plate 24a and the bottom left seat plate 24b, hypotenuses of 45 degrees are formed so that they intersect each other at the time of restoration and do not open any further.
The above aspect is exactly the same for the right / left seat plate 25.
This is because when the L-shaped left seat plate 24 and the right seat plate 25 rotate in the opening direction, a part of the L-shaped left seat plate 24 and the right seat plate 25 may collide with a surrounding surrounding frame, This is to avoid the possibility of collision between the seat plate 24b and the bottom right seat plate 25b and the lower left seat frame 21b and the lower right seat frame 22b.

The present invention is mainly intended for people who are difficult to walk on their own. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and includes those who find it difficult to put on and take off their trousers. In the first invention, the usage will be described on the assumption that at least one caregiver is attached to the care recipient.
If such a person stands in front of the toilet and uses a wheelchair, for example, he / she switches from the chair to the apparatus.
Then, it is seated on the seat plates 24 and 25 of the seat portion 20.

Next, in this apparatus, in order to support the care receiver's posture, first, both arms of the care receiver are raised, and the posture is such that the support plate is sandwiched therebetween.
The motor M3 is started and the left screw screw 35a and the right screw screw 35b provided on the holder plate 33 disposed on the front surface of the back plate 31 of the backrest 30 are rotated to move the meshed left slider 34a and right slider 34b up and down. The left support plate 37a and the right support plate 37b are adjusted to a height that exactly matches the person's height.
Further, the motor M4 is started, and the left support plate 37a and the right support plate 37b projecting from the upper horizontal groove 36a and the lower horizontal groove 36b of the holder plate 33 are slid in the left and right directions to match the back width of the person. Adjust to the dimension width.
