Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a diaper changer, and more particularly to a diaper changer that can lift a foot and hold it in that position.

Bedridden people can't go to the bathroom on their own, so they need help from their family or caregiver to get to the bathroom.
For adults and young children who cannot go to the bathroom, it is common to wear diapers, but this requires a great deal of effort because both legs and heavy buttocks must be lifted to change the diaper.
Adults are especially heavy, so it is a tough job for weak women and caregivers.

Frequent urination occurs in old age. Therefore, they must be replaced frequently in the middle of the night, and the burden on the family is considerable.
It may be possible to put it in a facility to eliminate the burden on the family, but there are also financial problems and the fact that the person does not wish to do so, and this is not the case at present.
It is possible to use day services, but the burden on the family is the same because the family must take care of them at night, not during the day.

Conventionally, it is common practice to use a disposable diaper to reduce the burden on the family.
Although using a paper diaper reduces the burden on the family, changing a diaper requires lifting both legs and hips, which does not eliminate heavy labor.

Further, since the excrement contains a large amount of water, it is desired to provide a diaper changer having a clean overflow prevention structure.

The present invention is directed to solving the above problems, and provides a diaper changer that eliminates heavy labor in changing diapers and can easily change diapers by one person.
There is also a demand for a diaper changer having a configuration capable of treating clean filth when changing diapers.

The invention described in Patent Document 1 relates to a diaper changing assist tool, and specifically, a pair of belts is provided on a foldable seat body, and the belts are detachably hung on a chest or a torso of an infant. The diaper can be replaced by holding it in place.
However, Patent Document 1 does not refer to an invention, like the present invention, in which both feet can be lifted and the diaper can be changed while holding the positions thereof.

The invention described in Patent Document 2 relates to a disposable diaper, and specifically, a laminated sheet is formed by laminating a water-immersive sheet and a liquid-impermeable sheet, and it is possible to prevent clothes and futon from getting dirty with watery feces. The invention which is intended to be prevented is described.
However, the present invention merely relates to an improvement of the seat, and like the present invention, it is possible to hook both legs on a footrest rotatably attached to the back receiving main body and to change the diaper while maintaining that state. Is not described at all.

That is, an invention in which the diaper can be replaced while lifting both legs and holding the positions is not found in the prior art.
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and specifically to provide a diaper changer capable of changing a diaper with both legs lifted and their positions held.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a back receiving main body formed of plastic or the like and a footrest rotatably attached to the back receiving main body, and the upper surface of the back receiving main body is a body. It is curved so as to fit the back of the person, and the footrest is curvedly provided on the footrest.

Further, the present invention is a diaper changer in which a back support main body is attached to an upper base of a torsion spring and a footrest is attached to a lower base by a hinge, and the hinge is capable of adjusting its attaching position back and forth. ..

The present invention is capable of providing a diaper changer that can easily change diapers by one person because the present invention can hold both positions by lifting both legs and hooking them on the leg rests.
Therefore, it was possible to reduce the labor without changing the family and caregivers when changing diapers.

The figure which shows the use condition of the said other Example.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the entire diaper changing device of the present invention, in which 1 is a back receiving main body which holds the back of the entire body and is formed of plastic or urethane foam. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the back receiving main body 1 is formed with a back receiving surface 2 which is curved to fit the body of the back receiving main body 1.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the back receiving surface 2 is also curved in the front-rear direction so that the back is higher than the front and the hips are lifted.
The size of the curved portion 2 may be arranged in accordance with the size of the wearer's body, for example, the size of an adult, a child, or an infant. Moreover, this size is arbitrary.

Footrests 3 are rotatably attached to both sides of the backrest 1. The footrest 3 is made of a thick wire so as to have sufficient strength to support both feet when they are lifted. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the footrest 3 is formed with a foot receiving portion 4 which is curved according to the shape of the foot.
Reference numeral 5 is a pin rotatably attached to the side surface of the back receiving main body 1.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, 6 is a tray for receiving excrements such as feces prepared separately from the back receiving main body 1.
The tray 6 is made of resin or the like, and rising portions 61 that are bent upward are provided on four sides of the tray 6.
When the tray 6 receives excrement, the rising portion 61 prevents the dirt and water from leaking to the surroundings.

A sheet 7 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is placed on the tray 6.
The sheet 7 is a laminated sheet in which a moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric and a moisture-impermeable nonwoven fabric are stacked.
Since the moisture-permeable nonwoven fabric absorbs moisture contained in the dirt and also absorbs small water, it can be used cleanly and comfortably.
The moisture impermeable nonwoven fabric reliably prevents the moisture received by the permeable nonwoven fabric from leaking into clothing.
The non-woven fabric may be a woven fabric and may be made of any material as long as it absorbs moisture, such as gauze.

The sheet 7 has a size larger than that of the tray 6 so that the excretion part and water do not overflow even if the sheet 7 bends downward when receiving the excretion part.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a string attached to one side of the sheet 7, which is used to round and bind the sheet when the sheet 7 is discarded.

Next, a usage example of the diaper changer of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 6, the caregiver lifts his/her feet and puts the back of the body on the backrest main body 1.
Since the back receiving surface 2 of the back receiving main body 1 is raised rearward, the back and hips of the body are lifted as shown in the figure.
When both feet are hooked on the footrest 3 in this state, the hips can be kept in a raised state.
At this time, if the tray 6 on which the sheet 7 is placed is placed under the buttocks, the tray can surely receive excrement. Since the rising portion 61 is provided around the tray 6, there is no scattering of excretions containing water, so that the diaper can be changed cleanly.

In addition, since the back is configured to contact the back receiving surface 2, there is no one-sided contact compared with the case where the body contacts a flat back receiving surface (not shown), and the body is held stably. To be done.
Furthermore, since both feet are hooked on the legrests 3 when the back is lifted, it is not necessary for a person to lift it, and the burden on the caregiver and family is lightened.

In the above, a commercially available paper diaper can be used instead of the tray 6 and the sheet 7.
That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide the backrest body 1 with the footrest 3 rotatably, and other configurations can be variously modified within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

12 to 16 show another embodiment in which the mounting position of the footrest 3 can be adjusted.
It is to be noted that reference numerals that are the same as those in the above-described first embodiment and that are the same as those in the above-described embodiment are the same parts, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

In the figure, 10 is a torsion spring. Reference numeral 11 is a pin of a torsion spring, and a relatively strong spring, which is not shown but is strong enough to support the body, is attached to the pin 11.
Further, the torsion spring 10 is designed to stop at about 20 degrees or slightly above, and is designed to have sufficient strength to support the body for changing diapers.

Reference numeral 12 is a hinge whose position is adjusted back and forth, and is attached on the lower base 13 of the torsion spring 10.
The hinge 12 is formed of a wire bent in a U-shape, and supports the rotating shaft 14 of the footrest 3 so as to be movable back and forth and rotatably.

The rotating shaft 14 is inserted into the U-shaped space of the hinge 12 and is supported so as to be movable back and forth.
Therefore, the rotary shaft 14 can be adjusted back and forth, and thus the height of the footrest 3 can be adjusted according to the size of the body.

On the upper surface of the upper base 15 of the torsion spring 10, the above-mentioned back receiving main body 1 is adhesively placed as shown in FIGS.

Next, the usage state will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the state where the rotary shaft 14 of the footrest 3 is moved to the frontmost position of the hinge 12 is shown. In this case, since the foot is in a high position, it is possible to cope with a large person without difficulty.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, since the rotary shaft 14 is located at the rearmost position of the hinge 12, the footrest is at a low position, which is suitable for a small person.
As described above, the present invention is applicable not only to the size of a person, but also to change the diaper quickly and easily.

According to the present invention, as described above, since the backrest body is provided with the footrests, it is not necessary for the caregiver and the family to lift and hold their both legs when changing the diaper, and the labor of the caregiver and the family can be saved. ..
Further, since the mounting position of the footrest can be adjusted back and forth, the diaper can be easily and easily replaced regardless of the size of an adult, a child or an infant.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the configuration of one embodiment and the configurations of other embodiments, and includes modifications and applications that do not depart from the scope of the claims.
