[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the case of bedridden elderly people, etc., the weight of the sick person is considerably heavy, while the caregivers are aging due to lack of human resources and physical fitness has deteriorated. It is very difficult and dangerous for a caregiver to bend down and lift a sick person in a slippery bathroom. However, it is not preferable from the standpoint of appearance that a device such as a mobile crane is permanently installed in the bathroom in advance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The entirety of the present invention is constituted by a backpack portion 1 and a mounting base portion 2, and as shown in FIG. A sick person can be placed on a platform 2 provided so as to be able to move up and down in a cross-legged state.

[0006] The backing part 1 is provided with a band 4 attached to a light rectangular frame 3 made of aluminum tube or the like.
At the upper end, a take-up shaft 5 is provided laterally, and as shown in FIG. 5, the caregiver manually rotates a handle shaft 6 which projects over the upper right shoulder of the take-up shaft. The platform 2 can be moved up and down through ropes 8, 8 wound around winding drums 7, 7 provided on the take-up shaft 5. In this case, the winding shaft 5 and the handle shaft 6 are connected via a worm gear 9 so as to be decelerated and rotate only from the handle side, as is apparent from FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, spacing members 10, 10 for holding the mounting portion 2 in a vertical state are attached to both side edges of the backing portion 1.
1, 11 are mounted on the shaft so as to be changeable in three directions of upright, horizontal, and hanging.

Next, the platform 2 has a horizontal seat 12 connected to a vertical rectangular frame, and a protective band 13 for gripping a sick person sitting on the horizontal seat 12. The platform 2 can be moved up and down along the backrest 1 by the ropes 8 and 8 as described above. Numerals 14 and 14 denote protrusions to be engaged with the notch portions of the spacing members 10 and 10, respectively.

[0008]

The present invention has the above-described structure. As shown in FIG. 2, the caregiver holds the sick person on the platform 2 and then carries the sick person via the backpack portion 1 to move the patient from the sickroom to the bathroom. 5 and stand on the bathroom floor so that the bathtub wall is sandwiched between the lower end of the backpack part 1 and the lower end of the mounting part 2 as shown in FIG. To the upright position, raise the right hand and raise the handle shaft 6
Is rotated to gradually lower the platform 2.

When the platform 2 reaches the bottom of the bathtub, the caregiver removes the carrying band 4 and carries the backing 1
From the body, and the supporting legs 11, 11 are turned to the horizontal state in FIG. 3 so that the backrest part 1 is set along the bathtub wall as shown in FIG. You can wash your body. In this case, the body of the sick person is relatively easy to handle because it is buoyant because it is underwater, but just in case, the caregiver should step on the tip of the support leg 11 with his toe for more stability. Is desirable.

Next, when the sick person is lifted from the bathtub, the caregiver carries the backpack portion 1 again, stabilizes the support legs 11, 11 in a hanging state, and then rotates the handle shaft 6 to rotate. After gradually putting up the pedestal portion 2 to bring the backrest portion 1 back to back, the support legs 11, 1
The patient 1 may be turned upward and transported to the hospital room as it is along the backpack portion 1.

As described above, the present invention allows the patient to move up and down without bending down while holding the sick person on the platform portion 2 and to transfer the temporary load to the support legs 11, 11, thereby facilitating transportation. Also safe in slippery bathrooms. The handle shaft 6 can be operated with the backrest 1 mounted thereon, and since the handle shaft 6 is decelerated by the worm gear 9, the handle shaft 6 can be rotated with a light force. Can be stopped and held, which is extremely efficient. Also, there is an advantage that any type of bath tub can be used, such as a stationary type or a buried type.
