Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a switch panel for performing an up / down operation such as a tilt of a bed in a hospital or the like, and more particularly to a switch panel in which switch operation is easy.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When performing an up-and-down operation such as raising a head of a bed, raising a foot, or tilting a bed in a hospital or the like, it is performed by pressing a switch on a switch panel. Such a switch panel is usually fitted on a headboard or footboard of a bed and operated by an attendant such as a nurse.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned switch panel has a drawback that it is difficult to perform the switch operation because the height of the switch panel fitted is considerably lower than the line of sight.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a bed switch panel in which the switch panel face is inclined obliquely upward to facilitate the switch operation and the disadvantages of the prior art are improved.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a switch panel for raising and lowering a bed, which is mounted by being fitted to an arbitrary position of the bed. A frame and a switch panel which is fitted into the frame and is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the frame. A locking piece protrudes inward from the back side of the frame, and the switch is provided. A stopper spring piece is attached to each side of the panel, and the tip of the stopper spring piece is bent in a U-shape to form a locking groove, and a protrusion is provided at an arbitrary position inside the locking groove. When the switch panel is closed, the projection is pressed against the locking piece to lock the switch panel in a closed state, and when the switch panel is opened, Beyond the locking piece projections, and it falls into the engaging groove, characterized in that it is locked in a state where the switch panel is open.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a switch panel according to the present invention mounted on a bed by being fitted to a foot board, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 shows a rear perspective view of the switch panel in a closed state, and FIG. 4 shows a rear perspective view of an open state of the switch panel according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a switch panel, which is mounted by being fitted to a foot board 2 of a bed, and includes a frame 3 and a panel 4 fitted in the frame 3. The panel 4 is rotatably mounted on the upper side 3a of the frame 3 by, for example, a hinge 5 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, locking pieces 9 projecting inward are provided on the rear side 3a of the frame 3, and spring pieces 10 and 10 for stoppers are provided on both sides of the panel 4.
Is attached.

The stopper spring piece 10 is formed as an elongated strip made of, for example, spring steel, and its tip is bent in a U-shape to form a locking groove 11.
A protrusion 12 is formed at an arbitrary position inside, that is, at a base side, to constitute the switch panel 1 according to the present invention.

[0010]

The switch panel 1 constructed as described above
When the cover is closed, the projection 12 is pressed against the locking piece 9 as shown in FIG.

When the switch is operated, FIG.
Insert the finger of the hand 7 into the outlet 6 as shown in FIG.
Is pulled out (in the directions of arrows A and B), as shown in FIG. 4, the locking piece 9 exceeds the projection 12, that is, the projection 12 is pushed by the locking piece 9 and the stopper spring piece 10 is bowed. The locking piece 9 is dropped into the locking groove 11. At this time, the panel 4 is locked in the open state, and the open state of the panel 4 is maintained even when the switch 8 is pressed. Therefore, the switch 8 can be operated with the panel 4 obliquely upward and the switch operation becomes easy.

When the panel 4 is stored in the frame 3 when the panel 4 is pressed (in the direction of arrows A and B in FIG. 2),
Contrary to the above, the projection 12 is pushed by the locking piece 9 and the locking piece 9 exceeds the projection 12, and the panel 4 returns to the state of FIG. 3 and is locked in the closed state.

[0013]

As described above, since the switch panel of the present invention can be operated with the panel surface obliquely upward when the switch is operated, the switch operation becomes easy.

Claims (3)

(57) [Scope of request for utility model registration] 1. A switch panel for operation of raising and lowering a bed, which is mounted by being fitted into an arbitrary part of the bed, being fitted into a frame frame and the frame frame, and being rotatable above the frame frame. A lock panel is attached to the frame frame, and a locking piece is protruded inward from the back side of the frame frame, and a spring piece for a stopper is mounted on both sides of the switch panel. A tip is bent in a U-shape to form a locking groove, and a projection is formed at an arbitrary position inside the locking groove. When the switch panel is closed, a projection is formed on the locking piece. Are pressed against each other to lock the switch panel in a closed state, and when the switch panel is opened, the locking piece goes over the protrusion and falls into the engagement groove to open the switch panel. A switch panel for a bed, which is locked when the bed is in a closed position. 2. The switch panel according to claim 1, wherein said stopper spring piece is an elongated strip. 3. The switch panel according to claim 2, wherein the stopper spring piece according to claim 2 is formed of spring steel.
