DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a patient carrier capable of moving a patient to a desired place without imposing any burden on a patient lying on a bed or a caregiver.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 58-1447 and 62-64525 have proposed devices for moving a patient lying on a bed to a predetermined place, for example, a treatment room. Only the reduction of the burden on the patient and caregiver when moving the patient to the device is taken into consideration, and the reduction of the burden on the patient held by the device and carried to the treatment room is not considered at all.

[0003] It is a technical object of the present invention to provide a patient transporter that solves such problems.

[0004]

The gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A support 2 is erected on a movable base 1 and a plate-like bed 3 large enough to be placed on one side of the support 2 while the patient's body is lying down is placed horizontally. And the bed 3 is separable into an upper body placing section 4 on which the upper body of the patient is placed and a lower body placing section 5 on which the lower body of the patient is placed. The patient carrier is characterized in that the upper body mounting portion 4 and the lower body mounting portion 5 are provided so as to be reciprocally rotatable around the support 2 in the same plane.

[0006]

The upper body placing portion 4 and the lower body placing portion 5 are rotated with respect to the support 2 to position the upper body placing portion 4 and the lower body placing portion 5 on the other side of the support 2. In this state, the machine 1 is moved to the side of the bed 6, and then the bed 3 is raised and lowered to make the height of the bed 3 slightly higher than the bed 6.
The patient's upper body is lifted (see FIG. 1), and the upper body placing section 4 is rotated to be positioned on the bed 6, the patient is returned to the original state, and the patient is placed on the upper body placing section 4. The patient's upper body is placed (see FIG. 2), and then the patient's lower body is lifted, and the lower body placing section 5 is rotated and positioned on the bed 6 (see FIG. 3). The patient's lower body is placed on the upper part, and the patient is moved onto the bed 3 by the above steps, and the machine base 1 is moved to transport the patient to a desired place.

[0007]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings illustrate one embodiment of the present invention and will be described below.

The drawing shows a support rod 8 mounted on a frame with casters 7.
A support cylinder 9 is fitted on the support rod 8, and the support cylinder 9 is provided so as to be able to move up and down with respect to the support rod 8 by using a ball screw. A bed body 3 including a mounting portion 5 is provided, and an upper body mounting portion 4 and a lower body mounting portion 5 are provided.
The support rods 10 are erected on one side of the
It is a structure in which 11 ・ 11 and supporting rods 10 ・ 10 are pivotally connected.

The drawing shows a case in which the support 9 is moved up and down by electric power, and the upper body mounting part 4 and the lower body mounting part 5 are manually rotated. . The lifting and lowering of the support 9 is not limited to the ball screw, and a cylinder or the like may be employed.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a curved portion for preventing the buttocks from being pinched, and 13 denotes a bent portion of the upper body mounting portion 4 and the lower body mounting portion 5.

It is desirable that a magnet or the like be provided at the contact portion where the upper body mounting portion 4 and the lower body mounting portion 5 face each other.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention has the following advantages.

[0013] The burden on the patient and the caregiver is reduced both when the apparatus is moved from the bed to the bed and when the apparatus is moved to a desired location.

As described above, the present invention provides a patient transporter that can move a patient to a desired place without placing any burden on both the patient and the caregiver.
