2. Description of the Related Art A stretcher used for moving a sick person, a bedridden elderly person, or a patient after surgery in a hospital ward is installed on the floor of a bathroom so that the patient can easily take a bath. For example, there is a stretcher for a bathing apparatus which is arranged so as to straddle a lift-type bath tub and raises the bath in this state to bathe a patient in a reclining state. A pillow is attached to the upper front end of the bath apparatus stretcher so that the patient can be stably placed in a supine position.

[0003]

Conventionally, a pillow attached to a stretcher for a bathing apparatus has a pillow core material made of a flexible material such as a sponge having an upper portion formed in an arc shape or a rectangular shape. It is of a structure covered with a non-woven cloth cover, and the pillow core material such as sponge changes shape relatively freely, so when the patient changes posture,
There was a problem that the patient's head slipped off the pillow. In addition, the nylon cloth cover that covers the surface of the pillow has a slippery surface, which is one of the factors that make it easier for the patient's head to slip off the pillow.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a stretcher for a bathing apparatus that has a good sitting comfort of the patient's head, does not cause the patient's head to slip off the pillow, and has a hard touch and a comfortable touch. The purpose is to provide a pillow.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the patient is placed above the bath tub while the patient is placed thereon, and in this state, the patient is placed in the bathing state by raising or lowering the bath tub or the stretcher. A pillow attached to a stretcher for a bathing device, wherein the mat is made of a hard resin pillow core material attached to the stretcher for a bathing device by a fixing means, and a flexible material put on an outer periphery of the pillow core material. It is characterized by comprising a cover, and a recess for receiving a patient's head is formed substantially at the upper center of the pillow core material.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the mat cover is made of a porous material having a closed cell structure.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the pillow core material and the mat cover which covers the outer periphery of the pillow core material have a double structure, and the recess is provided at a substantially upper center of the hard resin pillow core material. The head of the patient placed above the head is well seated. Further, since the head cover is not directly placed on the pillow core material but the mat cover made of a flexible material is interposed therebetween, the patient can obtain a good contact feeling without receiving a hard touch from the pillow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a pillow of a stretcher for a bathing apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the pillow.

As shown in these figures, the pillow according to the present invention is placed above the bathtub with the patient on it as shown in FIG. 4, and either the bathtub or the stretcher is raised and lowered in this state. Thereby, it is attached to the stretcher S for a bathing apparatus which makes a patient a bathing state. The stretcher for a bathing apparatus shown in FIG. 4 is of a type in which a bathtub is raised to put a patient in a bathing state.

The pillow 1 according to the present invention comprises a pillow core material 2 made of hard resin and a mat cover 3 which is put on the outer periphery of the pillow core material. The pillow core material 2 is made of a hard resin material having high impact properties in a hollow box shape having no bottom. The upper part of the pillow core material 3 is formed so as to be inclined so as to gradually decrease from both sides toward the center, and a recess 2a is formed substantially at the center thereof.
Are formed. The curvature of the recess 2a is set to a value slightly larger than the curvature of the back of the head of the person. A pillow fixing plate 4 for fixing the pillow 1 to the stretcher S for bathing is provided at the bottom of the pillow core material 2. Attached by. Nuts 7, 7 are attached to the lower surface of the pillow fixing plate 4.

Large diameter portions 2b are formed on the left and right sides of the upper part of the pillow core material 2, and the mat cover 3 is prevented from lateral displacement so as to be located between the large diameter portions 2b. Are located. The male sides 8 and 8 of the magic tape are attached to both ends of the back surface of the mat cover 3, and the male sides 8 and 8 of the magic tape are female sides 9 and 9 of the magic tape attached to the lower surface of the pillow fixing plate 4. , The mat cover 3 is fixed to the pillow core material 2.

The mat cover 3 is made of a flexible material, and is preferably made of a porous material having a closed-cell structure having flexibility and waterproofness.

The pillow 1 having the above structure is positioned at the tip of the back portion Sa of the stretcher S for a bathing apparatus, and in this state, a butterfly is provided to pass through the back portion Sa from the back side of the back portion Sa. By screwing the tip of the screw 10 to the nut 7 attached to the pillow fixing plate 4,
It is assembled to the stretcher S for bathing equipment.

Thus, in the pillow 1 having the above structure, the pillow core material 2
And a mat cover 3 covering the outer periphery of the pillow core material 2.
Since it is a heavy structure, and the recess is provided substantially at the center of the upper part of the pillow core material 2, the patient's head placed above the pillow core member 2 has good sitting, and the patient's head is directly placed on the pillow core material 2. Since the mat cover 3 made of a flexible material is interposed between the pillows, the hard touch of the pillow core 2 is not transmitted to the patient, and a good contact feeling can be obtained.

Further, when the mat cover 3 is made of a porous material having a waterproof property and having a closed-cell structure, even if the mat cover 3 is exposed to water, the mat cover 3 absorbs water. It is suitable for washing a patient's hair while resting on a stretcher without causing any wrinkles.

Further, by loosening the thumbscrew 10 and removing it from the nut 7, the pillow 1 can be easily removed from the stretcher S, and the pillow 1 itself can be washed as a whole. In addition, since the mat cover 3 is attached to the pillow core material 2 through the magic tape, the mat cover 3 can be removed from the pillow core material 2 and is easily stained.
It is particularly advantageous when washing only.

In the above embodiment, the pillow 1 is attached to the thumb screw 10
Is attached to the stretcher S for a bathing apparatus, but is not limited to this, and may be a structure attached with a fixed band 20 as shown in FIG. In this case, the fixing band 20 is formed by a lateral hole 20a formed on the side of the
The pillow may be pulled out to the left and right sides of the pillow, and attached so as to embrace the stretcher S for bathing apparatus as shown in the figure.

In the above-described embodiment, the mat cover 3 is attached to the pillow core material 2 with a magic tape.
The present invention is not limited to this, and may be attached by other fixing means such as a rubber band. Further, a hole for draining water may be provided at the center of the recess 2a formed substantially at the center of the pillow core material 2.

[0019]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the recess is provided substantially at the center of the upper part of the pillow core material, the patient's head placed above the pillow core has good sitting comfort, and is directly connected to the pillow core material. Since the mat cover made of a flexible material is interposed between the pillow and the head, the patient can obtain a good contact feeling without receiving a hard feeling from the pillow.

In the invention according to the second aspect, the mat cover is made of a porous material having a closed-cell structure and has both flexibility and waterproofness. Washing is also easy.
