It is desirable that a motor for rotating the rotating shaft be connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION As shown in FIG. 3, a body moving device 1 includes a support table 2 for supporting a sick person, a physically handicapped person, a bedridden elderly person, etc. in a lying state, and both sides of the support table 2. A pair of rotating shafts 3 rotatably arranged upward and parallel to each other, and both ends wound around the rotating shafts 3 to be loosely installed between the rotating shafts 3 on both sides, 3 that moves in the width direction with the rotation of the sheet 3.

The support base 2 is in the form of a bed. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a strip-shaped upright member 6 is erected at the front and rear ends of both sides thereof so as to face upward. A support plate 7 is provided at the upper end of each of them so as to project outward. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support plates 7 are mounted on both sides of each upright member 6 so as to oppose each other, and a support shaft 8 is provided between the lower portions of the opposing support plates 7. A locking projection 9 is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the support plate 7 so as to project upward. In addition, the upright member 6 is fixed to the frame of the support base 2 through a plurality of fixing holes 4 formed in the lower part thereof, but if necessary, the joint between the upright member 6 and the support base 2 is reinforced. A plate can be interposed.

Further, the lower end portion of the support post 10 is overlapped on the outer side surface of the upright member 6 between the opposing support plates 7, and is erected upright toward the side. The support post 10 is formed of a strip having the same width as the upright member 6, and as shown in FIGS.
1 is attached, and a long hole 12 is formed inside the metal fitting 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the support plate 7 is
Is supported so as to be able to move up and down, and as a result, the column 10 can be moved up and down and rotated outward in the width direction of the support base 2.

When the support shaft 8 is in contact with the inner edge of the locking projection 9 when the support shaft 8 is in contact with the upper end of the long hole 12, the engagement shaft 13 extends along the width direction on the inner side surface of the column 10. Be attached.

On the other hand, when the support column 10 rises and the support shaft support 8 comes into contact with the upper end of the elongated hole 12, the engagement shaft 13 reaches a position higher than the locking projection 9.

Accordingly, the support pillar 10 cannot fall down inward in the width direction of the support base 2 because the lower end portion thereof is in contact with the outer side surface of the upright member 6. In the state of being engaged with the inner edge of the locking projection 9,
It cannot rotate outward in the width direction. However, when the support 10 is forcibly raised to disengage the engagement shaft 13 and the locking projection 9, the support 10 can be tilted outward in the width direction of the support base 2.

A cylindrical body 14 is mounted on the outer surface of the upper end of the column 10, and the end of the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably inserted into the cylindrical body 14. The shaft 3 is arranged. One end of each rotating shaft 3 is connected to a motor 15 with a brake for rotating the rotating shaft 3, and the motor 15 is supported on an end face of the cylindrical body 14.

The both ends of the sheet 5 wider than the distance between the rotating shafts 3 are wound around the outer periphery of the left and right rotating shafts 3, and the sheets 5 are bridged between the rotating shafts 3. The sheet 5 is made of a tough material having a relatively large frictional force. In addition, since the seat 5 is loosely installed between the rotating shafts 3, when the pillars 10 on both sides are erected, the central portion of the seat 5 is slackened to form a concave portion, and the user can lie down in the concave portion. . When the user lies down, the seat 5 becomes tense due to the weight of the user.

When the motor 15 is driven, the rotating shaft 3
Rotate in both the forward and reverse directions, and the sheet 5 moves to both sides in the width direction with the rotation. In a state where the columns 10 on both sides are erected, since both sides of the seat 5 are erected in a wall shape, even if the seat 5 moves, the position movement of the user lying on the seat 5 is restricted. As a result, the body of the user is rotated on the spot to change the body position, and the part in contact with the support surface of the support base 2 is changed, so that bedsore does not occur.

When the user is to be moved from the body moving device 1 to another platform such as a stretcher, another platform is installed on one side of the support 2 and the support 10 on one side is folded down as described above to seat the seat. The upright end of one side of 5 is tilted, and the motor 15 is driven to move the sheet 5 to another table. Then, since the rising portion of the seat 5 that restricts the position movement of the user lying on the seat 5 is eliminated, the user's body moves toward another platform.

It should be noted that a crank-shaped handle may be connected to one end of the rotating shaft 3 instead of the motor 15, and the rotating shaft 3 may be rotated manually.

[0019]

According to the body moving apparatus of the present invention, the part which rotates the body of the user lying on the seat and comes into contact with the support table only by rotating the rotating shaft with the support upright. Therefore, the occurrence of pressure ulcer can be prevented, and the burden on the caregiver can be greatly reduced because there is no need to manually lift the user's body.

Further, when another table is installed on one side of the support table and the rotation axis is rotated in a state where the support on one side is tilted, the body of the user moves toward the other table with the movement of the seat. Therefore, it is possible to move the user's body to another table very easily.

Furthermore, since the support and the seat do not fall unless the support is forcibly raised, there is no fear that the user falls off the support table during use, and unexpected accidents can be prevented and safety can be prevented. high.
