DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a torso of a user, which is provided so as to straddle above a floor of a bed, and is provided with a slide table plate at a central portion of a table plate used as a dining table or accessory storage. The present invention relates to an overbed table having a structure in which a part can be inserted and having both elbows attached to a table plate at both ends to support a body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an sickroom has an overbed table provided with a table plate which is arranged so as to straddle above a floor of a bed so that a user can eat, read and write. There is. For example, as shown in FIG.
Some table boards 1 have a simple rectangular shape. Also,
As shown in FIG. 9, an arc-shaped depression 3 is formed so that the user's abdomen hits the table plate 2, and the user presses the torso abdomen against the depression 3 of the table plate 2, and Some are fitted with elbows to hold the body and make it easier to eat.

[0003]

However, the rectangular table plate 1 in the former overbed table is used.
In this case, since the user has no elbow rest and the body of the user is separated, the user is unsuitable when it is difficult to eat or maintain his / her own position. Also, in the latter overbed table, the area of the table plate 2 is too large,
When not in use, there are many inconveniences, such as taking up space.
The present invention has been proposed in view of such a background, and is disposed so as to straddle above the floor of a bed, and a slide table plate is provided at a central portion of a table plate used as a dining table or accessory storage, and used. It is an object of the present invention to provide an overbed table having a structure in which a torso of a person can enter, and having both elbows on both end side table boards to support the body.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method of supporting a table plate with a pair of columns and moving and adjusting the table plate vertically by adjusting and fixing means. In the overbed table, wherein the boards are arranged so as to straddle above the floor of the bed, in the overbed table, the table board is an end table board attached to the top of a pair of columns, and a table is provided between the end table boards. A slide table plate configured to be movable in the width direction of the plate, and by moving and protruding the slide table plate, a space is formed between the end table plates so that the upper body of the user can enter. In the above-described configuration, the slide table plate may be configured to include the substrate and the undulation table plate attached to the substrate so that the undulation can be adjusted.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of an overbed table according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overbed table 10.
Numeral 0 is arranged so as to straddle above a floor of a bed (not shown).
a and 11a are constituted by a table plate 13 held via columns 12, 12 which are mounted to be extendable and contractible. The pair of legs 11, 11 have base ends 11b, 1
1b, moving casters 14, 14 are attached and inserted so as to straddle the bed in the width direction of the bed on which the patient lays. It is designed to be moved to an accessible location.

The pillars 12, 12 are fixed at their tops to both ends of a table plate 13 whose longitudinal direction is longer than the width of the floor of the bed. In addition, the supports 12, 12 are provided on the table 13
The cylinders (not shown) constituting the gas springs (not shown) are built into the pillars 11a and 11a of the legs 11 and 11 so that the inside of the pillars 12 and 12 is maintained at an appropriate height. A retractable rod (not shown) is inserted through the cylinder, and the tip of the rod is
A release operation lever 15 for releasing the restraint of the rod portion at the attachment position on the table plate 13 of the second and the 12th.
The rod portion is set in a free state by the release operation lever 15, and the columns 12, 12 are moved up and down to fix and hold the table plate 13 at a desired position.

[0007] The table plate 13 is connected to the support 1.
End table plates 13a, 1 attached to the tops of 2, 12
3b and the end table plate 1 between the end table plates 13a and 13b so as to be slidable in the width direction of the table plate 13.
3a and 13b, and a slide table plate 13c. For example, a decorative plywood lined with melamine resin can be applied to the end table plates 13a and 13b.
And an up-and-down table plate 17 attached to the substrate 16 so as to be able to adjust up and down. This undulating table board 17
Is formed by a blow molded article made of, for example, PP (polypropylene). Further, a peripheral member 18 made of a soft and highly elastic resin (for example, urethane resin) is attached to the peripheral edges of the end table plates 13a and 13b and the slide table plate 13c. The slide table plate 13c and the end table plate 1
3a and 13b are connected to sliding grooves 19 provided in the end table plates 13a and 13b by slidably mounting projections 20 on opposite end surfaces of the substrate 16.

The undulating table plate 17 of the slide table plate 13c is a U-shaped stay 2 rotatably attached to the back surface of the undulating table plate 17 with respect to the substrate 16.
1 is selectively locked to a plurality of saw-tooth-shaped locking portions 22 provided on the substrate 16 side, so as to be held at a desired inclination angle.

The function and operation of the overbed table 10 configured as described above will be described.
First, the supporting height of the table plate 13 is adjusted so that the table plate 13 can be straddled on the bed on which the user lies in the floor width direction. In other words, the release operation lever 15 is operated at the place where the columns 12, 12 are attached to the end table plates 13a, 13b, so that the rod portion of the gas spring is in a free state, and the columns 12, 12 are moved from the pillars 11a, 11a. The table plate 13 is moved to a position where the table plate 13 can be reached by the moving casters 14 and 14 by adjusting the taking-in / out.

When the user raises his / her upper body by a back-raising mechanism or the like, the upper arm of the user can be placed on the table plate 13.
Can be eaten as a table and can also write. Further, the slide table plate 13c in the middle part of the table plate 13 is moved in the width direction of the table plate 13,
If it is made to push, end table boards 13a and 13b
The protrusion 20 on the opposite end face of the substrate 16 slides in the sliding groove 19 of the substrate 16 to bring the slide table plate 13c to a position protruding from the end table plates 13a and 13b. As a result, a space appears between the end table boards 13a and 13b, and the user can push the abdomen into this space. Therefore, the user can place his elbow on the end table boards 13a and 13b and hold the upper body. Further, by raising the undulating table plate 17 of the slide table plate 13c, the U-shaped stay 21 on the back surface of the undulating table plate 17 is locked at an appropriate locking position of the locking portion 22 on the substrate 16 side. At the desired tilt angle,
Since the up-and-down table board 17 can be held, the up-and-down table board 17 can also be used as a reading stand.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, the slide table plate is provided so as to straddle above the floor of the bed, and is provided at the center of the table plate used as a dining table or accessory storage. Thereby, in a state where the slide table board is slid, the user can apply the upper body, so that the user can support the body with both elbows,
It becomes easy to use.
