2. Description of the Related Art When nursing a sick person in a hospital or at home, there are cases where the patient turns over, raises his / her legs, or raises his / her legs to prevent bedsores, eat meals, and add foot.

[0003] In the case of a sick person who is recuperated at home, a family or the like usually turns over or raises his / her hand with help from his / her hand. Since this assistance needs to be performed in an unstable posture such as a standing knee or a middle waist, it becomes a considerable burden on the attendant, and it is particularly difficult when the weight of the sick person is heavy. In the method of assisting by hand, a local force is applied to the body of the sick person, and the sick person may be hurt.

[0004] In the hospital, to address the above problems,
Many beds with a function of raising the back and raising the legs have been introduced. These beds are called gatch beds according to the inventor's name, and the floor of the bed is folded in two or three in the longitudinal direction by using a crank mechanism or a gear mechanism, etc., electrically or manually. It is to be inclined at an angle. In addition, a turnover bed in which the bed floor is inclined in two in the width direction has been commercialized in recent years. These beds have the problem that they are very expensive due to the complicated folding mechanism.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive partial floor rising device capable of turning over, raising the back, and raising the leg, and a bed equipped with the device.
