Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This device is intended to help elderly people and people with disabilities who use conventional futons without using a bed to hold their bodies stably when waking up and to easily get up and stand up from the bed. It is about ingredients.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There are currently no equipment available to assist the elderly or handicapped people who use conventional futons to wake up, so use the feet or columns of a desk or table near the bed as an aid. In many cases, I was trying to get up while standing still, and if that was not possible, I had to get the help of a person.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With the advent of an aging society, the number of elderly people who have difficulty getting up in their daily lives has increased, and the number of people who care for them have also decreased sharply with the increase in nuclear families. On the other hand, in order to improve the maintenance of physical ability of the elderly or physically handicapped people, it is important for them to do what they can do in their daily lives instead of relying on human labor. It is also considered effective, and various self-help tools for that purpose have been devised and sold. Beds are more convenient for getting up and standing up, and special beds for this purpose are widely used. However, due to lifestyle habits, costs, and other reasons, overwhelmingly many elderly people prefer traditional futons. The present invention provides a self-help tool for these people, which is intended to help them to wake up safely and functionally, and to effectively utilize the limited physical strength of the user.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve this object, the present invention has the following configuration. First, a main body fixed by a screw is provided on one side in the longitudinal direction of a tough base having a rectangular shape and an appropriate size. The base is laid under the futon and is large enough to be pressed by the weight and thick enough not to make a person who sleeps on it feel uncomfortable. The main body consists of a support mounting plate, a support, and a support attached to the upper end of the support. Two or more columns are firmly fixed to the column mounting plate of the main body. The stanchions are connected and integrated with each other at the top of the stanchion, resulting in a sturdy structure as a whole. Its cross section is almost round so that it can be easily grasped by hand, and it has an appropriate angle to the mounting plate. The support table attached to the upper end of the column is a table for holding the hands when the user stands up, and the upper surface is covered with a cushioning cover.

[0005]

[Action]

 The base of this self-help device is laid deep under the futon and laid on it, so that the entire device is fixed by the weight. Depending on body shape, dominant hand or floor plan, the position and angle of the main body with respect to the futon can be adjusted to the optimum position by loosening the screw fixing the base and the main body and tightening after adjusting. When a sleeping user tries to get up, it is easy to get the upper body up on the bed by reaching out and grasping the column and bending the elbow to pull the column up. At this time, the base under the futon supports the equipment so that it does not fall over. Further, the support pillar is not perpendicular to the support mounting plate and is formed at an appropriate angle, and the cross section thereof is substantially round, so that the support pillar can be easily grasped and pulled in a sleeping position. Next, when the user who gets up and tries to stand up, he / she puts his / her weight on one of the two support bases and puts his / her weight on the support base to facilitate the standing up.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a structure of a screw portion for fixing the main body 1 and the base 2 at an arbitrary angle.

In FIG. 1, the base 2 is a plate having a width of about 30 cm and a length of about 70 cm, and its four corners are rounded with a rim, and a futon is laid on it so that a person who sleeps will not feel uncomfortable. It is a sturdy plate with a thickness of about 5 mm. A hole 3 into which a screw for mounting the main body 1 is inserted is provided on one side in the longitudinal direction. The lowermost part of the main body 1 is an oval type column mounting plate 4 having a width of about 30 cm, and a hole 5 into which a screw is inserted is formed in the center, and two columns 6 and 7 are firmly arranged at substantially equal intervals from the hole. Is attached to.

One of the columns 6, 7 is lower than the column 7, and the columns 8 and 7 are connected to form a unit. The cross-section of each part of the column is almost circular, making it easy to hold by hand. Further, the two columns are not perpendicular to the column mounting plate 4 but are attached at an appropriate angle so that the user can easily grip the column in the sleeping position.

Supports 9 and 10 are attached to the upper portions of the columns 6 and 7, respectively. The support base is a base for holding a hand when standing up, and its height is about 40 cm for the base 2 and about 25 cm for the base 10. Also, it is covered with a cushioning cover to improve the feel of the hands.

In FIG. 2, a T-shaped male screw 11 is inserted from below the base through the hole 3 of the base 2 and the hole 5 of the column mounting plate 4, and the male screw 11 protruding from the column mounting plate is inserted. A cap nut 13 is screwed into the upper portion via a washer 12. If the cap nut 13 is loosened, the main body 1 can be freely rotated with respect to the base 2, and if it is tightened at any position, it is fixed at that position. Also, by removing the cap nut 13 and the washer 12, the main body and the base can be easily separated.
