Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a nursing care turning device for changing the direction of a care receiver.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 There are various types of means used to move a care recipient to a target location as a care device. On the other hand, in some cases, it may be necessary to change only the orientation of the care recipient who is unable to move in a certain place. For example, when the cared person sits on a toilet in a narrow toilet, or when he / she moves away from the toilet after using a toilet, or when the cared person is moved from a wheelchair to a bed. is there. However, no device or equipment suitable for such a situation has been proposed yet.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a direction change device which enables the care recipient to change a particular direction.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a step board on which a cared person is placed, and a main body in which a surrounding frame is provided integrally with the step board so as to surround the cared person on the step board, and the main body is rotatably supported. A support plate provided below the tread plate to prevent the rotation of the main unit, and a moving means that, when the main unit is tilted, comes into contact with the mounting surface of the main unit and moves away from the mounting surface. This constitutes a direction change device for nursing care.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The change-over device for nursing care of the present invention can change the direction only on the spot without moving the care receiver.

[0006] Such a care directional change device includes a main body on which the care receiver is placed, and a support plate that is rotatable relative to the main body. The main body must have a step board on which the cared person is placed, and an enclosing frame integral with the step board provided around the cared person on the step board. The surrounding frame is intended to be safe so that the care receiver can stand on the tread, but it also provides a handle for the caregiver to provide help for handling the instrument.

[0007] The support plate is provided below the tread plate to enable the main body to rotate. Conversely, the support plate is rotatably attached to the main body. The support plate also stably supports the main body and keeps the instrument upright. Whether the cared person on the tread plate can rotate safely depends largely on the stability of the support plate. The tread plate or the main body and the support plate may be combined by a rotating means having a central axis, or may be rotatable by a rotating means having a bearing.

Further, the main body requires a moving means. This is more of a means of transportation for the instrument, rather than for the care recipient. Of course, the same means of transportation can be used to move the care recipient while carrying it.

In such a caregiver, it is desirable that the entrance can be opened and closed with a belt for the purpose of facilitating entry of the care-receiver and ensuring safety after the entry. It is also desirable to cover the upper end of the surrounding frame with a flexible material to reduce pressure when the care receiver leans on the body.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an entirety of a turning device A for nursing care according to the present invention, in which a main body 10 is provided with a tread plate 11 having a space for a cared person to stand on and a cared person provided integrally therewith. And a surrounding frame 12 having a height up to both sides.

The surrounding frame 12 is composed of a vertical frame and upper and lower horizontal frames, has a partially opened entrance 13, and a belt 14 for opening and closing is provided at an upper portion thereof. Since the belt 14 has the same protection function as the horizontal frame by being stretched, the care receiver can be prevented from falling. The surrounding frame 12 has a substantially U-shaped frame portion 15 protected at the upper end by a flexible material.

A support plate 16 capable of stably erecting the main body 10 is attached to a center of the lower surface of the tread plate 11 by a support shaft 17. Ring-shaped support ribs are provided between the two plates 11 and 16 as a friction reducing means 18 in a plurality of concentric circles. The ring-shaped support rib is formed of, for example, a resin material having a small coefficient of friction, and can be brought into contact with a hard and flat surface such as an iron plate to obtain smooth rotation.

A caster wheel is provided as a moving means 20 below the surrounding frame of the main body 10. When the caster wheel is supported by the support plate 16, it floats from the arrangement surface 19 (see FIG. 3). When the caster wheel comes into contact with the caster wheel, at least a part of the support plate 16 is separated from the arrangement surface 19. The moving means 20 is provided at a position corresponding to the rear surface when the entrance 13 to the main body 10 is set at the front. Reference numeral 21 denotes a member for attaching the caster wheel to the body frame. A set screw 22 is used for adjusting the height of the frame portion 15 protected by the flexible material.

Such a change-of-care turning device A changes the direction of the cared person B who is sitting, for example, to transfer it to a wheelchair C (FIG. 5A), or takes care from the wheelchair C to the toilet D. 5 (b), etc., and is used effectively. In particular, in the case of the present invention, since the main body is rotatable on the support plate 16, the direction of the care receiver B can be easily changed even in a narrow place.

[0015]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured and operates as described above, it is possible to easily change the direction even in a toilet, for example, by installing it in a small toilet, and it has an effect of taking up little space and having high safety. .
