Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a covering cloth for covering a lower abdomen from the lower abdomen of a physically handicapped person such as an elderly person sitting in a wheelchair.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When living in a wheelchair, the person moves in a wheelchair and performs various operations. When the body moves in a wheelchair, the knees move naturally from side to side, and sometimes the knees come apart, making it difficult to see. In order to hide such suffering, or to keep warm and protect the lower abdomen from below the knee, rugs and large towels are placed below the lower abdomen. However, rugs and towels have no means of fastening to the body, and usually one end of a towel or rug is sandwiched between clothes such as skirts and pants so that they do not slip off. In daily life, people move in wheelchairs and perform various actions in wheelchairs. The ends of the rug or towel sandwiched inside the skirt or trousers may be dislodged, kinked, moved to the side, or slipped off, exposing the knee. So you have to put the loose ends back, twist them, move them aside, and hang your slippers or towels back. However, it is difficult for people who need care, such as the elderly with physical disabilities, to hang or adjust themselves, and remain in a disordered state until the caregiver notices.

[0003] Therefore, a string or band is attached to such a throw or a large-sized towel and tied to a wheelchair, or attached to the user's own body. However, such a rug or towel with a strap or band attached to it cannot be attached to a wheelchair or tied around his or her own body for an elderly person with a physical disability, resulting in care for the care. There are many.

[0004] Furthermore, it is desired that elderly people who need nursing care, such as bedridden persons, and persons with physical disabilities can live in wheelchairs as much as possible so that they can become independent. Therefore, a body holding belt, a so-called safety belt, is used to prevent the body from slipping down while sitting in a wheelchair. However, this equipment should be secured by holding the lower abdomen and crotch in a loin-like manner from above the clothing and fixing it to the frame at the back of the seat of the wheelchair so that the body does not deviate from the seat. Since the clothes are tightened like a loincloth over the clothing, the use of these tools is something that the wearer does not want others to see. Therefore, the lower part of the knee is covered from the lower abdomen with a towel or a rug as described above, but the towel or the rug is kinked or slipped down as described above. In this case, too, the wearer, the person requiring care or a person with a physical disability, cannot adjust or rehabilitate them and may need to take care of them.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The challenge of this invention was to help older people and wheelchair users in wheelchairs hide the disorder in their lower abdominal clothing, or to hide the body-holding belt used when using a wheelchair. A conventional large-sized towel or rug that covers the lower part of the knee from the abdomen.It can be used without being caught in skirts or pants, and can be easily used by yourself while sitting in a wheelchair. The aim is to provide a lower abdomen and lower knee wrap for a wheelchair that can be attached.

[0006]

An embodiment of the lower abdomen and under-knee covering cloth 1 for a wheelchair according to claim 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The covering cloth 1 includes a lateral side 3 slightly wider than a gap between the left and right armrests 21 of the wheelchair 20 as shown in FIG. 2 and a knee from the lower abdomen 23 of the seated person when further sitting on the wheelchair 20. It is formed from a square fabric 2 with longitudinal sides 4 reaching the bottom 24. On the back side of the covering cloth 1, on the side 6 inside the edge 6 of the left and right vertical sides 4 of the upper part 5, there is provided a flat fastener 7 comprising a hook-shaped member 7 a and a loop-shaped member 7 b. Among them, for example, a hook-shaped member 7a is attached. In the covering cloth 1 shown in FIG. 1, the left and right corners of the knee portion 9 are rounded to give a round shape and finished. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, a wheelchair 20 used by an elderly person or the like using the covering cloth 1 has a loop-shaped member of a flat fastener 7 on the inside of left and right side plates 22, 22 at a lower portion of an armrest 21. 7b is attached. When an elderly man sits on the wheelchair 20, the hook-shaped member 7a of the planar fastener 7 of the covering cloth 1 is placed inside, the lower abdomen 10 is placed above, the knee part 9 is placed on the knee, and then the covering cloth is placed. The left and right hook-shaped members 7a, 7a are fastened to the loop-shaped members 7b, 7b of the flat fastener 7 provided inside the left and right side plates 22, 22 under the armrest 21 of the wheelchair 20. Then, the covering cloth 1 is arranged on the knee and the mounting is completed. Since the covering cloth 1 is engaged by a flat fastener 7 and is not tied by a belt, when a sudden abnormal situation occurs for a physically handicapped person, the covering cloth 1 is removed only by applying a strong force. You can be safe. Furthermore, since the flat fastener 7 of the covering cloth 1 can be attached to and detached from the flat fastener 7 of the side plate 22 on the seating side by a user, the physically disabled person can use his / her finger. By performing this installation, functional training will be provided, and the elderly will become independent.

Next, an embodiment of the lower abdomen and under-knee covering cloth 30 for a wheelchair according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Also in this case, similarly to the covering cloth 1 of the invention of the first aspect, the lateral side 3 slightly wider than the space between the left and right armrests 21 of the wheelchair 20 as shown in FIG. It is formed from a square-shaped cloth 2 having a vertical side 4 extending from the lower abdomen 23 of the seated person to the lower knee 24 when seated. On the back side of the covering cloth 1, one member 7c of a sliding fastener 7 is attached along the lateral side 3 of the upper part 5 of the cloth 2. Of course, the fastener 7 is not a slide-type fastener, and may be a flat fastener 7 including a hook-shaped member 7a and a loop-shaped member 7b as long as it cannot be easily removed by a handicapped person. good.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the covering cloth is attached to the horizontal belt 27 above the lower abdomen pad 26 of the body holding belt 25 used so that the wheelchair user does not slip off from the seating part of the wheelchair. The other member 7b of the slide fastener 7 provided in 1 is attached. As shown in FIG. 5, the body holding belt 25 covers the lower abdomen 23 of a seated elderly person with a lower abdominal abutment 26 made of a wide cloth so that a force is applied evenly, and the upper lateral belt 27 is a wheelchair. 20 and engages with the rear frame by turning the vertical belt 28 backward from below the buttocks. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the state of wearing the body holding belt 25 can be seen by others, and the feeling of the wearer tends to be cloudy. Therefore, in FIG. 5, a body holding belt 25 provided with the slide fastener 7 shown in FIG. 4 is used, and one member 7c of the slide fastener 7 of the body holding belt 25 is attached to the slide type fastener 7 shown in FIG. The other member 7b of the slide fastener 7 provided along the lower abdomen provided on the back side and the upper side on the back side of the under-knee covering cloth 30 is engaged and attached by the slider 29, and FIG. As shown in the figure, the lower abdomen 10 and the lower lap 24 of a physically handicapped person seated in a wheelchair are covered and covered with a lower abdomen and a lower lap cover 30 for a wheelchair having the lower abdomen 10 and the knee 9. By hiding the body holding belt 25 with the covering cloth 30 in this manner, the expression of the wearer becomes bright and clear. Also, in this case, since the slide-type fastener 7 is attached to the back side, the slide-type fastener 7 does not slip down as in the case where a conventional rug is used.

FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams for explaining how to make the covering cloth 1 or the covering cloth 30. FIG. For example, for summer use, prepare cotton fabric such as broad and succulents, and for winter use, prepare thick denim or quilted fabric. Do not use towels or blankets as they are easily soiled and do not easily return to their original condition after washing.

First, a method of making the summer covering cloth 1 will be described. The above cloth having a width of about 62 cm and a length of 1 m 46 cm is prepared, and is folded in half as shown in FIG. 7A to form a bag 31 at a lower portion and a seam allowance 32 of about 1 cm in the vertical direction around the bag 31. The sewing margin 33 on the upper side is set to about 3 cm, and the periphery is sewn to leave the upper central part 34 at about 20 cm to form a bag. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the bag is turned upside down from the central portion 34 of the upper side leaving about 20 cm, and the shape is adjusted with an iron, and the upper side 5 mm from the end is sewn with a sewing thread 35.
