[0011]

[Embodiment of device]

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First of all, in Table 7 The top plate 1 is supported by a plurality of legs 2. The material of the top plate 1 and the legs 2 is, for example, , Wood, plastic, metal, etc., but wood is preferred because it is kind to people .

[0012]   The height of the table 7 is arbitrary, and a plurality of types can be provided. For example, Three types of 600 mm, 620 mm, and 650 mm can be provided.

[0013]   A person requiring care can hold his / her hand on the tabletop 1 of the table 7 to support his / her body. A handhold part is provided. That is, the tabletop 1 has The holes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d at a plurality of locations, for example, at four locations as shown. It is set up.

[0014]   The above holes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are formed by a plurality of fingers of the hand, for example, the index finger to the little finger. It has an elongated shape that allows multiple fingers up to it to be inserted together.

[0015]   Among the holes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, the front holes 3a, 3b are the top plate 1 At the inner position of the front edge portion 4a of It is opened so that there is a space in which the forearm of the care recipient can be placed. You In other words, between the front edge 4a of the top plate 1 and the front side holes 3a, 3b, the front of the care recipient An interval approximately the same as the length of the arms is provided. This distance is about 300 mm preferable. In addition, after the side edges 4b and 4c of the top plate 1 and the inner positions thereof are formed, A space for placing the forearm of the care recipient is also provided between the side holes 3c and 3d. It has been burned. In the figure, reference numerals 5a, 5b, 5c indicate forearm mounting spaces. Shows. In addition, the front holes 3a and 3b are formed in a pair, and the front side holes 3a and 3b are formed by a user. Are spaced apart from each other by substantially the same distance as the shoulder width dimension. The rear hole 3 c and 3d are side edge portions 4b and 4c and rear edge portions more than the front side holes 3a and 3b. It is arranged close to 4d.

[0016]   Further, the holes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are all formed in an oblong shape, To be substantially parallel to the edges 4a, 4b, 4c of the top plate 1 in the length direction. Has been formed.

[0017]   The plane shape of the top plate 1 is a trapezoid obtained by dividing a regular hexagon into two, as shown in the figure. It is preferable. In other words, the short side of the two parallel sides and the two It is preferable to make a trapezoid in which the lengths of the hypotenuses are equal. And the length of the above side is It is preferably 900 mm or more.

[0018]   When the top plate 1 is trapezoidal as described above, the two tables 7 are , By aligning the rear edge 4d so that it comes into contact, a hexagonal top plate is formed. can do. If the top plate is a regular hexagon, the following effects are obtained.

[0019]   That is, in most conventional tables, the top plate has a quadrangular or circular plan shape, Square ones tend to have the same person sitting in the same place, Dedicated to a specific person, the person sitting next to them is always the same, Therefore, there is a harmful effect that the human relations are fixed or the human relations are ranked, The circular shape does not fix the sitting position, and the sitting position tends to be different each time. There is an opportunity to become familiar with everyone, not just regular people, and it is difficult to fix human relationships Although there is an advantage to say, since each person is not sure how much space they can use, There is a bad effect that the elbows hit each other because they are too close to each other.

[0020]   On the other hand, as described above, two tables according to the present invention are combined to form a regular hexagonal top plate. By doing so, similar to a circular table, human relationships are not fixed or ordered, You have the opportunity to get to know not only people but everyone. Also, six people around the table By sitting in a circle, you can see each other's faces closely and have fun eating with each other. There is a merit that you can Also, people who sit around the table , Each side can be recognized as the space that it can occupy. Don't get too close until your elbows hit the person There is an advantage that you can have meals with you.

[0021]   The usage of the holes 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d formed in the top plate 1 will be described below. Explain. First, the person in need of care in a wheelchair should be in front of the table 7 while still in a wheelchair. It is located in front of the edge 4a. Then, the care recipient's hand is drilled in the middle of the top plate 1. The holes 3a and 3b are inserted. At this time, place the forearm of the care recipient on the top surface of the top plate 1. It is supported by the forearm mounting space 5a described above.

[0022]   Next, for the person requiring care, the force of the hand applied to the holes 3a and 3b formed in the central portion of the top plate 1. Then, lift your body with, and as shown in Figure 5, put your hips in a forward bending position. It Then, in this state, the caregiver pulls out the wheelchair 6 from under the ass of the care recipient. And replace it with a table chair (not shown) instead. After that, the care recipient You can lower your hips and transfer to a table chair. After eating Then, in the same manner as above, the chair for the table may be transferred to the wheelchair 6.

[0023]   That is, the care recipient must support himself / herself when lifting the buttocks. Therefore, the caregiver does not need to support the care recipient's body as in the past, Just replace the chair for the table with.

[0024]   In addition, the person in need of care in a wheelchair can be placed on the side edge 4b of the table 7 while still in a wheelchair. , 4c. And in this case, the hand of the care recipient is It is inserted into the rear side holes 3c and 3d formed at the inner positions of the side edge portions 4b and 4c of the plate 1. Can be made. Also in this case, the forearm of the care recipient is provided on the top surface of the top plate 1 as described above. Can be supported by the forearm mounting spaces 5b and 5c. In addition, both die of the top plate 1 The rear side holes 3c and 3d formed at the inner positions of the side edge portions 4b and 4c of the do Since they are not paired, you will use only one hand to support your body. Therefore, Those who do not need to use both hands, or who can use only one hand, These rear holes 3c and 3d should be used when the body is to be supported only by itself. And are preferred. For those who need to use both hands to support their body, Of course, it is possible to use the side holes 3c and 3d. In that case, the front side hole 3a , 3b can be used supplementarily.

In addition to being able to support the body with the forearm, It makes it easier to take a posture with the hips bent forward.   Further, in the table according to the present invention as set forth in claim 4, the hole has the longitudinal direction of the ceiling. Since it is formed so that it is almost parallel to the edge of the board, the fingers of the hand can be placed in a natural orientation. It can be easily inserted into the hole.   Further, in the table of the present invention according to claim 5, the pair of holes are substantially the same as the shoulder width of the user. Since it is formed in the same shape, it is easy for the user to put his / her hand in it, and the body must Easy to support.   Further, in the table of the present invention according to claim 6, the top plate is formed by dividing a regular hexagon into two. Since it has a trapezoidal shape, combining two of them creates a regular hexagonal top plate. This allows for the relationships between people sitting around the table, as described above. Without being fixed or ranked, we have the opportunity to become familiar with not only a specific person but also everyone . In addition, each person sitting around the table can occupy one side length. It can be recognized as the pace, so make sure you are too close until your elbow collides with the next person. There is no such thing, and each person can eat, etc. with a sufficient margin. You get
