The top view of the auxiliary tool for wheelchairs concerning this invention. The top view of the main body of the auxiliary tool shown in FIG. The expansion perspective view of the a section of the main part of the auxiliary tool shown in FIG. The top view which shows the deformation | transformation aspect of the assistance tool for wheelchairs concerning this invention. The side view which shows the use condition of the auxiliary tool shown in FIG. FIG.

Hereinafter, the wheelchair auxiliary tool of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The auxiliary tool 11 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by extending a back support portion 12, an upper support portion 13 that extends upward from the back support portion 12, and is applied to the neck or head, and from both sides of the back support portion 12. It forms with the abutment part 14 extended and formed in the direction, and the whole has shown the mountain shape which spreads in the end. As shown in FIG. 6, the entire body 15 (FIG. 5) formed of a material having a structure in which cardboards are stacked vertically and horizontally is covered with a resin sheet or film.

The main body 15 is formed with longitudinal cuts 17 which are folds on one surface thereof at equal intervals in the horizontal direction.
As shown in the drawing, the cut line 17 may be formed continuously or may be formed in a dotted line shape, or may be formed in a thin streak shape by, for example, pressing with a press instead of the cut line 17.

  Although the crease in the above embodiment is formed on one surface of the main body 15, it may be formed on both surfaces. In the case of forming on both sides, it is desirable that the folds on both sides be formed at the same position. By forming the folds on both surfaces of the main body 15, the auxiliary tool 11 can be bent more easily.

The wheelchair auxiliary tool 19 shown in FIG. 7 shows an example in which an upper pad part 21 applied to the neck or head is formed so as to protrude from the back pad part 22 without being continuous.
In the auxiliary tool shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the ridge line extending from the top of the mountain or from the bottom of the upper pad 21 to the skirt is formed to be curved, but may be formed to be inclined.

  FIG. 8 is a side view of the auxiliary tool 11 in use, FIG. 9 is a front view thereof, and the auxiliary tool 11 is mounted as follows.

4 is bent inward by bending both the abutting portions 14 of the assisting tool 11 so that a person who needs to get on the wheelchair 8 is wrapped with both arms from both sides, and is pushed down as it is, and the back resting portion 12 is required. While inserting between the back of the assistant and the backrest 11 of the wheelchair 8, the abutment portion 14 is inserted between the arm and the armrest 9 of the wheelchair 8. The height is adjusted so that the upper pad 13 is applied to the head (which may be the neck).
The auxiliary tool 19 is mounted in the same manner.

  As shown in FIG. 7 of Utility Model Registration No. 3135583, the auxiliary tools 11 and 19 of each of the above embodiments are integrally formed with shielding portions on both sides of the upper support portions 13 and 21, so The side view may be blocked. By providing a shielding part, the side view is obstructed, which reduces the amount of information from the outside, so that you can concentrate on feelings only during meals, and troublesome behavior such as nuisance to neighboring people Can be prevented.

  According to the auxiliary tools 11 and 19 of each of the embodiments described above, when not in use before bending, they are plate-like so that they are not bulky even when stacked, and are easy to carry, and are made of cardboard, so they are lightweight. It is inexpensive, and the main body has a structure in which corrugated cardboard is stacked vertically and horizontally, so even cardboard has high rigidity, has low waist and is difficult to bend, supports the neck or head and does not warp on its back It is easy to attach and detach to a person who needs assistance in a wheelchair, and the sitting position, in particular, the upper body is stabilized by sandwiching the abutment part 14 between both sides or holding both arms, and staying on the wheelchair.
