A general chair used on a table or kotatsu is a caregiver who is difficult to move by himself to sit down. It was necessary to sit down, and the burden on the caregiver was heavy. Registered utility model No. 3158819 (Patent Document 1), Patent Publication 2007 as a sitting chair that can hold the posture just by applying it from the rear of the care recipient without lifting the buttocks of the care recipient in order to compensate for the disadvantage -105420 (patent document 2), patent publication 2007-312 (patent document 3), registered utility model No. 3131925 (patent document 4), and the like have been proposed.

Registered Utility Model No. 3158819 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-105420 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-312 Registered Utility Model No. 3131925

As a feature common to Patent Documents 1 to 3, a mechanism that can install a sitting chair that is intended to maintain a sitting posture by simply applying the sitting chair from the rear of the care recipient without lifting the buttocks of the care recipient It has been proposed that However, the sitting chairs described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are merely placed on a bed or a mattress, etc. When the care recipient leans against the backrest, the weight of the sitting chair and the bed or mattress Only the frictional force due to the coefficient of friction between the seating chair and the like cannot resist the force acting on the backrest, and the seating chair easily slides on the bed, the mattress or the like and cannot maintain the sitting posture. In addition, the sitting chair described in Patent Document 3 must be fitted with a nursing bed provided in front of the sitting chair and a fixing belt for fixing the sitting chair in combination with the nursing bed. It is used for a wide range of applications and has low versatility and is expensive to manufacture. In addition, the seat chair described in Patent Document 4 has a plate called a detachable seat adjustment stabilization plate that passes through the base of the thigh and is attached to the seat frame after being seated, so that the care recipient leans against the backrest. If the care recipient is leaning against the backrest, the seatchair will rest on the bed or mattress. Does not slide easily. However, it is very troublesome and difficult for the caregiver or the care recipient himself / herself to securely attach the detachable sitting position adjustment stabilization plate to the seat frame in a state where the care recipient who does not become free is seated.
The purpose of the present invention is to solve these problems, and it is possible to maintain a sitting posture where a care recipient with poor trunk balance sitting on a bed or mattress for meals, etc. It is easy to use because it does not need to be fixed to the chair, and can be used as a sitting table or a kotatsu seat chair.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a nursing seat chair for maintaining the sitting posture of a care recipient and uses a bed, a mattress or the like as a seating surface, and a U-shape contacting the seating surface. -Shaped main body 1, backrest 6, buttocks 7 long enough to carry about half of the buttocks, support legs that are folded along the main body 1 when not in use and rotated outward by approximately 100 degrees when used Since 2 is provided on both side surfaces and the back surface of the main body 1, the object can be achieved simply by applying the care chair from the rear of the care recipient.
In particular, the buttocks 7 receive a part of the weight of the care recipient and absorbs the force that moves the sitting chair backward when the care recipient leans against the backrest 6, as if the anchor (錨Securing a seated chair and ensuring that the care recipient needs to hold the seat as described above) is a notable problem solving means disclosed for the first time in the present invention, without a description corresponding to the prior art.

By using the care chair of the present invention, the care recipient can hold a comfortable sitting posture, so meals, watching TV, handicrafts, samurai, shogi, etc. are possible. Causes independence.
In addition, the care chair of the present invention does not need to be lifted and seated by the care recipient, and can be used simply by applying the seat chair from the back of the care recipient who is leaning forward. Because it is lightweight and easy for anyone to handle, it is freed from the dangers of caregivers and low back pain even in elderly care.
In addition, the care chair of the present invention is simple in construction and easy to manufacture, so the production cost is low, and there is little burden when caring for a care recipient at home or introducing multiple units at a care facility. It has an economic effect such as that possible.

The drawing is an embodiment of the present invention, and is a perspective view seen obliquely from the left front.

After raising the care recipient in any direction, take a slight forward leaning posture, insert the main body 1 into the side of the body and insert the front end of the buttocks 7 to the middle of the bottom of the hip. The support leg 2 folded on both sides and the back of the main body 1 is rotated outward and pressed down until it locks at the lowest point to form a nursing chair.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is a care chair for maintaining the sitting posture of a care recipient, and has a U-shaped main body that is in direct contact with a bed or Japanese-style mattress, etc. 1.Both armrests 4, backrest 6, buttocks 7 long enough to ride around half of the buttocks, support when folded when not in use, along body 1 and rotated outward by approximately 100 degrees when used The leg 2 is provided on both side surfaces and the back surface of the main body 1.
Since the main body 1 is a prototype in this embodiment, it is manufactured by cutting out unnecessary parts using a plastic container (storage box) that is commercially available to support the weight of the care recipient. It was possible to obtain sufficient strength and size. Needless to say, an optimally shaped body using a dedicated mold is desirable for mass production.
The backrest 6 is designed to reduce the stuffiness of the back in the car seat in order to suppress the discomfort caused by the stuffiness of the back when holding the sitting position for a long time, and taking into consideration the holding and buffering effect of the body in the lateral direction of the care recipient. A commercially available backrest made of a mesh-like back support cloth and a three-dimensional shape frame developed for the purpose of prevention was used. In addition, the back support which uses foaming urethane and cotton as a core material can be used similarly.
The buttocks 7 are made of a strong cloth such as canvas or denim, and are fixed to the bottom of the main body 1 so as not to feel a foreign object when a care recipient is seated. The size of the chair should be such that it can be inserted under the butt of the care recipient who sat down leaning forward when the seat is placed from behind the care recipient. When leaning on, the seat pad receives a part of the weight, and acts as if it is an anchor of a ship, so the seat does not easily slide backward.
As the support leg 2, a wire-type folding leg used in a folding table or the like was used. As a result, the support leg 2 can be opened and fixed by a simple operation, so that it is possible to reliably prevent the seat chair from falling backward or in the left-right direction. Further, when storing, the vicinity of the base of the support leg 2 can be easily unlocked and folded easily by bringing the base of the support leg 2 inward, and the nursing chair can be stored in a small space. Further, since it is a lightweight mass-produced product, there is an advantage that a low-cost, robust, light and high-quality support leg can be obtained.

The present invention relates to a sitting chair for the purpose of facilitating the work of holding a sitting position of a care recipient and a caregiver in the nursing care industry. It is possible to use.
