Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body, which is a soft and soft rectangular cloth having a length of about 30 centimeters, a width of about 50 centimeters, and a thickness of about 8 millimeters. A central holding belt 2 is a rectangular long cloth body having a length of about 93 centimeters and a width of about 13 centimeters, one end of which is sewn in the middle of the main back surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a reinforcing belt, which is a cloth body sewn in the middle of the main body surface, and both ends thereof coincide with both ends of the main body.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a commercially available main locking female piece provided at the left end of the upper holding belt. Reference numeral 7 denotes a main locking piece male piece provided at the right end of the holding belt.
The main locking tool female piece has an internal space, and the main locking tool male piece is provided with a plurality of projecting pieces, and the protrusions and the space fit together to be locked. This protrusion has elasticity, and is a mechanism for releasing this locking by elastically deforming inward by a finger pressing. 8 is a substantially annular belt length adjuster provided in the middle of the upper holding belt right piece, and the above male piece, female piece and belt length adjuster are commercially available products.

14 is a gripping body made of a rectangular cloth sewn on the back of the main body, and this gripping body is sewn mainly on both ends, and can be gripped by inserting a finger into an intermediate non-sewn part. It is.

Next, the use of this plan will be described. This plan is used to transfer the body of a person who is wearing his / her back and supine. First, to make it easier to wear this product, the body of the person who is lying is turned sideways. Next, put the main body of the opened product on the person's back and pull the upper holding belt right or left side and the lower holding belt right or left piece under the person's body and pull it out in front of the body.
