DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to general household care for use in caring for persons who have difficulty moving themselves (hereinafter referred to as sick persons, etc.), such as sick persons, injured persons, physically handicapped persons, etc. It is about lift.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Nursing lifts of this kind are used in various situations, for example, when transferring a sick person from a bed to a bedside or a wheelchair, sitting in a toilet, or taking a bath. For this reason, conventional nursing lifts
A base frame with casters so that it can be moved to various places, a support standing upright on the base frame and fixed non-rotatably, and a base end pivotally attached to the support so as to be tiltable,
An elevating arm having a hanger attached to the distal end, and an elevating drive device having a base end tiltably attached to the column and a distal end tiltably attached to the elevating arm are provided. When the elevating arm is turned down, the entire base frame is rotated.

[0003]

However, in a conventional nursing lift, the base frame is formed so as to be considerably large in a plan view so as not to overturn. For this reason, the base frame can be used in places where the room is large and has enough space, such as hospitals, but in places where the room is small and there is not enough space, such as ordinary homes, various objects placed on the floor can be used as base frames. However, it could not be freely moved or the elevating arm could be turned down from the neck, making it extremely difficult to use. Further, for example, it was not possible to exceed a large step, such as at the edge or the entrance, so that the usable range was extremely narrow. That being said, placing multiple care lifts in various locations was economically and space unavoidable.

[0004] Further, since the base frame is tall by casters, depending on the existing bed, the end of the base frame hits the base of the bed,
In some cases, the base frame could not be inserted below the base. In this case, there is a problem that the support cannot be brought close to the bed and the hanger at the tip of the elevating arm cannot be positioned above the center of the bed, so that the sick or the like cannot be transferred to the bed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a relatively light lifting device such as a lift arm, a hanger, and a lift drive device for a nursing care lift even in a small room such as a general home where there is not enough space. Only the main operating part can be easily separated and moved with one touch from its support member, and the support member can be mounted on the wall and equipment of various rooms such as bedroom, restroom, bathroom, porch, entrance, etc. For example, by replacing the main operating portion on the support member,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a care lift that can be easily used in a wide range.

The usable range was extremely narrow. Just because it is
Placing multiple care lifts in various locations was economically and spatially infeasible. The main purpose of the relatively light nursing care lift is a lift arm (or lift arm and lift drive) equipped with a hanger, even in a place where the room is small and there is not enough space as in a general household. Only the operating part can be easily moved separately from the supporting member. Therefore, if the supporting member is attached to the wall or the equipment of various rooms such as a bedroom, a restroom, a bathroom, a porch, an entrance, etc., by replacing the main operating portion to the supporting member, it can be easily used in a wide range in a general household. Can be used for

Here, when the tip of the lifting drive is detachably attached to the lifting arm as described above, the lifting arm and the lifting drive can be separated and moved more easily.

[0016] In the care lift, the mechanism for detachably attaching is a combination of a receiving member having an opening and an engaging member inserted into and engaged with the receiving member from the opening. In that case, they can be separated with one touch. When the receiving member is provided with a retaining member that opens and closes the opening, the engaging member is inserted into the receiving member from the opening and engaged, and then the opening is closed by the retaining member. I can put it. For this reason, even if an unexpected external force is applied to the care lift, the engaging member does not come off from the receiving member.

When the above-described embodiments are used as the supporting members, the following operations are provided. First,
In the case of adopting the mode, the support pillar is attached to the attachment member attached to the wall surface of the room, so that the floor is not occupied. Also, by rotating the support column with respect to the mounting member, the elevating arm can be turned down from the neck, and it is not necessary to rotate the entire large base frame as in the conventional case, so various objects are placed on the floor surface. However, these objects do not interfere with the swinging rotation of the lifting arm.

In this embodiment, when the strut rod is provided, the strut rod presses the upper part of the mounting member from the wall surface due to the weight of the sick person or the like lifted by the care lift. This is effective when the strength of the wall surface on which the mounting member is mounted is weak, for example, in a recent resin unit bath.

Next, when the bed with a lift for nursing of the embodiment is adopted, the column is attached to the extension table extending laterally from the bed, so that the existing bed can be used and the floor surface is not occupied much. In addition, the lifting arm can be swung by rotating the support column with respect to the extension table, and since there is no need to rotate the entire large base frame as in the conventional case, various objects are placed on the floor surface. However, these objects do not interfere with the swinging rotation of the lifting arm.

In this aspect, when the extension base is detachably attached to the base, the extension base can be removed from the base when the nursing care lift becomes unnecessary in the bed.
