Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a turn-over device which enables a bedridden patient or the like to easily turn over on a bed or bed. [0002] In the care of bedridden patients in hospitals and homes, it is necessary to turn over for the purpose of preventing floor rubbing, ensuring physical cleanliness, exchanging underwear and diapers, eating, and adding to clothes. Become. Although many bedridden patients are elderly, turning over is a heavy burden, especially when one elderly couple is bedridden and the other takes care of the elderly. [0004] In order to cope with such a problem, there has been proposed a device for assisting turnover. As a first prior art, there is known an apparatus in which a bed floor is inclined by an electric or manual mechanical mechanism. A second prior art is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-55.
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 915, there is known an arrangement in which alternately arranged conical air mats assist turning over. A third prior art is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-521.
By using two systems of air bladders and sending air to one air bladder to inflate,
It is known to turn a patient's body over. A fourth prior art is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-76.
As can be seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 318, the body of the patient is controlled by sending air to a plurality of air bags long in the longitudinal direction of the mat arranged in a plane so as to constitute the mat body while adjusting the respective air pressures. It is known to turn over. [0008] However, the first prior art has a problem that the price is expensive because the bed tilting mechanism is complicated. [0009] The second prior art has a problem that it is substantially difficult to make a comfortable turn over with a conical air mat. The third prior art has a problem in that the air bag at a certain position is inflated, so that a patient or the like lying in a skewed position cannot be turned over well. . The fourth prior art is improved so that a patient lying in a skewed position can be turned well, but a complicated control device for controlling the air pressure of each air bag is required. However, there is a problem in that it is necessary and the price becomes expensive. An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive turnover device that can appropriately turn over. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is based on an apparatus fixed to a bed or bed and for turning over a person lying on the bed or bed. According to the present invention, two balloons for turning over on both sides of the longitudinal centerline of the bed or bed are formed. When one of the balloons is inflated, the balloon fixing material, the balloon surface material, and the balloon are so arranged that the cross-sectional shape of the balloon as viewed from the short side of the bed or bed in the longitudinal direction is substantially fan-shaped around the center line position. A plurality of partition material groups and an air inlet are configured. With such a configuration, a turning device can be realized in which a patient lying in a skewed position can be turned well only by adjusting the amount of air to be injected into the two balloons. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. First, a rectangular sheet-shaped balloon fixing material 1 is provided on the upper surface of the bed so as to cover the rectangular shape (FIG. 1 (b)). This balloon fixing material 1
The bed is fixed to the bed by a pair of balloon fixing material retaining frames 2 provided at both sides of the long side of the bed and a belt 6 for fixing the balloon fixing material retaining frames 2 under the bed. A cushion 5 (for example, a wavy balloon) is provided below the balloon fixing material 1 as needed. Next, along the four sides forming the first region of the two regions A-A-E-E of the balloon fixing material 1 divided by the longitudinal center line AA of the balloon fixing material 1, Balloon fixed material 1
And a balloon surface rubber 3 forming a balloon is provided. Subsequently, when the balloon is inflated, the cross-sectional shape of the balloon viewed from the short side of the bed in the longitudinal direction is as follows:
As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of (three in FIG. 2) rectangular plates having different widths are arranged in the balloon so as to be substantially fan-shaped around the position of the center line AA in the longitudinal direction of the balloon fixing material 1. Partition rubber 4 (A-A-B-B, A-A-C-C, A-A
-DD) is provided. As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2, the partition rubber 4 has its first long side fixed in the balloon along the longitudinal center line AA of the balloon fixing material 1 in the balloon. While being bonded to the material 1, the second long side is BB,
It is bonded to the balloon surface rubber 3 at each of the positions CC and DD. The partition rubber 4 and the balloon surface rubber 3 are directly bonded only to the line AB. As a result, at the center AA, the first long sides of the balloon surface rubber 3 and the three partition rubbers 4 are bonded together. The balloon surface layer rubber 3 on the short side between the adjacent partition rubbers 4 forms a substantially fan-shaped (ABC, ACD, ADE) when it is inflated. Gores (pleasant folds) are provided. Further, each of the partition rubbers 4 is one which is close to the balloon fixing material 1 (AD) and one which is far from the balloon fixing material 1 (AB).
An air port 7 whose diameter gradually decreases toward is provided.
The first rubber between the partition rubber 4 (A-D) closest to the balloon fixing material 1 and the balloon fixing material 1 between the balloon fixing material 1
An air inlet 8 is provided for injecting air into the layer. Although not specifically shown, a material for improving the feel, such as felt cloth, is directly adhered to the entire surface of the balloon surface rubber 3. The balloon surface rubber 3, the three partition rubbers 4 (including the air ports 7) in the balloon, and the air injection port 8, which are configured for the first region described above, are located at the center of the balloon fixing material 1 in the longitudinal direction. Another pair of the two regions A-A-E-E of the balloon fixing material 1 divided by the line A-A is configured in exactly the same manner. That is, two balloons are formed with the center line AA as a boundary. Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the diameter of the air port 7 provided in the partition rubber 4 decreases in the order of A-D, A-C, and A-B from the one close to the balloon fixing material 1. When air is injected from the air injection port 8 by a compressor or the like into such a structure, the outer balloon surface rubber 3 first swells as shown in FIG. As shown in b), the portion of the middle balloon surface rubber 3 swells and finally
As shown in (a), the portion of the balloon surface layer rubber 3 in the center portion swells. When each layer of the balloon has the same pressure, all of the balloon surface rubber 3 is inflated, and the partition rubber 4 has a pulling force toward the center AA. , As shown in FIG. In this manner, the body 9 can be easily turned from the supine state to the lateral state and further to the down state. Also, by deflating one balloon and then gradually inflating the other balloon,
You can also freely return to the original state. Further, the stoppage in the middle can be easily realized by temporarily stopping the injection of air. As described above, a free-turning operation can be realized with a simple mechanism of the balloon device and the compressor according to the present invention. In the embodiment described above, rubber materials are used as the balloon surface material and the partition material. However, vinyl materials may be used. It is preferable to combine with a material having air permeability. Further, by incorporating a mechanism for automating the operation of the compressor, automatic turning over at night or the like can be realized. According to the present invention, in a case where one of the spouses takes care of a bedridden elderly person or the like, the floor is prevented from rubbing, the body is kept clean, and underwear and diapers are changed.
It is possible to freely perform a rollover operation for a meal, an addition or the like, or a rollover operation in the middle of the night with a small amount of labor and without putting a hand on the body. Further, since the mechanism is simple, it is possible to provide an inexpensive turning device.
