Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はベッドの側部に複数の側柵を設けた場合に、隣り合う側柵間の隙間をカバーするためのベッド用連結柵に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
たとえば、介護用などのベッドにおいては、利用者や利用者に掛けられた寝具などが落下するのを防止するため、ベッドの側部に側柵を設けることができるようにしている。通常、上記側柵は、上記ベッドの側部のサイドフレームに形成された取付け孔に着脱可能に取付けるようにし、不要な場合には取り外すことができるようにしている。
【０００３】
上記側柵の幅寸法は、ベッドの長さ寸法よりも短く形成され、必要に応じて複数の側柵をベッドのサイドフレームに取付けるようにしている。複数の側柵をサイドフレームに取付けると、隣り合う側柵の端部間に隙間が生じることがあり、その場合、その隙間に物や利用者の身体の一部が挟まることがある。そのため、上記隙間を隣り合う側柵の端部を連結する連結柵でカバーするということが行なわれている。
【０００４】
従来、上記連結柵としては特願平８−１８２４８５号公報に示される構成が知られている。この公報に示された連結柵は、隣り合う一対の側柵の上部横枠部材と下部横枠部材とを外側から挟み込み架け渡すようにした、第１の連結横杆と第２の連結横杆とを有し、これら横杆の中途部にはそれぞれ支柱部材を連結し、これら支柱部材を伸縮自在に連結して固定手段で固定することで、一対の側柵間に固定保持するようにいている。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、従来の連結柵は、一方の支柱部材に他方の支柱部材をスライド可能に挿入して一対の支柱部材を伸縮自在とし、さらに一方の支柱部材に締め付けボルトを捩じ込むことで、これら一対の支柱部材を固定できるようにしている。
【０００６】
このような構成の連結柵を隣り合う一対の側柵に取付けるためには、締め付けボルトを緩めた状態で、第１の連結横杆と第２の連結横杆とを、側柵の上部横杆部材と下部横杆部材とを挟む状態に位置決めし、その状態で締め付けボルトを締め込まなければならない。
【０００７】
つまり、一対の横杆部材を所定の位置に位置決めし、その位置決め状態を保持しながら締め付けボルトを締め込まなければならない。そのため、連結柵の取付け作業がし難いということがあるばかりか、一対の支柱部材や締め付けボルトが必要となることで、部品点数の増大や構造の煩雑化を招くということがある。
【０００８】
この発明は、簡単な構造であって、しかも隣り合う一対の側柵に対して容易に取付けたり、取り外すことができるようにしたベッド用連結柵を提供することにある。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１の発明は、ベッドの側部に設けられる複数の側柵間の隙間をカバーするベッド用連結柵であって、
基部材と、
この基部材に一端部が回動可能に連結された連結柵と、
上記基部材に設けられこの基部材を隣り合う一方の側柵の上部に係止手段を介して着脱可能に取付ける第１の帯状部材と、
上記連結柵の他端部に設けられこの他端部を隣り合う他方の側柵の上部に係止手段を介して着脱可能に取付ける第２の帯状部材とを具備し、
上記第２の帯状部材による上記連結柵の他端部の取付け状態を解除したときに、この連結柵は一方の側柵の上部に回動可能であることを特徴とするベッド用連結柵にある。
【００１１】
この発明によれば、連結柵を係止手段を有する帯状部材によって側柵に取付けるため、その取付け作業や取外し作業を容易に行なうことが可能となる。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照しながらこの発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【００１３】
図１乃至図４はこの発明の第１の実施の形態を示し、図１はベッドのサイドフレーム１に一対の側柵２を取付けた状態を示す斜視図である。すなわち、側柵２は枠部３を有し、この枠部３の下辺４ａには一対の脚部５が設けられている。これら脚部５は上記サイドフレ−ム１の上面に開口形成された取付け孔６に着脱可能に挿入される。それによって、一対の側柵２は上記サイドフレーム１に着脱可能に支持されるようになっている。
【００１４】
隣り合う一対の側柵２間には隙間７が形成され、この隙間７の上端は連結柵８によって塞がれている。この連結柵８は断面形状が円弧状をなした部材からなり、この連結柵８の一端部側は切り欠き部９によって帯板部１１に形成されている。
【００１５】
図２と図３に示すように、上記帯板部１１の下面末端部には、断面円弧状で、連結柵８に比べて長さ寸法が十分に短い基部材１２がピン１３によってガタのある状態で回動可能に連結されている。この基部材１２と上記帯板部１１との間には隙間があり、この隙間にはウレタンフォームなどの弾性部材１４が設けられている。
【００１６】
それによって、連結柵８は、ピン１３を支点として上記基部材１２に対してピン１３の軸線と交差する方向である、水平方向に回動可能であるとともに、上記弾性部材１４を弾性変形させながらピン１３に連結された一端を支点として他端を上記水平方向と交差する上下方向に変位させることができるようになっている。
【００１７】
上記基部材１２の外面の径方向一端には布地や合成樹脂フィルムなどの可撓性の材料からなる第１の帯状部材１５が長手方向を周方向に向けて一端部の内面を固着して設けられている。この第１の帯状部材１５の他端部の内面には係止手段としての第１の面ファスナ１６が設けられている。上記基部材１２の外面の径方向他端には、図４に示すように上記第１の面ファスナ１６が着脱可能に係脱する係止手段としての第２の面ファスナ１７が固着されている。
【００１８】
上記連結柵８の他端部の外面の径方向一端部には、第１の帯状部材１５と同様、可撓性を有する材料によって帯状に形成された第２の帯状部材２１が長手方向を周方向に向けて一端部の内面を固着している。この第２の帯状部材２１には、一端部の外面に係止手段としての第３の面ファスナ２３が取着され、他端部の内面に上記第３の面ファスナ２３に着脱可能に係着する係止手段としての第４の面ファスナ２４が取着されている。
【００１９】
上記構成の連結柵８は、図１に示すように一端部に設けられた基部材１２を隣り合う一対の側柵２の一方の上辺４ｂに係合載置し、他端部を他方の側柵８の上辺４ｂに係合させて載置する。
【００２０】
ついで、上記基部材１２に一端が取着された第１の帯状部材１５の他端部を、図４に示すように一方の側柵２の上辺４ｂの下側を通して上記基部材１２の径方向他端側に回し、その径方向他端側に設けられた第２の面ファスナ１７に、第１の帯状部材１５の他端に設けられた第１の面ファスナ１６を係着する。それによって、連結柵８の一端に連結された基部材１２が一方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに固定されることになる。
【００２１】
つぎに、連結柵８の他端に設けられた第２の帯状部材２１を他方の側柵２の上辺４ｂの下側を通して連結柵８の他端部の周方向に回し、その他端部の内面に設けられた第４の面ファスナ２３を一端部の外面に設けられた第３の面ファスナ２２に係着する。それによって、基部材１２の他端部は他方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに固定されることになる。
【００２２】
このように、隣り合う一対の側柵２の上辺４ｂ間に、これら側柵２間の隙間７の開放端をカバーする状態で連結柵８を設ければ、この連結柵８によって上記隙間７に物や利用者の身体の一部などが挟まるのを防止することができる。
【００２３】
上記連結柵８は、上記隙間７の開放した上端だけしかカバーしていない。しかしながら、通常、一対の側柵２間の隙間７に物や身体の一部を挟み込んで容易に抜くことができない事態になるのは、その隙間７の上端から挟み込んだときであって、側方から挟み込んだときには、たとえば挟み込んだ方向と同方向に引くことで容易に抜くことができる。そのため、連結柵８によって隙間７の上端をカバーすれば、その隙間７に物や身体の一部などを抜けない状態に挟み込むのを防止することができる。
【００２４】
連結柵８が取付けられた状態で、たとえば一方或いは両方の側柵２をサイドフレーム１から取り外す場合には、連結柵８の他端部を側柵２の上辺４ｂに固定した第２の帯状部材２１の第３の面ファスナ２２と第４の面ファスナ２３との係着を外す。
【００２５】
ついで、図１に鎖線で示すように連結柵８を基部材１２に枢着されたピン１３を支点として一方の側柵２側へ回動させ、その上辺４ｂに係合載置する。このとき、連結柵８の断面形状が円弧状であるため、この連結柵８は他方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに当たって円滑に回動させることができない虞があるが、ピン１３との連結部分には基部材１２と連結柵８との間に弾性部材１４が設けられている。
【００２６】
そのため、弾性部材１４を弾性変形させることで、連結柵８はピン１３に枢着された一端部を支点として他端部を上方へ変位させることができるから、他端部を上方へ持ち上げながら水平方向に回動させれば、他方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに当たることなく円滑に回動させることができる。
【００２７】
このように、連結柵８を回動させれば、この連結柵８による一対の側柵２の連結状態が解除されるから、一方の側柵２或いは他方の側柵２のいずれであってもサイドフレーム１から取り外すことができる。
【００２８】
上記連結柵８は、側柵２をサイドフレーム１から取り外しても、一方の側柵２に取付けられている。そのため、連結柵８は側柵２と一体の状態で保管できるから、紛失するのを防止できるばかりか、取り扱いが容易である。
【００２９】
なお、連結柵８を一方の側柵２側へ回動させたならば、この連結柵８の他端に設けられた第２の帯状部材２１によってその他端部を一方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに保持固定すれば、連結柵８が側柵２に対してがた付くことがなくなるから、その側柵２の取り扱いが容易となる。
【００３０】
このように、一対の側柵２に対する連結柵８の取付けは、第１、第２の連結部材１５，２１を、それぞれ各側柵の上辺４ｂに巻き付け、その巻き付け状態を面ファスナ１６，１７及び２２，２３を係着させることで保持すればよい。したがって、側柵２に対する連結柵８の取付け作業を簡単かつ迅速に行なうことができる。
【００３１】
また、連結柵８の取外し作業は、連結柵８の他端の第２の帯状部材２１の面ファスナ２２，２３の係着状態を外し、上記連結柵８をピン１３を支点として回転させればよいから、取付け作業と同様、簡単かつ迅速に行なうことができる。
【００３２】
図５と図６はこの発明の第２の実施の形態を示す。この第２の実施の形態の連結柵８Ａは不要時に一対の側柵２から取り外すようになっている。つまり、連結柵８Ａは断面半円形状をなしていて、その一端部と他端部との外面には、布地やフィルム状の合成樹脂などによって形成された可撓性の第１の帯状部材３１と第２の帯状部材３２との一端部が固着されている。各帯状部材３１，３２の一端部の外面にはそれぞれ係止手段としての第１の面ファスナ３３が取付けられ、他端部の内面には係止手段としての第２の面ファスナ３４が取付けられている。
【００３３】
上記連結柵８Ａは、サイドフレーム１に設けられた一対の側柵２の一方の上辺４ａに一端部を係合させ、他端部を他方の側柵２の上辺４ｂに係合させて載置される。ついで、一端部と他端部とに設けられた第１、第２の帯状部材３１，３２をそれぞれ各側柵２の上辺４ａの下側を通して連結柵８Ａに巻回し、他端部の内面に設けられた第２の面ファスナ３４を一端部の外面に設けられた第１の面ファスナ３３に係着させる。それによって、連結柵８Ａは一対の側柵２間の隙間７の上端開放部分をカバーする状態で取付けられることになる。
【００３４】
また、一対の側柵２の一方或いは両方をサイドフレーム１から取り外す際には、第１、第２の帯状部材３１，３２による連結柵８Ａの取付け状態を解除し、この連結柵８Ａを取り外せば、各側柵２をサイドフィレ−ム１から取り外すことができる。
【００３５】
このような構成の連結柵８Ａによれば、上記第１の実施の形態と同様、一対の側柵２に対して連結柵８Ａの取付けや取外しを容易に、しかも迅速に行なうことができる。しかも、連結柵８Ａの一端部と他端部とにそれぞれ面ファスナ３３，３４を有する第１、第２の帯状部材３１，３２を設けるだけでよいから、わずかな部品点数で、簡単な構成とすることができる。
【００３６】
この発明における連結柵８，８Ａの断面形状は半円形状に限られず、帯板状や丸棒状などであっても差し支えなク、その形状は限定されるものでない。
【００３７】
また、係止手段として面ファスナに限定されず、ボタンやホックなどの帯状部材を所定部位に巻いた状態で止めることができる他の手段であっても差し支えない。
【００３８】
【発明の効果】
以上のようにこの発明によれば、隣り合う一対の側柵の隙間の上端部をカバーする連結柵を、係止手段を有する帯状部材によって側柵に着脱可能に取付けるようにした。
【００３９】
そのため、連結柵の構成を簡単にすることができ、しかもその取付けや取外し作業を容易に、しかも迅速に行なうことが可能となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a connecting rail for a bed for covering a gap between adjacent side rails when a plurality of side rails are provided on a side portion of the bed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in a bed for nursing care or the like, a side fence can be provided on the side of the bed in order to prevent a user or a bedding hung on the user from falling. Usually, the side fence is detachably attached to an attachment hole formed in a side frame on the side portion of the bed, and can be removed when unnecessary.
[0003]
The width dimension of the said side fence is formed shorter than the length dimension of a bed, and it is made to attach a some side fence to the side frame of a bed as needed. When a plurality of side rails are attached to the side frame, a gap may be generated between the end portions of adjacent side rails. In that case, an object or a part of the user's body may be caught in the gap. Therefore, the gap is covered with a connecting fence that connects the ends of adjacent side fences.
[0004]
Conventionally, the structure shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 8-182485 is known as the connecting fence. The connection fence shown by this gazette is the 1st connection recumbent and the 2nd connection recumbent which sandwiched and bridged the upper horizontal frame member and the lower horizontal frame member of a pair of adjacent side fences from the outside. The strut members are connected to the middle parts of the reeds, and the strut members are connected to each other in a stretchable manner and fixed by a fixing means so as to be fixedly held between the pair of side rails. Yes.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional connecting fence, the other strut member is slidably inserted into one strut member so that the pair of strut members can be expanded and contracted, and a tightening bolt is screwed into the one strut member. The support member can be fixed.
[0006]
In order to attach the connecting fence having such a configuration to a pair of adjacent side fences, the first connecting reed and the second connecting reed are connected to the upper reed of the side fence with the tightening bolts loosened. It is necessary to position the member and the lower recumbent member in a sandwiched state and tighten the tightening bolt in that state.
[0007]
That is, it is necessary to position the pair of recumbent members at predetermined positions and tighten the tightening bolts while maintaining the positioning state. For this reason, not only is it difficult to attach the connecting fence, but the need for a pair of support members and tightening bolts may increase the number of parts and complicate the structure.
[0008]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bed connecting fence which has a simple structure and can be easily attached to or detached from a pair of adjacent side fences.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention of claim 1 is a bed connecting fence that covers gaps between a plurality of side fences provided on the side of the bed,
A base member;
A connecting fence whose one end is rotatably connected to the base member;
A first belt-like member which is provided on the base member and is detachably attached to the upper part of one side fence adjacent to the base member via a locking means;
A second belt-like member that is provided at the other end of the connecting fence and detachably attaches the other end to the upper part of the other adjacent side fence via a locking means;
The connection fence is capable of rotating to the upper part of one side fence when the attachment state of the other end of the connection fence by the second belt-shaped member is released. .
[0011]
According to this invention, since the connecting fence is attached to the side fence by the belt-like member having the locking means, the attaching operation and the removing operation can be easily performed.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a pair of side fences 2 are attached to a side frame 1 of a bed. That is, the side fence 2 has a frame portion 3, and a pair of legs 5 is provided on the lower side 4 a of the frame portion 3. These leg portions 5 are detachably inserted into attachment holes 6 formed in the upper surface of the side frame 1. Accordingly, the pair of side rails 2 are detachably supported on the side frame 1.
[0014]
A gap 7 is formed between a pair of adjacent side fences 2, and the upper end of the gap 7 is closed by a connecting fence 8. The connection fence 8 is made of a member whose cross-sectional shape is an arc shape, and one end side of the connection fence 8 is formed in the band plate portion 11 by a notch portion 9.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a base member 12 having a circular arc cross section and having a sufficiently short length compared to the connecting fence 8 is loosened by a pin 13 at the lower end portion of the band plate portion 11. It is connected so that it can rotate in a state. There is a gap between the base member 12 and the band plate portion 11, and an elastic member 14 such as urethane foam is provided in the gap.
[0016]
Accordingly, the connecting fence 8 can be rotated in the horizontal direction, which is a direction intersecting the axis of the pin 13 with respect to the base member 12 with the pin 13 as a fulcrum, and the elastic member 14 is elastically deformed. With one end connected to the pin 13 as a fulcrum, the other end can be displaced in the vertical direction intersecting the horizontal direction.
[0017]
A first belt-like member 15 made of a flexible material such as a cloth or a synthetic resin film is provided at one end in the radial direction of the outer surface of the base member 12 so that the inner surface of the one end is fixed in the circumferential direction. It has been. The first surface fastener 16 as a locking means is provided on the inner surface of the other end of the first belt-shaped member 15. As shown in FIG. 4, a second surface fastener 17 as a locking means for detachably engaging the first surface fastener 16 is fixed to the other radial end of the outer surface of the base member 12. .
[0018]
Similar to the first belt-like member 15, a second belt-like member 21 formed in a belt-like shape by a flexible material is provided at one end of the outer surface of the other end of the connecting fence 8 in the longitudinal direction. The inner surface of one end is fixed in the direction. The second belt-like member 21 has a third surface fastener 23 as a locking means attached to the outer surface of one end and is detachably attached to the third surface fastener 23 on the inner surface of the other end. fourth surface fastener 24 as locking means for is attached.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 1, the connecting fence 8 having the above-described configuration is configured such that a base member 12 provided at one end is engaged and placed on one upper side 4 b of a pair of adjacent side fences 2 and the other end is placed on the other side. It engages with the upper side 4b of the fence 8 and mounts it.
[0020]
Next, the other end of the first belt-like member 15 having one end attached to the base member 12 passes through the lower side of the upper side 4b of the one side rail 2 as shown in FIG. The first surface fastener 16 provided on the other end of the first belt-like member 15 is engaged with the second surface fastener 17 provided on the other end side in the radial direction. As a result, the base member 12 connected to one end of the connection fence 8 is fixed to the upper side 4b of the one side fence 2.
[0021]
Next, the second belt-like member 21 provided at the other end of the connecting fence 8 is rotated in the circumferential direction of the other end of the connecting fence 8 through the lower side of the upper side 4b of the other side fence 2, and the inner surface of the other end. to engaged with the third surface fastener 22 provided a fourth surface fastener 23 provided on the outer surface of one end portion. Thereby, the other end of the base member 12 is fixed to the upper side 4 b of the other side fence 2.
[0022]
Thus, if the connection fence 8 is provided between the upper sides 4b of a pair of adjacent side fences 2 so as to cover the open ends of the gaps 7 between these side fences 2, the connection fence 8 allows the gaps 7 to be formed. It is possible to prevent an object or a part of a user's body from being caught.
[0023]
The connection fence 8 covers only the upper end where the gap 7 is opened. However, a situation in which an object or a part of the body cannot be easily removed by being caught in the gap 7 between the pair of side rails 2 is usually when the gap 7 is caught from the upper end, Can be easily pulled out by pulling in the same direction as the sandwiched direction. Therefore, if the upper end of the gap 7 is covered by the connecting fence 8, it is possible to prevent the gap 7 from being caught in a state where an object or part of the body cannot be removed.
[0024]
For example, when one or both of the side rails 2 are removed from the side frame 1 with the connecting rail 8 attached, a second belt-like member in which the other end of the connecting rail 8 is fixed to the upper side 4b of the side rail 2 is used. The third surface fastener 22 and the fourth surface fastener 23 are disengaged from each other.
[0025]
Next, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 1, the connecting fence 8 is pivoted toward the one side fence 2 with the pin 13 pivotally attached to the base member 12 as a fulcrum, and is placed on the upper side 4b. At this time, since the cross-sectional shape of the connecting fence 8 is an arc shape, the connecting fence 8 may hit the upper side 4b of the other side fence 2 and cannot be smoothly rotated. An elastic member 14 is provided between the base member 12 and the connecting fence 8.
[0026]
Therefore, by elastically deforming the elastic member 14, the connecting fence 8 can be displaced upward with the other end being lifted upward with the one end pivotally attached to the pin 13 as a fulcrum. If it is rotated in the direction, it can be smoothly rotated without hitting the upper side 4b of the other side fence 2.
[0027]
In this way, if the connecting fence 8 is rotated, the connected state of the pair of side fences 2 by the connecting fence 8 is released, so that either the one side fence 2 or the other side fence 2 can be used. It can be removed from the side frame 1.
[0028]
The connecting fence 8 is attached to one side fence 2 even if the side fence 2 is removed from the side frame 1. Therefore, since the connection fence 8 can be stored in an integrated state with the side fence 2, it can be prevented from being lost and is easy to handle.
[0029]
In addition, if the connection fence 8 is rotated to the one side fence 2 side, the other end of the connection fence 8 is provided on the other end of the connection fence 8 with the upper side 4b of the one side fence 2. Since the connecting fence 8 will not rattle against the side fence 2 if it is held and fixed to the side fence 2, the handling of the side fence 2 becomes easy.
[0030]
As described above, the attachment of the connecting fence 8 to the pair of side fences 2 is performed by winding the first and second connecting members 15 and 21 around the upper side 4b of each side fence, respectively, and changing the winding state to the surface fasteners 16 and 17 and What is necessary is just to hold | maintain by engaging 22 and 23. FIG. Therefore, the attachment work of the connection fence 8 with respect to the side fence 2 can be performed easily and rapidly.
[0031]
Further, the removal work of connecting fence 8, release the fastening state of the surface fastener 22, 23 of the second belt-shaped member 21 of the other end of the connecting rail 8, it is rotated with the connecting fence 8 pins 13 as the fulcrum Since it is good, it can be carried out easily and quickly as in the case of the mounting operation.
[0032]
5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. The connecting fence 8A of the second embodiment is removed from the pair of side fences 2 when not needed. That is, the connecting fence 8A has a semicircular cross section, and a flexible first belt-like member 31 formed of cloth or film-like synthetic resin on the outer surface of one end and the other end thereof. And one end of the second belt-like member 32 are fixed. A first surface fastener 33 as a locking means is attached to the outer surface of one end of each strip member 31, 32, and a second surface fastener 34 as a locking means is attached to the inner surface of the other end. ing.
[0033]
The connecting fence 8A is placed with one end engaged with one upper side 4a of the pair of side fences 2 provided on the side frame 1, and with the other end engaged with the upper side 4b of the other side fence 2. Is done. Next, the first and second belt-like members 31 and 32 provided at one end and the other end are wound around the connecting fence 8A through the lower side of the upper side 4a of each side fence 2, respectively, on the inner surface of the other end. It is engaged with the first fastener 33 provided with a second fastener 34 provided on the outer surface of the end portion. Accordingly, the connecting fence 8A is attached in a state of covering the upper end open portion of the gap 7 between the pair of side fences 2.
[0034]
Further, when removing one or both of the pair of side fences 2 from the side frame 1, the attachment state of the connection fence 8A by the first and second belt-like members 31 and 32 is canceled and the connection fence 8A is removed. Each side fence 2 can be removed from the side frame 1.
[0035]
According to the connection fence 8A having such a configuration, the connection fence 8A can be easily and quickly attached to and detached from the pair of side fences 2 as in the first embodiment. Moreover, first, because it is only provided with a second strip-shaped members 31 and 32 each having a surface fastener 33, 34 to the one end and the other end of the connecting rail 8A, with little parts, simple structure and can do.
[0036]
The cross-sectional shape of the connecting fences 8 and 8A in the present invention is not limited to a semicircular shape, and may be a belt plate shape or a round bar shape, but the shape is not limited.
[0037]
The present invention is not limited to a surface fastener as a locking means, even other means can stop strip, such as buttons and hooks in the state wound at a predetermined portion no problem.
