In order to solve such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a diaper-type assistance aid that can be easily attached and detached.

  The invention according to claim 1 is an assistance belt, and is composed of a diaper-type cloth 1 that covers the waist, buttocks, crotch, and abdomen of the person being assisted, and a coupling member. It is a non-stretchable fabric, and is composed of two layers of a front cloth 1b and a back cloth 1a, and the connecting member is a continuous single non-stretchable plate-like first string body 2, It is the structure by which the fitting part 3 was mounted | worn by the both ends of the string 2, and the front cloth 1b and the back cloth 1a in the cloth 1 so that two coupling members may cross | intersect X shape in the crotch part of the cloth 1 Passing between the two layers, the rear side of the two crossed coupling members passes through the left and right hips from the crossed crotch part, respectively, and protrudes from the cloth 1 once at the left and right hips, and then returns to the cloth 1 again. Are formed so that the end portions protrude from the cloth 1 in the left and right front abdomen, and vice versa. The front side of the two crossed coupling members passes through the lower abdomen from the crossed crotch parts, and is passed through the left and right front abdomen so that the ends protrude from the cloth 1. The diaper-type assisting belt is characterized in that the two coupling members constitute a figure eight structure as a whole by coupling the fitting portions 3 at the ends of the coupling member protruding from the left and right respectively.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the second coupling in which the diaper-type assistance belt is a single plate-like second string body 6, and the fitting portions 5 are attached to both ends of the string body 6. The member is passed between the two layers of the front cloth 1b and the back cloth 1a in the entire waist of the cloth 1, and the second coupling member once protrudes from the cloth 1 to the surface 1b side on the back of the waist and returns to the cloth 1 again. This is a diaper type assisting belt characterized in that a handle portion is formed, and both ends of the left and right second coupling members are coupled to each other via the fitting portion 5 on the abdomen side.

  The invention according to claim 3 is that in the diaper-type assistance belt, a single plate-like third string body 4 that does not expand and contract is passed through the two layers of the front cloth 1b and the back cloth 1a in the heel part of the cloth 1. The diaper-type assistance according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the handle 4 is formed by the cord body 4 once protruding from the cloth 1 toward the surface 1b and returning into the cloth 1 again at the heel part. It is a belt.

  The caregiver lifts and moves the caregiver in a stable posture without unnecessary force by grasping the handle portion of the diaper-type assistance belt with multiple handle portions at a position where it is easy to hold. Things will be possible.

  The handle portion has a sufficient strength because it consists of a single plate-like string body. At the same time, the string body sandwiched between the two layers of cloth of the assistance belt functions to reinforce the assistance belt. is there.

  Since the assistance belt is a diaper type, the weight of the person being assisted is distributed over the entire waist and buttocks, and there is little risk of local compression, and it is easy to put on and take off and can ride on a wheelchair. In this way, discomfort and anxiety are alleviated, and both are safe and comfortable.

   This diaper type belt is for people with physical disabilities and bedridden conditions, but it can be used by physical therapists for standing up training of caregivers who are difficult to hold standing on both feet in rehabilitation, It can also be applied to the rehabilitation field.

    Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

    FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a diaper type assisting belt according to the present invention, FIG. 1 (a) is a front perspective view, and FIG. 1 (b) is a rear perspective view. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the structure of a diaper type assisting belt according to the present invention. FIG. 2 (a) is a front view and FIG. 2 (b) is a rear view.

When the person to whom the diaper-type assistance belt of the present invention is attached is lifted, the diaper-type cloth 1 for supporting the whole body is reinforced and the plate-like two intersecting at the crotch portion for attaching the assistance belt at the abdomen. Both ends of a plate-like second string body 6 for forming a handle part on the waist part of the assist belt and attaching the assist belt to the waist part. It is also possible to comprise the second coupling member having the fitting portion 5 on the inner side and further comprising the third string body 4 forming the handle portion with the collar portion of the assistance belt. These coupling members and the second coupling member can be configured to be attached between the cloths 1 of the two-layer assistance belt of the front surface 1b and the back surface 1a.

    It is desirable to prepare diaper belts of various sizes according to the physique, age, and gender of the person being assisted. However, it is desirable that the width of the cloth at the crotch is large enough not to limit the movement of the hip joint.

The diaper fabric 1 is made of cotton or nylon because the diaper-type fabric 1 supports the overall weight, and a large force is applied locally at the handle. However, a strong fabric can be used. Not limited.

The diaper type belt is composed of a front surface 1b and a back surface 1a. Here, the side where the handle portion comes out is the front surface, and the side where the handle portion is not present is the back surface.

The coupling member and the second coupling member are made up of the string bodies 2 and 6 and the fitting portions 3 and 5 for coupling them at both ends. The strings 2 and 6 may be made of nylon or cotton, but are not limited to this as long as they are strong and not stretchable. It is desirable that the fitting portions 3 and 5 are made of a material that does not easily dislodge or break even when a large force is applied and that does not pose a danger when touched by the body, but can be easily attached and detached. For example, a fitting device as shown in FIG. 4 or a general buckle / fastener can be considered.
