Description

The present invention relates to a skirt guard for a wedding dress for a wheelchair.

Conventionally, in a wheelchair, skirt guards are arranged on both sides of a seat. This skirt guard uses the same material as the seat seat made of a thick and durable cloth material, or a hard material made of a synthetic resin plate material, etc., which is attached to a chair frame made of a metal pipe or the like. The chair is mounted upright on both sides of the seat. And this skirt guard is the axle part where the side part of the skirt on the side of the waist of the wheelchair user and the lower edge part of both sides of the suit rub against the wheel part (rear wheel and hand rim) or rotate. It is arranged to prevent the user's waist and thighs from sitting in the chair width direction so that they can be seated stably. In recent years, a contrivance has also been proposed in which the skirt guard and the armrest disposed above the skirt guard are detachable together with the split type frame so that the user can easily get on and off (Patent Document 1). reference).
In the wheelchair, the skirt guard may be referred to as a suit guard, but the skirt guard and the suit guard are the same, and hereinafter, the suit guard is also expressed as the skirt guard.

By the way, there is a demand for a wheelchair user to be able to sit in a wheelchair in a wedding dress at a wedding reception. If you sit on a wheelchair wearing a dress with a wide skirt such as a wedding dress, cover both sides of the wheelchair seat, including the wheel, at the skirt. Because the wheel part completely different from the color of the dress is hidden, the attractiveness of the dress is not impaired.
However, the upper part of the skirt can be spread over the armrest to cover the skirt, or in the case of a wheelchair without an armrest, the skirt guard can be covered over the skirt. Since the inner side of the skirt hangs down along the side of the wheel and the material on the inner side of the skirt overlaps the wheel and hand rim, when moving at the banquet at a wedding reception, the hand rim and skirt of the rotating wheel There is a problem that the inner fabric (tulle fabric, which will be described later) and the like rub against each other strongly, and the skirt hem can be easily pulled under the wheel.

In general, a tulle fabric with excellent shape retention is used under the skirt (inside the skirt) in order to make the skirt of a prom dress wide, and the shape that expands the tulle fabric is processed. Wearing a pannier with a skirt, a skirt top fabric is placed around the pannier. Even in the case of wheelchair users, the tulle fabric under the skirt is used at the height of the waist of the wedding dress wearer so that the upper part of the skirt exceeds the armrest and skirt guard as described above. A pannier that has been processed so as to expand in the left-right direction and forward is created. By wearing such a pannier, it is possible to bring out a soft bulge and spread to the skirt as in a normal wedding dress.
However, if the wearer's waist extends in a substantially horizontal direction, the upper part of the skirt becomes somewhat heavy, and the shape of the spread cannot be maintained only by the function of the pannier. There is a problem that the slope falls down.

Although it is possible to create a pannier by combining bones (bone members) with tulle fabric, the processing of the combination of tulle fabric and bone becomes very cumbersome and it is difficult to make folds and overlaps with tulle fabric. . In other words, the pannier is created by changing the folding and layering according to the type of tulle fabric, and the softness and layering of the pannier can be seen through the upper fabric of the skirt. Because it is an important element to draw out, the combination of bones that can easily eliminate the advantages of tulle fabrics could not be adopted.
Therefore, in view of the above circumstances, the present invention prevents the upper part of the skirt extending around the waist from tilting downward with a simple configuration even if a wheelchair user wears a wedding dress and sits on the wheelchair. The purpose is to maintain the design of the wedding dress created according to the wheelchair user.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and is located on both sides of a wheelchair seat so that the skirt portion of the wedding dress worn by the wheelchair user covers both the wheelchair seat and the wheel. In a skirt guard for a wedding dress, a guard body attached to a chair frame and a lattice in which metal wires are assembled in a lattice shape, the chair is erected along the inner surface of the guard body in the height direction of the chair . It is a thin vertical plate portion whose position is higher than the upper height position of the seat side support portion of the wheelchair, and a lattice in which metal wires are assembled in a lattice shape, and is continuously connected to the upper end of the vertical plate portion. It consists of a horizontal plate portion that protrudes from the upper end through the upper side of the seat side support portion and the upper portion of the wheel portion toward the outside in the chair width direction, and the protruding end of the horizontal plate portion is at the wheel portion . hand rim It provides skirt guard for wheelchair wedding dresses, characterized in that from the upper position of the outermost end is located outside the chair width direction, it is to solve the above problems.

  According to the present invention, since the thin vertical plate portion is arranged to stand along the guard body attached to the chair frame, it does not give a cramped feeling to the user sitting on the wheelchair, Since the vertical plate portion stands between the guard body and the thigh of the wheelchair user who is seated, the horizontal plate portion projects toward the chair side of the wheelchair. And by placing the upper part of the skirt on the horizontal plate part, the skirt's hem comes away from the ground contact position of the wheel, and the wheel part and the inner surface side of the skirt rub against each other even if the wheelchair is moved. It is also possible to prevent the wheels from pulling in the skirt hem.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a wheelchair skirt guard. The skirt guard 1 is located on the side of a wheelchair user seated in the wheelchair 2 and is attached to the arm pipe 4 on both sides of the seat seat 3 and part of the chair frame as shown in the figure. It is composed of a guard body 5 that is fixed and seated on the waist side or thigh side of a wheelchair user, and a plate member 6 that is bent in a substantially square shape.
The plate member 6 is formed by bending a thin plate-like object in which metal wires are assembled in a lattice shape at a substantially central position at a substantially right angle, and stands in the chair height direction along the inner surface of the guard body 5. The thin vertical plate portion 7 and the horizontal plate portion 8 which is continuously thinned continuously from the upper end of the vertical plate portion 7, and the horizontal plate portion 8 is approximately 90 with respect to the vertical plate portion 7. It projects almost horizontally toward the outside in the direction of the degree. The plate member 6 itself is made with relatively high rigidity, and the overall shape including the angle of the bent portion where the vertical plate portion 7 and the horizontal plate portion 8 are continuous is the same as that of the wedding dress as will be described later. Even if the upper part of the skirt is placed from above, it is provided so as not to cause a large deformation.

As described above, the skirt guard 1 includes the guard body 5 attached and fixed to the chair frame of the wheelchair 2, the vertical plate portion 7 standing along the inner surface of the guard body 5, and the chair width from the upper portion of the vertical plate portion 7. The horizontal plate portion 8 extends substantially horizontally toward the outside in the direction, and the vertical plate portion 7 is placed between the waist side and the thigh side of the wheelchair user sitting on the wheelchair and the guard body 5. By inserting, the state which the said horizontal board part 8 protrudes toward the outward in a chair width direction is maintained.
As shown in the drawing, the height of the upper end of the vertical plate portion 7 is higher than the height position of the upper portion of the seat side support portion 10 made up of the guard body 5 and the arm pipe 4 and the upper position of the seat side support portion 10. Thus, the horizontal plate portion 8 projects outward. In the illustrated example, the seat side support portion 10 does not include an armrest. However, even when the seat side support portion is provided with an armrest, the height position of the upper end of the vertical plate portion 7 is the position of the armrest. Therefore, the lateral plate 8 protrudes outward at a position above the armrest. And the overhang | projection end 9 of the horizontal plate part 8 is located in the chair width direction outer side rather than the upper position of the outermost end (outermost position of a hand rim) 11 of a wheel part through the upper part of a wheel part like illustration. It is provided as follows.

  As described above, the skirt guard 1 is provided so that the overhanging end 9 of the horizontal plate portion 8 is located on the outer side in the chair width direction from the position above the outermost end 11 of the wheel portion, so that a wedding dress is worn. If the wheelchair user is seated in the wheelchair and the upper part of the skirt of the wedding dress has been processed in a form that spreads to the left and right (chair width direction) or forward, the widened part of the pannier under the skirt is booked. By placing it on the horizontal plate portion 8 of the skirt guard 1, it is possible to support the expanding portion of the upper portion of the skirt from below. Then, the inner surface side of the skirt that goes over the position of the horizontal plate portion 8 is separated from the side surface of the wheel portion with a distance 12 and the wheel side surface, the hand rim and the pannier in the skirt strongly rub against each other when the wheelchair is moved. In addition, since the wheel is separated from the lower end position of the wheel, the skirt skirt is not drawn into the wheel.

It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the skirt guard of the wheelchair which concerns on this invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows the state which put the skirt of the wedding dress on the skirt guard.
