Description

  In the present invention, when a senior citizen or a physically handicapped person is transferred to a wheelchair from a bed, or sitting on a lift or a chair accompanying bathing, etc. , It relates to the standing assistance used when seated.

  Standing aids are generally used when a person who is difficult to stand up stands, moves in a wheelchair, or sits on a lift or chair. Depending on the physical condition of the caregiver, the lift device that supports the overall weight, the standing assistance mechanism attached to the wheelchair, the spring-up seating surface using the spring, the assist device that causes the foot to be fixed, the tow band that is caused by the helper (Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) are disclosed.

  Among these, the traction band is less expensive than other methods, and has the advantage that it can be used in various situations because it is lightweight and portable.

  In the traction band shown in Patent Document 1, a waist band is attached to a person being assisted in a sitting posture, and then the traction band is caused to be inclined upward in the waist band, thereby guiding the assistant to a standing posture.

  In the traction band shown in Patent Document 2, instead of the waist band of Patent Document 1, the traction band has an assistance band body composed of a waistband band and a buttocks band band, and causes the traction band attached to the assistance band body to be obliquely upward, Guide the assistant to a standing posture.

  However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is advantageous in that the assistant can grab the tow band and cause the person to be assisted, but the person to be assisted must be lifted during wearing. In addition, there is a problem that the burden on the caregiver is heavy and pressure is applied to the cared person in the narrow area of the band, and there is a risk of fracture in elderly people with weak bones, and the caregiver tends to become unstable during operation .

  In the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 devised to solve this problem, it can be attached to the person being assisted relatively easily without making a mistake in the direction, and enables a stable triggering operation. Although it is beneficial, it does not eliminate the hassle of wearing work and does not leave the area of special tools that need to be learned. For an assistant who is accustomed to work caused by his / her own body, it may not always contribute to the reduction of work.

  Further, neither of the above methods is suitable for supporting the standing or transfer of a person who has become slippery due to the biting or slipping of the band, which has become wet and slippery, such as bathing assistance.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the above-mentioned troublesome mounting work is eliminated, and even a caregiver who becomes slippery by bathing or the like stably supports standing up. Provides a stand-up auxiliary seating surface that can support standing up at any time without wearing work by combining it with the base of the seating surface in a form that does not interfere with the person being assisted. The purpose is to do.

  The present invention has a seat surface portion that does not become uncomfortable even if it is always seated for a person being assisted, has a pulling traction band on the side to be grasped by the assistant, and is pulled through a back portion to which the traction band or the seat surface is extended. The main feature is that the thigh is wrapped and supported from the waist of the person being assisted in the raising action by combining the band and the seating surface, and at least the seating surface and the back made of a deformable material.

  It is preferable that the position where the assistant grasps the traction band connected from the side surface of the seat surface portion to the back portion is near the iliac bone, which is higher than the seat surface portion and lower than the helper's pigeon tail.

  Similarly, it forms a ring connecting the seat surface part and the back part to the traction band and the seat surface with a strong band capable of supporting the weight of the person being assisted, or the belt partly covers the back part, the traction band and the seat part. By substituting, it is preferable to maintain the strength to support the weight of the person being assisted.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when sitting on a wheelchair or the like, a seat surface portion composed of a cushion, a seat, a band, or the like, which is laid on a seating surface of the wheelchair or the like, and the person being assisted by the assistant It is composed of traction bands attached to the left and right sides of the seating surface, and the back part of the seating surface or part of the traction band wraps around the back of the seated person is the traction between the seating surface and the side surface. The band is connected to the back, and at least the seat and back are made of a deformable material, so that it can be slippery when taking a bath, etc. Even a person who is a caregiver can stably support standing up at any time without wearing work.

  According to the invention according to claim 2, the gripping position of the traction band that is gripped to cause the person being assisted comes to a position near the iliac that is higher than the seat surface and lower than the pigtail of the person being assisted, It is possible to stably support the waist of the person being assisted and to naturally perform the action caused by the assistant moving weight backward. If the gripping position of the traction band is too low, the person being assisted becomes unstable, and if the gripping position is too high, the burden on the caregiver is large.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, a belt having a strength capable of supporting the weight of the person being assisted forms a ring connecting the back portion, the traction band, and the seat surface, or the belt is one of the back portion, the traction band, and the seat surface portion. By substituting the part, the safety of the care recipient is maintained in order to maintain the overall strength.

It is a perspective view which shows the standing assistance seat surface in 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a perspective view which shows the standing assistance seat surface in 2nd embodiment of this invention. It is a side view which shows the use condition of the standing auxiliary seat surface in 1st embodiment of this invention. It is a schematic diagram which shows the gravity center movement of 1st and 2nd embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, the standing auxiliary seating surface which shows 1st embodiment is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the standing auxiliary seating surface A of the present invention is composed of a seating surface portion 1, a traction band 2, and a back portion 3 that is firmly connected to or continuous with the seating surface portion 1.

  One end of the traction band 2 is firmly connected to the seat surface portion 1 and the coupling portion 4, and the other end of the traction band 2 is firmly coupled to the back portion 3 and the coupling portion 5.

  As described above, since the traction band and the back are on the rear and side surfaces, the standing auxiliary seating surface A of the present invention does not hinder the person being assisted when sitting, so that it can always be attached and kept in use. This saves you the trouble of wearing each time.

  Further, if the gripping position of the tow band 2 is too high, it is difficult to cause the weight of the caregiver to move backward, but it is higher than the seat surface and lower than the pigeon tail of the person being assisted 7 as shown in FIGS. This can be caused by grasping the pulling band of the standing auxiliary seating surface A of the present invention in an appropriate position and moving the weight of the assistant 8 backward instead of the arm force as shown in FIG.

  At this time, if the gripping position is appropriate, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a triangle B <b> 1 connecting the standing auxiliary seating surface A on which the person being assisted 8 and the arm of the assistant 7 and the shaft leg are connected. It is caused by the rotational movement realized by moving the weight backward, and it will move from the initial angle that becomes a moderate forward bend to the final position B2 of a non-retractable angle, so that the supporter can easily stand up It can be performed.

  Since at least the seat surface portion 1 and the back portion 3 are made of a deformable material, as shown in FIG. 3, in the raising operation, the supporter's waist and thighs are wrapped and supported, The fluctuation of standing motion can be reduced.

  Below, the component of the standing auxiliary seat surface which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the seat surface portion 1 is a cloth close to a square with a side of about 30 cm that functions as a seat surface when seated, and is soft enough to be deformed so as to wrap the thigh during a standing-up assisting operation. It is made of durable cloth that is not torn, such as denim or canvas, or a resinous sheet.

  And if the seat surface is used in a wheelchair, etc., a cushioning material should be put in, and it is preferable to prevent pressure sores even if it can be used for a long time, but when used on other cushioning materials, it is durable and non-slip denim, canvas or resin It is good also as cloth only.

  Furthermore, when using it for bathing care, it is preferable to use a material such as a resin that does not absorb water and does not slip in the first seat surface.

  In addition, the shape and structure of the seating surface portion can be selected as appropriate. For example, the seat surface portion may be made into a net shape in consideration of air permeability, or may be inclined so as not to slip off the wheelchair.

  Moreover, the said seat surface part may wrap around to the back side so that it may mention later, and may serve as a back part.

  The back part connected to the rear part of the seat surface part is formed of a horizontally long rectangular cloth having a short side of about 15 cm and a long side of about 30 cm, and is soft enough to be deformed so as to wrap the lumbar part during the raising operation. It is made of a material such as denim or canvas that is not torn and is hard to slip, or a resin sheet.

  Due to the presence of the back part in the first half, it is possible to wrap and support the person from the waist to the thigh of the person being assisted together with the seating surface part during the raising operation, thereby providing stable standing support.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the back portion is positioned on the rear side of the seating surface, and is seated upright like a backrest in the sitting state by the strength of the back portion itself or by a fixing method of sewing or fixing by a pulling band described later. It is preferable not to interfere with the above.

  On the other hand, it can be deformed along with the seat surface when it is pulled up and along the thigh of the person being assisted, and can be deformed to a plane that follows the seat surface as necessary, for example, sleeping on a bed. It is possible to naturally put it on when it is inserted into the person being assisted and guided to the sitting position.

  In addition, the back part may be attached with a cloth exclusively for the back part, or the material of the seat surface part may be extended to serve the function, and the traction band may be extended to serve the function as in other embodiments described later. However, in any case, it is necessary to show sufficient strength that the fabric itself, the seam, and the like are not broken by the load applied when the person being assisted stands.

  Furthermore, when using it for bathing care, it is preferable to use a material such as a resin that does not absorb water and does not slip in the back part of the previous term.

  Note that the shape, material, and structure of the back portion can be selected as appropriate. For example, a cloth having a core material may be introduced to maintain strength.

  The traction band 2 is attached to the right and left side surfaces of the seat surface portion and the back portion.

  Each of the traction bands has one end fixed to the side surface of the seating surface and the other end fixed to the back portion, so that the back portion and the seating surface portion can be integrally wrapped and supported from the waist of the person being assisted during the raising operation. It becomes possible.

  The shape and material of the traction band can be selected as appropriate, but the position that the caregiver grasps during the wake-up operation should be near the iliac that is higher than the seat surface and lower than the helper's pigeon tail. Is preferred.

  By attaching the traction band so as to be in an appropriate gripping position as described above, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the caregiver moves his / her weight within a reasonable range where he / she does not bend too much and does not warp too much. Can be caused.

  Next, a usage example of the standing auxiliary seating surface according to the first embodiment described above will be described below.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3A, the left and right traction bands are grasped in a state where the arms are extended from the front of the person being assisted on the standing auxiliary seat surface of the present invention. At this time, it is preferable that the axis foot of the assistant is placed between the feet of the assistant, and the assistant turns his hand to the assistant's back.

  Next, the caregiver pulls the other leg not on the person being assisted on the back side while keeping the arm moderately stretched, and moves the center of gravity backward about the shaft leg as shown in FIG.

  The center of gravity movement causes a rotational movement indicated by B1 to B2 in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 so that the person being assisted naturally can be guided to stand up, and no burden is placed on the arm or waist for the person assisted.

  Also, unlike the conventional standing assistance tools, the standing assistance seat surface of the present invention saves labor of wearing because the person being assisted is always in use, so the work efficiency is good and the contact area to the person being assisted Because of the large, the stability when standing is high.

  Next, other embodiments of the standing auxiliary seating surface according to the present invention will be described below.

  The components corresponding to the components of the stand-up auxiliary seating surface of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the standing auxiliary seating surface of another embodiment is composed of a seating surface portion 1, left and right traction bands 2, and a back portion 3, as in the first embodiment, and one end of each traction band is a seat. The surface is connected to the connecting portion 4, and the other end is connected to the back portion and the connecting portion 5.

  In FIG. 2, the band 6 also serves as a part of the traction band 2 and the back portion 3, and forms a ring that connects the inside or the bottom surface of the seat surface portion 1.

  And the ring-shaped belt | band | zone 6 maintains sufficient intensity | strength which supports a care receiver, and is firmly fixed by the back part extended with the same raw material from the seat surface part, and a seat surface and a back part.

  The said structure is a structure common to the standing auxiliary seat surface of said 1st embodiment, The effect is the same as that of 1st embodiment.

  The standing auxiliary seating surface in the present embodiment is different in shape from the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the strong cloth band 6 serves as a part of the traction band 2 and the back part 3 and forms a ring that connects the inside or the bottom surface of the seat surface part 1, and is flexible while maintaining strength. Is expensive.

  Therefore, it can be easily guided to the sitting state on the standing auxiliary seating surface A while being inserted into a person being laid down on the bed in a flat shape and caused to be raised, and can be transferred to a wheelchair having various shapes. .

  In addition, since the wheel has a basic structure, the weight of the person being assisted is distributed throughout the wheel, and it is difficult for a load to be applied to a specific fixing point or seam.

  Since the belt 6 serves as a part of the traction band 2 and the back portion 3 and can be made of the same material as the seating surface, it can be manufactured by sewing with a reduced number of steps.

  The usage example in the standing auxiliary seat surface in this embodiment is the same as the usage example of the standing auxiliary seat surface in the first embodiment.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, it should be understood that modifications, changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
