Description

  The present invention relates to a bathing device such as a stretcher provided with a placement portion on which a person being assisted is placed.

  Traditionally, a stretcher carrying a caregiver, such as a bedridden elderly person or a physically handicapped person, is transported on a stretcher, laid on the bathtub, and then moved to a position above the support in the bathtub. There is known a bathing apparatus for nursing care in which a person is lifted by an elevating mechanism, the person being assisted is immersed in hot water together with the stretcher, and the person being assisted is bathed (see Patent Document 1, for example).

  By the way, a bathing device such as a stretcher can get on and off the person being assisted by other care devices such as a wheelchair and a stretcher, and the bathing assistant can be moved by the person on the rest of the stretcher. In consideration of the fact that the washing operation is routine, it is desirable that the surface of the mounting portion be in a flat form.

  However, due to various causes, the spinal column, which should originally be convex toward the abdomen, is deformed rearwardly. In many cases, a person who is unable to take a supine posture facing the person is placed.

  Therefore, it is difficult to hold the body of the person being assisted sufficiently on the surface of the placement part in the flat state, and as a result of losing the balance of the body on the placement part, There is also a risk that the person may fall into the inside and get over the side guard when carrying the stretcher and the caregiver may fall from the placement section and be seriously injured, or in the worst case, death. However, conventional stretchers have had such safety problems.

  In order to solve this safety problem, a gel-like pad that is inserted between the body and the mounting surface of the stretcher and takes a posture in a supine position or a lateral position is used in the field of bathing assistance ( For example, refer nonpatent literature 1).

This is the part to be gripped when moving the stretcher.

  With reference to FIG. 2, the characteristic structure of the stretcher 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view in the direction of arrows AA in FIG. In the second sheet 2b, the outer side portion 2b2 is arranged in the longitudinal direction as a movable mechanism that can move the outer side portion 2b2 so that the outer side portion 2b2 is positioned above the inner side portion 2b1. When the extending shaft 10 and the outer portion 2b2 rotate in the direction of the arrow C1 with the shaft 10 as the rotation center, the link 11 as a position maintaining mechanism that maintains the outer portion 2b2 at the rotation position. And a link receiver 12 and a compression spring mechanism 13.

Shaft 10 has a through-hole of 16A receiving the shaft fixed to the portion 2b2 of the outer side is disposed in the gap 15 between the both ends and the site 2b2 and site of inner side 2b1 of the outer side (only one shown) The protruding end portion penetrates 16a and protrudes further outward, and the protruding end portion is fixedly supported by a shaft receiver 16B (only one shown) provided on the side surface of the inner portion 2b1.

  The link 11 has a through hole 11a into which the projecting pin 17 provided on the lower surface of the outer portion 2b2 is inserted at one end on the inner side, and the projecting pin 17 is inserted into the through hole 11a. The other end side on the outer side is rotatable around 17. The link 11 also has a protrusion (engagement pin) 11b formed on the other end on the outer side.

  The link receiver 12 is fixed horizontally in the width direction on the upper surface of a part 18 of the main body portion of the stretcher 1, and extends from the outer side to the inner side. The first link receiving surface 12a, the second link receiving surface 12b, and the third A link receiving surface 12c is provided. The second link receiving surface 12b is formed higher above the first and third link receiving surfaces 12a and 12c. The link receiver 12 also includes a protrusion 12d that protrudes above the second link receiving surface 12b between the first link receiving surface 12a and the second link receiving surface 12b.

  The protruding portion 12d of the link receiver 12 has an outer protruding surface 12d1 that is a slope with an upward gradient toward the inner side, and an inner protruding surface 12d2 that is a vertical surface. The inward projecting surface 12d2 serves as a first engaging surface with which the protruding portion (engaging pin) 11b of the link 11 is engaged.

  The inner end of the second link receiving surface 12b of the link receiver 12 is a step surface 12e perpendicular to the third link receiving surface 12c. This level | step difference surface 12e becomes a 2nd engagement surface with which the protrusion part (engagement pin) 11b of the link 11 engages.

  The compression spring mechanism 13 constantly urges the outer portion 2b2 in the rotation direction indicated by the arrow C2. The stopper 14 is a stopper for supporting the outer portion 2b2 in a horizontal position.

  In the above configuration, the operation of the movable mechanism and the position maintaining mechanism will be described. The outer side portion 2b2 is lifted from the position (first position) in FIG. 2 against the compression spring mechanism 13 and the outer side portion 2b2 is lifted by using a gripping portion to be described later, and the shaft 10 is centered. When the link 11 is rotated in the direction of the arrow C1, the other end side on the outer side rotates around the protruding pin 17 in the direction of the arrow D due to its own weight.
