Description

本発明は、卓上に置いて上肢の一部を載せて使用される操作補助具に関する。 The present invention relates to an operation aid that is used by placing a part of an upper limb on a table.

前記操作補助具に関しては、例えば後記特許文献１及び２に開示されているように、種々形態のものが提案されている。しかしながら、これら操作補助具は、上肢（手、手首、前腕、肘、上腕及び肩）の一部、具体的には手、手首又は前腕を載せて使用するものであるため、上肢の疲労軽減に効果はあるものの、首、背及び腰の疲労軽減にさほど効果は得難い。 With respect to the operation assisting tool, various forms have been proposed as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below. However, these operation aids are used by placing a part of the upper limb (hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm and shoulder), specifically the hand, wrist or forearm. Although effective, it is not very effective in reducing fatigue in the neck, back and hips.

首、背及び腰の疲労は、操作時における上体の姿勢に関係する。即ち、上体の姿勢が適正であるときに比べ、該姿勢が前のめりであるときに首、背及び腰にかかる負担は大きく、該負担によって首、背及び腰に疲労が生じ、該疲労の蓄積によって日常生活に支障をきたすような病状、例えば頸椎椎間板ヘルニアや腰椎椎間板ヘルニアに至る可能性もある。 Neck, back and waist fatigue is related to the posture of the upper body during operation. That is, compared to when the posture of the upper body is appropriate, the burden on the neck, back and hips is greater when the posture is forward leaning. There is also a possibility of causing a medical condition that hinders daily life, such as cervical disc herniation or lumbar disc herniation.

次に、図５を引用して、補助具本体１１と抱え込み物品１２との接続手順、並びに、接続解除手順について説明する。 Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a connection procedure between the auxiliary tool body 11 and the carried article 12 and a connection release procedure will be described.

補助具本体１１と抱え込み物品１２とを接続するときには、図５（Ａ）に示したように抱え込み物品１２の接続部材（環状ひも）１２ｃを広げ、これを補助具本体１１の接続部材（ボタン）１１ａに被せた後、図５（Ｂ）に示したように抱え込み物品１２の接続部材（環状ひも）１２ｃが補助具本体１１の接続部材（ボタン）１１ａにしっかりと係合するように接続補助部１２ｂを移動させる。また、接続部材１１ａ及び１２ｃとして前記以外の接続手段を用いた場合、例えばスナップボタンを用いた場合には凸部材と凹部材を相互に係合して接続を行えば良く、接続部材１１ａ及び１２ｃとして面ファスナーを用いた場合にはフック側部材とループ側部材を相互に係合して接続を行えば良い。 When connecting the auxiliary tool body 11 and the carried article 12, as shown in FIG. 5A, the connecting member (annular string) 12 c of the carried article 12 is expanded, and this is connected to the connecting member (button) of the auxiliary tool body 11. After covering the cover 11a, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the connection assisting portion (the annular string) 12c of the holding article 12 is firmly engaged with the connection member (button) 11a of the assisting device body 11. 12b is moved. Further, when connecting means other than those described above are used as the connecting members 11a and 12c, for example, when a snap button is used, the connecting members 11a and 12c may be connected by engaging the convex member and the concave member with each other. When a hook-and-loop fastener is used, the hook-side member and the loop-side member may be engaged with each other for connection.

先に述べたように、補助具本体１１には、背面側の長さ方向中央寄り位置に２個の接続部材１１ａが間隔をおいて設けられており（図３（Ｂ）〜図３（Ｄ）を参照）、抱え込み物品１２には、正面の高さ方向中央又はその付近に凹部１２ａが設けられ、該凹部１２ａの最深部又はその付近に変形可能な２個の接続補助部１２ｂが前記２個の接続部材１１ａと略向き合うように設けられ、各接続補助部１２ｂに接続部材１２ｃが設けられている（図４（Ａ）〜図４（Ｃ）を参照）。そのため、補助具本体１１の各接続部材１１ａと抱え込み物品１２の各接続部材１２ｃの接続は、該補助具本体１１の長さ方向中央寄り位置において為されることになる。 As described above, the auxiliary tool main body 11 is provided with the two connecting members 11a at a position closer to the center in the longitudinal direction on the back side with a gap therebetween (FIGS. 3B to 3D). )), The holding article 12 is provided with a concave portion 12a at or near the center in the height direction of the front surface, and the two connection auxiliary portions 12b that can be deformed at or near the deepest portion of the concave portion 12a. Each connection member 11a is provided so as to substantially face the connection member 11a, and each connection auxiliary portion 12b is provided with a connection member 12c (see FIGS. 4A to 4C). Therefore, the connection between each connection member 11 a of the auxiliary tool body 11 and each connection member 12 c of the holding article 12 is made at a position closer to the center in the length direction of the auxiliary tool body 11.

一方、補助具本体１１と抱え込み物品１２との接続を解除するときには、図５（Ｂ）において抱え込み物品１２の接続部材（環状ひも）１２ｃを広げ、これを補助具本体１１の接続部材（ボタン）１１ａから抜き出せば良い。また、接続部材１１ａ及び１２ｃとして前記以外の接続手段を用いた場合、例えばスナップボタンを用いた場合には凸部材と凹部材との係合を解いて接続解除を行えば良く、接続部材１１ａ及び１２ｃとして面ファスナーを用いた場合にはフック側部材とループ側部材との係合を解いて接続解除を行えば良い。接続手順及び接続解除手順が簡単な作業であるため、これらに時間を要することもないし、簡単な作業でありつつも補助具本体１１と抱え込み物品１２との接続を確実に行うことができる。 On the other hand, when the connection between the auxiliary tool body 11 and the carried article 12 is released, the connecting member (annular string) 12c of the carried article 12 is expanded in FIG. 5B, and this is connected to the connecting member (button) of the auxiliary tool body 11. What is necessary is just to extract from 11a. Further, when connection means other than those described above are used as the connection members 11a and 12c, for example, when a snap button is used, it is sufficient to release the connection by releasing the engagement between the convex member and the concave member. When a hook-and-loop fastener is used as 12c, the hook-side member and the loop-side member are disengaged to release the connection. Since the connection procedure and the connection release procedure are simple operations, they do not take time, and the auxiliary tool main body 11 and the carry-in article 12 can be reliably connected while being simple operations.

次に、図１及び図２を再度引用して、補助具本体１１と抱え込み物品１２とが接続された操作補助具１０を使用するときの好ましい方法例について説明する。 Next, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 again, a preferred method example when using the operation assisting tool 10 in which the assisting tool body 11 and the carrying article 12 are connected will be described.

操作者３０は、椅子に座った後に抱え込み物品１２を大腿３６の上に載せると共に、卓４０上のコンピュータ２０の手前に補助具本体１１を置き、椅子を前にずらして抱え込み物品１２を胸３４及び腹３５で前に押すようにしてコンピュータ２０との距離を調整する。抱え込み物品１２の各接続補助部１２ｂは変形が可能であり、ある程度の長さを有しているため、抱え込み物品１２の高さ位置が多少異なっても、卓４０上に置いた補助具本体１１に位置ズレを生じることはない。 The operator 30 places the carrying article 12 on the thigh 36 after sitting on the chair, places the assisting device main body 11 in front of the computer 20 on the table 40, shifts the chair forward, and places the carrying article 12 on the chest 34. And the distance from the computer 20 is adjusted by pushing forward with the stomach 35.
