  The front movable frame portion 22 of the front movable handrail frame 20a has a substantially rectangular tube-shaped horizontal portion 220 that extends in a straight line in the horizontal direction (X-axis and Y-axis plane of the fixed frame 2), and one end thereof is illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) and FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), they are connected so as to be perpendicular to the side surface of the substantially prismatic rotating shaft portion 221. That is, a state where an axis (center line) extending in the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the rotating shaft portion 221 and an axis extending in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of the horizontal portion 220 intersect (the axis line of the rotating shaft portion 221 and the horizontal portion 220). Are connected in a state in which the distance of the axis line is 0).

  On the other hand, the rear movable frame portion 23 of the rear movable handrail frame 20b has a substantially rectangular tube-shaped horizontal portion 230 extending in a straight line in the horizontal direction (X-axis Y-axis plane of the fixed frame 2), and one end portion thereof is 7 (a) (b) and 8 (a) (b), FIG. 7 (a) and FIG. It connects so that it may become perpendicular | vertical with respect to the substantially rectangular plate-shaped connection surface 231a. That is, the axis G (center line G) extending in the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the rotating shaft portion 231 and the axis H extending in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of the horizontal portion 230 do not intersect, but the axis G of the rotating shaft portion 231 The rotating shaft portion 231 and the horizontal portion 230 are connected in a state where the axis H of the horizontal portion 230 is separated by a distance I.

  The connecting structure between the horizontal portion 230 of the rear movable frame portion 23 and the rotating shaft portion 231 can be the same as the connecting structure of the horizontal portion 220 and the rotating shaft portion 221 of the front movable frame portion 22. In this case, when storing the rear movable handrail frame 20b, it is necessary to move and store the rear movable handrail frame 20a on the side opposite to the side where the front movable handrail frame 20a is stored. Further, since it is necessary to prevent the movable handrail frame 20b and the bed 101 from coming into contact with each other, it is necessary to increase the length of the fixed frame 2 in the X-axis direction, which inevitably increases the size of the fixed frame 2. End up. Therefore, it is desirable to have a connection structure in which the axis G of the rotary shaft portion 231 and the axis H of the horizontal portion 230 are separated by a distance I that can reduce the size of the fixed frame 2.

  Further, the upper end and the lower end of the connecting surface 231a are fixed to the substantially rectangular plate-like flange portions 231b and 231b extending in the horizontal direction from the vicinity of the upper end and the lower end of the rotating shaft 231 and extending toward the connecting surface 231a. In addition, the connecting surface 231a is reinforced so as not to be deformed or separated from the rotating shaft portion 231 by applying an external force.

  By the way, in this embodiment, the bed 101 used by the care recipient 100 is arranged on the back side of the fixed frame 2 in the X-axis direction, but when the bed 101 is arranged on the near side, the front movable frame The connecting structure of the horizontal part 220 and the rotating shaft part 221 of the part 22 and the connecting structure of the horizontal part 230 and the rotating shaft part 231 of the rear movable frame part 23 are opposite to each other.

  In addition, since the load can be supported by the legs 25 and the wheels 26 by the dead weight and the external force of the front movable handrail frame 20a and the rear movable handrail frame 20b, the front movable handrail frame 20a and the rear movable handrail frame. It is possible to reduce the load on the rotating shaft portions 221 and 231 that are structurally inferior during storage and use of the 20b, and to prevent deformation and destruction. In addition, since the vibration and deformation of the front movable handrail frame 20a, the rear movable handrail frame 20b, and the fixed frame 2 can be reduced during the walking rehabilitation training of the care recipient 100, the safety of the care recipient 100 is ensured. However, rehabilitation training can be performed. Moreover, since a vibration can be further reduced by locking a wheel with the stopper of the wheel part 26, the care recipient 100 can maintain the stable state.

  When the front movable handrail frame 20 a is stored, the wheel portion 26 is moved into the opening portion 11 a of the wheel housing portion 11 provided in the floor frame portion 2 c on the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2. By doing so, the front movable handrail frame 20a is substantially parallel to the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2 and is located in the right side surface portion (see FIGS. 2 and 6B).

  On the other hand, when the rear movable handrail frame 20b is housed, the wheel portion 26 is moved until it contacts the floor frame portion 2c on the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2. At that time, since the axis G (center line G) of the rotary shaft portion 231 and the axis H of the horizontal portion 230 in the rear movable frame portion 23 are connected by a distance I, the rear movable handrail frame 20b is fixed. The right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2 is substantially parallel to the right side surface portion of the frame 2 but is not in the right side surface portion, but the distance I between the axis G (center line G) of the rotating shaft portion 231 and the axis H of the horizontal portion 230. The rear movable handrail frame 20b is located inside the fixed frame 2 from the axis H of the rotation shaft portion 231 provided therein, and is in a state of being adjacent to the front movable handrail frame 20a (see FIG. 8B).

Since the rotation in the horizontal direction (around the Z axis) can be restricted and the movable handrail frame 60 can be fixed, the care recipient 100 holds the weight by holding the grip portion 66a of the handrail portion 66 described later of the movable handrail frame 60. Even if it is applied, it is possible to maintain a stable state without wobbling.

  When the movable handrail frame 60 is housed, as shown in FIG. 11, the wheel portion 64 is moved until it contacts the floor frame portion 2c on the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2A. At that time, the movable handrail frame 60 is folded, and the axis J (center line J) of the rotating shaft portion 611 and the axis K of the horizontal portion 610 in the movable frame portion 61 are connected with a distance L apart. The handrail frame 60 is substantially parallel to the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2A, but is not in the right side surface portion, and is equal to the distance L between the axis line J (center line J) of the rotation shaft portion 611 and the axis line K of the horizontal portion 610, The movable handrail frame 60 is located in the fixed frame 2A from the axis J of the rotation shaft portion 611 provided in the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2A, and is close to the right side surface portion (see FIG. 14B).

  Therefore, when the movable handrail frame 60 is folded and stored as described above, the movable handrail frame 60 can be stored without taking up any space just by protruding from the right side surface portion of the fixed frame 2A to the inside. When the movable handrail frame portion 60 is not used, the movable handrail frame portion 60 can be stored in an unobstructed state in the living space of the care recipient 100. Further, as in the structure described above, the length of the fixed frame 2A in the X-axis direction is made longer than the length of the fixed frame 2 in the X-axis direction of the embodiment, thereby increasing the number of installation of the movable frame portions 61 and connecting them. Since the frame portion 65 can be lengthened and the total length of the handrail portion 66 can be increased accordingly, the distance at which rehabilitation training can be performed can be increased.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the connection frame portion 65 has a plurality of insertion holes 65a (four in the present embodiment) penetrating from the upper side to the lower side at equal intervals, and each insertion hole 65a. A substantially cylindrical insertion portion 65b extending downward from the lower end of the tube is provided. A fixing hole 65c for fixing a handrail portion 66, which will be described later, is formed in the vicinity of the lower end portion of the insertion portion 65b so as to penetrate the side surface of the insertion portion 65b.

  When the movable handrail frame 60 is stored, the position of the insertion portion 65b in the connecting frame portion 65 is set so as not to interfere with the movable frame portion 61 when the movable handrail frame 60 is folded as described above.
