Description

Using a general cloth such as cotton or synthetic fiber, which is also used as a material for trousers, a horizontal band with a width of about 12 cm and a horizontal band at its center position in the vertical direction. A T-shaped vertical band that can be sewn and formed to be used as a caregiving device for elderly care and rehabilitation sites.

As a caregiving device used for elderly care and rehabilitation, a belt-type care belt that is used by wrapping it around the abdomen or waist has been devised, but most of them are made of resin that is easy to put on and take off. It is effective for nursing care and rehabilitation because it has a function to distribute the weight through a belt on the waist and both limbs, such as being equipped with a buckle made of wood and having a handle at an appropriate position on the side or back. On the other hand, supporters are also required to take precautions when using the belt, such as adjusting the length of the belt and removing the buckle.

In addition, in daily life, for example, when transferring with these devices attached when using a wheelchair, there may be a sense of discomfort due to the material of the belt part or the width of the belt, or the width of the caregiving device itself may be too wide. Since it is large and may need to be removed, the basic goal is to make it easy to put on and take off. It is functional and convenient because it can be used continuously even when it is transferred to a seat or a wheelchair, and it does not require a lot of storage space even if it is removed or when carrying a caregiving device when going out. There is a demand for a simple product with the above.

With the progress of medical technology in recent years, there have been many cases of femoral fractures due to accidents such as falls due to weakening of muscle strength in the elderly, and early surgery and postoperative functional recovery training at that time have occurred. However, it has important significance for independence, and especially in the case of elderly people, in addition to assistance to support necessary actions and movements in daily life, aspects of care such as dementia are added. Therefore, I realized that the simple and clear T-shaped band, which was devised and implemented based on the experience of dealing with those sites, is also effective as a tool to create mutual trust and a sense of security, and also a femoral fracture. It can be used as a caregiving device that can be easily adapted to general walking training sites such as rehabilitation, not limited to postoperative and elderly people.

Commercially available belt-type caregiving equipment can be used for elderly care, single caregiving work at the site of rehabilitation, for example, when transferring to a wheelchair via a stepped entrance or stairs, or from a wheelchair. Although it is effective in transferring to the shuttle car seat of the long-term care center, the feeling of wearing the caregiving person does not seem to be preferable from the material and structure of the equipment, and it is as it is for the next process. There seems to be a problem with continuous use.

At nursing care sites, there is a tendency to avoid expressions such as tying and tightening, and one-touch fasteners that use buckles made of tree species that are easy to put on and take off, and equipment with handles at appropriate positions in advance are prepared. However, considering that a separate storage space is required when going out, many of these appliances are interpreted as connecting the hearts of each other by replacing the expressions of tying and tightening with tying. There is a need to go out with peace of mind and keep it close at hand.

As the cloth material in the present invention, white sarashi made of cotton is used, and two pieces of cloth having a width of about 12 cm are prepared by overlapping and folding, and one side is on one side (hereinafter, abbreviated as horizontal band) in the horizontal direction. , The other is sewn and joined in the direction perpendicular to the center position of the horizontal band to form one side in the vertical direction (hereinafter abbreviated as vertical band), which is a T-shaped band formed entirely by sewing cloth. To form.

With the vertical band facing downward, wrap the horizontal band around the abdomen of the person requiring care, pass the end of the vertical band through the crotch, and raise it upward to the waist on the back, and then raise the vertical band upward. While arranging it inward with the shape of pressing against the back, it guides the left end and the right end, and creates and forms a knot that becomes the main knot.
Next, the end of the vertical band is bent downward so as to wrap outward while surrounding the knot on the inner surface, and together with the two left and right ends of the horizontal band that have already formed the main knot. After aligning in the downward direction, in the process of surrounding and covering the knot and bending it in the above-mentioned previous step, the form of converging the four sides including one side of the vertical band that is pressed against the back waist and touches is maintained. , The supporter grasps the four sides at once at the position near the lumbar sacral bone with one hand, creating a caregiving effect that supports the lower back, which is also the center of the caregiving's trunk, and both the supporter and the caregiving need peace of mind. You can share the feeling.

Since the entire T-shaped band in the present invention is sewn and formed based on the cloth material, the position of folding and folding in storage can be freely selected, so that the storage space can be easily selected, and the pocket of a wheelchair or the like. It is possible to bring it to the bag of the accompanying person, and since there are no protrusions, it can be used as a device that does not feel uncomfortable even if the person requiring care continues to use it.

In the T-shaped band of the present invention, the supporter holds the four sides of the horizontal band and the vertical band aligned at once by adding one side of the vertical band in contact with the crotch to the back and grasping the four sides at once. It can be effective as a tool that creates a sense of mutual peace of mind because it stands on the side close to the person requiring care and assists by being close to each other with the hand of the dominant arm.

The background of the present invention is that an elderly family living in a second-floor residence without an elevator is hospitalized and operated on for a femoral fracture, and ascends and descends stairs in connection with the rehabilitation and daily activities. It is a device for caregiving while experiencing going out including transfer between a shuttle car and a wheelchair. As shown in Fig. 1, the horizontal band (1) on one side of the T-shaped band and its side. A T-shaped band is formed by sewing a vertical band (2) on one side in the vertical direction at the center position, and assistance is provided.

The situation in which the subject of the present invention is targeted at a woman having a height of 148 cm, a body weight of 50 kg, and a waist of 73 cm will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In addition, the cloth used in the present invention uses a white sarashi that is easily available, and the folds are folded in a width of about 12 cm, and the target length is set to the horizontal band (1) of the T-shaped band. The dimension is W = 160 cm, and the dimension of the vertical band (2) that is joined at the center position to form a T-shape is L = 150 cm. First, the outer peripheral portion is provided with seams (6 and 7) so as to show a part as the details of the A portion in FIG. 2 except for the joint portion of each of the two at the above-mentioned central position to prevent fraying. , Prepare in advance.

Next, in order to form a T-shaped band, at the center position of the horizontal band (1), one side opposite to the end portion (5) of the vertical band is inserted and joined, and the details of part A in FIG. 2 are shown. As shown above, □ (8) and X (9) are sewn together as reinforcement with additional seams.

With the vertical band (2) facing downward, the horizontal band (1) is wrapped around the abdomen of the person requiring assistance, and the end (5) of the vertical band is passed through the crotch to the upper back to the waist. While maintaining the shape of pressing the vertical band (2) along the back surface as it is, guide the left end (3) and the right end (4), and as shown in FIG. Create and form a knot that will be a knot.

Next, at the end (5) of the vertical band, the knot is surrounded by the inner surface and bent downward so as to be wound outward, and the two types of horizontal band on the left and right that have already formed the main knot. A vertical band (2) that is pressed against the back waist in the step before bending by surrounding the knot at the end (5) after aligning it downward with the ends (3 and 4). ), The supporter holds the four sides together with one hand at a position near the lumbar sacral bone, and holds the waist, which is also the center of the trunk of the person requiring care. It is possible to provide a T-shaped band that produces a supportive assistance effect and allows both the supporter and the person requiring assistance to share a sense of security.

Here, in the case of a supporter with weak grip strength, when grasping the four sides to be focused, the end (5) of the vertical band bent downward so as to cover the knot is rotated once to the horizontal band (1). It is also recommended that the vertical band (2) can be prevented from loosening by adding entanglement guidance.

Further, as an embodiment of the present invention, the reason why the band width is selected to be around 12 cm is that in the step of grasping the four sides at once, first, the left and right ends (3 and 4) of the horizontal band are downward. When lining up, adding one side of the vertical band (2) that was raised to the back through the crotch and pressed against it, and pressing the fingertips while grasping, at least the left and right ends (3 and 4) should be pressed. It is the result of judging that 12 cm is an appropriate dimension because it is effective to grasp while covering with the end (5) of the vertical band described above, but this width is not limited. It is also added that the decision should be made in consideration of the thickness of the material to be introduced.

In the use of the choji-obi according to the present invention, the expression of binding associated with abuse is prohibited in the elderly care society. This knot is created and formed, and together with the two types of ends, the end of the vertical band that is bent downward so as to surround and cover the knot, and the assumption that it is raised and bent through the crotch. Since the four sides including one side of the vertical band that is pressed against the back and touches are grasped collectively with one hand, it is a functional caregiving that can easily and surely detect looseness of the knot and the comprehensive band. Can be provided as an instrument.

Regarding the above use, it is important for the supporter to hold one hand and the other hand to be free when assisting, and if it is used for climbing stairs, use a handrail to maintain balance. It is also possible to support the caregiver's arms and shoulders when transferring seats or wheelchairs.

Since the T-shaped band of the present invention is sewn only from the cloth, the care-requiring person feels soft when wearing it, and since it can be folded at any position, it can be folded at any position when going out. However, the storage method is compatible only in a small space, and you can get a good impression.

In addition, the width of the T-shaped band and the dimensions of the horizontal band and the vertical band shown in the embodiment of the present invention are prepared by creating a list according to the body shape of the person requiring care to be used, and the actual product is included. , Consider separate labeling such as the sticker frame for entering the name to distinguish the owner in nursing care facilities, the material display of the material, and the washing method.

Similarly, in the embodiment of the present invention, a white cloth is used, but it is against the intention of the person requiring care to easily infer and judge the use as a caregiving device from the appearance. Therefore, by selecting a fabric of the same color as the trousers to be worn and by adopting a printed fabric for the horizontal band part, a pseudo effect as an appearance can be obtained, especially wearing a top with a long length up to the waist. If it is possible to cover the caregiving equipment by wearing it, there are expectations for fashionability that the use itself cannot be understood from the appearance.

In recent years, many sales have been carried out with related products attached as appendices such as monthly newspapers, so we will select magazines related to long-term care and rehabilitation and plan to enter the market by selling them as appendices.
