Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diaper changing tool , and more particularly to a diaper changing tool that lifts both legs of a person being assisted and hooks them on legrests to change a diaper.

Bedridden people cannot go to the toilet by themselves, so they rely on the help of family members or caregivers to go to the toilet.
Adults and infants who cannot go to the toilet usually wear diapers, which require a great deal of strength and a great deal of labor because they have to lift their heavy buttocks and both legs.
In particular, adults are heavy, so it is a tough job for weak women and caregivers.

In addition, as people get older, they have to urinate frequently, so they have to change diapers frequently in the middle of the night, which is a heavy burden on their families.
In order to reduce the burden on his family, he considered putting him in a facility.
Although I think about using a day service, the burden on the family and the caregiver is equally heavy because the family has to take care of the patient at night, regardless of the daytime.

Moreover, although the use of disposable diapers reduces the burden on the family, it is the same that both legs and buttocks must be lifted to change diapers, and heavy labor is not eliminated.

In addition, excrement contains a large amount of water, and water droplets scatter, which is unsanitary. Therefore, there is a demand for a diaper changing tool that can be used cleanly.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and when changing a diaper , the back support body directly supports the buttocks and waist, which are the heaviest parts of the human body, to reduce labor, and a diaper that can be easily changed by one person. to provide a replacement.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-301150 JP 2014-204850 A Registered Utility Model No. 3115283 JP-A-2003-088441

The invention of Patent Document 1 is a "diaper changing care device", in which, as shown in the figure, a legrest frame (1) having a legrest (12) is rotatably attached to a base (2) on which a care-receiver is placed. It is a thing.
However, in this invention, since the base body 2 is composed of a flat plate, there is a problem that when the caregiver lifts the legs of the cared person and hooks them on the legrests, the heavy buttocks and waist must be lifted together. .
Therefore, in the past, multiple caregivers were required to change diapers.
This is because the buttocks and waist are very heavy.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention improves the shape of the back support surface so that the back support body directly receives the heaviest buttocks and hips of the human body, so that the buttocks and hips can be held in a floating state. It is a thing.
As a result, when the foot is hooked on the legrest, only a small amount of force is required to lift the foot, so that diaper changing work can be performed by one person.

The invention of Patent Document 2 is a "caregiver aid and caregiver aid set" composed of an air mattress, and its configuration is such that a space is formed between a trunk support portion and a thigh support portion.
Then, when changing the diaper, insert the hand into the space and push up the trunk and thighs from below.
The buttocks and trunk are the heaviest parts of the human body, and since the buttocks and trunk are positioned in the space, when changing diapers, the buttocks and trunk must be lifted together with the legs, which requires a great deal of force. and it becomes difficult for one person to change diapers.
On the other hand, according to the present invention, the rear part of the back receiving surface is formed higher than the front part, so that the high portion directly receives the heavy buttocks of the person being assisted, so that the person's legs can be lifted with a small force.

The idea of Patent Document 3 is a "rehabilitation support diaper changing aid", in which the leg holding part 8 is curved downward. is formed in the recess 1 of the
On the other hand, as described above, the back support surface of the back support body of the present invention is "formed higher than the front" so that "the heaviest buttocks and waist of the human body can be directly received by the high part of the back support surface." It is something that has been done.
As a result, the buttocks can be held in a floating state on the back receiving surface, and the legs can be lifted with a light force, which is different from the idea of Patent Document 3.

The invention of Patent Document 4 is a "legless chair" in which the attachment position of the knee pillow can be moved back and forth.
On the other hand, the main object of the present invention is to provide a diaper changing tool in which the buttocks, which are the heaviest in the human body, are directly supported by the back support body, and the person being assisted can be lifted with a small force.
That is, the present invention does not adjust the attachment position of the knee pillow back and forth as described in Patent Document 4, but as described above, the buttocks of the person being assisted are directly received by the back body, and the back is supported with a small force. To provide a diaper changing tool with which diaper changing work can be performed.

None of the inventions or ideas disclosed in the aforementioned patent documents disclose or suggest the invention of the present invention.
Focusing on the above, the object of the present invention is to solve the above problems. When changing diapers, the buttocks and waist, which are the heaviest in the human body, are directly supported by the back support body, thereby reducing labor and making it easy for one person to change diapers. To provide a diaper changing tool that enables diaper changing in

The object is to attach a legrest rotatably to a plastic-molded back support body that receives the back of the person being assisted, and to adjust the mounting position of the legrest forward and backward. This is achieved by curving to a higher angle in the rear and forming the curve higher than the front.

By implementing the present invention with the above configuration, when changing diapers, the buttocks and waist, which are the heaviest parts of the human body, can be directly received by the back support body in a raised state, and the buttocks and waist can be lifted with a small force. It is possible to provide a diaper changing tool that reduces labor and allows one person to easily change diapers.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the entirety of the diaper changing device of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a back support body that holds the back of the entire body and is made of plastic, urethane foam, or the like. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the back support body 1 is formed with a back support surface 2 that is curved so as to fit the back support body 1 to the body.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the back support surface 2 is also curved forward and backward so that the rear part is higher than the front part and the buttocks are raised.
At this time, the buttocks and waist, which are the heaviest part of the body, are directly received by the high curved portion at the back, so when lifting both legs, the weight of the buttocks and waist is not applied to the arms, so diaper changing can be done with little force. becomes possible.
The size of this curved portion may be adjusted to suit the body size of the person being assisted , for example, the size of an adult, a woman, a child, or an infant. Also, this size is arbitrary.

A leg rest 3 is rotatably attached to both side surfaces of the back support 1. - 特許庁The footrest 3 is made of a thick wire so as to have sufficient strength to support both legs when both legs are lifted. As shown in FIG. 3, the footrest 3 is formed with a foot receiving portion 4 that is curved in accordance with the shape of the foot.
5 is a pin rotatably attached to the side surface of the back support body 1 .

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, a tray 6 is prepared separately from the back support body 1 and receives excrement such as stool.
The tray 6 is made of resin or the like, and has raised portions 61 bent upward on its four sides.
When the tray 6 receives excrement, the raised portion 61 prevents the waste and water from leaking to the surroundings.

Sheets 7 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are placed on the tray 6 .
The sheet 7 is a laminated sheet in which a moisture permeable nonwoven fabric and a moisture impermeable nonwoven fabric are layered.
Moisture-permeable non-woven fabric absorbs moisture contained in waste and also absorbs moisture, so that it can be used cleanly and comfortably.
The moisture-impermeable nonwoven fabric reliably prevents moisture received by the permeable nonwoven fabric from leaking into clothes.
Incidentally, the nonwoven fabric may be a normal woven fabric, and any material can be used as long as it absorbs moisture such as gauze.

Also, the sheet 7 has a size larger than that of the tray 6, so that even if it bends downward when receiving the excretion part, the excrement and water will not leak out.
A string 8 is attached to one side of the sheet 7 and is used to roll up and bind the sheet 7 when the sheet 7 is discarded.

Next, an example of use of the diaper changing tool of the present invention constructed as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 6 , the caregiver lifts the leg and puts the back of the body on the back support body 1 .
Since the back support surface 2 of the back support main body 1 is formed higher toward the rear, the back and buttocks of the body are lifted as shown.
By hooking both feet on the footrest 3 in this state, the buttocks can be kept in a raised state.
Since the buttocks and waist are the heaviest parts of the human body, a large amount of force is required to lift them. When lifting the , only the light leg should be lifted.
Therefore, diaper changing work can be easily performed by one person.
Also, at this time, since there is a space behind the buttocks, the tray 6 can be placed in this space to prevent the scattering of dirt and cleanly dispose of the dirt.

12 to 16 show another embodiment in which the mounting position of the legrest 3 can be adjusted.
Note that the same reference numerals as those of the above-described embodiment in the figures are the same parts, and the description thereof is omitted.

In the figure, 10 is a torsion spring. Numeral 11 is a torsion spring pin, and this pin 11 is equipped with a spring (not shown) strong enough to support the body.
Also, the torsion spring 10 is configured to stop at an angle of about 20 degrees or slightly more and is designed to be strong enough to support the body for diaper changes.

A hinge 12 whose mounting position is adjusted forward and backward is mounted on a lower base 13 of the torsion spring 10 .
The hinge 12 is formed of a wire bent in a U-shape, and supports the rotating shaft 14 of the footrest 3 so as to be movable back and forth and rotatably.

Further, the rotating shaft 14 is inserted into the U-shaped space of the hinge 12 and supported so as to move back and forth.
Therefore, the rotating shaft 14 can be adjusted back and forth, thereby allowing the height of the footrest 3 to be adjusted according to the size of the body.

Also, on the upper surface of the upper base 15 of the torsion spring 10, as shown in FIGS.

Next, the state of use will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in the figure, the rotating shaft 14 of the footrest 3 is moved to the frontmost position of the hinge 12. In this case, the feet are in a high position, so that a large person can be easily accommodated.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, since the rotating shaft 14 is positioned at the rearmost part of the hinge 12, the footrest is at a low position, which is suitable for small people.
In this manner, the present invention can be applied to people of all sizes, and can quickly and easily change diapers.

As described above, in the present invention, the rear part of the back support body is formed higher than the front part, so that the buttocks and waist of the person being assisted can be held in a raised state when changing diapers.
Therefore, according to the present invention, when changing a diaper, the buttocks and waist, which are the heaviest parts of the human body, are directly held in a raised state by the backrest main body, thereby providing a diaper changing tool that allows a single caregiver to easily change diapers. I was able to do it.
