Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a restraining glove, and is particularly suitable for use as a glove for restraining the movement of a patient's hand so that the patient cannot freely grasp an object.

Conventionally, in medical and welfare settings such as hospitals and nursing homes, patients or care recipients (hereinafter simply referred to as "patients") are connected to their bodies during intravenous drip, dialysis, nutritional supplementation, excretion, etc. There are problems such as trying to remove a tube or catheter without permission, and scratching the itchy part of the skin. In order to prevent the patient from unnecessarily removing the tube or scratching the patient's body, restraining gloves are sometimes used.

These restraint gloves place the patient's hands in the interior space of a relatively large glove, physically preventing the patient from freely grasping or touching objects outside the glove. . Conventionally, various types of restraint gloves of this type have been developed, and various forms are known (see Patent Documents 1 to 3, for example).

The restraint glove described in Patent Document 1 uses a highly breathable net fabric and is sewn in two forks so that the thumb and the remaining four fingers are separated, and on the back side of the four fingers A grip bar is installed in the abutting position, and both ends of the grip bar are fixed to the glove. As a result, even if the patient tries to grasp something, the grip bar becomes a hindrance, making it almost impossible. be done.

The restraint glove described in Patent Document 2 is made by suturing and fixing a soft material such as terry cloth to the entire palm side of the glove into which the five fingers are individually inserted, so that the patient can wear the glove. It is configured to let you grasp something as if you are already grasping something with your palm when you wear it. This prevents the gloved patient from grabbing things with their hands or catching things with their folded hands.

The restraining glove described in Patent Document 3 has a substantially palm-like shape, and has a mitten cover portion that protects the patient's hand, and a mitten cover portion that is disposed in the mitten cover portion in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the patient's hand is inserted. and a tape portion formed continuously and integrally on the wrist side of the mitten cover portion for fixing the glove to the patient's wrist. This arrangement prevents the patient from grasping an object such as an IV tube when the gloves are on.

JP-A-2001-73209 JP 2007-119985 A Japanese Patent No. 6366868

However, since the restraint glove described in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the grip bar is fixed inside the glove, there is a problem that the structure is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high. In addition, the restraint glove described in Patent Document 2 has a structure in which an object such as a towel cloth is fixed to the palm side of the glove, so there is also the problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

On the other hand, in the case of the restraint glove described in Patent Document 3, the gripping portion having a substantially elliptical cylinder shape to be inserted into the mitten cover portion is a separate body that is not fixed to the mitten cover portion. The configuration itself is not complicated. However, in order to restrict the movement of the hand placed in the mitten cover, the grip must be somewhat large. In order to insert the enlarged grip part into the mitten cover part, the mitten cover part has a structure that is folded in two, and the fastener part is moved during use so that the upper cover and the lower cover are sewn together. I have to. Since such a fastener portion is required, the restraint glove described in Patent Document 3 also has a problem of high manufacturing cost.

In addition, the restraint glove described in Patent Document 3 has a problem that the procedures for fitting the glove to the patient's hand are many and complicated, requiring a lot of time and effort for nurses. That is, in the restraining glove described in Patent Document 3, the mitten cover portion is first filled with air from the air plug, then the patient's palm side is placed on the lower cover and the patient grasps the grip portion, and further, Place the upper cover over the back of the patient's hand and fold the glove in half. Thereafter, the fastener portion is moved to suture the upper and lower covers, and finally, the tape portion is engaged so that the fastener of the fastener portion is housed inside the band of the tape portion, and the glove is attached to the patient. hand. The restraining glove of Patent Document 3 needs to be put on the patient's hand through such a complicated procedure, which is a factor in lowering the work efficiency of nurses.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a restraining glove that can be manufactured at a reduced cost and that can be easily worn on a patient's hand. and

In order to solve the above-described problems, the restraint glove of the present invention has a bag-like shape with one end open and the other end closed, and has a first opening for accommodating from the patient's fingertips to at least the wrist. An accommodating part, a cylindrical object to be held by the hand of the patient accommodated in the first accommodating part, and an outer side of the first accommodating part and from the other end to the one end of the first accommodating part a second storage part formed at a position corresponding to the partial area halfway and for storing the gripped object, from the other end of the first storage part to the middle of the partial area toward the end of the partial area; The outer edge of the other end side region is formed in an arc shape, and the outer edge of the second accommodating portion is configured to face the outer edge of the partial region of the first accommodating portion, and a part of the first accommodating portion The outer surface of the region is configured to be the inner surface of the second accommodating portion. In addition, the gripped object stored in the second storage portion in such a posture that the height direction of the cylindrical body faces the width direction of the second storage portion is arranged so that the outer edge of the second storage portion is arcuate. It is configured in a size that does not fit in the area.

The restraint glove of the present invention constructed as described above is only provided with a second housing portion for housing a grasped object outside the first housing portion for housing a patient's hand. Therefore, the configuration is simple, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, when using the restraining glove of the present invention, it is only necessary to store the patient's hand in the first storage portion and the grasped object in the second storage portion, so that it is easy to put on the patient's hand. You can also go to

It is a figure which shows the structural example of the glove for restraint by this embodiment. It is a figure which shows the state which accommodated the grasped object in the 2nd accommodating part. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which an object to be grasped is accommodated in the second accommodation portion and the patient's hand is accommodated in the first accommodation portion;

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a restraining glove 1 according to this embodiment, (a) is a front view, (b) is a rear view, (c) is a side view, and (d) is a bottom view. ing. FIG. 1(e) shows a configuration example of a grasped object 2 to be grasped by the hand of a patient who wears the restrictive glove 1 of this embodiment. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the direction in which the patient's hand is inserted (the length direction of the restraining glove 1) is defined as the X-axis direction, the width direction of the restraining glove 1 perpendicular thereto is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the thickness direction of the restraining glove 1 is defined as the Y-axis direction. is the Z-axis direction.

The restraining glove 1 of this embodiment is a glove that is worn on a patient's hand to restrain the movement of the patient's hand. Constraining the patient's hand movement means covering and fixing the patient's hand with gloves so that the patient cannot freely grasp objects or scratch the itchy skin with the fingertips. By doing so, it means that the part beyond the wrist cannot be moved freely.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the restraining glove 1 of this embodiment includes a first housing portion 10 for housing the patient's fingertips to at least the wrist, and a patient's hand housed in the first housing portion 10 . The second storage part 20 for storing the gripped object 2 to be gripped by the patient, and the fixing band 30 for fixing the first storage part 10 to the patient's hand.

The first housing portion 10 has a bag shape with one end 11 open in the length direction (X-axis direction) and the other end 12 closed. As shown in FIG. 1(d), an opening 11a is formed at one end 11 of the first container 10, and the patient's hand is inserted into the first container 10 through the opening 11a. is now possible.

The first housing portion 10 has a symmetrical shape in the width direction (Y-axis direction). In addition, the other end 12 of the first accommodating portion 10 is formed in an arc shape when viewed from the front side and the back side, and both side portions connecting both ends of the arc and the one end 11 are substantially linear or gentle. It is curved. In the present embodiment, the side portion is formed in a gentle curve shape, and the portion near the one end 11 has a shape that widens toward the end. As a result, of the internal space of the first housing portion 10, the internal space for accommodating the portion beyond the wrist is relatively narrow, and the internal space on the side closer to the opening 11a is relatively wide, so that the hand can be held from the opening 11a. While making it easy to insert, it has a structure that makes it easy to restrict the movement of the part beyond the wrist.

Restraint gloves 1 are prepared in different sizes for each type of patient, for example, adult male, adult female, and child. The size of the first storage part 10 in each type of restraint glove 1 is assumed to be a standard hand size for each type, and can accommodate the assumed standard size hand, In addition, the portion near the other end 12 (the vicinity of a partial area 13 described later) in particular is configured to have a size such that the portion ahead of the wrist can be accommodated relatively without a gap.

The first housing part 10 is made of a material with good breathability or quick-drying properties so that even if the patient's hand is kept in it for a long time, it will not get stuffy due to perspiration or the like. ing. The first housing portion 10 is also flexible and flexible in order to avoid painful contact with the patient's hand and to accommodate a hand larger than the standard size envisioned. Constructed from elastic material. For example, a mesh fabric can be used as a material that has good air permeability or quick drying properties and is flexible and stretchable.

The second housing portion 20 is located outside the first housing portion 10 (the front side in the Z-axis direction) and in a partial region 13 from the other end 12 to the one end 11 of the first housing portion 10. formed at corresponding positions. The partial area 13 of the first accommodating portion 10 is the entire area on the other end 12 side of the linear boundary line in the Y-axis direction temporarily set at a position of a predetermined length from the other end 12 toward the one end 11. is.

The second housing portion 20 also has a bag shape with one end 21 open in the length direction (X-axis direction) and the other end 22 closed. As shown in FIG. 1(d), an opening 21a is formed at one end 21 of the second container 20, and the object 2 can be put into the second container 20 through the opening 21a. is now possible. The position of the one end 21 of the second accommodation portion 20 where the opening 21 a is formed coincides with the position of the boundary line of the partial region 13 of the first accommodation portion 10 .

The position of the boundary line of the partial area 13 of the first storage portion 10, that is, the position of the opening 21a of the second storage portion 20, depends on the size of the grasped object 2 stored in the second storage portion 20. is set. That is, the position of the boundary line is set so that the whole object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodation portion 20 . This means that the second accommodation portion 20 is formed to have a size that can accommodate the entire gripped object 2 .

The fact that the second housing portion 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the partial region 13 of the first housing portion 10 means that, as shown in FIG. 13 and the outer edge of the second accommodating portion 20 are configured to face each other. Specifically, the second housing portion 20 has an outer edge (the opening 21a is provided) formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 on the outside (front side) of the first housing portion 10. (Parts other than the place) are sewn along. A dotted line 23 shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) indicates a sewn portion sewn with a thread.

The fact that the cloth of the second housing portion 20 is formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 is not limited to the case where the shape of the partial region 13 completely matches the shape of the cloth, and the shape of the cloth. is similar to the shape of the partial region 13. For example, if the fabric of the second storage part 20 is configured to be slightly larger than the partial area 13, and the outer edge of the fabric (excluding the opening 21a) is sewn to the outer edge of the partial area 13, It also includes the case where the fabric becomes slack.

As described above, the second housing portion 20 is formed by sewing the fabric formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 on the outside (front side) of the first housing portion 10 . As a result, as shown in FIG. 1D , the front-side outer surface 14 of the partial region 13 of the first accommodation portion 10 becomes the rear-side inner surface 24 of the second accommodation portion 20 . That is, the outer surface 14 of the partial region 13 of the first housing portion 10 and the inner surface 24 of the second housing portion 20 are the same surface, and the partial region 13 of the first housing portion 10 is formed on the same surface. It forms the outer surface 14 and the inner surface 24 of the second housing 20 . Hereinafter, these are referred to as shared surfaces 14 and 24 .

The fabric of the second accommodation portion 20 formed so as to correspond to the shape of the partial region 13 is made of the same mesh fabric as the first accommodation portion 10 . Since the gripped object 2 is stored in the second storage part 20 and the patient's hand is not stored in the second storage part 20, it is not necessarily made of a material with good air permeability or quick drying properties. However, in order to widen the internal space of the second storage part 20 so that the gripped object 2 can be stored therein, the material of the second storage part 20 must be flexible and stretchable. As the material of the second housing portion 20, a material having higher flexibility and stretchability than those of the first housing portion 10 may be used.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), the first storage section 10 includes a plurality of divided storage sections 15 and 16 that accommodate the patient's five fingers separately. By providing the plurality of divided housing portions 15 and 16, the sizes of the divided housing portions 15 and 16 are narrower than when the first housing portion 10 is not divided into a plurality of regions. As a result, the patient's fingers are accommodated in a smaller area, so that the degree of freedom with which the fingers can be moved can be reduced, and the movement of the patient's hand can be more effectively restrained.

In the present embodiment, in the first accommodation portion 10 , one straight line parallel to the X-axis direction is drawn from a substantially central position in the width direction of the other end 12 of the first accommodation portion 10 toward the one end 11 side. The front side surface and the back side surface are sewn together with a thread. As a result, a predetermined area from the other end 12 toward the one end 11 of the first accommodation portion 10 is divided into two left and right split accommodation portions 15 and 16 . A dotted line 17 indicates a sewing site sewn with a thread.

The regions in which the divided storage portions 15 and 16 are formed in the first storage portion 10 are standard finger grips according to the patient type for each restraining glove 1 formed in a size suitable for each type of patient. The length is assumed, and the size is configured so that the entire finger of the assumed standard length can be roughly accommodated. Therefore, the regions where the divided housing portions 15 and 16 are formed are narrower than the partial region 13 corresponding to the second housing portion 20 .

The first housing portion 10 has a shape that is symmetrical with respect to the substantially central position in the width direction as a boundary. Parts 15 and 16 are of the same size. Here, the thumb and forefinger are housed in one of the divided housing portions 25, and the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are housed in the other divided housing portion 26.例文帳に追加Since the two compartments 15, 16 are of the same size, the restraint glove 1 can be used on either the patient's right or left hand. Therefore, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to configure the right-handed restraint glove 1 and the left-handed restraint glove 1 separately.

In addition, although the configuration in which the two divided storage portions 15 and 16 are provided is shown here, the configuration in which the three divided storage portions are provided may be employed. In this case, for example, the thumb and forefinger are accommodated in the first split accommodating portion on one end side in the width direction, the ring finger and little finger are accommodated in the second split accommodating portion on the other end side, and the third split accommodating portion in the middle is accommodated. The middle finger is accommodated in the split accommodation part of the. The thumb is housed in the first divided housing section on one end side, the little finger is housed in the second divided housing section on the other end side, and the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are housed in the third divided housing section in the middle. It is good also as a structure which carries out.

The fixing band 30 is attached to the outside (front side) of the first accommodating portion 10 and at a position closer to the one end 11 than the second accommodating portion 20 is. For example, the fixing band 30 is sewn to the first housing portion 10 . A dotted line 33 indicates a sewn site sewn with a thread. Note that the method of attaching the fixing band 30 is not limited to sewing. For example, the fixing band 30 may be adhered to the first housing portion 10 with an adhesive, or may be adhered with a hook-and-loop fastener.

The fixing band 30 holds the patient's hand in the first storage section 10 so that the patient's hand does not slip out of the first storage section 10 . It is used for fixing to The fixing band 30 is of strip-like construction and is used to tie the first receptacle 10 to the patient's hand. For this reason, the fixing band 30 does not have to be made of a material with good air permeability or a quick-drying property, and may be made of at least a flexible material.

Although the fixing band 30 is attached to the front side of the first housing portion 10 in this embodiment, it may be attached to the back side. Further, the fixing band 30 may not be attached to the first housing portion 10, and the restraint glove 1 and the fixing band 30 may be configured separately. However, if it is configured as a separate body, the fixing band 30 may be displaced while the patient is using the restraining glove 1 and the fixing band 30 may come off from the restraining glove 1 . In order to prevent this, it is necessary to tie the fixing band 30 tightly, which may cause discomfort and pain to the patient. Therefore, it is preferable to configure the fixing band 30 to be attached to the restraining glove 1 .

As shown in FIG. 1(e), the gripped object 2 is composed of a cylindrical body. The grasped object 2 is configured to have a radius R such that a part (about half) of the side surface can be covered with substantially the entire palm and fingers of the patient. In addition, the height H of the cylindrical body (the length in the Y-axis direction when the gripped object 2 is laid horizontally as shown in FIG. 1(e)) is such that all five fingers of a standard hand size can be placed on it. It is sized like. The height H of this columnar body is slightly shorter than the width of the opening 21a of the second accommodating portion 20. As shown in FIG.

The shape of the grasped object 2 may be a prismatic body, but by forming it into a cylindrical shape, it becomes a shape similar to the shape of the hand that the patient naturally makes when the hand is relaxed, and the patient can use the grasped object 2 for a long time while holding it. It can make the patient less tired. The grasped object 2 may be a sphere, but when the hand is placed on the grasped object 2, the room for moving the thumb and little finger at both ends is larger than that of a cylindrical body, so the movement of the patient's hand is suppressed. A cylindrical body is preferable from the viewpoint of more effective restraint. Although the material of the gripped object 2 is not particularly limited, it is possible to use, for example, a cushioning sponge.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which the gripped object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodation portion 20. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2 , the object 2 is stored in the second storage portion 20 in such a posture that the height direction of the object 2 faces the width direction of the second storage portion 20 . When the gripped object 2 is put into the second container 20, the opening 21a is widened in the Z-axis direction and inserted. When the gripped object 2 is completely inserted, the gripped object 2 receives the restoring force that causes the stretched cloth of the second housing portion 20 to shrink back to its original shape, so that the gripped object 2 is placed in the second housing portion 20. The gripped object 2 is stably held.

As shown in FIG. 2(a), the gripped object 2 is housed in a region near the opening 21a, which is one end 21 of the second housing portion 20, and other than the second housing portion 20 having an arc shape. Areas close to edge 22 are not reached. Note that if the other ends 12 and 22 of the first housing portion 10 and the second housing portion 20 are not arc-shaped but rectangular, a region close to the other end 22 of the second housing portion 20 can be gripped. It is possible to push and store the object 2 .

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the gripped object 2 is stored in the second storage part 20 and the patient's hand is stored in the first storage part 10. Especially, FIG. 3(b) and FIG. (c) is a diagram showing a state in which the restraining glove 1 is bound with the fixing band 30. FIG. FIG. 3(a) shows a state of the restraining glove 1 viewed from the side, showing the patient's hand accommodated in the first accommodation section 10 and the grasped object 2 accommodated in the second accommodation section 20. FIG. are included in the figure. The illustration of the fixing band 30 is omitted for the sake of convenience. FIG. 3(b) shows the state of the restraining glove 1 viewed from the front side, and FIG. 3(c) shows the state of the restraining glove 1 viewed from the back side. The illustration of the patient's hand is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 3( a ), the patient's hand housed in the first housing portion 10 passes through the shared surfaces 14 , 24 of the first housing portion 10 and the second housing portion 20 , the second housing portion 10 and the second housing portion 20 . The gripped object 2 stored in the storage part 20 of 2 is gripped. Since it is through the shared surfaces 14 and 24, the patient's hands are not directly gripping the gripping object 2, but are gripping it indirectly. In addition, even if it is said that the patient is holding the object 2, it does not necessarily mean that the patient's hand is completely gripping the object 2, and that the patient's hand is partially covering the side surface of the object 2 with almost the entire palm and fingers. close to

Most of the patient's wrists are accommodated in the internal space in the partial region 13 of the first housing 10 . A second accommodation portion 20 is formed at a position corresponding to the partial area 13 , and the object 2 is accommodated in the second accommodation portion 20 . For this reason, the internal space in the partial region 13 of the first housing portion 10 is narrowed as if it is pressed by the gripped object 2 , and the back of the hand is in close contact with the inner surface of the partial region 13 on the back side, and the palm is pressed. The inner surface of the partial area 13 on the front side (the side of the shared surfaces 14 and 24) comes to adhere to it. At this time, all five fingers are placed on the gripped object 2, and since the five fingers are divided and housed in the two narrow divided housing portions 15 and 16, there is room to move the fingers. There will be almost no space left. This effectively constrains the movement of the patient's hand.

As shown in FIGS. 3(b) and 3(c), after putting the patient's hand into the restraining glove 1, the fixing band 30 prevents the restraining glove 1 from coming off. tie up By lengthening the entire length of the fixing band 30, there is a surplus even after tying the first accommodation section 10, and the surplus fixing band 30 is tied to the fence of the patient's bed. good too. By doing so, it becomes possible not only to restrain the movement of the part beyond the wrist of the patient with the restraint glove 1, but also to restrain the movement of the whole hand by the fixing band 30.

As described in detail above, the restraint glove 1 of this embodiment has a bag shape with one longitudinal end 11 open and the other longitudinal end 12 closed, and accommodates from the patient's fingertips to at least the wrist. and a position corresponding to a partial region 13 from the other end 12 to the one end 11 of the first accommodation portion 10 outside the first accommodation portion 10 for a second housing portion 20 for housing a graspable object 2 formed and held in the patient's hand held in the first housing portion 10, the outer surface of the partial region 13 of the first housing portion 10; 14 is configured to be the inner surface 24 of the second accommodating portion 20 .

The restraining glove 1 of this embodiment configured in this way only has the second storage section 20 for storing the grasped object 2 outside the first storage section 10 for storing the patient's hand. , the configuration is simple and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, when using the restraining glove 1 of this embodiment, it is only necessary to store the patient's hand in the first storage section 10 and store the gripped object 2 in the second storage section 20. Since it is not necessary to follow a complicated procedure of folding the cover in two and tightening it with a fastener after placing the object to be grasped and the patient's hand between the covers, the patient's hand can be easily attached.

It should be noted that the shape shown in the above embodiment is merely an example of implementation of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited by this. . Thus, the invention may be embodied in various forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
