Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is suitable for the care work by caregivers.
Regarding a stretcher with a split structure.

[Conventional technology]

There are various types of stretchers used to move physically disabled people and hospitalized patients, including those with a flat shape and those with a slightly slanted backrest. To achieve this, a carrier has been proposed that has a three-part structure in which the inclination angle of the backrest can be changed, and an upper leg support part and a lower leg support part that support the lower body are connected at a variable connection angle. This type of carrier with a three-part structure allows flexibility in the supine posture of the patient, so it is suitable for a progressive bathing device that performs washing, bathing, and wiping in a sequential manner, and is expected to improve operability. It is rare.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In conventional carriers with a three-part structure, the head support part and the back support part are integrated, so when bathing a person lying on a stretcher, the support position is such that the head is slightly tilted forward relative to the back. For this reason, when shaving or washing your hair, which requires tilting your head horizontally or backwards, place a pillow on your neck.
The angle of inclination of the head must be changed each time,
There were problems such as the head not being stable, making it difficult for caregivers to work.

In particular, when applied to the above-mentioned sequential bathing device in which washing, bathing, and wiping are performed sequentially, there are problems such as a tendency to reduce the work efficiency of the caregiver.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention solves the above problem, and the head support part, back support part, upper leg support part, and lower leg support part are connected via a connection part with a variable connection angle, and the head support part The connection part connecting the head support part and the back support part is connected to the connection part of the head support part and the back support part, and the end part of the back support part is connected to the connection part of the back support part so that a tilt angle suitable for bathing, shaving, and hair washing can be obtained respectively. A locking member having three locking grooves is fixed to the connecting member, a head support is rotatably provided on a support shaft passing through the locking member, and the head support is rotatably provided through the center of the head support. A locking means configured to apply a spring biasing force to the stopper rod in the locking direction so as to lock the tip of the stopper rod in one of the locking grooves of the locking member, The gist of the present invention is that the back support part is locked in forward, horizontal, and backward tilted positions with respect to the back support part.

[Effect]

This device has four mutually connected support parts that support the head, back, upper legs, and lower legs separately, allowing for a comfortable supine posture and three levels of inclination relative to the back support part. The head support part can change its angle when taking a bath, shaving, or washing hair.
Each head is supported at an optimal inclination angle.

〔Example〕

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. Figures 1 to 3
The figures are a plan view, a side view, and a main part side view showing one embodiment of the carrier of this invention, and Figures 4 to 6 are side views showing forward, horizontal, and backward head support states, respectively. It is a diagram.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, the carrier 1 has a four-part structure consisting of four parts: a head support part 2, a back support part 3, an upper leg support part 4, and a lower leg support part 5. 4,
5 are connected by a connecting portion 6 having a hinge structure. A mat 7 having a structure that does not impede the movement of the connecting part 6 is attached from the head support part 2 to the middle of the upper leg support part 4 to soften the impact on patients who are in a supine position.

The lever 8 is a lever for changing the inclination angle of the back support part 3 in three stages, and the lever 9 is for changing the connection angle between the upper leg support part 4 and the lower leg support part 5 when taking a kneeling posture. This is the lever. Second
In the figure, a dashed line indicates a state in which the back support part 3 is raised and the connection angle between the upper leg support part 4 and the lower leg support part 5 is changed to take a kneeling posture.

Here, the inclination angle of the head support part 2 with respect to the back support part 3 can be changed in three stages, and the connecting part 6 thereof has a configuration shown in FIG. 3. That is, the L-shaped connecting member 10 connected to the end of the back support part 3 has three locking grooves 11.
A fan-shaped locking member 11 having a diameter of 1.a is fixed with bolts, and a support shaft 1 passing through the locking member 11 is fixed.
A head support part 2 is rotatably assembled to 2. Then, by locking the tip of the stopper rod 13 that passes through the center of the head support section 2 in one of the locking grooves 11a of the locking member 11, the inclination angle of the head support section 2 can be adjusted to a desired angle. It can be fixed to 14 is stop parody 13
This is a spring that urges the locking direction.

The locking member 11, the locking groove 11a, the stopper rod 13, the spring 14, etc. constitute a locking means.

When the tip of the stopper rod 13 is currently locked in the upper locking groove 1a of the locking member 11, the head support portion 2 assumes an inclination angle such that the tip faces obliquely upward. In this case, the head of the patient lying supine on the stretcher 1 assumes a forward tilted position looking diagonally forward, which is most suitable for bathing, as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the tip of the stopper rod 13 is locked in the middle locking groove 11a of the locking member 11, the head support portion 2 becomes substantially horizontal. In this case, the head of the patient lying supine on the stretcher 1 assumes a horizontal position with the face facing directly upward, which is most suitable for shaving, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, when the tip of the stopper rod 13 is locked in the lower locking groove 11a of the locking member 11,
The head support part 2 has an inclination angle such that the tip thereof faces diagonally downward. In this case, the head of the patient lying supine on the stretcher 1 assumes a backward tilted position looking diagonally backward, which is most suitable for hair washing, as shown in FIG.

In this way, the stretcher 1 has a four-part structure in which the head, back, upper legs, and lower legs are supported by separate support parts 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Since the connecting angle is variable, patients with disabilities can lie on their backs in a comfortable position with maximum freedom of the upper and lower bodies. Furthermore, the head support part 2 is tilted forward with respect to the back support part 3, horizontally
The locking member 1 can be tilted into three backward tilting positions.
Since the stopper rod 13 whose locking position can be changed in three stages relative to 1 is provided, the head of the supine patient can be set at an optimal inclination angle for bathing, shaving, and hair washing. Therefore, the patient's head can be placed in the optimal tilted position for the purpose without relying on unstable auxiliary means such as pillows.
It is suitable for a progressive bathing device that sequentially performs tasks such as washing, bathing, and wiping.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, this invention has a four-division structure in which the head, back, upper legs, and lower legs are supported by separate support parts, and each support part is configured to have a variable connection angle. A certain patient is able to lie supine in a comfortable position with maximum freedom for the upper and lower body, and the head support can be tilted forward, horizontal, and backward relative to the back support. A locking means that can be tilted in three different locking positions allows the head of a supine patient to be placed at the optimal tilt angle for bathing, shaving, and hair washing. This is a progressive bathing device that allows the patient's head to be placed in the optimal tilted position to suit the purpose without relying on unstable and auxiliary means, and performs washing, bathing, wiping, etc. It has excellent effects such as being suitable.
