Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a bathing patient transport vehicle included in a labor-saving bathing device for bathing patients who are unable to take a bath by themselves due to impaired motor function.

Conventionally, there was a transport vehicle in which a stretcher in a horizontal position was supported by a frame with legs bent upward at both longitudinal ends and legs pointing downwards, and wheels were attached to the lower ends of the legs. The transport vehicle has a disadvantage in that the upwardly curved member gets in the way of the caregiver when getting the patient on and off the stretcher, requiring a great deal of effort.

In addition, conventional progressive bathing devices have been equipped with an elevating frame with rails inside the bathtub, and a stretcher with a patient placed on it is slid onto the rails, but vibrations occur when the patient is placed on the rails. This has the disadvantage that it causes discomfort to the patient and gives them anxiety about the stretcher falling off, and that caretakers are required to perform operations to prevent the stretcher from falling off and to join the rails, which requires careful attention and puts a large mental burden on them.
