Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a comfortable body supporting unit and bed with no draft infiltrating from a seam between divided supporting units by dividing the body supporting unit of mattress or the like corresponding to a divided floor of the bed loading the body supporting unit while providing a wedged protruding and retracting part in the seam respectively between the divided supporting units. CONSTITUTION:Since a body supporting unit 1 is divided into divided supporting units 1a, 1b, 1c corresponding to divided floors 3a, 3b, 3c, the mutually corresponding divided floor and divided supporting unit, for instance, the divided floor 3a and the divided supporting unit 1a and the divided floor 3b and the divided supporting unit 1b,... can be handled as an integral unit. The body supporting unit 1, providing a protruding part 5 and a retracting part 6 wedged engaging in a seam 4 respectively of the divided supporting units 1a, 1b, 1c with the seam 4 detouring, prevents air from easily passing through as compared with that only placing a plane shape to be opposed, accordingly, draft air can be prevented from passing through from the seam 4, and a user 7 of patient or the like can quietly sleep with no feeling of coldness even in winter.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a medical bed used by a patient, and a body support such as a mattress for use therein.

[Conventional technology]

Examples of conventional medical beds and body supports used therefor include those shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b). This is divided into an upper body part a' and a lower body part a' so that the user of the bed a can defecate easily.When defecating, the lower body part a is separated from the upper body part a', and a toilet is placed between them. It is designed so that C can be placed.

Furthermore, in the case shown in FIGS. 5(C) and (d), the floor section d' corresponding to the patient's buttocks is divided from the other floor section d and is configured to be freely lowerable. To make it easier for the patient to defecate, the floor area d' corresponding to the buttocks is
The toilet bowl C can be placed between the buttocks of the patient's seat and a body support e such as a mattress.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In a bed where the floor is divided into appropriate places in this way, the body support e such as a pinerest placed on it is also divided corresponding to the division method, so that the body There is a problem in that a draft g enters into the bed a through the seam f of the support e, which causes stress to the patient, such as making it particularly cold in winter and making it difficult to sleep. The present invention aims to solve these problems.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 4 corresponding to the embodiments. First, the body support 1 according to claim 1 has a structure in which a bed 2 on which the body support 1 is placed is divided. la, lb, lc corresponding to floors 3a, 3b, 3c,...

Next, in the bed 2 described in item 2, of the entire floor 3, at least the floor portion 3b corresponding to the buttocks is connected to the other floor portion 3a.

It is divided from 3c, ... and configured to be freely descendable,
The body support l placed on the floor 3 is also divided into floors 3a and 3b.

The divided supports 1a, lb, lc, .
Furthermore, the protruding portion 5 of the buttock-corresponding body support 1b is provided below the retreating portion 6.

The bed 2 described in item 3 includes a floor 3 and a body support 1 placed on the floor 3, with upper body parts 3d, ld and lower body parts 3e, l.
The bed 2 is divided into an upper body part 2d and a lower body part 2e.
The lower body part 2e is configured to be movable and detachable from the upper body part 2d.
A protruding portion 5 and a recessed portion 6 are provided at the seam 4 of e.

[Function and Examples]

The operation of the present invention will be explained with reference to examples.

First, the body support l described in item 1 has divided beds 3al 3bl 3CI3d, 3 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4.
Split supports 1a, lb corresponding to e.

Since it is divided into lc, ld, and le, there are divided beds and divided supports that correspond to each other, for example, divided bed 3a and divided support 1a.
, the divided bed 3b and the divided support 1b, . You can easily pull it away from it, bring it closer to it, or lower a portion of it. Moreover, the joints 4 of each of the divided supports 1a, lb, lc, . . . As shown in Figures 2 and 4, compared to the case where two planes are simply butted together, air can pass through the joint 4 more easily. The user 7 can sleep soundly without feeling cold even in winter.If the mating protruding part 5 and the retreating part 6 have a shape that bypasses the seam 4 laterally, as shown in FIG. 2(a), (bl, Figure 4 (al, (b)
It may be configured as appropriate, such as the shapes shown in (C).

Next, the bed 2 described in item 2 is provided with the body support l described in item 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the floor section 3b corresponding to the buttocks of the patient 7 is replaced with another floor section 3a.

3C, and when the patient 7 defecates, the buttocks-corresponding floor part 3b and the corresponding buttocks-corresponding body support body 1b are moved by an appropriate mechanism as shown in FIG. 1(b). By lowering the toilet bowl 8 and placing it on the buttocks-corresponding body support 1b, the patient 7 can defecate while lying on the bed 2. When defecating, as shown in FIG. 1(a), the buttocks corresponding floor part 3b and the body support 1b are raised, and the divided supports 1a, lb,
If the seam 4 of the lc is kept in the engaged state, drafts from the seam 4 will not enter.

Note that the reason why the protruding part 5 of the buttocks-corresponding body support 1b is provided below the retreating part 6 is because, on the contrary, if the protruding part 5 is provided above the retreating part 6, this protruding part 5 is adjacent to the protruding part 5. This is because the body support 1b corresponding to the buttocks will not be able to move up and down smoothly because it will get caught in the protruding parts 5 of the divided supports 1a and lc.

Next, the bed 2 described in item 3 uses the body support 1 described in item 1, and also divides the floor 3 into an upper body part 3d and a lower body part 3e as shown in FIG. 2d and a lower body part 2e, the lower body part 2e is configured to be movable and detachable from the upper body part 2d. , separate the lower body part 2e from the upper body part 2d,
If the toilet bowl 8 is placed between them, the patient 7 can sit on the toilet bowl 8 and defecate without moving his/her body from the bed 2. As shown in FIG. 3(al), except when defecating, the lower body part 2e is connected to the upper body part 2d, and the split support 1
If the seams 4 of d and 1e are brought together, drafts from the seams 4 can be prevented.

The body support l described above may be configured as a spring pinerest, a pinerest using foamed synthetic resin filling, or any other suitable configuration. is also appropriate.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the body support of the present invention and the bed using the same can be used in a divided manner, such that users such as patients can defecate easily without moving their bodies. This has the effect of realizing a comfortable body support and bed that enjoys the advantages of a bed with a floor and does not allow drafts to enter through the joints of the split supports.
