Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a bed table device that is used by being installed above the bed in a substantially horizontal state.

(Prior Art) For example, in hospitals, bed table devices are used for patients to eat, read, etc. on their beds. This table device has a table plate provided on the upper surface of a frame, and legs for supporting the table plate substantially horizontally are vertically provided at both ends of the frame in the width direction. The table device is used by installing the table plate above the bed so as to straddle the bed in the width direction.

On the other hand, some table devices are provided with elbow rests at both ends of the table plate for a patient to rest his or her elbows on while sitting on the bed. The elbow rest is used by a patient who is unable to lie face up on the bed due to burns on his or her back to rest his elbows on when sleeping with his face face down on the table board. Therefore, it is easier for patients to rest their elbows on the table plate if it is provided so as to protrude from one side.

By the way, if the arm rest is provided so as to protrude from one side of the table board, when the table board is used for eating or reading, the elbow rest protruding from one side of the table board can be used. The patient's arm or body would sometimes get in the way, making it difficult to use. A prior art example of such a table device is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 57-139322.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) As described above, in the conventional bed table device equipped with an elbow rest, when the elbow rest is not used, the elbow rest protrudes from one side of the table board. Therefore, when eating using the table board, for example, the arm or body tends to collide with the elbow rest, which can be a nuisance.

This idea was made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose was to make it easier to use by having the armrest protrude from one side of the table board only when it is in use, and to prevent it from getting in the way when not in use. To provide a table device for a bed which prevents such problems from occurring.

[Structure of the idea]

(Means and effects for solving the problem) In order to solve the above problem, this invention includes a frame, a table board provided on the upper surface of the frame, and a table board that connects the table board through both ends of the frame in the width direction. A support body supports the bed in a substantially horizontal state above the bed, and a support body is rotatably connected to both ends of the table plate, and when the table plate is rotated and stacked on the table plate, one end part is attached to the frame. It includes a pair of elbow rests protruding from one side in a direction perpendicular to the width direction. The armrest is rotated during use so that one end can protrude from one side of the table board only when it is stacked on the table board.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The bed 1 indicated by the chain line in Fig. 1 is the base 2.
and a pinerest 3 placed on this base 2. A table device 4 is installed above the mattress 3 so as to straddle the bed 1 in the width direction.

The table device 4 has a rectangular frame 5 that is longer than the width of the base 2 of the bed 1.
has. The width direction (longitudinal direction) of this frame 5
A pair of partition members 6 are provided at a predetermined interval along the front-rear direction orthogonal to the width direction in the middle. A dish-shaped container 7 with an open top is dropped into each of the two rectangular frames partitioned by the pair of partition members 6, and is fixedly provided so as to protrude from the bottom side of the frame 5. ing.

A substantially trapezoidal table plate 8 is bonded and fixed to the center portion of the upper surface of the frame 5. One side (upper side) of this table board 8 along the front-rear direction of the frame 5 is set to have a length approximately equal to the interval between the pair of partition members 6, and the other side (lower side) is set to be sufficiently longer than the one side. has been done. Further, on a pair of oblique sides at both ends of the table board 8 that are inclined in opposite directions, a board 1 constituting an elbow rest 9 is provided.
An oblique side inclined at an angle corresponding to the above-mentioned oblique side of No. 1 is rotatably connected by an embedded hinge 12. When the pair of elbow rests 9 are joined to the upper surface of the frame 5, they form a rectangular shape slightly larger than the frame 5 together with the table plate 8, as shown by chain lines in FIG. table board 8
When the two end portions of the frame 5 are overlapped with each other, one end portion protrudes from one side of the frame 5 in the front-rear direction, as shown by the solid line in FIG. At this time, the above frame 5
The upper surface of each container 7 provided at both ends of the container 7 is open. Further, a cushion body 13 is provided on one side that is the upper side when the elbow rest body 9 is stacked on the table board 8. This cushion body 13 is not shown in detail, but is made of an elastic material such as urethane foam covered with a sheet such as cloth.
The members at both ends of the frame 5 in the width direction are thinner than the members on both sides so that the cushion body 13 is not compressed when the elbow rest 9 is joined onto the frame 5.

One end of a slide leg 14 made of a square pipe is fixed to an intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the lower surface of both ends of the frame 5, respectively. Each slide leg 14 is slidably inserted into the upper end side of a fixed leg 15 also made of a square pipe. A set screw 16 is provided at the upper end of the fixed leg 15 to adjust the height of the table plate 8 by fixing the slide leg 14 at an arbitrary sliding position, and casters 17 are provided at both ends at the lower end. The supporting member 18 is fixed in a substantially inverted T-shape. The caster 17 can be held non-rotatably by a lever (not shown), so that it cannot be moved when the table device 4 is used.

Note that the slide leg 14 and the fixed leg 15 constitute a support body that supports the frame 5.

According to the table device 4 for the bed 1 configured in this way, when the patient K sleeps while seated on the pinerest 3, the pair of elbow rests 9 are rotated as shown in FIG. Polymerize on plate 8. Then, one end of the table board 8 protrudes from one side of the frame 5 in the front-rear direction.
The patient K can comfortably rest his elbows on the pair of elbow rests 9.

On the other hand, when eating, for example, using the table device 4, the elbow rest 9 is placed in the first position.
Frame 5 as shown by the dashed line in FIG.
be joined to the top surface of the Then, a pair of elbow rests 9
The table board 8 and the table board 8 form a rectangular shape slightly larger than the frame 5, and one end of the elbow rest 9 does not protrude from one side of the frame 5 in the front-rear direction as when the elbow is placed on it. There is no chance of your arm or body hitting 9 and getting in the way.

Also, an elbow rest 9 joined to the upper surface of the frame 5
By rotating the container 7, the top surface of the container 7 can be opened. Therefore, the container 7 can be conveniently used as a storage place for small items such as chopsticks and spoons for eating, medicines, and a thermometer.

In the above embodiment, the frame 2 of the table board 4 is supported by the slide legs 14 and the fixed legs 15, but if side fences are provided on both sides of the base 2 of the bed 1, these side fences may be supported. The frame may be used as a body, and both ends of the frame may be engaged with the upper ends of the side rails to hold the frame.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention provides a table plate on the upper surface of the frame that is supported above the bed in an almost horizontal state by a support body, and rotatably attaches armrests to each end of the table plate. connect,
When these elbow rests are rotated and superimposed on the table board, one end thereof protrudes from one side of the frame. Therefore, when the patient sleeps in a sitting position on the bed,
If the above-mentioned elbow rest is stacked on the table board, one end of it will protrude from one side of the frame, so you can rest your elbows on the elbow rest easily. If it is joined to the frame, it will form a rectangular shape with the table board, and one end will not protrude from one side of the frame, so it will not get in the way when your arm or body hits it.
