Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a device for assisting people who are physically disabled and have difficulty standing up on their own, such as sick, physically disabled, or elderly people, to stand up. It is related to.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, people who have difficulty standing up on their own have been assisted by a nurse, caregiver, or other person to help them stand up.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As mentioned above, standing-up movements have traditionally been assisted manually, which places a heavy burden on the assistant, both physically and mentally.

The present invention aims to reduce the burden placed on such assistants.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 corresponding to embodiments.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

First, the standing-up assisting device 1 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a supporting member having a backrest portion 22 on the rear side of a pair of fork members 4 forming a chest accommodation space 3 for a person to be assisted. The lifting member 7 of the lifting mechanism 6 configured as shown in FIG.

The auxiliary device 1 described in item 2 is configured such that casters 9 are provided on the lower side of the base 5 of the auxiliary device 1 described in item 1, so that the device 1 is movable.

In the auxiliary device 1 described in item 3, the elevating mechanism 6 described in item 1 is replaced by an elevating member 7 configured with a female thread 10.
and a screw shaft 11 that is screwed into the female screw 10,
The screw shaft 11 is rotatably driven by means 12.

The auxiliary device 1 described in item 4 includes the lifting mechanism 6 described in item 1, a guide 13 configured vertically on a base 5, an elevator member 7 configured to be movable along the guide 13, and A winding transmission link 14 such as a chain or a toothed belt fixed to the member 7, a winding transmission wheel 15 such as an upper and lower sprocket that engages with the winding transmission joint 14, and a rotational drive of the winding transmission wheel 15. It is composed of means 16.

The auxiliary device 1 described in item 5 includes the lifting mechanism 6 described in item 1, a guide 13 configured on a base 5 in the vertical direction, a lifting member 7 configured to be movable along the guide 13, and A hanging wire 17 fixed to the member 7 and a pulley 1 supporting the hanging wire 17
8 and a winding device 19 for the hanging wire 17.

The rising/lowering mechanism 6 described in item 1 includes a guide 13 configured vertically on a base 5, and a lifting member 7 configured to be movable along the guide 13. , an actuating rod 20 fixed to the elevating member 7 in the vertical direction, and a means 21 for driving the actuating rod 20 forward and backward.

[Effect]

When a person to be assisted 2, such as a sick person or a physically disabled person, who is lying down, stands up to relieve himself, etc.
First, the assistant raises only the upper body of the person to be assisted 2, as shown in Figure 3a. Then, the standing-up assisting device 1 of the present invention is brought close to the person to be assisted 2, and the support member 4 is moved to the person to be assisted as shown in FIG. 3b.
The chest of the subject 2 is placed under the arm of the device 1.
The chest storage space 3 of

In this state, the support member can stably support the person to be assisted 2 by the pair of forks 4 and the backrest portion 22. In this state, the lifting mechanism 6 is driven to lift the weight support member. 4, the person to be assisted 2 can easily stand up while resting his or her weight on the weight support member 4, as shown in FIG. 3c.

At this time, since the cushion part 8 is formed at least on the upper side of the weight support member 4 applied to the armpit of the person to be assisted 2, the stimulation given to the armpit of the person to be assisted 2 can be alleviated.

The person to be assisted 2 who has been able to stand up in this way may leave the support member and move to the destination by walking without relying on anything, or if it is difficult to do so, If the device 1 is configured to be movable by providing casters 9 on the lower side of the base 5 of the device 1, the person to be assisted 2 can move easily while resting his/her weight on the support member.

〔Example〕

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lifting mechanism 6 of the standing-up assisting device 1 of the present invention is
0, a screw shaft 11 screwed onto the screw shaft 11, and a rotation drive means 12 for the screw shaft 11.The rotation drive means 12 is composed of, for example, a motor, which rotates the screw shaft 11.
The internal screw 10 and the weight support member 4 protruding therefrom are raised and lowered in accordance with the direction of rotation.

Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4a, the lifting member 7 is raised and lowered by rotation of a wrap-around transmission wheel 15 such as a sprocket and a wrap-around transmission wheel 14 such as a chain. By providing the guide 13 that is movably supported in the direction, the elevating member 7 can be moved up and down stably and smoothly. Rotation drive means 16 for the wrapped transmission wheel 15
may be composed of, for example, a motor. Figure 4b
Similarly, the lifting member 7 is raised and lowered using a hanging wire 17, a pulley 18, and a wire winding means 19.

In addition, as the elevating mechanism 6 of the device 1, for example, as shown in FIG.
1 may be fixed to the elevating member 7 in the vertical direction, and the elevating member 7 and the weight support member 4 may be moved up and down.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, by using the standing-up assisting device of the present invention, even people who have difficulty standing up on their own can easily stand up without borrowing the help of others by using the supporting member. At this time, the support member has a backrest portion on the rear side of the pair of fork members that form the chest accommodation space, so the support is stable, and when the patient stands up, he or she can easily move away from the support member. It has the effect of being able to walk. Further, in the present invention, if the caster 9 is provided on the base, after standing up as described above, it is possible to hold on to the caster 9 and walk, so that it also functions as a walking aid. This has the effect of dramatically increasing the motor ability of the person being assisted, such as being able to do the same thing, and reducing the physical and mental burden on the caregiver.
