Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a bathing device for newborn babies that allows the newborn to be handled safely and reliably when bathing the newborn.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when bathing a newborn baby under one year old, the baby is washed with gauze or the like while being held so as not to drop the baby, but when washing the baby's body,
It was dangerous if performed by an inexperienced person. In particular, published data shows that when a newborn drowns, there is a high probability that some after-effects will occur even if the baby survives.

Therefore, as described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 48-28936, a chair-type holder that engages and supports the apron of the bathtub is prepared, and as described in Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 56-44471, a net is placed in the bathtub. Some are hung over the other, or laid down on a bed installed in the bathtub, as seen in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-36158.

However, chair-type devices require a certain degree of physical development and are difficult to use for newborns. Net type bathtubs are not enough to submerge your entire body in, as they only allow you to immerse yourself in the upper layer of hot water in a bathtub. In-tub type bathtubs not only have the same drawbacks as net-type bathtubs, but also make it troublesome to wash your back while lying down.

On the other hand, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 56-5527, there is a bathing device mainly aimed at physically handicapped people, in which a bather lying on a net is raised and lowered into a bathtub. According to this, the device itself becomes large-scale, and since the entire device is raised and lowered uniformly, the bather is merely immersed in the upper surface of the hot water. Therefore, as a bathing device for newborns that allows bathing with only the head above the water,
It is inappropriate.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) Therefore, in this invention, in order to be most suitable for bathing a newborn whose body parts are not fully developed, we have developed a system that allows the newborn to be held in an extremely ideal state. It's about doing.

In other words, even newborn infants whose bodies are not fully developed can be easily bathed, their bodies fully immersed in the water with their heads above the water, and their bodies thoroughly bathed and cared for by guardians and caregivers. The goal is to ensure that each part of the body can be washed with ease.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in this invention, the newborn container is hung between the pillars installed on the left and right sides of the bathtub body. The newborn container is capable of being raised and lowered separately from the front and rear by means of a lifting means attached to the support column, and the newborn container is formed by combining belts with coarse intervals in a lattice shape.

(Function) In the newborn bathing device according to this invention, a newborn baby is housed in the newborn housing, and the newborn housing is lowered into the bathtub body by operating the elevating means.

At this time, the height adjustment operation using the elevating means for the front and rear of the newborn housing is done so that the head of the newborn in the newborn housing is higher than the legs. The newborn baby's body can be washed using the intervals between each belt of the container.

After washing, use the lifting means to raise the
What is necessary is to raise the newborn baby container from the bathtub body, pick up the newborn baby, and provide predetermined care.

The inclination angle of the newborn container can be set in accordance with the development of the newborn's body by raising and lowering the newborn container at the front and rear of the newborn container by the lifting means.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a bathtub main body having an appropriate size for bathing a newborn baby, and the bathtub main body 1 is constructed integrally with the bathtub base 2, for example, on a bathtub base 2 as shown in the figure. This improves portability throughout the bathtub.

Supports 3 are erected on the left and right sides of the bathtub body 1. The pillar 3 in the illustration is the bathtub base 2.
A front support rod 4 fixed on the front part of the bathtub base 2 and a rear support rod 5 fixed on the rear part of the bathtub base 2 are connected by an upper support rod 6. It is designed to be supported so that it can be raised and lowered freely.

The newborn container 10 is formed by combining belts with coarse intervals in a lattice shape. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the upper support belts 11 arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part are connected at the front and rear belt fixing parts 12, and from the front and rear belt fixing parts 12, the upper support belts 11 are connected to each other. The lower support belts 13 arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part are connected, and the lower support belts 13 and the upper support belt 11 are connected by a plurality of side belts 14, and there is a gap between the lower support belts 13. A bottom center support belt 1 in which a plurality of bottom belts 15 are connected in parallel by roughening the bottom belts 15, and each of the bottom belts 15 is connected to the belt fixing part 12.
Further, a head support net 17 for positioning and supporting the newborn baby's head is provided beside at least one of the belt fixing parts 12.

Therefore, the upper support belt 11 and the side belt 1
4 is connected to the connecting ring 14 in the illustration.
Although the connection structure is via A, the connection structure is not limited thereto, and may be via an appropriate fixing means.

In addition, each belt 11, 13, 14, 15, 16
The cross-section of the cross-section may be flat, round, or other shapes, and the cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited, and it is desirable that they be fixed to each other at their intersections. Furthermore, although it is preferable that the material is waterproof, it is not necessarily required that the material be waterproof; however, since the newborn will come into direct contact with it, it should have a flexible feel to the newborn. It is good to keep it.

In particular, the distance between the bottom belts 15 is such that the newborn baby accommodated in the newborn container 10 itself can be firmly held, and the newborn baby will not fall out from that distance. Further, the intervals are not set too finely, but are set to such an extent that it does not cause any inconvenience for a caregiver to insert his or her fingers through the interval between the bottom belts 15 when washing the newborn baby's body.

The head support net 17 can accommodate the head of a newborn baby and prevent it from shaking even if the newborn baby's neck muscles are not sufficiently developed and the head cannot sit upright. It is designed so that it can be supported. This head support net 17 may be provided on both the front and rear belt fixing parts 12, and in this case, the newborn can be placed on either side of the newborn container 10 depending on the working posture of the caregiver. This can improve the efficiency of bathing work.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the neonate accommodated in the neonatal housing 10 from moving within the neonatal housing 10, a support band 18 is attached, for example, for fixing the leg portion, waist portion, and crotch portion.

Such a newborn container 10 is supported by a lifting means 20 provided on the support column 3 so as to be adjustable up and down.

That is, this elevating means 20 extends a hanging belt 19 connected to the belt fixing part 12 of the newborn container 10 over a hanging roller 21 that is rotatably supported on the support rod 6.
A hoisting shaft 2 whose tip is rotatably supported via a bearing 22 between the front support rod 4 and the rear support rod 5.
The height adjustment handle 2 is fixed to the winding roller 24 which is fixed to the winding shaft 23.
By winding up and unwinding the suspension belt 19 by means 5, the front and rear of the newborn container 10 can be raised and lowered separately.

Note that the rotation operation of the hoisting shaft 23 can be performed by rotating the height adjustment handle 25, or by rotating the height adjustment handle 25 after adjusting the vertical position of the newborn container 10.
itself is stopped and fixed by a suitable stopper 26.

This device is constructed as described above, and when used, as shown in FIG. 4, a newborn baby is accommodated in the newborn container 10, and as shown in FIG. Height adjustment handle 25
By this operation, the newborn container 10 is lowered into the bathtub body 1 via the hanging belt 19. At this time, the front and rear height adjustment handles 25 of the lifting means 20 are operated so that the head of the newborn in the newborn container 10 is higher than the legs. The newborn baby's body can be washed using the intervals between the belts 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of the container 10.

Further, the newborn baby's head can be washed from outside the head support net 17 that accommodates the head.

After washing, the newborn container 10 is raised from the bathtub body 1 by a lifting operation using the lifting means 20, the newborn is held in the arms, and predetermined care is given.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, this invention spans the newborn container 10 between the pillars 3 that are vertically arranged on the left and right sides of the bathtub body 1, and lifts and lowers the lifting means 20 attached to the pillars 3.
The newborn container 10 can be raised and lowered separately from the front and back, and the newborn container 10 is constructed by combining belts 11, 13, 14, 15, and 16 with coarse intervals in a lattice shape. Therefore, even newborn babies whose bodies are not fully developed and who are difficult to handle can be held securely and easily bathed.

For example, even if a temporary disability occurs in the limbs after childbirth, the newborn can be simply housed in the newborn container 10 and raised and lowered into the bathtub body 1 via the lifting means 20, which is extremely simple. be.

Moreover, even when washing a newborn housed in the newborn housing 10, the newborn housing 10 itself has belts 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 with coarse intervals.
Because they are combined and formed in a grid pattern, the entire body can be washed evenly, and by keeping the newborn's body clean, it is possible to prevent eczema, sweat rash, and other skin disorders specific to newborns. Moreover, the newborn baby accommodated in the newborn container 10 is attached to a belt 11,
You can also grab belts 13, 14, 15, and 16, so you don't have to feel scared and can grab belts 11, 1.
