Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This device is used to bathe physically disabled people, bedridden elderly people, sick people, etc. It's about chairs.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Usually, people with disabilities, bedridden elderly, or sick people are admitted to homes, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. When giving a child a bath, a caregiver such as a nurse must hold the child directly. This is extremely difficult for women, especially women who are weak, and requires multiple caregivers. Along with this, there was a problem that caused back pain.

0003 Therefore, the inventor of this application proposed that an attendant be provided as in Utility Application No. 2-104863. You can now bathe your child from a wheelchair without having to hold them.

0004 The chair used for bathing consists of a seat placed at the bottom of the bathtub, and a seat placed from the rear edge of this seat. It consists of a backrest that stands up. Note that the above seats are fixed type seats whose height cannot be changed.

[0005]

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

When I sat on the seat, my chest was immersed in the bath, so I decided to immerse my chest in the bath. There was a problem that it could not be used by patients who were suffering from more harmful effects.

[0006] Also, since the backrest is fixed to the seat, it can be folded down when not in use to reduce the bulk. There was a problem that could not be solved.

[0007] Therefore, the problem with this invention is that the seat can be adjusted up and down, and it can also be folded. To provide a bathing chair whose bulk can be reduced.

[0008]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention has a pedestal and a pedestal placed above the pedestal. In addition, a seat is provided that can be raised and lowered using an appropriate raising and lowering adjustment device, and a seat above the seat is A backrest whose lower end is rotatably attached to the rear end of the base so as to be foldable, and the seat. A side rod with one end rotatably attached to both sides of the base, and a base of the backrest attached to the backrest. Adopts a chair consisting of a locking device provided to lock the other end of the side beam when standing. This is what I did.

[0009]

[Effect]

Stand up the backrest approximately vertically while rotating it in the direction of rising, and then The other end of the side rod is locked to the stopper to maintain the upright state of the backrest.

0010 In addition, if the patient's chest is kept outside the water surface while sitting on the seat while taking a bath, The seat is raised in advance to a predetermined height by operating the lowering adjustment device.

[0011] If the chair is not in use, first move the seat onto the base by operating the lift adjustment device. lower it. Next, release the lock on the other end of the side beam with the locking tool, and then lean the backrest in the direction of the fall. Place the backrest on top of the seat while rotating it.

【Example】

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] In the figure, 1 is a pedestal. The above pedestal 1 uses a rectangular frame as shown in the figure, and the bottom surface is made of non-slip rubber. Mat 2 is fixed.

[0014] Further, on the upper side of the seat 1, a seat 4 that can be raised and lowered by operating a lift adjustment device 3 is provided. is provided. In the case shown in the figure, the above-mentioned adjustment device 3 can be freely rotated by means of a pin 5 at a portion that intersects in an X shape. A pair of left and right X bars 6, 6 are pivoted on the seat 4, and the front upward ends of the left and right X bars 6 are Rotatably attach the front end on both sides and the rear downward end on both sides of the rear end of seat 1. a connecting rod 8 that connects the front downward ends of the left and right X rods 6; On the other hand, connect the rear upward ends of the left and right X-rods 6 to each other, and place the lower rear part of the seat 4 on a rack. a supporting rod 9, and a plate-like body 10 provided to stand up from both side edges of the front end of the upper surface of the seat 1. , so that the end of the connecting rod 8 fits between the front end and rear end of the upper edge of this plate-shaped body 10. The seat 4 is lifted from the chain line position to the solid line position in Figure 2. When the connecting rod 8 that has escaped from the recess 11 on the front side is pushed backward while pushing, the X rods 6, 6 opens, the seat 4 rises, and the end of the connecting rod 8 is dropped into the rear recess 11. Although the lowering of the seat 4 was prevented by It's okay.

[0015] 12 is lowered via a hinge 13 to the rear end of the seat base 1 so that it can be folded over the seat 4 in the lowered position. It is a backrest with a rotatable end.

[0016] The lower end of the backrest 12 is arranged so that it overlaps the seat 4 in parallel when folded. The lower end is bent forward and diagonally downward.

[0017] Reference numeral 14 denotes a side rod, one end of which is rotatably attached to both sides of the seat 1 via support fittings 15. be. The rods 14 on both sides are connected at the other end by a rod 14' so that the left and right sides rotate in sync. has been done.

[0018] In addition, the backrest 12 is provided with a device that stops the rotation of the backrest 12 that has been rotated to the vertical position. A locking fitting 16 is provided at the other end of the side rod 14 so as to do so. The above-mentioned locking fitting 16 includes a protrusion 17 attached to the backrest 12 as shown in FIG. A notch 18 is provided upward from the lower edge of this projecting piece 17 into which the rod 14' is inserted. , the end is rotatably attached to the projecting piece 17 via the pin 19, and the end is rotatably attached to the protrusion 17 through the pin 19, and the A hook 20 that hugs the lower circumferential surface of the rod 14' in the notch 18 as it moves, and It consists of an operating rod 21 that connects the hook 20, and the hook 20 is rotated clockwise in Fig. 3. Rotate the hook 20 counterclockwise to lock the rod 14', and rotate the hook 20 counterclockwise to lock the rod 14'. Although the lock is released, a method other than the above may be used to lock the lock.

[0019] In addition, the above-mentioned rod 14' is connected to the side frame and the backrest plate that form the backrest 12. It is interposed between.

[0020] With the above configuration, first, the backrest 12 is rotated to a substantially vertical standing position. Afterwards, the other end of the side rod 14 is locked to the locking metal fitting 16 to maintain the upright state of the backrest 12. maintain. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the seat 1 is placed on the bottom of the bathtub A.

[0021] After wheelchair B is placed next to bathtub A, the wheelchair is lifted up via lifting device b. Put the patient, such as child B, into bathtub A and sit on seat 4.

[0022] When taking a bath, if the chest of a sick person sitting on seat 4 is to be kept outside the bath water, the height adjustment The seat 4 is raised in advance to a predetermined height by operating the adjustment device 3.

[0023] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, a clamp fitting 31 is provided on the side of the backrest 12 to The protruding plate 32 on the side of the wheelchair B placed next to the tank A is secured by the clamp fitting 31. When clamped, the wheelchair B and the bathtub chair are integrated and the wheelchair B can be moved easily. Falling down is prevented.

[0024] In addition, screw holes 33 are provided on both sides of the backrest 12, and screws are inserted into the screw holes 33. It would be convenient if the clamp fitting 31 could be replaced via the bolt 35. Ru.

[0025]

【effect】 As described above, according to the bathing chair according to this invention, the seat can be adjusted by the lifting adjustment device. The height of the bath can be changed freely, so it can be adjusted to keep the bather's chest above the water surface. I can arrange things.

[0026] Also, when not in use, the seat can be lowered onto the base, and then the backrest can be folded onto the seat. It can be stored in a low-volume manner.
