Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a bed for use in hospitals and the like.

(Prior art) For example, in a hospital, when trying to protect the privacy of patients hospitalized in rooms other than private rooms,
Conventionally, an independent screen has been installed between the bed and the bed of another patient.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Independent screens require a large space for storage when not in use, and are troublesome to prepare before use and clean up after use.

The present invention aims to solve the above problems.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a screen is supported at the head side corner of the bed so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis.

(Function) If the screen is rotated and positioned in the longitudinal direction of the bed, this screen will hide the upper part of the head side of the bed, and the head side of the patient etc. will not be visible from the outside and will be in use.

If you are not using the screen, rotate it and
If it is placed along the wall of the room corresponding to the head side of the bed, the lateral space on the head side of the bed will be opened and the bed will be in the retracted state.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 corresponds to the first embodiment of the bed of the present invention. In this embodiment, a pair of left and right screens 2 are attached to the side edges of both sides of the headboard 3, and pivot support parts 9 such as hinges are attached to the side edges of the headboard 3. These screens 2 are therefore supported at the head-side corner of the bed 1 so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis. In addition, the lower edges of these screens 2 are located above the floor surface of the hospital room, etc., and these lower edges are installed on the floor support frame 4 in a state where they are positioned in the longitudinal direction of the floor support frame 4. It is configured such that it is engaged with the fixing means 6 and is supported in a non-rotatable manner. The fixing means 6 is configured to be vertically movable and configured as a hook-shaped member biased upward by a spring (not shown).

In the above configuration, each screen 2 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 1a to the state shown by the imaginary line or the state shown in FIG. In this state, the screen 2 will hide the upper part of the head of the bed 1, making it impossible to see the patient's head from the outside, protecting privacy, and allowing the patient to enjoy the atmosphere of a private room. It becomes like this. Next, each screen 2 is rotated in the opposite direction to that described above, and the state shown in FIG. 1b is changed to the state shown in FIG. 7, the lateral space on the head side of the bed 1 is opened, and it does not interfere with getting on and off the patient or getting a medical examination.
It will be in the stored state.

Next, FIG. 2 corresponds to a second embodiment of the bed 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, a pair of left and right screens 2 are provided at both side edges of a headboard 3, similar to the configuration shown in FIG. It is constructed by connecting the edges with a pivoting support part 9 such as a hinge, and its lower side extends to the vicinity of the floor of the hospital room, and is provided with wheels 5 that run on the floor. In such a configuration, the wheels 5 bear a portion of the load applied to the screen, especially the load applied from above, thereby increasing its strength.

Next, FIG. 3 corresponds to a third embodiment of the bed 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the pair of left and right screens 2 are not made of plates, but are made of a frame 10 with cloth 11 stretched over them. It consists of Further, the screen 2 is rotatably fixed to a column 8 vertically erected at the head-side corner of the floor support frame 4, thereby supporting the screen 2 so as to be rotatable around a vertical axis. With such a configuration, the screen 2 can be made lightweight.

Next, FIG. 4 corresponds to a fourth embodiment of the bed 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the screen 2 is made up of a plurality of members connected by hinges or the like so that they can be folded by bending around a vertical axis. It is composed of members u1 and u2, and as in the second embodiment, their lower sides extend close to the floor of a hospital room or the like, and the member u2 is provided with wheels 5 that run on the floor. Then, one member u1 is connected to the side edges on both sides of the headboard 3 by pivot support parts 9 such as hinges, as in the first and second embodiments described above, and supported so as to be pivotable around a vertical axis. are doing. In such a configuration, the head side of the bed 1 can be widely surrounded, and furthermore, operation in a narrow space is facilitated.

In the above embodiment, the screen 2 is the bed 1.
However, if one side of the bed 1 is on the wall side of the hospital room, it is not necessary to provide the screen 2 on this one side.
In addition, the means for fixing the screen 2 so that it cannot rotate at a suitable position for turning is, in addition to providing the above-mentioned fixing means 6, by increasing the force required for turning to a certain extent or more so that it remains stationary at a suitable position for turning. You can also do it like this.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention supports the screen at the head side corner of the bed so that it can rotate around a vertical axis, so it can be rotated as necessary to surround the head side, thereby providing privacy. In addition, patients can enjoy the atmosphere of a private room, and when the screen is not in use or if it becomes a nuisance, it can be easily rotated so that it is aligned with the wall of the room at the head of the bed. This has the effect that it can be put into a stored state. Furthermore, as mentioned above, since the screen is supported so that it can be rotated around a vertical axis, the upper edge of the screen can be constructed with sufficient height as required, and it can also be used to store stool lockers, etc. This has the effect of not interfering with the effective use of the space below the floor support frame.
