Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suspension device for nursing a body, and more particularly to a device for lifting a body lying on a bed in a sideways posture and turning over or changing clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various nursing bed apparatuses have been proposed for moving a patient, such as a severely disabled person or a bedridden elderly person, on a bed for changing clothes, taking a bath, taking extra steam, etc. However, the conventional bed device is large and complicated,
In addition, it is difficult to put in and out a body support means such as a hammock under the body lying on the bed, and it is difficult to perform simple work such as turning over the patient on the bed and changing clothes, especially rubbing the back against bed sores. However, it was very inconvenient to use.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide means for facilitating nursing of a patient on a bed, particularly means for facilitating turning over, rubbing the back, changing clothes and the like.

[0004]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a suspending tool 13, lifting means 6 to 11 for moving the suspending tool 13 up and down on the bed 1, and a bed connected to the suspending tool 13 are provided. A nursing suspension device is composed of a body holder 2 which is inserted into and removed from the upper side of the body 1. The holder 2 is formed from a plate-shaped body having a straight portion 2a and a bent portion 2b, and the suspension 13 is connected to the straight portion 2a.

[0005]

According to the above construction, the holder 2 can be easily set on the lower side of the body by inserting / removing the holder 2 under the body on the bed 1. Further, if the holder 2 is raised by the elevating means 6 to 11, the posture of the body can be easily changed from the sideways to the sideways, so that the person can turn over, rub his back,
It is possible to easily change clothes.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of a suspension device for body nursing, FIG.
Is a side view. Reference numeral 1 is a bed, on which the patient lies. Reference numeral 2 is a body holder. As shown in FIG. 3, the holder 2 is made of an elongated plate-like body, and is formed in a substantially L shape from a straight portion 2a and a bent portion 2b.
An engagement portion 3 is opened in a small hole shape at the tip of the straight portion 2a. In the present embodiment, the angle θ between the straight portion 2a and the bent portion 2b
Is about 90 °. The holder 2 is made of a flexible material having high strength such as a stainless steel plate or a reinforced plastic plate.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 5 is a support frame provided above the bed 1, and includes a motor 6, a shaft 7 driven by the motor 6 to rotate, a sprocket 15 and a chain 16. Two pulleys 8 connected to the shaft 7 are arranged. 9 is a pulley 8
Bearing. A wire 10 is wound around the pulley 8, and a horizontal bar 11 is attached to the lower end of the wire 10. Further, a plurality of hook-shaped suspending tools 13 (four in this embodiment) are detachably attached to the bar 11. The suspending tool 13 is the engaging part 3 of the holding tool 2.
It is detachably engaged with and joined to. When the motor 6 rotates in the reverse direction, the wire 10 is rewound and the bar 11 descends. When the motor 6 rotates in the normal direction, the wire 10 is wound up and the bar 11 rises. That is, the above-mentioned components 6 to 11 constitute the lifting means of the suspension 13.

The present apparatus has the above-mentioned configuration, and the handling operation will be described below. To lift the body, in FIG. 1, the straight portion 2a of the holder 2 is inserted below the body, and the bent portion 2b is brought into contact with the side surface of the body (see arrow N1). In this case, as shown in FIG.
Insert into the armpit, waist, thighs and shins. Next, the motor 6 is reversely rotated to lower the bar 11,
The suspension tool 13 is attached to the engagement portion 3 of each holder 2 (see the chain line in FIG. 1). Next, when the motor 6 is normally rotated to raise the bar 11, the body is rotated in the counterclockwise direction N2, and the body changes its posture from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction (see the chain line in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4).
reference).

As shown in FIG. 4, the body is supported from below by the bent portion 2b in the suspended state, and in this state, the nurse can rub the back of the body, change clothes, exchange bed sheets of the bed 1, etc. Easy to do. Of course, since the patient changed the posture from the vertical direction shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 to the horizontal direction shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, the patient could simply turn around and watch TV or have a meal. Good. If this device is incorporated into a moving device as disclosed in JP-A-3-57450 or JP-A-3-202059 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction, the body is held by the holder 2 and the bathtub is held. It can also be moved to a toilet or toilet.

When returning to the original state, the bar 6 is lowered by rotating the motor 6 in the reverse direction, and in FIG. 1, the patient can recline on the bed 1 with his back again. Then, the suspending tool 13 is removed from the engaging portion 3, and the holding tool 2 is pulled out from the lower side of the body. Next, the motor 6 is rotated in the forward direction to return the bar 11 to the solid line position shown in FIG. The suspension tool 13 is the bar 11.
It is desirable to remove the suspending tool 13 from the bar 11 when not in use because it will be annoying to the patient on the bed 1 if the suspension tool 13 is left attached to the bar 11.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, as the lifting means for the suspension 13, the motor 6 is used.
Instead of using, a manual handle may be provided and the handle may be operated to move up and down. Further, the angle θ between the straight portion 2a and the bent portion 2b can be arbitrarily set, and may be smaller than 90 °, for example, or may be U-shaped as shown in FIG.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) With the patient lying on the bed 1, the holder 2 can be easily inserted into and removed from the lower side of the body. (2) By pulling up the holder 2, the patient can easily turn over from the back to the side. Moreover, since it can be held in the sideways state as it is, it is easy to watch TV, eat, and replace the bed sheet. (3) Since the patient can be turned sideways, it is possible to easily change clothes or rub the back by inserting a hand on the back side of the body. (4) JP-A-3-57450 and JP-A-3-202
By combining with a moving device as shown in Japanese Patent No. 059, it can be used as a moving means to a bathtub, a toilet bowl or the like.
