Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

【0001】

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a nursing mat and its sheets that are used, for example, in a hospital or home to care for bedridden sick or injured people.

【0002】

[Prior Art] Beds for inpatients used in hospitals have conventionally been constructed so that, for example, a bed is placed on a mat and a sheet roughly corresponding to the size of the bed is spread, and the patient sleeps on the bed. ing.

【0003】

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, with such conventional bed sheets, even if the sheets become damp or wet due to the patient's perspiration, even if the sheets are relatively lightly soiled, it is necessary to replace the sheets with new ones each time. must be replaced. For this reason, a large amount of sheets must be prepared, and sheets that are replaced must be washed, sterilized, etc. each time, resulting in increased costs. Additionally, changing sheets was extremely troublesome for nurses. In particular, in the case of a bedridden or critically ill patient, a nurse should pick up the patient and move him or her to another bed, or one nurse should hold the patient and another should change the sheets. This placed an extremely heavy burden on nurses.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention eliminates the need to change sheets every time they become dirty, thereby reducing costs and the burden on nurses, and making it easier to move patients on the mat. To provide a nursing mat suitable for patients who are prone to wrinkles due to the fact that the sheets do not crease easily when spread, and to provide sheets used in this mat.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the nursing mat of the present invention is provided with a nursing mat main body having a smooth surface and a width corresponding to the width dimension of the nursing mat main body. A sheet having a first portion set in the width direction, and a second portion extending a predetermined length in the width direction from one side of the first portion, and A first joining member is attached to each of the ends, and each end of the first part of the sheet and a second part are joined to predetermined positions so as to be able to move toward and away from the first joining member. Second
A connecting member is attached. The first part and the second part of the sheet are selectively placed on the surface of the nursing mat main body by joining the first joining member and the second joining member. It is something.

[0006] On the other hand, the sheet of the present invention includes a first portion whose width is set corresponding to the width dimension of the nursing mat main body, and a predetermined length extending from one side of the first portion in the width direction. and a first joining member attached to both ends of the nursing mat main body in the width direction at both ends of the first part and at predetermined positions of the second part. A second joining member is attached to each member so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the member. Then, on the surface of the nursing mat main body, the first part and the second part are connected to the first joining member and the second part.
It is designed to be selectively installed by joining with the joining member.

【0007】

[Function] As a result, according to the present invention, when the sheets become damp or wet due to patient sweating, for example, the second part of the sheet can be pulled out instead of the first part and placed over the nursing mat main body. By setting up the system, it is possible to respond immediately without having to warp or replace the sheets. Further, since the first part dries while the second part is in use, if the second part also becomes wet, it can be returned to the first part. Therefore, it is more economical than changing the sheets each time the patient sweats.

[0008] In addition, since the nursing mat main body is configured to have a smooth surface, it is easy to replace the sheet from the first part to the second part or from the second part to the first part. This can be done by sliding the bed sheet while the patient is placed on the nursing mat, so there is no need for the nurse to hold the patient each time, and this can be done extremely easily and quickly. Therefore, the burden on nurses can be significantly reduced and nursing efficiency can be improved. In addition, as mentioned above, it is possible to slide a patient from the center of the bed to the edge of the bed by simply pulling the sheets while the patient is still on the bed, so for example, you can pick up a bedridden patient and transfer him or her to a stretcher, wheelchair, etc. In such cases, a nurse can comfortably hold a patient without taking an unreasonable posture. Also,
On the other hand, when transferring the patient onto a bed, the patient can be transferred easily.

[0009] Furthermore, since the sheets can be placed on the nursing mat in a taut state by joining the joining members, it is possible to make the sheets less likely to wrinkle, which makes it easy to use the sheets as described above. Coupled with the fact that it can always be kept in a dry and clean condition, it is possible to prevent, for example, acne that tends to occur in bedridden patients.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing the structure of a mat body and a sheet of a nursing mat in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0011] The nursing mat main body 1 is a mat base made of urethane or the like having appropriate hardness and elasticity and covered with a surface fabric, and the surface fabric is made of, for example, cotton canvas treated with water-repellent and waterproof treatment. be done. Through this treatment, the surface of the nursing mat main body 1 becomes waterproof, and the sheet described later becomes easily slippery. Further, magic tape (registered trademark) 2 is attached to each side of the nursing mat main body 1 as a joining member.

[0012] On the other hand, the sheet 3 is made of a fabric material with excellent water absorption such as cotton cloth, and the length in the vertical direction is set to approximately correspond to the vertical dimension A of the nursing mat main body 1, and the length in the horizontal direction is set to approximately correspond to the vertical dimension A of the nursing mat main body 1. is set to be a little more than twice the width dimension B of the nursing mat main body 1.
In other words, this sheet 3 has a space for two sheets in its lateral direction. Further, magic tape 4 as a joining member is attached to both ends of the sheet 3 in the horizontal direction, and magic tape 4 as a joining member is also attached to the center position of both ends in the vertical direction. These magic tape 4,
5 is attached to the magic tape 2 attached to the nursing mat main body 1 so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from it.

[0013] Furthermore, when the length of the magic tape 4 is A, and the protrusion length of the magic tape 5 is C,
The length of the magic tape 2 attached to the nursing mat main body 1 is set to be A+2C.

[0014] Now, the sheet 3 configured in this way
When attaching the sheets to the nursing mat main body 1, first, the magic tapes 4 attached to both ends of the sheet 3 are adhered to the magic tapes 2 provided on both sides of the nursing mat main body 1, respectively. Then, pull the sheet 3 loose on the nursing mat main body 1 to one end, and attach the magic tape 5 attached to the center of the sheet 3 to the magic tape 2 on one side of the nursing mat main body 1. wear. Incidentally, the excess portion of the sheet 3 is rolled up and hung on the side of the bed, or is sandwiched between the nursing mat main body 1 and the mat of the bed (not shown). In this way, the sheet 3 is placed in a state as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

[0015] Here, the distance between the magic tape 4 at the end of the sheet 3 and the magic tape at the center is set in accordance with the width dimension B of the nursing mat main body 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. . For this reason,
When the sheet 3 is placed on the nursing mat main body 1, it is fully stretched without wrinkles. Therefore, even if the patient turns over or bends and stretches his/her legs, the sheets are unlikely to wrinkle.

[0016] On the other hand, in this state, if it becomes necessary to change the sheets due to the patient's sweating or the like, or if the patient is to be moved from the bed to a stretcher, wheelchair, etc., the following procedure is performed. That is, peel off the magic tape at the center of the sheet 3 attached to the magic tape 4 of the nursing mat main body 1, and in this state, as shown by arrow P in FIG. attract to. At this time, since the surface fabric of the nursing mat main body 1 is formed of a slippery canvas as described above, the above-mentioned pulling operation can be performed relatively easily without requiring a large force. When transferring the patient to a stretcher or wheelchair,
After pulling the patient close to the side edge of the bed,
Just pick it up and move it. In this operation, since the patient is on the side edge of the bed, it is easier to lift the patient than when lifting the patient from the center of the bed.

[0017] In addition, when changing the sheet 3, pull only the sheet 3 toward you with the patient on the bed, thereby pulling out the unused portion of the sheet 3 onto the nursing mat main body 1. . and,
The magic tape 5 in the center of the sheet 3 is attached to the magic tape 2 provided on one side of the front side of the nursing mat main body 1. Incidentally, the used portion of the sheet 3 is rolled up and hung on the side of the bed, or is sandwiched between the nursing mat main body 1 and the mat of the bed. Thus, the sheet 3 is, for example, as shown in FIG.
It is installed in the condition shown in .

[0018] Furthermore, the used part of the sheet 3 is
If it is damp or wet due to sweating, etc., it can be hung on the side of the bed to dry and be reusable. Therefore, when it becomes necessary to replace the sheet 3 again, the dried portion can be reused by covering it again as shown in FIG.

[0019] As described above, in this embodiment, the surface fabric of the nursing mat main body is formed of a slippery canvas, and the width of the sheet 3 is set to the nursing mat main body 1.
By setting the length to a little more than twice the width dimension of the nursing mat to have an area for two sheets, and using these areas by selectively covering the nursing mat main body 1, When the sheets become damp or wet due to the patient's sweating, etc., the sheets 3 can be replaced by sliding only the sheets on the nursing mat main body 1 with the patient on them and changing the area. Therefore, there is no need to warp and change the sheets every time the patient sweats, thereby increasing economic efficiency.

[0020] In addition, the replacement of the above sheet area is
As described above, this can be done by sliding the bed sheet while the patient is placed on the nursing mat main body 1, so the nurse does not have to hold the patient each time, and it can be done extremely easily and quickly. Therefore, the burden on nurses can be significantly reduced and nursing efficiency can be increased. Furthermore, by simply pulling the sheet while the patient is placed on the nursing mat main body 1, the patient can be slid from the center of the bed to the edge of the bed. When transferring a patient to a hospital, a nurse can comfortably hold the patient without taking an unreasonable posture. Conversely, it is also possible to easily transfer a patient from a stretcher, wheelchair, etc. to a bed.

[0021] Furthermore, since the sheet 3 is placed on the nursing mat main body 1 using the Velcro tapes 2, 4, and 5, the sheet 3 can be placed in a taut state at all times, and the patient's The sheet 3 can be made less likely to wrinkle due to turning over, bending and stretching the legs, etc. Therefore, along with being able to keep the sheet 3 always dry and clean,
For example, it becomes possible to prevent pressure ulcers that tend to occur in bedridden patients.

[0022] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the length of the sheet in the width direction is not only twice the width dimension B of the nursing mat main body 1 but also three times the width dimension B of the nursing mat main body 1.
It may be set to twice or four times or more. That is, the width of the sheet can be set to an integral multiple of the width B of the nursing mat main body 1. If you do it like this, 1
Although the length of each sheet becomes longer, one sheet can be replaced three or more times.

[0023] Further, the length of the sheet may be set to about 1/2 of the width dimension B of the nursing mat main body 1. In this case, it is impossible to replace the entire sheet on the nursing mat body, but it can be used satisfactorily by slightly shifting the patient's position. Furthermore, if the purpose is to move the patient to the edge of the bed in order to hold the patient, it is sufficient to set the width of the sheet to about 1/2 of the width of the nursing mat main body.

[0024] Furthermore, a handle 6 may be provided at the end of the sheet 3 as shown in FIG. 6, for example. In this way, even if the patient's weight is heavy, the sheet 3 can be pulled relatively easily.

[0025] In addition, regarding the material of the surface fabric of the nursing mat main body, the surface treatment means, the material, shape and dimensions of the sheets, the type and installation position of the joining members, etc.
Various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0026]

[Effects of the invention] As detailed above, the invention has the following effects:
A nursing mat main body having a smooth surface is prepared, and a first part whose width is set corresponding to the width dimension of the nursing mat main body, and a width direction of the first part from one side of the first part are prepared. A sheet having a second portion extending a predetermined length is prepared, and a first sheet is provided at both ends in the width direction of the nursing mat main body.
At the same time, second joining members are attached to both ends of the first part of the sheet and at predetermined positions of the second part, respectively, and the second joining members are joined to the first joining member so as to be able to move toward and away from the first joining member. It is installed. The first part and the second part of the sheet are selectively placed on the surface of the nursing mat main body by joining the first joining member and the second joining member. It is something.

[0027] Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the sheets become dirty, there is no need to change them each time, thereby saving costs and reducing the burden on nurses, and also reducing the movement of patients on the mat. To provide a nursing mat which can be easily used, and which prevents wrinkles from forming when the bed sheet is spread, thereby preventing pressure sores in bedridden patients, and a sheet used with this nursing mat.
