Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a transfer device for transferring a bedridden physically disabled person from a bed to a wheelchair, bathtub, etc., and a bathtub attached to the transfer device.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, when transporting a bedridden and physically disabled person from a bed to a wheelchair or a bathtub, the person was either lifted up manually or placed on a hanger suspended from a rail installed above. Was.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention Even when using hangers suspended from the above-mentioned construction rails, the only way to transfer from the bed to the hanger is by hand, and lifting and transferring from the bed by hand requires assistance. It not only forced people with disabilities to do a lot of work, but it also had the disadvantage of causing pain for the disabled themselves.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention provides a seat mounted on a base plate that is rotatable relative to the bottom surface of the base plate and freely movable in at least one direction outside the base plate. It is characterized by being composed of a plate and a connecting plate provided at both ends with locking devices that can be freely engaged with and detached from the base plate and the transferred part, and provided with a travel guide for the seat plate on the upper surface, Furthermore, when using the transfer device,
It is characterized by comprising an air bag to be inserted under the thigh of a physically handicapped person and a push-up tool consisting of an air pump for supplying air to the air bag, and a travel guide corresponding to the travel guide of the connecting plate. The present invention is characterized in that the bathtub is provided with a running base plate provided with a running guide or a running base plate provided with the running guide.

(E) Effect First, lift the thighs of a physically disabled person who is lying on his back manually, or insert the air bag of a push-up device under his thighs as shown in Figure 7.
Inflate this with an air pump to lift the buttocks slightly off the bed. Next, between the buttocks and the bedclothes, a base plate and a seat plate are stacked one on top of the other in this order from below and are inserted with the direction in which the seat plate can freely travel outside the base plate facing the direction in which the physically handicapped person is transported. For example, when transferring to a wheelchair next to the bed, position the wheelchair next to the bed directly next to the buttocks so that the foot rest faces toward the bed, and move the wheelchair to the outside of the base plate. Insert the wheelchair with the direction facing toward the wheelchair, and if an air bag is used, remove the air and place the buttocks on the seat board. Next, a connecting plate is locked between the base plate and the part to be transferred, such as the seat of a wheelchair, using locking devices provided at both ends, and the physically disabled person is placed on the seat plate by lifting the back manually. Have them sit down. In this case, the seat plate is rotatable with respect to the base plate and can move only in at least one direction outside the base plate, so only the rotation and travel are controlled manually to support the body. If it is, the seat plate will not move and come off the base plate. Then the third
Place the seat plate at a 90° angle to the bottom of the base plate as shown.
When you turn your back to face the wheelchair, the seat board can move freely in that direction, so you can reach the seat of the wheelchair through the travel guide of the connecting board and reach the seat of the wheelchair. Complete. Then you can remove the connecting plate.

Next, when transporting a physically disabled person into a bathtub,
As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, by engaging the traveling guide of the connecting plate with the traveling guide of the bathtub itself or the traveling base plate provided in the bathtub, the body can be attached to the seat plate along the traveling guide. A person with a disability can be guided into the bathtub while still in the bathtub.

(f) Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a circular space 3 formed by an edge 2, and a rotary plate 4 is placed at the bottom of the circular space 3. The base plate is rotatably placed on four conical rollers 5 provided on the base plate 1, and a rectangular seat plate 6 is placed on the base plate 1. Engage the wheels 8 provided on the lower surface of the seat plate 6 with the provided guide grooves 7,
The edge 2 is located at a position corresponding to the guide groove 7 when the seat plate 6 is rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in FIG. 1 (see FIG. 3) by suppressing the movement of the wheel 8 by the edge 2. A notch 9 through which the wheels 8 can pass is provided in the seat plate 1 so that the seat plate 6 can run outside the base plate 1 only in one direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes a connecting plate, which is provided with locking tools 13 at both ends that can be freely engaged with and detached from the overhanging edge 11 of the base plate 1 and the transferred portion 12, and has the above-mentioned locking members 13 on the top surface at positions corresponding to the notches 9 of the base plate 1. A running guide 14 similar to the guide groove 7 of the rotating plate 4 is provided.
Next, in FIG. 7, reference numeral 15 is a push-up tool consisting of an air pump 16 and an air bag 17. Incidentally, on both sides of the seat plate 6 of this embodiment, a backrest pipe 19 is provided which can be raised freely using pins 18, and as shown in FIG.
The system is used to stabilize people with physical disabilities.

Next, in another embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a seat plate 6 having swingable wheels 21 on its lower surface is housed in a circular space 3 formed by an edge 2.
The swiveling wheels 21 are placed in contact with the edge 2 to prevent the seat plate 6 from moving outside the base plate 1, allowing the seat plate 6 to rotate freely on the base plate. The notch 9, the connecting plate 10, etc. are constructed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. Note that when the seat plate 6 is running, the wheels of the swingable wheels 21 are the running guides 14 of the connecting plate 10.
I don't shake my head when I'm guided by this.

Next, in the embodiment of the bathtub of the present invention shown in FIG. 11, the bottom of the bathtub 22 to which the connecting plate 10 is fixed is inclined, and a traveling guide 23 that engages with the traveling guide 14 of the connecting plate 10 is provided on the inclined surface. The system is designed so that physically disabled people can be placed on the seat and guided into the bathtub to take a bath.

Next, in another embodiment of the bathtub of the present invention shown in FIG. 12, traveling guides 23 that engage with the traveling guides 14 of the connecting plate 10 are provided at both upper edges of the bathtub 22 to which the connecting plate 10 is locked. The handicapped person placed on the seat plate is guided onto the bathtub by the traveling base plate 24, and warm water is poured over the bathtub for washing. Note that splashing water can be prevented by using a vinyl sheet or the like.

Further, in another embodiment of the bathtub of the present invention shown in FIG. 13, only one end of the running base plate 24 is locked to the upper edge of the bathtub, and the other end is inclined to guide the hot water to the bottom of the bathtub. I try to make sure my body is fully immersed in it.

Furthermore, in another embodiment of the bathtub of the present invention shown in FIG. A traveling base plate 24 and a connecting plate 1 are provided.
0, and the base 26 is lowered to take a bath.

(g) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the transfer device or the bathtub of the present invention, from the perspective of the caregiver, the caregiver can easily transfer the body by himself or herself without having to do the hard work of lifting and transferring the body.
Moreover, the traveling guide provided on the connecting plate or the traveling platform allows the physically disabled person to be transported safely, and from the viewpoint of the disabled person, it is very easy to transport the person while riding on the seat board. It is possible to move in a stable posture without causing pain, and when an air bag is used, the body is gradually lifted up, making it even more comfortable.Moreover, the structure is extremely simple and can be manufactured at low cost. It is something that you have.
