Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bathing assistance device used for helping a physically handicapped person in a general household to bathe, especially a warm bath.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as this type of bathing assistance device, a device in which a sheet-shaped belt is wound is known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, there is a problem that the publicly known ones have a cramped posture in a small bathtub of a general household and that the bather must hold the bather on the assistance device.

The object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive bathing assistance device that is easy to use in a small bathtub of a general household, makes the posture of the bather easier, reduces the burden on the caregiver, and is inexpensive.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In this invention, the rotation fulcrum of the inner frame is lowered downward from the outer frame plane, the frames of both side frames are formed into a V shape, the rotating plate is mounted on the inner frame, and the other end of the inner frame and the fixed plate of the outer frame are attached. This is achieved by using a bathing assistance device in which a pantograph jack is installed under the sheet belt stretched over.

A rotatable rotating plate can be used for the seat portion of the inner frame.

The vertical movement means of the inner frame is achieved by rotating a handle of a cylindrical roller attached below the sheet belt and a pantograph jack provided below the cylindrical roller.

[0008]

[Work]

 In the bathing assistance device of this invention, a rectangular outer frame is placed on the bathtub, and the waist of the inner frame is set parallel to the outer frame with the jack raised to the maximum height. To get in and out of the bathtub, a caregiver should put a person with a disability on a rotating plate and lift their feet over the bathtub wall while sliding their body toward the seating plate or rotating the rotating plate. After changing to the inside of the bathtub through, rotate the jack handle and lower it to the minimum height. At this time, since the rotation fulcrum of the inner frame is provided below the plane of the outer frame, the circular arc becomes gentle. When the hot bath is over, raise the jack to the maximum height and lift your legs to turn your body to the outside of the bath.

[0009]

【Example】

 The drawing shows an embodiment of the bathing assistance device of the present invention.

In the embodiment, the device outer frame 11 and the inner frame 13 are made of pipes, the frames of both side frames of the inner frame are bent in a dogleg shape, and the inner frame rotation fulcrum 15 is formed from the outer frame to the column 14. It is located below.

A pantograph jack 19 is fixed on a fixing plate 16 fixed to the other end of the outer frame, and a cylindrical roller 17 is provided on the head of the pantograph jack 19. The other end of the inner frame and the fixing plate are seated via a cylindrical roller. The belt 18 is stretched.

A rotatable rotating plate 20 is provided on the seat of the inner frame.

This bathing assistance device is fixed on the bathtub 12, and a physically handicapped person is seated on the rotating plate. Lift your foot, rotate it, and put it inside the bathtub. Turn the jack handle to lower the seat with the rotating plate toward the bottom of the bath to put it in a warm bath. When taking out from the bathtub, the operation order may be reversed.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

 As is clear from the above description, the bathing assistance device of the present invention makes it possible for the bather to take a warm bath in a comfortable posture by making the frames on both sides of the inner frame into a V shape, and by rotating the rotating plate. It makes it easier for bathers to move in and out of the bathtub, and makes it easier to move in and out of the bathtub. Since it is installed, there is an effect that the lift can be doubled by using a small and lightweight jack.
