2. Description of the Related Art Some wheelchair users (hereinafter referred to as "patients") are often injured in a car accident.
Some people are unable to maintain their position on a wheelchair. In such a case, the caregiver not only moves the wheelchair,
Great care must be taken to prevent the patient from slipping out of the wheelchair. In order to reduce the burden on the caregiver and the safety of the patient himself / herself, a fixing belt for fixing the patient to the backrest of the wheelchair is commercially available.

[0003]

However, in all of the conventionally known fixing belts, the attachment / detachment mechanism is complicated and the attachment / detachment is complicated. On the contrary, if the fixing belt has a simple structure, it may be accidentally disengaged. There was a drawback. In addition, since most wheelchairs generally have a folding structure, there is a problem that the seat surface is easily deformed into a sheet, the sitting comfort is unstable, and it is difficult to secure the posture.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has a simple structure and a very easy attachment / detachment work, which can be surely attached and does not accidentally come off. The object of the present invention is to provide a cushion which can further stabilize the posture of the patient and has a good sitting comfort by using it together with this fixing band.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the cushion for a wheelchair and the fixing belt of the present invention, the upper end of the vertical belt is fixed to the central portion of the horizontal belt at both ends of the horizontal belt. An attaching / detaching means for connecting these to each other was provided, and the lower end of the vertical belt of the belt was attached to a cushion member having a non-slip member on the bottom surface.

In this case, the attaching / detaching means at both ends of the lateral belt of the belt forms a forked portion at one end of the lateral belt, and attaches one of the velvet type fasteners to the inner surface of the forked portion facing the forked portion. The other side of the velvet type fastener may be attached to both surfaces of the other end of the.

The belt has a plurality of vertical bands,
It is desirable that the cushion member and the lower end portion of the vertical band of the belt be detachably attached.

A deformation preventing plate may be provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member, and in this case, the deformation preventing plate may be inserted into a bag portion provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member.

[0009]

In the cushion and the fixed belt of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, the cushion member is placed on the seating surface of the wheelchair, the vertical belt of the belt is laid on the upper surface of the cushion member, and the rising portion of the vertical belt is fixed. Sit the patient between the groins. Then, by putting the center of the belt on the patient's chest and connecting both ends of the belt with the backside of the wheelchair back, the belt's longitudinal belt moves forward because the patient receives the weight of the patient. If this is attempted, this will be blocked in the crotch, and the entire belt will act to fix the position of the patient's upper body. At this time, the cushion member is prevented from being displaced by the non-slip member provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member.

Further, when the belt has a plurality of vertical belts, the belts are crossed in a cross shape or fixed to the lateral belts at appropriate intervals, thereby increasing the weight load between the groins. It can be dispersed to the thigh side to reduce the load between the groins as much as possible.

Further, in the belt in which the fork portion is formed at one end of the lateral belt and the attaching / detaching means is constituted by the velvet type fastener, the other end of the lateral belt is clamped at the forked portion for connection. Therefore, the fixing is securely performed without being easily disengaged even when the detachable portion is touched by vibration during use or carelessness.

Further, in the case where the cushion member and the lower end of the vertical belt of the belt are detachably attached, each can be used individually.

If the deformation preventing plate is provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member, the deformation of the cushion member is prevented and the posture of the patient becomes more stable, and the deformation preventing plate is provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member. If the cushion member can be inserted into and removed from the portion, the cushion member can be easily washed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a wheelchair cushion and a fixing band according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wheelchair cushion and a fixing band, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of a cushion member. As shown in the figure, the wheelchair cushion and the fixed band are composed of a T-shaped belt 10 having a vertical band whose upper end is fixed to a central portion of a horizontal band and a cushion member 20 as a fixed band.

First, the T-shaped belt 10 will be described. A forked portion 11 is provided on one of the horizontal end portions of the T-shaped belt 10.
One of the velvet type fasteners 12 is sewn on each of the opposing inner surfaces (one surface omitted) of the bifurcated portion 11. Further, the other end of the horizontal end portion 13 of the T-shaped belt 10 is sewn on the other surface (one surface thereof is omitted) of the velvet type fastener 14, which is attached to one of the velvet type fasteners 12 of the bifurcated portion 11. The two horizontal ends are sandwiched and connected to each other. On the other hand, one end of the vertical portion 15 of the T-shaped belt 10 is also sewn to the end of the velvet type fastener (not shown), and the other end of the velvet type fastener sewn to the rear end of the bottom surface of the cushion member 20 ( It is adapted to be detachably coupled with a not-shown one).

Next, the cushion member 20 is made of a cloth made in accordance with the size of the seating surface of the wheelchair, and as shown in FIG. The filling material 21 is a spherical or other small particle made of a water-repellent plastic material, such as styrofoam.
It is a commercially available filler for pillows and cushions. Further, the inside of the cushion member 20 is divided into a plurality of partition walls 22 so that the filling material 21 is not biased inside.

On the bottom surface of the cushion member 20, a non-slip member 23 is sewn and a bag portion 24 is formed. Here, the non-slip member 23 is a net-shaped rubber mat, and is for preventing the cushion member 20 from sliding on the seating surface of the wheelchair. In addition, a deformation prevention plate 25 made of hard cardboard or a slightly flexible hard synthetic resin plate is inserted into the bag portion 24.

Next, a method of using the wheelchair cushion and the fixing belt of this embodiment will be described. First, the cushion member 20 is placed on the seat surface of the wheelchair. At this time, T-shaped belt 1
In the case of 0, the vertical portion 15 is hung on the front side so as to crawl on the upper surface of the cushion member 20. Next, the patient is seated on the cushion member 20 so as to straddle the vertical portion of the T-shaped belt 10. Next, the vertical portion of the T-shaped belt 10 is pulled out together with the horizontal portion from the patient's crotch, the center of the horizontal portion is applied to the patient's chest, and the forked portions 11 and the horizontal end portions 13 at both ends of the horizontal portion are provided on the back side of the back of the wheelchair. Bind to each other. As described above, the upper body of the patient is fixed.

In the above embodiment, a T-shaped belt having a single vertical belt is shown as the fixed belt, but a plurality of these belts are used to disperse the crotch load due to the weight in the thigh direction. You may do it.

[0020]

As described above, according to the cushion for a wheelchair and the fixing belt of the present invention, the patient is seated on the vertical belt of the cushion and the belt, and the crotch of the patient is held by the vertical belt and the horizontal belt of the fixing belt. Since the upper body is supported and fixed, it is possible to stably support the patient's posture, avoid the risk of the patient sliding down from the wheelchair together with the cushion, and also the lateral strip of the fixing strip. By forming a bifurcated part at one end and attaching one of the velvet type fasteners to the opposing inner surface to form the attaching / detaching means, the other end of the horizontal band to which the other of the velvet type fastener is attached is pinched at the bifurcated part. Since the connection is performed, mutual separation can be prevented even when the body is in use and vibration or inadvertent contact with the connection part can be prevented, and it can be securely fixed, and the attachment and detachment work is also very easy It made.

When the belt has a plurality of vertical strips, if the belts are crossed in a cross shape or fixed to the horizontal strips at appropriate intervals, the weight load between the groins is increased. It can be dispersed to the thigh side to reduce the load between the groins as much as possible.

If the cushion member and the fixing band are detachably attached, it is possible to prevent the uneconomical situation of destroying the other one when the other one is damaged and washing the cushion alone or the fixing band alone. The vertical band of the belt, which is located on the upper surface of the cushion member, bears the weight of the patient. Therefore, the T-shaped belt may come off from the cushion member during use even if both are detachable. It's safe because it doesn't exist.

If the bottom surface of the cushion member is provided with a deformation preventing plate, the cushion member is prevented from being deformed, the posture of the patient can be more stabilized, and the sitting comfort can be improved.

If the deformation prevention plate is inserted into and removed from the bag portion provided on the bottom surface of the cushion member, the deformation prevention plate can be removed and the cushion can be washed.
