Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathing assisting device for a disabled person after laryngeal cancer surgery to safely take a bath so that water does not enter through a ventilation hole at the throat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a surgeon having a laryngeal cancer has a hole for ventilation in the throat after the operation, and therefore, if water enters from the hole, there is a risk of letting the person take a bath. Be very careful and always stay in the chest.
It was more difficult and inconvenient not only to bathe to the shoulder but also to wash the body and hair. Moreover, there was no brace to help with these inconveniences.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

(B) People with disabilities after laryngeal cancer surgery were unable to bathe up to the shoulders because of the risk of water entering the ventilation holes in the throat during bathing. (B) When washing the body, it is necessary to pay particular attention to water entering the vent holes around the shoulders and neck. (C) When washing hair, it was very inconvenient to lower the head to prevent water from entering the throat. (D) In winter, I could not feel relieved to take a bath in the winter with my chest raised, and I had a desire to relax in my shoulder because I only need to take it once. In particular, Japanese people tend to relax by soaking in the bathtub, so taking a bath with their shoulders out was a pain rather than a relief. The present invention has been made to solve the above risks, inconveniences, and desires.

[0004]

When the present invention is used, the water absorbing material (7) is attached to the back surface of the brace body (1), covered with the ventilation hole at the throat, and attached with the bandage plaster (8). Next, the detachable flexible aeration pipe (2) was joined to the water leakage tank (3), the basket (4), the fixed kato aeration pipe (5) and the aeration tower (6) to form an integral unit.
The attachment of the brace to the human body is completed by joining it to the lower part of the ventilation pipe (1a) of the main body by the detachable joint portion (2a) of the detachable flexible ventilator. If you take a bath while wearing it as described above, you can safely soak your shoulders in hot water without any water entering the vent holes at the throat. When washing the body, if the detachable joint (2a) of the removable flexible ventilation tube is removed from the body, the brace can be attached only to the body, and the body and hair can be washed as usual. .

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below. A removable flexible ventilation pipe (2) is provided at the bottom of the ventilation pipe (1a) of the appliance body (1), a water leakage tank (3) is provided at the end of the removable flexible ventilation pipe, and a weight is provided at the bottom of the leakage tank. A basket (4) is provided, a fixed flexible ventilation pipe (5) is provided above the water leakage tank, a ventilation tower (6) is provided at the upper end of the fixed flexible ventilation pipe, and a water absorbing material (7) is provided on the back surface of the main body (1). ) Is provided, and a band plaster (8) is provided on the surface of the main body (1). The present invention has the above configuration. When the present invention is used, a water absorbing material (7) is attached around the back ventilation pipe of the main body (1), covered with a ventilation hole at the throat, and attached with a band plaster (8). Next, the internal ventilation pipe (6
a) a ventilation tower (6) consisting of an external ventilation pipe (6b) and a waterproof cover (6c) with a ventilation port (6d), a flexible ventilation pipe (5), and a leak tank equipped with a basket (4) (3) is adhesively joined to form an integral type, and then the detachable flexible ventilation pipe (2) is joined to the water leak tank (3) that is integrated with the main body (1) to complete the attachment of the brace to the human body. To do. When bathing with the equipment attached as described above, the integrated leak tank (3) sinks into the water due to the weight of the basket (4) containing the weight, and the aeration tower (6) rises to the surface of the water. Since you can keep your body vertical while floating and you can breathe as usual without getting water into the brace, you can enjoy bathing with confidence not only in the shoulder but also in the neck as well. Also, when washing the body in the washing room, if the detachable joint part (2a) of the detachable flexible ventilation pipe (2) is removed, only the main body (1) can be attached to the throat, and other appliances do not interfere. ， Body and hair can be washed as well as healthy people. As another method of mounting, the equipment after the integrated water leakage tank (3) is removed, only the main body (1) and the removable flexible ventilation pipe (2) are installed, and the removable flexible ventilation pipe ( The detachable joint portion (2b) of 2) can be bathed by tying it to the head with a rubber band or the like. The detachable joints (2a) and (2b) of the detachable flexible ventilation pipe (2) are of the one-touch detachable type, but may be of the screw detachable type. FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the entire orthosis is joined and attached to the human body.
