Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a care curtain used in, for example, a special nursing home for accommodating a patient such as a demented elderly person, and in particular, can protect the privacy of the patient. , Good things to use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a special nursing home,
Multiple patients each lying on a care bed,
Moreover, a plurality of patients are in the same room. In such a situation, when giving care to each patient such as changing clothes,
In order to protect the privacy of the patient, it is necessary to provide some cover so that it cannot be seen by other patients. Usually, in such a case, the curtain is hung from the ceiling, and if necessary, the curtain is pulled out to cover the patient.

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional structure has the following problems. That is, as described above, in the case of the conventional curtain structure, the curtain is always hung. For example, when the patient is a demented elderly person, the hung curtain is misused. Sometimes it was removed by pulling on. In addition to being removed, it may be soiled or may be torn and damaged.

The present invention has been made on the basis of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to prevent the curtain from being soiled or damaged by the mischief of the patient and to protect the privacy of the patient. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a curtain for nursing care that can reliably achieve the above.

A curtain that shields the side of the care bed by being housed in the case so that it can be retracted and pulled out, a handle attached to the end of the curtain, and a side of the care bed that is the foot side or the head side. And a locking metal fitting that is attached to the side and holds the curtain in a pulled-out state by hooking the handle. At that time, it is conceivable that the curtain is always biased by the elastic member in the direction to be stored in the case so as to be pulled out against the biasing force of the elastic member. Further, it is conceivable that the rear end of the curtain is connected to a roll body provided in the case and the roll body is always urged to rotate in the curtain storage direction by an elastic member.
Further, it is possible to attach a mechanism to the roll body, which selectively stops the rotational biasing of the roll body by the elastic member.
Further, it is considered that an opening is provided in the case and the curtain is projected and retracted through this opening. At that time, when the curtain is stored in the case through the opening, it is attached to the tip of the curtain. It is conceivable that the handle can also be stored. In addition, skirt members are attached to the left and right at the opening to prevent foreign matter from entering the case by these skirt members, and when the entire curtain including the handle is stored in the case, the handle will come from the outside of the case. It is conceivable to shield it so that it cannot be seen.

[0006]

That is, in the conventional case, for example, the curtain is hung from the ceiling and the curtain is pulled out to shield the patient. On the contrary,
In the case of the present invention, the care curtain, which is composed of the case, the curtain, and the handle, is configured as a unit and is attached to the care bed. Then, at the time of use, the curtain is pulled out from the case, and the handle is fixed by hooking it on the locking metal fitting. When not in use, the curtain is stored in the case. With this configuration, it is possible to eliminate the situation where the curtain is always hung even when it is not used. In other words, it can be stored in the case when it is not used, which can prevent the curtain from being soiled or damaged due to mischief of the patient. Further, when the curtain is always urged by the elastic member in the direction of being stored in the case so as to be pulled out against the urging force of the elastic member, the curtain is in a tensioned state at the time of use. Therefore, the function as a curtain becomes more reliable.
Further, as a structure for urging the curtain by an elastic member, for example, the rear end of the curtain is connected to a roll body provided in the case, and the roll member is constantly urged to rotate in the curtain storing direction by the elastic member. It is possible.
Further, it is conceivable to attach a mechanism to the roll body to selectively stop the rotational biasing of the roll body by the elastic member. In this case, the curtain can be fixed at an arbitrary drawing position. Further, an opening is provided in the case, and the curtain is projected and retracted through this opening. At that time, when the curtain is stored in the case through the opening, the handle attached to the tip of the curtain is also stored. It is conceivable that the curtain can be stored in the case as well as the curtain in the case where the patient is a demented elderly person.
It is possible to prevent the curtain from being pulled out by mischief. In addition, skirt members are attached to the left and right at the opening to prevent foreign matter from entering the case by these skirt members, and when the entire curtain including the handle is stored in the case, the handle will not come from the outside of the case. It is conceivable that the case is shielded so that it cannot be seen. In the case of such a configuration, the inside of the case is shielded and cannot be seen in the stored state, so that mischief can be prevented more effectively.

The caster 7 is attached to the lower end of the. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the patient 9 lies on the care bed 1.

At the front end of the care bed 1 (on the side where the head of the patient 9 is located), the care curtain 1 according to this embodiment is provided.
1 is attached. The care curtain 11 includes a case 13, a curtain 15 housed in the case 13 so that the curtain 15 can be retracted, and a support portion 16 that is mounted in the case 13 to support the curtain 15 so that the curtain 15 can be retracted. There is. The case 13 is composed of a bottom case 13a located on the side of the care bed 1 and an upper case 13b attached to the bottom case 13a and having a circular cross section. An opening 17 is formed between the bottom case 13a and the upper case 13b, and the curtain 15 appears and disappears through the opening 17. A fixing metal fitting 19 is attached to the bottom case 13a, and the care curtain 11 is attached / fixed to the care bed 1 via the fixing metal fitting 19.

The curtain 15 is at least pulled out and the patient 9 lying on the care bed 1 is pulled out.
The width is set so that it cannot be seen from the side.
A handle 21 is attached to the tip of the curtain 15. When pulling out the curtain 15 stored in the case 13, the handle 21 is grasped and pulled out. Further, the handle 21 also functions as a locking tool for holding the pulled-out curtain 15 in that state. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking fitting 23 is attached to the care bed 1 on the side opposite to the side on which the care curtain 11 is attached. The locking metal fitting 23 is composed of a mounting metal fitting 23a and a locking hook 23b mounted on the mounting metal fitting 23a. This locking metal fitting 23
By hooking the handle 21 on the locking hook 23b, the curtain 15 is held in a pulled-out state.

At the position of the opening 17 of the case 13, skirt members 25 and 27 are attached on both left and right sides. These skirt members 25 and 27 are used for the curtain 1.
It is made of a material having flexibility so that it can be easily deformed with the appearance and disappearance of 5. The skirt members 25 and 27 prevent foreign matter from entering the case 13, and have an important meaning apart from that. That is, when the curtain 15 is stored, the entire curtain 15, including the handle 21 attached to the tip, is stored in the case 13. Then, in such a state, the handle 21 is also invisible due to the skirt members 25 and 27. With such a configuration, the patient, such as a demented elderly person, is prevented from pulling out the curtain 15 by mischief.

Next, the curtain 15 in the case 13
The configuration of the support portion 16 that supports the studs so that they can appear and disappear will be described with reference to FIG. First, there is a roll body 25 around which the rear end of the curtain 15 is connected and the curtain 15 is wound.
The roll body 25 is rotatably supported by a frame 27 and is constantly urged to rotate in one direction by a spring member 29 (not visible because it is arranged inside the frame 27 in FIG. 6). Has become.
The one direction referred to here is a direction in which the curtain 15 is wound to be stored in the case 13. Further, a ratchet mechanism is attached to the roll body so that the roll body 2
When 5 is rotated against the biasing force of the spring member 29, it can be temporarily stopped at that position. Further, in order to release the stopped state and start the rotation of the spring member 29 in the storing direction again, it is sufficient to pull out a little from the stopped state again.
As a result, the stopped state by the ratchet mechanism is released. In FIG. 6, a part of the wound curtain 15 is cut out so that the inner roll body 25 can be seen.

The operation will be described based on the above configuration. First, when not in use, the state is as shown in FIGS. That is, the curtain 15 is retracted and stored in the case 13. In the state shown in FIG. 2,
The handle 21 attached to the tip of the curtain 15 is the case 1
Although it is in a state of being projected from 3, the entire curtain 15 including this handle 21 may be stored in the case 13. When stored in such a state, the handle 21
Although the next pull-out work becomes complicated by the stored amount, it is possible to prevent the patient from pulling out by mischief. In particular, when the patient is a demented elderly person, such a mischief has become a big problem. However, by storing in such a state as described above, it is possible to effectively prevent such a mischief. You can

Next, the time of use will be described. In this case, the handle 21 at the tip of the stored curtain 15 is gripped. Grasp this handle 21 and attach the curtain 15 to the case 13
Pull out from within. Next, when the curtain 15 is pulled out, the handle 21 is hooked on the locking metal fitting 23. As a result, the state in which the curtain 15 is pulled out is maintained. By pulling out the curtain 15 in this manner, one side of the patient 9 is shielded, and thus the privacy of the patient 9 is surely protected. In such a state, a caregiver may be positioned on the opposite side of the curtain 15 and may provide the patient 9 with necessary care, for example, changing clothes.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. First, it is possible to prevent the curtain 15 from being soiled or damaged by a patient's mischief. This is because the curtain 15 can be stored in the case 13 when not in use. or,
Since the care curtain 11 is unitized and attached to the care bed 1, the device itself is compact compared to the case where the care curtain 11 is hung from the ceiling as in the conventional case. Further, it can be easily attached to the existing care bed 1 without requiring any large-scale attachment work. Also, curtain 1
Since 5 is always urged in the storing direction into the case 13 by the elastic member, it is possible to provide a sufficiently stretched state when it is pulled out, and it is possible to sufficiently exhibit the function as a curtain. Becomes Further, by mounting the ratchet mechanism, the curtain 15 can be stopped with the curtain 15 being pulled out arbitrarily. Further, skirt members 25 and 27 are attached to the opening 17 of the case 13, so that the case 13 can be shielded while the curtain 15 is stored in the case 13. Thereby, the possibility of mischief by the patient can be further reduced.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the width, material, etc. of the curtain 15 may be set arbitrarily. Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the care curtain 11 is attached to the head side of the patient 9, but it may be attached to the foot side, and the attachment location is not particularly limited. In addition, the configuration of each unit is not limited to the illustrated one, and various modifications can be considered. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the locking metal fitting 23 is attached to the foot side end of the care bed 1 at only one place, but it is also conceivable to attach any number at any place on the way. In that case, the amount of pulling out the curtain 15 can be set in a plurality of stages. In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, instead of pulling out to the position where the side of the care bed 1 is completely shielded, it is possible to pull out and fix to any locking metal fitting in the middle. is there. Further, although the ratchet mechanism is attached in the above-mentioned one embodiment, it is also possible to simply attach the ratchet mechanism in the storing direction by the spring member 29 without attaching such a mechanism.

[0016]

As described above in detail, according to the care curtain of the present invention, the curtain is stored in the case when it is not in use, so that the curtain can be soiled or damaged by mischief of a patient. I can now lose it. At the same time, the patient's privacy is surely protected. In addition, when the curtain is always urged in the storing direction into the case by the elastic member, the curtain can be sufficiently stretched with the curtain being pulled out, thereby functioning as the curtain. Will be able to be further enhanced.
Further, if the handle attached to the tip of the curtain can also be stored in the case, it is possible to further reduce the possibility of causing mischief for the patient. Further, when the skirt member is provided at the opening of the case, the inside of the case can be effectively shielded in the state where the curtain is stored, and the possibility of causing mischief for the patient can be further reduced.
