However, in the above-mentioned conventional hanger form, since there is a lift member such as a hanger above the suspended cared person, the vertical dimension becomes large, and the passenger should be transferred to the passenger seat of an ordinary passenger car. I couldn't. Therefore, the present invention is generally provided above the lifted cared person, and when being transferred to the passenger seat of a passenger car, it is provided so as to be positioned below the head of the cared person being lifted. The problem is to use it as a hanger in a lift device.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is formed in a substantially inverted U shape, and a pair of annular members 9 and 9 are fixed to both ends thereof, and a slit 1 is formed at the upper end.
The slit forming members 12 and 12 that form 3 are spaced apart from each other on the left and right, and hooks 11 that can hook the ends of the sling sheet 10 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper and lower intermediate portions, respectively. Between 12 and 12, there is provided a hanger support 14 which is rotatable about a lateral axis and which can be positioned substantially at the center of gravity when the tip of the hanger is rotated inside the hanger body 8. A hanger for a nursing lift device is provided with rotation preventing means 16 for restricting at least one lateral rotation when the tip of the hanger support 14 is rotated inside the hanger body 8.

[0005]

When the care recipient such as a physically handicapped person or an elderly person is lifted from the bed and transferred to the wheelchair, the hanger support 14 should be in a straight line outside the hanger body 8 as shown in FIG. Position it. Then, the end of the sling sheet 10 laid on the care receiver is hooked on the hook 11. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1, like the conventional hanger, the hanger 7 is located above the suspended care receiver, and there is no feeling of pressure.

When transferring to the passenger seat of an ordinary passenger car,
As shown in FIG. 5, the hanger support 14 is attached to the hanger body 8
Position it in a straight line on the inside of the hanger 7
Level. At this time, the upper and lower surfaces are determined so that the hanger body 8 does not rotate downward with respect to the hanger support 14. Then, the head-side ends of the sling sheet 10 laid on the care-receiver are attached to the left and right annular members 9, 9 respectively.
Hook it on the hook 11 after it has been inserted. Further, both ends of the sling sheet 10 on the foot side are inserted into the slits 13 formed by the slit forming member 12 and then hooked on the hook 11.
Then, the hanger 7 is suspended by the suspending belt 5 at the center of gravity of the hanger 7 and the sling sheets 10 are hung at the four corners thereof, and is maintained in a substantially horizontal state with good balance as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Therefore, in this state, the hanger 7 is horizontally positioned near the suspended shoulder of the cared person, and there is no lift member above the cared person's head, so that it can be easily placed inside the passenger car as shown in FIG. Can be put in.
