Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor-supporting type body-supporting aid in a bed having a floor undulating mechanism, which enables even a physically handicapped user to easily support the body. It relates to the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Most modern beds are provided with a floor undulating mechanism so that a user can lie on a desired posture by raising their backs and legs. In addition, as the age of unprecedented aging is heading, the number of nursing beds for the elderly is increasing.

[0003]

However, even in such a bed, even if the side fences are provided on the floor board and the side frame side, the mattress 1 itself does not support anything, so the back is raised. In particular, the bedridden old person cannot maintain the posture by himself, and the upper half of the body becomes unstable, and the person falls down to the side of the mattress 1, which is dangerous without an attendant (see FIG. 4). The present invention has been proposed in order to improve the above-mentioned problems, and even a physically handicapped user such as an elderly person can safely use the floor by supporting the upper body so that the upper body does not sway. An object of the present invention is to provide a floor-mounted type body support assist device in a bed provided with a mechanism.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a structure in which a mattress on the floor is detachably attached to a floor such as a bed whose support angle is adjustable. The sheet-like base material and the upper half body support assisting member disposed on the sheet-like base material corresponding to a position close to at least one side surface in the longitudinal direction of the floor. In the above-mentioned structure, the sheet-shaped base material is mounted so as to wrap the mattress from the upper surface of the mattress, and the vicinity of the end surface of the sheet-shaped base material corresponding to the back surface of the mattress is subjected to anti-slip processing. Further, the sheet-like base material and / or the upper body support assisting member is made of a waterproof sheet material.

[0005]

The sheet-like base material is covered on the mattress corresponding to the head side and the back side from the upper surface so that the mattress does not shift on the back surface of the mattress. The user places the upper body on the center side of the sheet-shaped base material, so that the upper body is supported by the upper body support assisting member. Therefore, even if the floor is woken up, the upper half is supported by the upper body support auxiliary member, so that it is possible to prevent the body from shifting to the side of the mattress, which gives the user anxiety. There is no.

EXAMPLE Next, a floor-mounted type body support assist device in a bed equipped with a floor undulation mechanism according to the present invention,
An embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a floor-mounting type body support assist device 10 in a bed equipped with a floor undulation mechanism. This floor mount type body support auxiliary device 10 is a floor in a bed (not shown) equipped with a floor undulation mechanism. Mattress 1 to be placed on a section (not shown)
It is designed such that it can be detachably attached to the 1. That is, the floor-mounted type body support assist device 10 is configured such that the sheet-like base material 12 is detachably attached to a portion that supports the upper half of the mattress 11, and the mattress 11 extends in the longitudinal direction on the sheet-like base material 12. And a pair of upper body support assisting members 13 disposed at positions corresponding to positions close to both side surfaces of the.

The sheet-shaped substrate 12 is a mattress 11
The mattress 11 is mounted so as to wrap it from the upper surface through a bed sheet 14 that covers the mattress 11 (see FIG. 3), and the sheet-shaped substrate 12 corresponding to the back surface of the mattress 11
In the vicinity of the end face, for example, a vinyl chloride coating layer 15 having an uneven surface is formed so that the mattress 11 and the sheet-shaped substrate 12 do not shift. In addition,
The sheet-shaped base material 12 can be made of an appropriate material, and depending on the user, can be waterproof-treated or water-repellent treated.

The upper body support assisting member 13 is sewn into a long box-shaped bag, and a fastener 17 for accommodating the cushioning member 16 therein is provided on the outer side surface (see FIG. 2). ). The upper body support assisting member 13 may also be waterproofed or water repellent if necessary. The cushioning member 16
Is made of urethane foam whose surface is covered with vinyl leather to prevent dirt.

In the floor-mounting type body support assist device 10 having the floor undulating mechanism configured as described above, the sheet-like base material 12 is covered from above on the mattress 11 at positions corresponding to the head side and back side. Try to wrap it. At this time, mattress 1
1 On the back surface, the coating layer 15 having an uneven surface is pressed against the mattress 11 while being sandwiched between the floor and the floor due to the weight of the user and the mattress 11.
2 can be prevented from being displaced with respect to the mattress 11. The user places the upper half of the body on the center side of the sheet-shaped base material 12, so that the upper half of the body is supported by the upper half of the body supporting member 13. Therefore, even if the floor undulating mechanism is activated to raise the back, the upper body is held by the upper body support assisting member 13, so that the body does not fall to the side of the mattress 11 and the user is anxious. It does not give a feeling.

If the sheet-shaped base material 12 and the upper body support auxiliary member 13 that are waterproof and water repellent are applied, even if a liquid substance is spilled at the time of a meal or a medication, the mattress The liquid material does not soak into the inside of the mattress 11 and the mattress 11 is not soiled, which is hygienic.

As described above, the floor mount type body support assist device 10 is composed of the sheet-like base member 12 and the upper body support assist member 13 which are detachably attached to the mattress, and therefore the structure is simple and the handling is easy. Is easy and can be installed on an existing bed, which has many advantages.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, even a physically handicapped user such as an elderly person can support the upper half of the body without swaying, so that the device is suitable for the physically handicapped user. It can be said that there is. Moreover, the structure is simple, the handling is easy, and it can be mounted on an existing bed, which has various advantages.
