4 is adhesively fixed. Thus, even in a dark room or the like, since the board bodies 17 and 18 can be recognized, it is possible to prevent a pedestrian from hitting or hitting a wheelchair, for example.

The second luminous body 24 is formed by molding the board bumper 19 with a phosphorescent fluorescent material mixed with a luminous fluorescent agent in a synthetic resin, so that the entire board bumper 19 can be used as the second luminous body. Good.

Further, on the outer surface of the side member 16, a side bumper 25 for absorbing an impact when the side member 16 is hit with a wheelchair or the like is provided over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 7, the side bumper 25 has an outer surface of a base 26a formed of a metal such as aluminum covered with a skin 26b formed of a soft synthetic resin, and a tapping screw provided on the base 26a. 27 is screwed and attached to the side member 16.

A concave portion 28 is formed in the skin portion 26b, and a third portion made of a tape-shaped synthetic resin is formed in the concave portion 28.
Are adhered and fixed. Therefore, even in a dark room or the like, the third luminous body 29 allows bed flaring.
Since the side member 16 of the vehicle 15 can be reliably recognized, it is possible to prevent a pedestrian from hitting or hitting a wheelchair.

The third luminous body 29 may be formed as a second luminous body by molding the side bumper 25 with a luminous fluorescent material in which a luminous fluorescent agent is mixed in a synthetic resin.

The side member 16 of the bed frame 15 has a plurality of mounting holes 31 opened on the upper surface as shown in FIG.
Are formed at predetermined intervals. A handrail member 32 is detachably attached to the side member 16. The handrail member 32 has a pair of leg pipes 33, and the lower end of the leg pipe 33 is formed to have a smaller diameter than other portions, and this portion is covered with a resin cover 34. The leg pipe 33 has a small diameter portion covered with a resin cover 34 removably fitted into a mounting hole 31 formed in the side member 16.

At the upper end of the leg pipe 33, a wooden handle 35 is provided horizontally. A concave portion 36 is formed on the upper surface of the handle portion 35 along the longitudinal direction, and the concave portion 36 has a fourth light emitting body 37 made of a tape-shaped synthetic resin.
Are adhesively fixed. Therefore, the handhold 35 of the handrail member 32 can be reliably recognized and used in a dark room or the like.

The fourth illuminant 37 is provided with a handle 35
May be molded with a phosphorescent fluorescent material in which a phosphorescent fluorescent agent is mixed into a synthetic resin, so that the entire handle 35 may be used as the fourth luminous body.

The bed frame 15 is provided with a floor plate 41. The floor plate 41 is divided into a plurality of, in this embodiment, four floor portions 42a to 42d, which are rotatably connected to each other.

A fixed floor 42b located at the center in the longitudinal direction of the bed frame 15 is fixed to the bed frame 15. On one side of the fixed floor portion 42ba, a back raising floor portion 42a located on the headboard 17 side is pivotally mounted, and on the other side, a first leg floor portion 42c and a second leg floor portion 42d are sequentially provided. Being pivoted.

A back raising mechanism (not shown) is provided on the lower surface side of the floor plate 41. This back-raising mechanism rotates the back-raising floor portion 42a in the upright direction as shown by a chain line in FIG. 2, or rotates the first and second leg floor portions 42c and 42d to rotate the back-raising floor portion 42a. In conjunction with this, it can be raised almost like a mountain.

A mattress (not shown) is placed on the floor plate 41, and the user lies on the mattress.
Therefore, when the back raising floor portion 42a is raised, the user can raise the upper body, and at the same time, the first,
Since the legs are lifted by the bending of the second leg floors 42c and 42d, the buttocks are prevented from shifting forward.

According to the bed apparatus having the above-described structure, the bed frame 1 is provided with the first to fourth luminous bodies 12, 24, 29 and 37 directly or indirectly. The first light emitter 12 is a foot bar 11 of a total lock mechanism 3 for simultaneously locking the four casters 2 of the bed device.
It is provided in. Therefore, even if the room is in a dark state, the first light emitting body 12 that emits light emits the foot bar.
The caster 2 can be locked or the locked state can be released by reliably recognizing 11.

Moreover, the position of one end of the base frame 1 of the bed device in the longitudinal direction can be recognized in the dark room by the first luminous body 12, so that a pedestrian or the like is prevented from hitting. Can be.

The second light emitter 24 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the board bumper 19 at the lower end of the pipe members 17a, 18a of the headboard 17 and the footboard 18. Therefore, pedestrians and wheelchair occupants in dark rooms, etc.
Each of the beds of the bed apparatus is illuminated by the second illuminant 24 that emits light.
Since the boards 17 and 18 can be reliably recognized, it is possible to prevent the board bodies 17 and 18 from hitting each other.

The third illuminant 29 is provided on the side bumper 25 of the side member 16 of the bed frame 15. Therefore, the third luminous body 29 allows the bed frame 1
Since the side member 16 of the fifth embodiment can be reliably recognized, it is possible to prevent a pedestrian from hitting the bed frame 15 or hitting a wheelchair. Moreover, since the position of the bed frame 15 can be recognized even in a dark place, it can be used as a mark when the user returns to the bed apparatus.

The fourth illuminant 37 is provided on the handle 35 of the handrail member 32. Therefore, when the user on the bed uses the handrail member 32 in a dark room or the like, the user can reliably recognize the use of the handrail member 32, and the handrail member 32 can be used safely.

As described above, the first to fourth illuminants 12, 24, 29, and 37 are provided directly or indirectly on the bed frame 15 of the bed apparatus, so that the bed apparatus can be used in a dark room or the like. Since it is possible to reliably recognize, the user of the bed device can easily get on and off the mattress, and also prevent a pedestrian from hitting or hitting a wheelchair.

In the present invention, the location where the luminous body is provided is not limited to the location shown in the above-described embodiment, but may be provided in other portions. It may be provided at a place where a wheelchair or pedestrian passing nearby can surely confirm the existence of the bed device.
