DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In FIG. 1, 1 is a base,
The product of the present invention is firmly fixed to the floor so that it does not wobble or fall. It is provided with a column 2 which stands vertically, and which also rotates automatically or manually and which can move up and down, with a saddle 6, a handle 8, a belly pad 9 and a step 5. Further, a roller 10 is attached to the lower part of the support 2, and a height adjustment plate 3 is attached to a fulcrum 12 of the base from the toilet side, and an elevating device 4 for moving the height up and down is attached to the wheelchair. By moving the lifting device 4 up and down, the angle of the height adjustment plate 3 is changed, and the saddle 6 can be adjusted to the height of a wheelchair. In addition, pillar 2
When pivots toward the toilet, the roller 10 attached to the lower part of the column 2 rolls on the height adjustment plate 3, and the column 2 is lowered, and the saddle 6 becomes the same height as the toilet. This function adjusts the height difference between the wheelchair and the toilet.

[0006] A hook 7 is provided at a lower rear portion of the vertically long saddle 6 provided on the support column 2 and configured as described above. The hook 7 is connected to the saddle 6 by a belt that expands and contracts like a seat belt, and is configured to lock when the belt extends to a certain position. When the hook 7 is stored, the lower rear portion of the saddle 6 is recessed inward so as not to be caught when the user gets on and off the vehicle, and is stored there.

When attaching the step plate 5 to the support 2,
The step board 5 is mounted at the same height as the steps of the wheelchair.

A handle 8 is attached to the column 2. The handle 8 is made rugged, and is set at the height of the waist so that force is easily applied when getting on and off the saddle 6.

A belly pad 9 is attached to the top of the column 2.
The stomach pad 9 sits on the saddle 6 and leans forward and around the umbilicus: bends in the shape of a ku: and supports up to the chest, and leans forward around the umbilical fulcrum. , Rocks where the butt floats.

FIGS. 2 to 4 are explanatory views of the present invention. When moving from a wheelchair to the product of the present invention, the user does not stand up,
The saddle 6 is vertically long so that it can be moved over.

[0011] The user rides the vehicle by sliding the hips using the handle 8. Further, the saddle 6 is slightly tilted about the saddle fulcrum 11 as a fulcrum so that the saddle 6 can easily get on and off. Depending on the type of wheelchair, the sitting height varies, and it may be difficult to move to the product of the present invention. Therefore, as described above, the roller 10 is attached to the lower part of the column 2 of the present invention,
A movable height adjusting plate 3 is attached below the plate, an automatic or manual lifting device 4 is attached, and the height of the saddle 6 of the main body is adjusted. The fulcrum 12 of the height adjusting plate 3 is adjusted so that the saddle 6 is at the height of the toilet bowl.
Is turned to the toilet side, the saddle 6 automatically reaches the height of the toilet.

After the user gets on the product of the present invention, the column 2 is rotated to move to the toilet (Western style) side. Before moving from the product of the present invention to the toilet, the pants and the like are lowered as much as possible while sitting, and the hooks 7 attached to the lower left and right of the saddle 6 are bitten by the pants and the like. (The hook 7 is a device for taking off pants and the like.) Thereafter, the product moves from the product of the present invention to the toilet while pushing the handle 8 while sliding the hips. At this time, the pants and the like are removed by the hook 7 simultaneously with the movement. When the service is completed, the hook 7 is removed and the handle 8 is used to move to the saddle 6. Using the handle 8, the body is deposited on the stomach pad 9 to raise the hips.

Thereafter, the user releases his / her hand from the handle 8 and wears pants or the like, and sits on the saddle 6 to rotate toward the wheelchair. When returning to the wheelchair from the product of the present invention, the user moves to the front of the wheelchair with the handle 8, switches to the handrail of the wheelchair, and gets into the wheelchair.

FIGS. 5 to 8 show these lucky operations. FIG. 5 shows a situation where the user moves from a wheelchair to the product of the present invention. First, the foot is placed on the step board 5 and moved to the saddle 6 using the handle 8 to rotate the column 2 to move to the toilet.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show a situation where the user moves to the toilet. In FIG. 6, the pants or the like are lowered while sitting, and the hook 7 is bitten by the pants or the like. Then, using the handle 8 as shown in FIG.
The pants etc. come off.
