DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a care and welfare technique for a person in need of care, and more particularly to a safety method and apparatus for a lying human body moving operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to move a caregiver who is severely physically handicapped to another place for medical treatment, nursing care and welfare, the person is lifted by a mechanical force or caregiver and transferred to a moving device. The same operation is required when returning to the bed after moving. However, the lifting and moving work of the care recipient is a heavy labor that requires physical strength for the care giver, and the posture of the care recipient is likely to be unreasonable.
It is considered impossible for a caregiver to move a care recipient alone because it can cause anxiety. Therefore, there is a need for safe, secure, reliable, and economical labor-saving technology for the work of moving the care recipient from the bed.

[0003]

In order to move a care recipient lying down to another place, first lift the entire body or
Alternatively, it is necessary to carry out an operation of transferring to a moving device such as a wheelchair while holding the upper body and dragging the lower body. This work is a heavy labor that can be extremely difficult because the caregiver's posture is a mid-low back posture, and considerable care is required of the caregiver himself. Has become. Means for using equipment such as lifts and suspensions are also known, but erection and installation of this kind of equipment requires high costs, and for the care recipient in need, the movement posture is unreasonable or uneasy, In addition, since the use of this type of equipment requires operation skills, caregivers also need specialized knowledge to acquire reliable operation skills, making it easier for elderly people and family members who are likely to have difficulty understanding operation. There is a problem in using and handling. In particular, for the nursing care transfer work of a seriously ill-needed person, an inexpensive and easy method / apparatus for ensuring safety is required above all so as to prevent accidents so as not to fall from the apparatus.

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus developed to cope with such a situation. It is intended to safely and surely perform a moving operation indispensable for nursing care, even by a weak caregiver alone. It is an object of the present invention to provide a moving method and an apparatus therefor.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bed (first bed) on which a care recipient is lying, and a bed for moving the care recipient. The bed between the beds for the purpose of preventing the care-requiring body from falling between the two beds is opened during the transfer work, and between the bed and the transfer bed (the second bed) juxtaposed to the first bed. In the connection method.

That is, the present invention proposes a method for securely and easily installing a stopper required for connection on both the first head and the second bed. The stopper mounting support can be adapted to various kinds of beds. Is the way.

[0007] A second invention is a support device for a connecting stopper, in which a stopper supporting portion is formed in a belt or belt shape, and is provided so as to cover between a bed frame and a mat or between a mat and a mattress. Penetrate and fix the opposite belt end of the stopper to the frame or mat to strengthen the support part, and at the same time use the support belt that the care-requiring body does not feel uncomfortable with the bed by the flexible thin belt-like support mechanism , To support the stop.

[0008] According to the apparatus method of the present invention, even a weak woman or an elderly caregiver can move a bedridden elderly person or a physically handicapped person to a place of rehabilitation, sunbathing, family reunion, etc. on the basis of safety. Since work can be performed independently,
It will have a great effect and change on welfare.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the second bed for movement has a chair structure, and a connecting belt portion for connecting the first bed is provided between the seat portion and the back portion. Since the bent portion of the seat portion and the back portion is located in the middle area of the bed, the connecting operation of only one place close to the central area maintains the side-by-side connected state of both beds, so that it is economical and the connecting operation is easy. By changing the couch to a chair shape,
It is possible to go around a corner and move using a home elevator.

[0010]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In FIGS. 1A and 1B, between a bed frame (3) and a base mat (4) corresponding to an upper waist position (2) of a care recipient in need of lying on a permanent bed (first bed) (1). Alternatively, a fiber or plastic inter-bed connection support belt (6) made of a thin strip or belt having flexibility and tensile strength is laid under the bedding between the mat and the bedding (5). The connecting ring (10) is attached to the upper part as shown in FIG. 2, and the lower part (11) is attached to the bed frame or the bed frame. The belt-like support band is fixed by bonding to the side of the mat.

The first moving bed (12) also has a first moving bed (12).
And a connecting belt is attached to the position of the bed connecting portion. For this reason, when the first and second beds are arranged side by side, if the belt of the second bed is inserted into the connecting ring of the first bed and tied together, the two beds will be integrated, and the safety conditions for the transfer (open between the beds) The danger of falling down is eliminated).

As described above, if the second bed is juxtaposed to the first bed and connected completely, the slide transfer operation using the polymer sheet previously presented by the inventor (Patent Application No. 8-12).
6247) can be performed safely and easily, so that the transfer / transfer operation can be performed quietly, more securely, and labor-saving in a safe atmosphere without giving excessive force to the position of the care recipient who is transferred.

[0013]

Conventionally, there is always a danger of falling when a person requiring care is transferred or moved, and in order to avoid this, the caregiver is required to have physical strength and arm strength. Is performed by multiple human powers. This inevitably increases the cost of nursing care. In addition, the caregiver also has a great deal of hard work, and thus tends to rely on mechanical force such as lifting, which further increases the cost of nursing care and poses a problem for the future welfare care. Even a caregiver who is unable to transfer or move a caregiver can perform the work safely and independently, which is very effective.

The apparatus and method of the present invention have the advantage of saving labor.
It will greatly contribute to the nursing care and welfare in the aging society in the future, along with the economic effects. In addition, the present invention is a connection method and apparatus applicable to any of a variety of existing bed types, and is a method that can improve the safety of mutual movement of a bed, a stretcher, a wheelchair, and the like, and is used in the present method. The connecting portion support belt portion and the stopper can be freely selected, and the stopper can be directly attached to the bed frame without using a belt or the like, and the stopper can be freely inserted and removed.

According to the present system, it is possible to drastically improve the separation between beds caused by the sliding action of the casters caused by the transfer movement stress, and the problem of the fall of the bed between the beds of the care-requiring person due to the separation. As a result, more complete nursing and welfare can be performed not only in general homes but also in facilities and hospitals.
