Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an air mat for changing body position.

In the present invention, the body position changing motion is selected depending on the disease, and of course it can be sustained if necessary, but in general, if the body position changing movement is continued, so-called seasickness will be avoided. This refers to a temporary phenomenon, and it also includes the effect of improving circulation only locally in the affected area.

Traditionally, patients after surgery require bed rest for long-term recuperation, so they have to lie down in a fixed position for a long time, which can cause pressure sores or damage internal functions due to the inability to move the body. It causes debilitation, causes pain in coughs, etc., has a negative effect on bones, and even causes a feeling of pressure and impaired blood circulation.

Therefore, various measures have been taken to eliminate such discomfort and negative effects on the human body, such as placing a circular tube-shaped seat under the affected area to float the body, and moving the rotating table in the center of the bed to the left and right. A rotating bed type that tilts and an air mat type that has a large number of air bags arranged in parallel and air being injected and discharged individually have been devised.

However, both the rotating bed type and air mat type mentioned above cannot be used for medical purposes because it is impossible to change the position where the body weight is applied, and it is impossible to prevent the deterioration of the most important internal organ function. It was not enough for him to be killed.

However, since conventional air mats are formed of two compartments in one tier, air can only be injected alternately, making it impossible to perform complex changes in body position.

In other words, no air mat has been found that lifts the head and feet and also takes into account the ability to turn over in bed.

The present invention was created in view of the situation of diagonally ascending patients, and aims to provide an air mattress that allows complicated body position changes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the air mat for changing body position of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The non-breathable vinyl sheet consists of four sheets numbered 1, 2, and 3.4.

The two upper surfaces 1 and 2 of the sheets have a right side surface R corresponding to the upper surface of FIG.
It is divided into two compartments I and II, each consisting of a zigzag-shaped pouch in the horizontal direction, which is connected to the bottom left side of the figure, and is glued together using a high-frequency welder to form the upper layer air mat U. ing.

Therefore, by closing valves 7 and 8 and sucking air from the branch pipes 9 and 10, the upper air pine (U) in the two sections I and II will be completely filled with air, and the state as shown in Figure 3 will be maintained. drooping

However, if you open valve 8 and let the air out of compartment Ⅰ, the body position will be supported only by compartment II, which is made up of every other zigzag-shaped pouch, as shown in Figure 4.

Therefore, by reversing the situation shown in Figure 4, that is, by removing the air from section II and injecting air alternately into sections I and II, as in the case of letting air into section II, the body position can be changed at upper pine) U. can be done.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower surfaces 3 and 4 of the non-ventilated vinyl sheets are connected to the outer intermediate frame 11 and the comb teeth 12 in the lateral direction at the left side, which corresponds to the lower surface of FIG. The two sections III and IV are adhered together using a high frequency welder to form the lower air mat B.

Note that the bag shown in FIG. 2 is composed of an inner bag having a width wider than that of the small bag shown in FIG.

In particular, there are wide inner bags on the head and feet, so there are 2 compartments III.
.

By filling the lower air pine) B with air from the IV branch pipes 13 and 14, the body position can be greatly changed to the state shown in Fig. 5, so it is possible to change the lying position for a long time, and It can be used for therapeutic effect.

Further, between the upper layer air pine) U and the lower layer air mat B, an intermediate layer air pine) M is provided.

This consists of two large bags made by dividing the upper surface 2 and lower surface 3 of the non-ventilated vinyl sheet into two vertically as shown in Figure 6.
It is firmly bonded to the sections V and VI at the vertical center frame 15 with an adhesive.

Fig. 7 is a left side view of Fig. 6 when viewed from the left, and if air is filled into section VI from the branch pipe 17, one vertical side of the middle layer air pine) M will rise as shown in Fig. 7. Therefore, the body position can be easily turned over.

This is because the gore portions are provided on both side surfaces 18 and 19 of the middle layer air pine (middle layer air pine) M, so that it can float in a fan shape.

Although the air suction/exhaust mechanism connected to the branch pipes is not shown, in the case of the upper air pine T-U, a pump and a rotary switching cylinder are used to automatically inject air alternately. The middle layer air mat M and the lower layer air pine) B may be press-filled with air using a pump, and when they are no longer needed, the air may be released by opening a valve.

The above-mentioned embodiment is only one example of the air mat for changing the body position of the present invention, and the teeth of the comb can be made into a zigzag shape or a spiral shape.

Since the air mat for changing the body position of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the support conditions for the human body as a mat can be appropriately changed by press-fitting air simultaneously or alternately into the bags formed in the compartments. Can be done.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent bedridden patients from suffering bedsores, change their mood, and easily change their clothes.

For example, in the case of the above embodiment, press-fitting air into the middle layer air mat makes it easier to turn over, and press-fitting air into the lower layer air mat makes the entire body adopt a large dogleg-shaped slanted posture. This is an effective and practical air mat that can be converted into various body positions.
