Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a device that lifts a physically disabled person, such as a bedridden elderly person, who is unable to stand up on a bed while lying down and transfers the patient to a transport vehicle, etc. This device especially causes anxiety in the patient during the transfer. This relates to a lifting device that does not cause lateral rocking that causes

Conventionally, in nursing homes, hospitals, etc., when transporting a bedridden elderly person or a physically disabled person who cannot get up on their own to a destination such as a bathtub, they are transferred from their bed to a transport vehicle, etc. They were being transported to their destination by car.

However, the method of transferring the patient to a transport vehicle relies solely on the labor of the nurse, and it is not only dangerous to pick up and transfer such a patient, but also requires considerable hard labor on the part of the nurse. It was because of this.

Moreover, because the labor burden on nurses was so heavy, patients sometimes even felt subservient to nurses.

In view of this situation, it is already known that lifts for hanging patients have been developed in recent years and are now in use in order to reduce the labor of nurses and to safely transfer patients.

However, with these known lifting devices, the device is large-scale, the shape of the packet forces the patient into an unreasonable posture, causing great pain, and the patient is shaken during the transfer. However, there remained a major problem in that the movement was so severe that it caused patients to feel anxious and fearful.

The present invention attempts to eliminate these remaining problems by attaching a cable guide ring to the tip of a fixed arm that protrudes to one side from the top of the column, and at a lower position of the fixed arm. A movable arm is provided, the base end of which is pivotally mounted together with a conversion ring near the base of the fixed arm, and a movable arm configured to pivotally suspend a suspension rod at the distal end;
A rope fixed to the distal end of the movable arm is connected to an actuating tool via the cable guide ring, conversion ring, etc., and the movable arm is made to vibrate vertically by operating the actuating tool. It is intended to present a free-lifting device.

to be placed.

(F) The transfer table 21, which is suspended from the arm rod 19 with the sling 20, is formed into a substantially rectangular shape with F, R, P, etc., and the locking portion 22 of the sling 20 is formed at an appropriate position. In addition, the upper surface of the side end portion 23 is made oblique and the end portion is thin to facilitate the transfer of the patient.

(g) The bases of left and right legs 24 formed in an oval shape are pivotally attached to both sides of the base frame 4 at the lower end of the pillar 1, and
A support 25 is provided on the lower surface of the base frame 4.

(H) The legs 24 are equipped with flexible wheels 26 each equipped with a brake body at the front and rear, and an opening/closing rod 27 provided on the base frame 4.
The rear wheels of each of the legs 24 are connected by a connecting rod 28, and the distance between the front parts of the legs 24 can be expanded or contracted by operating the opening/closing rod 27.

(S) The support 25 is configured so that when an attached petal 29 is stepped on, the rear wheel is slightly raised, and the front part of the leg 24 can be rotated laterally using the support 25 as a fulcrum. The structure is designed to facilitate the transfer of patients to the transport vehicle.

Next, the operation of the device equipped with the device of the present invention will be explained.
Move the machine body using the operating rod 5 to position the legs 24 below the bed.

Next, the opening/closing rod 27 is operated to widen the space between the front parts of the legs 24 to stabilize the aircraft, and then the swivel wheels 26 are braked.
The actuator 6' is operated to lower the movable arm 9 downward and lower the transfer table 21 to a position next to the patient lying on the bed.

The sling 20 is removed, the patient is placed on the transfer table 21 in a recumbent position, and the sling 20 is locked again.

Operate the actuating tool 6 to raise the movable arm 9 upward to lift the transfer table 21 with the patient on it, tighten the fixing screws 16 to fix the transfer table 21 in a horizontal state, and remove the petal 2 of the support device 25.
After stepping on the lever 9 to lift the rear wheel, the brake on the front wheel is released, and then the front part of the leg 24 is rotated laterally about the support 25 using the operating rod 5.

The transfer table 21 that has been moved above the transport vehicle prepared in advance is set in a free state by loosening the fixing screw 16, and the hanging rod 17 is turned horizontally to adjust the orientation of the transfer table 21 according to the orientation of the transport vehicle. While doing so, they are sequentially lowered onto the transport vehicle, and once loaded onto the transport vehicle, the sling 20 is removed and the transport is carried to the destination location.

As described above, in the present invention, the cable guiding ring 3 is pivotally attached to the tip of the fixed arm 2 that projects to one side from the upper part of the column 1, and the fixed arm 2
A movable arm 9 is disposed at a lower position, the base end of which is pivotally mounted 8 together with the conversion shaft 7 near the base of the fixed arm 2, and the movable arm 9 configured to have a suspension lever 17 pivotally suspended at the distal end. The cable 14 fixed to the tip of the movable arm 9 is communicated with the operating tool 6 via the cable guide ring 3, the conversion shaft 7, etc., and the movable arm 9 is moved in the vertical direction by operating the operating tool 6. Since this is a lifting device for people with physical disabilities that can vibrate freely, conventional devices that suspended packets using only ropes caused severe lateral sway during transfer, which caused patients to feel uneasy. In contrast, in the present invention, as described above, the suspension rod 17 for suspending the transfer table 21 is directly pivotally connected to the movable arm 9 that can vibrate only in the vertical direction with the base end as an axis. A cable 14 that causes the movable arm 9 to vibrate in the vertical direction has its end fixed to the distal end of the movable arm 9, a cable guide ring 3 pivoted to the distal end of the fixed arm 2, and a cable string 14 pivoted to the proximal end of the movable arm 9. Since it operates via the conversion shaft 7, the movable arm 9, whose base end is pivoted 8 and whose lateral movement is restricted by the cable 14, does not have to worry about sideways movement, giving the patient a sense of anxiety and fear. That is not the case at all.

Moreover, with the completion of a device that is easy to operate and can carry out transfer operations safely and reliably like the present invention, nurses are freed from the hard work of lifting and transferring patients.
Furthermore, since it has a strong structure in which the suspension rod 17 is directly pivotally connected to the movable arm 9, it is possible to suspend a large transfer table 21 on which the patient can be placed in a recumbent position. It has a simple structure and has a variety of truly remarkable effects, such as not being forced into a posture, causing no pain, and is of extremely high practical value.

In this embodiment, the support is provided with legs so that it can be moved freely, but the main parts can also be attached to a desired location such as a bed or bathtub, and the support is not limited to those provided with legs. do not have.
