JPS596821Y2 - Wheelchair with a movable seat part - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an improvement of a wheelchair.

Wheelchairs are used as a foothold for people with physical disabilities, but
When transferring a patient from a bed to a wheelchair, a caregiver must lift and move the patient.

This not only causes mental pain for the patient as he/she has to be bothered by the caregiver and a great burden on the labor of the caregiver, but also is dangerous because the patient is placed in an unreasonable position.

The present invention takes the above points into consideration and aims to provide a wheelchair that facilitates movement from a bed to the wheelchair.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the drawing, 1 is a wheelchair, which is composed of a vehicle body 2 and a seat portion 3.

On the side architraves 4, 4a on both sides of the upper part of the vehicle body 2, there are square guide members 4 which are movement guide parts for moving the seat part 3 forward.
0,403, and guide grooves 5,5a are formed on the upper surface of the guide member 40.40H.

In addition, when the side architraves 4, 4a are hollow bodies, the side architraves 4, 4
There is no problem even if the guide grooves 5, 5a are formed directly on the upper surface of a.

Engagement protrusions 6, 6a are formed at the portions of the seat portion 3 that contact the guide members 40, 40H.

The engagement protrusions 6, 6a engage with the guide grooves 5, 5a to prevent the seat part 3 from being removed when protruding from the vehicle body 2, and from this point of view, the engagement protrusions 6, 6a are used as protrusions. Articles may also be used.

The engaging protrusions 6, 6a are formed in the rear half near the backrest in order to cause the seat part 3 to protrude above the bed.

Note that it is preferable to form flanges 61 on the engaging protrusions 6, 6a because the seat portion 3 cannot be removed.

Further, it is preferable to attach rollers 8 to the engaging protrusions 6, 6a, since this allows the seat portion 3 to be taken in and out smoothly.

The wheelchair 1 is provided with a locking device 30 for fixing the seat part 3 so that it does not move during movement or when transferring to the wheelchair 1.

The lock device 30 is composed of lock levers 20, 203 attached to the seat portion 3 and stoppers 10, 108 formed on the side architraves 4, 4a.

Note that the lock device 30 is not limited to this structure.

Further, it is preferable that the armrests 11 and 112 be made removable, since this makes it easier to move the armrests 11 and 112 to the wheelchair 1.

Next, in order to use the wheelchair 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the wheelchair 1 is brought into close contact with the bed, and the seat part 3 is slid and projected toward the bed.

Since the lock device 30 is provided, the lock lever 2
0,20 Pull 1 to release the lock and slide it, then lock it again to fix the seat part 3.

Thereafter, if the patient is able to leave, he or she moves to the chair section 3 and sits down.

In this case, the caregiver only needs to lightly support the upper body or both lower legs.

If the patient is unable to do so, the caregiver puts her sister behind the patient and gently pulls her to sit on the seat 1 chair section 3.

The patient sits on the chair part 3 or returns the seat part 3 to its original position.

Since the lock device 30 is provided, the lock lever 2
0,20 Pull a to release the lock and return the seat part 3 to its original position.

At this time, if the stoppers 10, 10a have a slope, the lock lever 20 slides on the slope, falls downward when the slope breaks, and the seat part 3 is fixed to the vehicle body 2. .

In addition, if the armrests 11, 11a are removable, it is easier to get on and off the seat 3 by removing the armrests 11, 11a, and it is easier to get on and off the seat 3 by simply sliding the seat 3 forward. It is also possible to have the patient lie down on the bed.

In this way, in the present invention, the wheelchair 1 has a body 2 and a seat part 3.
Since the seat part 3 can be slid forward, the seat part 3 can be made to protrude above the bed.

Therefore, the patient who is able to move to the seat part 3 can move to the seat part 3 on his own, so he will feel less anxious about the helper and will be more motivated to carry out his daily life.

Furthermore, since the patient is freed from an uncomfortable position when moving from the bed to the wheelchair 1, the patient can feel safe and secure.

Furthermore, there is a remarkable effect that the labor of the caregiver is also reduced.
