Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kitchenette wagon for physically handicapped people, and more particularly to a kitchenette wagon suitable for use by physically handicapped people in bed or in a wheelchair.

Hitherto, no kitchen wagon suitable for use by a physically disabled person in bed or in a wheelchair has been proposed. Although it depends on the degree of the disability, people with physical disabilities routinely eat meals in bed and perform various tasks in wheelchairs, and there is a demand for a kitchen wagon that can accommodate such daily activities.

This invention aims to provide a kitchenette wagon that is adapted to the daily activities of physically handicapped people, and can be easily placed beside the bed, used in bed or in a wheelchair, and placed out of the way when leaving the bed. This is a kitchen wagon that can be evacuated to the ground, and consists of three parts: a base unit 1, an intermediate unit 2, and an upper unit 3. A table 6 is attached to the upper surface of the intermediate unit 2 so that it can be pulled out horizontally via slide rails 7 arranged parallel to each other at intervals, and a heated storage 12 is attached to the upper unit 3.
The intermediate unit 2 is provided with a small article tray 11 and a extractor 10 that can be freely pulled out in the horizontal direction by rotation. It is characterized in that a stopper pin 18 for stopping target rotation is removably disposed.

Preferred embodiments of the invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The kitchen wagon according to the present invention consists of a combination of three units: a base unit 1, an intermediate unit 2, and an upper unit 3. The upper unit 3 is attached horizontally rotatably to the upper unit 3. three units 1,
With these two and three rotational modes, it is possible to satisfy various different usage modes required by physically handicapped persons, as will be described later. A rectangular box-shaped base unit 1 extending in the vertical direction is attached with legs 4 extending in the horizontal direction to ensure the upright stability of the kitchen wagon.
An appropriate number of casters 5 for movement are pivotally mounted on the lower surface of the . A storage is formed within the base unit 1, which can be rotated to be taken in and out in the horizontal direction as required.

The intermediate unit 2 has a rectangular box shape and is provided with a table 6 on its upper surface that can be taken in and out in the horizontal direction, and the table 6 can be taken in and out in the longitudinal direction of the legs 4 of the base unit 1. table 6
In order to facilitate and guide the horizontal sliding of the table 6, slide rails 7 with ball bearings are arranged in parallel at intervals between the upper surface of the intermediate unit 2 and the lower surface of the table 6. Between the slide rails 7, the upper surface of the intermediate unit 2 is formed into a platform 8 projecting upward. table 6
A cutout portion 9 corresponding to the base portion 8 is formed from one end, and the collision between the inner end surface of the cutout portion 9 and one side of the base portion 8 regulates the stopping position when the table 6 is pushed. Regulation of the pull-out position of the table 6 is achieved by the length of the slide rail 7. On the side of the intermediate unit 2 where the table 6 goes in and out, there is attached a extractor 10 which is rotatably supported on a vertical axis and rotates horizontally to take in and out, and the side opposite to this is recessed to store small items. A mounting portion 11 is formed.

The upper unit 3 consists of a heated storage 12 for keeping and storing food and drinks, and its lid 13 can be opened and closed in the direction of entry and exit from the table 6. A small article mounting table 14 is formed adjacent to the heated storage 12.

Relative horizontal rotation between the base unit 1 and the intermediate unit 2, as well as between the intermediate unit 2 and the upper unit 3, is controlled by a rotary disk 15 with ball bearings mounted between the respective units.
This is achieved by 16. A fixed shaft 17 passing through the rotary disk 16 is inserted between the intermediate unit 2 and the upper unit 3 in order to accurately determine the relative positional relationship between the two. A stopper pin 18 is inserted between the intermediate unit 2 and the upper unit 3 to disable relative rotation between the two, and by inserting and removing the stopper pin 18, the relative rotation of both units 1 and 2 is allowed or vice versa. It becomes impossible.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the mode of use of the kitchen wagon according to the present invention will be explained. As shown in Figure 9, Kitchinetswagon A
is placed next to bed B and adjacent to wall C. In this state, the kitchen wagon A can be used as a simple desk using the table 6 that is not pulled out. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, it is moved slightly and pulled out to the table 6 to widen the table surface and use it as a table for a wheelchair. In this case, the storage of the base unit 1 is pulled out and writing instruments, paper, etc. are taken out as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 9, remove the stopper pin 18, rotate the intermediate unit 2 together with the upper unit 3 by 180 degrees, position it on the bed B, and place it on the table 6.
can be pulled out and used as a dining table, heated storage 12
The person takes out food and drink from the table and eats and drinks on the table 6. Rotate the extractor 10 and pull it out, chopsticks, knife,
Take out forks, spoons, etc. Further, the upper unit 3 is rotated to take out the food and drink placed on the small article mounting table 14.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the intermediate unit 2 and the upper unit 3 are rotated 45 degrees from the state in which they are used on the bed B, and are evacuated from the bed B. In this state, the user Get off the bed using the lift placed in the wheelchair D.
Move to.

As described above, the kitchen wagon of the present invention is composed of three parts: the base unit 1, the intermediate unit 2, and the upper unit 3, and the units 1, 2, and 3 are combined with each other so as to be freely rotatable in the horizontal direction. At the same time, a table 6 is attached to the upper surface of the intermediate unit 2 so that it can be pulled out horizontally via slide rails 7 arranged parallel to each other at intervals, and a heated storage 12 and a table for placing small items 14 are provided in the upper unit 3. , the intermediate unit 2 is provided with a small article placement part 11 and a extractor 10 that can be freely pulled out in the horizontal direction by rotation, and a stopper pin 18 is provided between the base unit 1 and the intermediate unit 2 to stop relative rotation between both units 1 and 2. Since it is arranged so that it can be inserted and removed freely, the form of the kitchenette wagon can be changed according to the usage pattern required by the physically disabled person, making it extremely suitable as a kitchenette wagon for the physically disabled person. It can be done.
