It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent nursing care device that can be used to smoothly and accurately carry out nursing care work, etc., to benefit the field of nursing care technology utilization in the medical industry.

<Structure of the invention> In accordance with the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of this invention, which is based on the scope of the above-mentioned utility model registration claim, is to solve the above-mentioned problems. A sealed air action bag that is a flexible body in the shape of a snail, and has a lower side corresponding to the lower back and buttocks of a patient, etc., and has a narrow part for the lower back and a wide part for the buttocks integrally formed on the bedclothes. , and connect a hose with a check valve to the sealed air cushion bag to a foot-operated air pump installed on the side of the bedclothes. By supplying air to the sealed air action bag through a hose, the sealed air action bag is changed from a contracted state to an inflated state to flexibly lift the waist of a bedridden elderly person, etc., and accurately perform nursing care work such as taking care of a predetermined person. It is carried out smoothly, it is easy for the caregiver to do the work, it does not cause any mental or physical pain to the elderly person receiving the care, it does not stain the bedding, etc., and it does not require wiping the body. After completing the specified nursing care work, open the check valve provided on the hose to release air from inside the sealed air action bag, contract the air action bag, and lower the lower back. , technical measures have been taken to enable the patient to return to a normal sleeping position.

<Embodiment - Configuration> Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, numeral 1 is a bed serving as bedding, and a bedridden elderly person 3 is placed on top of the futon 2 in a sleeping position.

Therefore, on the futon 2, the waist 4 of the old man 3
A care device 6, which constitutes the gist of this invention, is provided at a position corresponding to the region of the body and the buttocks 5. For example, a sealed air action bag 7 made of soft vinyl and having a hollow interior is used to care for the elderly. 3 waist 4
The hose 10 is made of vinyl and is connected to a predetermined portion of the sealed air action bag 7, and is located at a position corresponding to a handle portion 8 as a narrow portion relative to the buttocks 5 and a raised portion 9 as a wide portion relative to the buttocks 5. is connected to a well-known portable foot-operated air pump 11 provided on the side of the bed 1 to supply air.

Further, a well-known check valve 12 is interposed at a predetermined midway portion of the hose 10, as shown in FIG. It has a release valve switch 15,
While the air pump 11 is supplying air, the check valve body 13 and the release valve 16 are closed, and by pressing the release check valve switch 15 after the work is completed, the release valve 16 is closed.
is opened to allow air to be extracted from the air vent hole 14.

<Embodiment - Effect> In the above configuration, since the sealed air action bag 7 of the nursing care device 6 is normally in a contracted state and fits flat on the futon 2, there is no effect on the sleeping posture of the bedridden elderly person. There will be no impact and no pain will be caused.

When performing nursing care work such as caring for the child, the caregiver steps on the foot-operated air pump 11 to send air through the hose 10 and check valve 12 to the Yamoji-shaped sealed air action bag 7. It gradually expands and transforms.

Therefore, the sealed air action bag 7 is the first,
The flat state shown in Fig. 2 shifts to the inflated state shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and the handle part 8 of the waist part 4 of the sealed air action bag 7 in the shape of a shiyamoji swells slightly. , the lifting part 9 of the buttocks swells greatly,
The extent to which the elderly person's waist 4 and buttocks 5 are being lifted can be seen enough for a caregiver to visually observe.

Therefore, when the air pump 11 is stopped in a predetermined lifting position, the check valve body 13 of the check valve 12 and the release valve 16 are closed, so the air inside the sealed air action bag 7 flows backward. Therefore, the expanded state is maintained and the elderly person's waist 4 and buttocks 5 maintain their lifted state.

Therefore, the caregiver performs predetermined care work for the elderly person 3.

In this case, the caregiver can first put the sealed air action bag 7 on the waist 4 and buttocks 5 of the elderly person 3 and set it in the predetermined position accurately, thereby making it easier to protect the waist 4 of the elderly person during the nursing care work. The posture of the buttocks 5 and the buttocks 5 are optimized for nursing care work for the lower part.

Therefore, the care work performed by the caregiver is carried out smoothly and accurately, without soiling the futon 4, etc., and on the other hand, the elderly person 3 is able to do the work willingly without causing any pain. I can do it.

When the prescribed nursing care work is completed, the caregiver presses the release switch 15 of the check valve 12 of the hose 10 to release the release valve 1.
6 is opened, the air inside the sealed air action bag 7 is dissipated through the air vent hole 14, and the sealed air action bag 7 is smoothly contracted and returned to the initial flat state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. , the elderly man 3 can return to his normal sleeping position.

Note that although the above-mentioned embodiment is a care work for the elderly person 3, wiping and washing the elderly person 3 can also be performed in the same way. Since the lifting part 9 and the buttocks 5 are integrally shaped in a shayamoji shape, the handle part 8 forms a gentle slope with respect to the waist 4 of the elderly person 3, as shown in FIG. The prescribed nursing care work is carried out by the caregiver and the elderly 3.
This provides an extremely comfortable position for both parties.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the care device 6', the air pump 11' is an electric air pump, and the sealed air action bag 7' has a lifting part 9 for the buttocks 5 of the elderly person 3. Although it is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, a clamping portion 7' is formed to clamp the waist 4 of the elderly person 3 from both sides, and in the contracted and flat state, it does not affect the elderly person 3 in any way. When the air is supplied to the inflated state, the same parts of the elderly person 3 are lightly and softly pinched from both sides so that the waist 4 and buttocks 5 of the elderly person 3 are lifted to the side, and the elderly person 3 rolls to the side. This mode allows you to maintain your posture without causing any problems.

It goes without saying that the embodiment of this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, an electric air pump 11'
A remote control switch may be provided on the bed, and this may be placed in the hands of the elderly person 3, and in some cases, the elderly person 3 may be able to raise his or her hips on the bedclothes to obtain a comfortable posture whenever desired. It can be adopted, and as in the above-mentioned embodiment, bedridden elderly people 3
Various embodiments can be adopted, such as application not only to patients but also to seriously injured patients undergoing long-term treatment as described above.

Furthermore, it goes without saying that the check valve can be provided not only in the middle of the hose, but also in the sealed air action bag or on the pump side.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to this invention, it is possible to easily lift the lower back and buttocks of a bedridden elderly person or a critically ill patient undergoing long-term care during nursing care work such as caring for the patient. Because this can be done easily, it is possible to perform nursing care work in a comfortable position without causing physical pain or mental pain for elderly or critically ill patients. Furthermore, since the caregiver can accurately set the posture of the elderly person's waist and buttocks to the predetermined posture necessary for nursing care work, the care worker can perform the care work reliably and avoid soiling the bedding. This has the excellent effect of allowing work to be carried out smoothly.

The air-tight bag of the nursing care device is made of a flexible body, so when air is not supplied through the air pump, it shrinks flat and fits into bedding such as a futon, making it easy to sleep. It also has the excellent effect of not having any effect on the posture of elderly people, etc.

In addition, when performing nursing care work, the caregiver can use a switch or simply operate the air pump for a short time by stepping on the foot, etc., and the sealed air action bag can be expanded so that the narrow part for the waist and the wide part for the buttocks are integrated. The narrow part of the waist, such as the Shiyamoji-shaped sealed air action bag formed in the bag, swells slightly, and the wide part of the buttocks swells greatly, reducing bedsores and the like, allowing the user to be lifted up.
Further, after the prescribed nursing care work is completed, by opening the check valve, the air inside the sealed air cushion bag can be easily evacuated and the elderly person can return to his normal sleeping position, which is an excellent effect.

Furthermore, according to the nursing care device of this invention, it is possible not only to provide basic care to the elderly, but also to wipe and wash the body of the elderly, which has beneficial effects such as helping to maintain a healthy and clean life. is also played.

Furthermore, by wrapping the air-tight air action bag in a soft cloth or the like, a secondary effect can be achieved, such as warming the waist of an elderly person while sleeping.

Furthermore, since the nursing care device of this invention is lightweight and portable, it is easy to carry and can not only be kept on one bed at all times, but also placed on the waist of an elderly person as needed for nursing care work. It also has the advantage that one unit can be provided for multiple elderly people, such as by setting it under a person's home.

Furthermore, since the structure is simple, the manufacturing cost does not increase, and there is also an advantage that no maintenance such as maintenance, inspection, etc. is required.

In addition, even if the sealed air action bag becomes dirty unexpectedly, the hose can be easily removed from the sealed air action bag and washing can be easily performed, so that it can be kept in a clean state at all times. .
