Description

Guardrail with crutch function

The invention relates to a guardrail with the function of a crutch, and in particular, to a structure in which the guardrail can be removed and used as a crutch.

Taiwan's population will enter a super-aged society. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people will be over 65 years old in 2025. By 2034, more than half of the country will be middle-aged or older people over 50 years old.

Therefore, the long-term care policy and the development of software and hardware of various assistive devices are extremely urgent. Among them, the most important one for patients receiving home care is the bed, which is used one-third of the time every day and is related to sleep quality. Since the elderly and patients are most afraid of falling accidents, in addition to the function of beds to prevent them from turning over and falling during sleep, they often also need crutches to assist them when walking. However, the bed frames used by ordinary people in their homes do not have guardrail structures. At this time, it is often necessary to spend money and space to purchase an additional hospital bed. Not only is it an additional burden for the patient, but there may not be suitable space at home to place another hospital bed, especially for patients who only have short-term care needs. For patients, it is even more distressing.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the inventor deeply feels that it is extremely important and practical to design a guardrail that can be applied to general bed frames, and if additional functions can be developed through innovative structural design, it will increase patients' willingness to purchase. Therefore, with many years of experience in caring for patients, we actively developed and improved it. After careful consideration of all conditions, we finally created this structure, which can completely solve all the problems of conventional use.

The present invention is a guardrail with the function of a crutch. The guardrail is mainly composed of a first C-shaped clamp and a second C-shaped clamp matched with a T-shaped crutch. The first C-shaped clamp has a quick-release seat tube bundle on the back side, and the second C-shaped clamp has a quick-release seat tube bundle on the back side. The back side of the two C-shaped clips is provided with a base plate corresponding to the bottom surface of the quick-release seat tube bundle, and the horizontal end of the T-shaped crutch is connected to a telescopic tube, and the inward side of one section is pivoted through a pivot shaft to be in a rotatable state. , therefore after implementation it will provide the following performance:

Since the guardrail with crutch function of the present invention is composed of the first C-shaped clamp and the second C-shaped clamp combined with the T-shaped crutch, the structural design is very simple and only needs to be fixed to the bed frame with the first and second C-shaped clamps. On the side of the bed board, the vertical end of the T-shaped crutch is directly inserted through the first C-type clamp quick-release seat tube bundle against the ground, and the end section of the telescopic tube at the horizontal end is rotated and inserted into the second C-type clamp quick-release seat. Separately fixed in the seat tube bundle, the purpose of forming a guardrail can be quickly achieved. Therefore, the first and second C-shaped clips can be adjusted at any time according to the size of the bed frame at home for fixation and position adjustment, so that the guardrail can block and prevent the patient from turning over during sleep. An accident after falling off the bed.

With the guardrail of the present invention, after the patient gets up, the T-shaped crutch can be separated and taken out through the quick-release seat tube bundles of the first and second C-shaped clamps (to facilitate patient entry and exit), and the telescopic tube at the horizontal end of the T-shaped crutch needs only to be retracted and returned to its original position. It can be used as a general crutch, providing patients with convenience when assisting in walking.

The vertical end of the T-shaped crutch of the present invention has a height adjustment function (it can have common conventional designs such as latches or locking positions), and a telescopic tube design is attached to the horizontal end, and is attached to the inward side of one section. It is pivoted through the pivot shaft and is in a rotatable state. Therefore, when the T-shaped crutch is fixed by the quick-release seat tubes of the first and second C-shaped clamps, the vertical end of the T-shaped crutch forming the guardrail can withstand the pulling force of the patient and facilitate getting up. Because the horizontal end and the end of the telescopic tube are both in a fixed state (the bottom plate is against the end of the telescopic tube), they also have a certain strength to withstand the external force used in operation.

In order to enable the examiner to clearly understand the structural composition of the present invention and the functional benefits it can achieve, the remaining examples are listed in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed description is as follows:

The present invention is a guardrail with the function of a crutch. The guardrail 10 is mainly composed of a first C-shaped clamp 1 and a second C-shaped clamp 2 in conjunction with a T-shaped crutch 3 (as shown in Figures 1 and 2), in which the first C The back side of the type clamp 1 has a quick-release seat tube bundle 11, and the back side of the second C-shaped clamp 2 is provided with a base plate 22 corresponding to the bottom surface of its quick-release seat tube bundle 21, and the horizontal end 31 of the T-shaped crutch 3 is a telescopic tube 311, and the retracted side of one section is pivoted through the pivot shaft 312 to be in a rotatable state, so that the first and second C-shaped clamps 1 and 2 can be fixed to the side of the bed board 41 of the bed frame 4 in a T-shape The vertical end 32 of the crutch 3 is directly inserted through the quick-release seat tube bundle 11 of the first C-shaped clamp 1 against the ground, and the end section of the telescopic tube 311 of the horizontal end 31 is rotated through the pivot shaft 312 and inserted into the second C-shaped The clips 2 are respectively fixed in the quick release seat tube bundle 21 to achieve the purpose of forming the guardrail 10 (as shown in Figure 3).

It can be seen from the above structural composition that the guardrail 10 of the present invention is composed of a T-shaped crutch 3 that can be removed and used at any time, and the first and second C-shaped clips 1 and 2 fixed to the bed board 41. Therefore, the T-shaped crutch 3 can be used by the patient to perform the function of a general crutch at ordinary times to achieve the purpose of assisting walking. When the patient walks to the bedside and wants to rest, the vertical end 32 of the T-shaped crutch 3 can be directly passed through the first A C-type clamp 1 quick-release seat tube bundle 11 is inserted until the bottom touches the ground, and then the telescopic tube 311 located inside the horizontal end 31 is pulled out (the last section of the telescopic tube 311 is designed to have a length protruding outside the horizontal end 31 (As shown in Figure 2), the entire length of the telescopic tube 311 can be easily stretched out), and the end section of the telescopic tube 311 is urged to rotate downward through the pivot shaft 312, so that the end section of the telescopic tube 311 can be inserted The second C-type clamp 2 is inserted into the quick-release seat tube bundle 21 and is pushed against by the bottom plate 22 (as shown in Figure 4). At this time, T is fixed with the quick-release seat tube bundles 11 and 21 of the first and second C-type clamps 1 and 2. The crutch 3 can quickly form the guardrail 10 beside the bed, and eliminates the need for additional storage of crutches (generally, when crutches are placed near the bed for easy access, they can easily fall due to bumping).

From the above further detailed description, it can be understood that the composition position of the guardrail 10 of the present invention can be changed at any time according to the patient's use needs, as long as the first and second C-shaped clamps 1, 2 and the fixed position of the bed board 41 of the bed frame 4 are relatively adjusted and displaced. That's it, and the height of the guardrail 10 can also be changed by adjusting the length of the vertical end 32 of the T-shaped crutch 3 (as shown in Figure 5, it can have common conventional length adjustment designs such as snaps or locking positions), so that it can It is more suitable for each patient's body shape or usage needs, so that the guardrail 10 can provide safety for the patient to prevent him from turning over and falling under the bed while sleeping. Moreover, since the bottom of the vertical end 32 of the T-shaped crutch 3 constituting the guardrail 10 is against the ground, it can stably withstand the pulling force of the patient and facilitate getting up (therefore, it is generally recommended that the vertical end 32 of the T-shaped crutch 3 of the guardrail 10 is located close to the patient's head. direction), and because the horizontal end 31 and the end section of the telescopic tube 311 are both in a fixed state (the bottom plate 22 abuts the end of the telescopic tube 311), it also has a certain strength to withstand the external force used in operation. Let the simple guardrail 10 structure It also provides a crutch function that can be easily accessed and stored at any time, which eliminates the trouble and cost of purchasing a hospital bed for patients.
