Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an air lumbar pillow used for nursing a bedridden patient.

Traditionally, changing diapers and cleaning the body of sick people, such as bedridden elderly people, has been done while they are lying on their backs or on their sides, but it is not nursing care to lift a bedridden person's waist or turn them sideways. For people, especially women, it is very hard work, especially changing diapers several times a day.
It is very hard work, and there is a problem in that it adds to the fatigue caused by nursing.

This idea was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to simplify nursing operations by inserting a rod-shaped air pillow under the patient's waist and inflating it to lift the patient's waist. It is.

The first embodiment of this invention is shown below in Figures 1 and 2.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

The air lumbar pillow A is mainly composed of an insertion plate 1 and an air pillow 2.

The insertion plate 1 is a flat plate made of a slippery material such as synthetic resin and has a width of about 7 cm and a length of about 50 cm.The tip is formed in the shape of a slightly curved ski with a semicircular plane. A rounded rectangular hooking hole 3 is drilled as a hooking part for hooking the belt, and the rear end 1b is also slightly curved upward and has a large rounded rectangular gripping hole 4 as a gripping part. is perforated, and the rear end is a rounded square shape.

The air pillow 2 has a semi-cylindrical shape and is mounted on the surface of the insertion plate 1 by adhesive or the like.The air pillow 2 serves as a front hooking part by attaching a hooking hole 3 to a front joint part 2b extending long from the tip of the pillow part 2a. A hooking tool 2e to be hooked on the inner side is fixedly attached, and as a rear gripping part, a rear joint part 2c is extended from the rear end to cover the entire rear end part 1b of the insertion plate 1 and integrated. A hole 2d is formed to match the gripping hole 4 so that the gripping hole 2d can be bonded to the gripping hole 4. An air pipe 5 is provided at the rear end of the pillow part 2a, and a three-way cock 6 for controlling air supply and exhaust is connected to the end of the air pipe 5. The passageway of the pot 6 is three-way: an air supply part 6a communicating with the tip _P2 of the discharge pipe _P1 of the air pump P, an air pipe part 6b supplying and exhausting air to the pillow part 2a, and an exhaust part 6c opening to the atmosphere. It has been branched into. In addition, the air supply section 6
A check valve 7 is installed between a and the tip _P2 . (See FIG. 2) The air pump P may be a manual pump, a foot pump, a bicycle pump, or the like.

Next, we will explain how to use it.

The nurse holds the air lumbar pillow A with her fingers inserted into the grip hole 4 integrated with the rear joint part 2c of the air pillow 2, with the three-way handle 6 switched from the air pipe part 6b to the exhaust part 6c. Insert it into the gap between the mattress and the mattress under the small of the waist of the patient M who is lying on his back, and stop after passing it through to the other side. Therefore, the air passage of the three-way cockpit 6 was switched from the air supply part 6a to the air pipe part 6b,
By operating the air pump P attached to the air supply section 6a in advance by connecting the tip _P2 via the check valve 7, the air pillow 2 is inflated and acts as a jack to push the patient's waist up and place the buttocks on the mattress. After floating, the three-way pot 6 is switched to the state where the air pipe portion 6b is closed. However, since the air in the air supply section 6a is prevented from flowing backward by the check valve 7, the three-way cock 6 may be left as it is without being operated.

Therefore, the nurse places a rug such as a waterproof cover under the patient's buttocks and performs procedures such as changing diapers. When the treatment is completed, the three-way cot 6 is switched from the air pipe section 6b to the exhaust section 6c, and the air pillow 2 is exhausted and deflated by the weight of the patient M, and the patient's body returns to its original state in contact with the mattress, allowing nursing care to be performed. A person holds the grip hole 4 and pulls out the air lumbar pillow A from below the waist of the patient M. At this time, since the hole 2d of the air pillow 2 matches the gripping hole 4, the air pillow 2 is pulled out at the rear joint portion 2c, and therefore does not separate from the insertion plate 1.

Furthermore, the engagement hole 3 at the tip 1a of the insertion plate 1 can be conveniently used to set the position of the insertion plate 1 from the opposite side of insertion. Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be explained based on FIGS. 3 and 4.

In this embodiment, a belt B is attached to the air lumbar pillow A of the first embodiment.

Belt B has a buckle _B2 for adjusting the length in the middle of band _B1 , and has J-shaped latches at both ends.
It is combined with B ₃ and B ₄ .

In order to facilitate nursing treatment according to the physical strength of patient M, a belt B ₁ is attached as shown in Figure 4.
The hooking hole 3 and the gripping hole 4 of the insertion plate 1 inserted below the waist hold down the thigh or bent leg of the patient M.
After hooking the latches B ₃ and B ₄ of the belt B, the belt B ₁
Secure the patient's lower body by lightly tightening it with buckle B ₂ .

Note that an elastic rubber band may be used as the band _B1 . Next, a third embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIG. 5.

In this embodiment, a cover C is attached to make it easier to insert the air lumbar pillow A of the first embodiment below the waist.

The cover C is a flat plate made of a material such as synthetic resin and has almost the same size and shape as the insertion plate ₁ , and has no warpage at both the front and rear ends C ₁ and C ₃ . Form a bag part C ₂ so as to cover the front end, and
C ₃ has a gripping hole C ₄ corresponding to gripping hole 4 of the insertion plate 1.
is drilled there.

Prior to inserting the air lumbar pillow A, the bag portion C ₂ of the cover C is placed over the front end of the insertion plate 1, and the air pillow 2 is supported by the cover C, and the grip hole C ₄ is overlapped with the grip hole 4. The insertion plate 1 and the cover C are inserted under the patient's waist in a state where they are integrally overlapped. After the cover C is set at the desired position, the cover C is removed in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, and then air is injected. Cover C is used when removing air from air pillow 2 and removing air lumbar pillow A after nursing work.
does not need to be used.

As explained above, this device has a structure in which a semi-cylindrical air pillow is mounted on an insertion plate made of a slippery material, making it easy to perform procedures such as changing diapers for bedridden elderly and other sick people. The patient's buttocks can be lifted off the mattress by the operation, which not only relieves nurses from heavy labor but also allows them to carry out nursing tasks quickly and easily.

In addition, the patient himself/herself feels comfortable because his/her waist is pushed up by the air pillow, and it is also easy to turn the patient's body sideways, which also has the advantage that it does not cause pain to patients with bedsores.
