Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a body support device used when changing the diaper of a bedridden elderly person.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

When changing the diaper of a bedridden elderly person, the person usually stands up, lifts the upper body of the person and lifts the buttocks, or conversely, lifts the lower body and performs the diaper change process, so at least two people are required to change the diaper. This had the disadvantage that it required a person to help, and it took a lot of time to replace it.

[Purpose of invention]

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a body support device which eliminates the above-mentioned inconvenience and allows a single attendant to perform tasks such as changing diapers extremely easily.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a support for supporting the upper body, which is provided with an inner cushion material of a rectangular frame, and has a recess formed in the lower side material of the frame into which the waist can fit; The leg cradle is arranged opposite to the base, one end of the connecting plate is connected to one side of the leg cradle, and the other end of the connecting plate is connected to the side of the support pedestal. The support stand, leg pedestal, and connecting plate were connected to each other in a U-shaped arrangement.

[Effect]

Raise the upper body of a bedridden man, place the above-mentioned support stand on the back of the old man by inserting it from the side of the old man, position the leg rest below the bottom of the legs, and then lower the upper body. By supporting the upper body on the support stand and receiving the lower body on the leg rest, the lower back is supported by the recessed part of the lower sap material, so the buttocks naturally rise, making it possible to easily change the diaper.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

As shown in the figure, the body support device according to this invention is
It consists of a combination of a support stand 1 that supports the upper body, a leg holder 10 that supports the bottom of the legs, a connecting plate 20 that connects the two stands 1 and 10, and a pillow stand 30 that supports the head.

The support stand 1 includes a rectangular frame 2, and an arc-shaped recess 4 into which a waist portion can fit is formed above and below a lower sap member 3 of the frame 2. Further, a cushion material 5 is provided inside the frame body 2. moreover,
One of the side frames 6 of the pair of side frames 6, 6 of the frame body 2
is longer than the other side frame 6, and an insertion hole 7 that opens at the end face is formed in one side frame 6, and a pin insertion hole 8 that penetrates from one side to the other side is provided.

In the case of the embodiment, the leg holder 10 has a plate shape,
Arc-shaped recesses 11 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the leg holder 10 to receive the legs. One end of the connecting plate 20 is fixed to one side of the leg holder 10. The connecting plate 20 is removably inserted into the insertion hole 7 of the side frame 6, and the pin insertion hole 8 is one of the plurality of holes 21 formed at equal intervals in the length direction of the connecting plate 20. A pin 22 is inserted into the communication portion to prevent the connecting plate 20 from coming off. For this reason,
By pulling out the pin 22 and sliding the connecting plate 20, the distance between the support stand 1 and the leg holder 10 can be adjusted. After adjustment, by inserting the pin 22, the leg holder 10 can be adjusted. It can be fixed in the adjusted position.

The pillow base 30 has a plate shape, and an arc-shaped recess 31 is provided at the upper edge thereof. This pillow stand 30 includes a pair of arms 32, 32, and the arm 32
A notch 33 formed at the tip of the support base 1 is removably engaged with the upper sap member 9 of the support base 1.

The body support device shown in the embodiment has the above-described structure, and when changing the diaper of a bedridden elderly person, the upper body of the elderly person is supported on the support stand 1, and the lower legs are supported on the leg rest 10.

Now, as shown in FIG. 4, by raising the upper body of the bedridden elderly person, the holder can be inserted from the side of the elderly person. By inserting it,
After placing the support stand 1 on the back of the elderly person and placing the leg rest 10 below the legs, the upper body of the elderly person is laid down on the support stand 1, so that the lower back is supported by the recess 4 of the lower sap material 3. Since the legs are supported by the leg holder 10, the buttocks of an elderly person can be rested on the support surface as shown in FIG.

The diaper is changed while the buttocks are lifted up.

Note that in order to stabilize the floating state of the buttocks, the support base 1 and the upper body and the leg pedestal 10 and the legs may be tied together with strings.

As in the embodiment, recesses 4 are formed on the upper and lower edges of the lower sap material 3, recesses 11 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the leg holder 10, and the bed base 30 is made detachable from the support base 1. Therefore, the body holder according to this invention can be used from both sides, and can be inserted from either the right side or the left side of the elderly person.

Further, although the connecting plate 20 is slidably connected to the support stand 1, it may be connected to the leg holder 10 so as to be slidable.

In the case of the embodiment, the explanation was given using diaper changing as an example, but if you place your feet on the leg rests 10 while your upper body is lying on the support stand 1, your buttocks will rise further, so the You can also place a toilet bowl and use it to defecate.

〔effect〕

As described above, this invention has a U-shaped arrangement of the support stand, leg pedestals, and connecting plate, so by raising the upper body of the elderly person and inserting it from the side of the elderly person, it is possible to support the elderly person's back. A support stand can be placed at the bottom of the sap, and a leg holder can be positioned below the bottom of the legs.In such an inserted state, when the upper body of an elderly person is tilted, the lower back will be supported by the concave part of the lower sapwood, and the buttocks will move naturally. Because the diaper floats up, changing the diaper can be done very easily by one person. Moreover, since the structure is simple and does not use a driving device in which the support base and the leg pedestal are connected by a connecting plate, it is possible to provide a holder that is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.

As in the embodiment, by slidably connecting either the support stand and the connecting plate or the leg holder and the connecting plate, the interval between the support stand and the leg holder can be adjusted as desired. , the support stand and leg rests can be placed at appropriate positions according to the size of the body.
