Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a silver-type living facility and furniture furniture which provide a living space in which the physical strength of a resident is considered.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Residential facilities basically have various considerations in order to provide a relaxing place to heal physical and mental fatigue in daily life and to relax slowly. There are various classes, types, and purposes, so there are various considerations for the contents of facilities and residents.

For example, residential facilities can be divided into ordinary single-family houses and apartments, and even apartments can be divided into various types such as residential condominiums, hotels, resort condominiums, recreation facilities, etc. It can be divided into type and stay type (long stay type, short stay type).

From a qualitative point of view, one of the residential facilities has a function-oriented or simplified one for real life, and the other one is luxurious, heavy, and has a sense of mass. The high-class ones with improved quality are compared.

Further, from the viewpoint of living form, in the case of permanent residence, the structure is considered mainly in daily life, and in the case of long-term stay type and short-term stay type such as resort condominiums, hotels, etc. Consideration has been given to the composition for service, refreshment, and rest, for example, depending on the length of stay and purpose rather than real life.

Therefore, in a residential facility, the structure and size of the room, the layout, the furniture, and the like are variously configured according to each type, type of living, purpose of living, and according to the class of the resident. Has been adopted.

[0007] In particular, in high-class residential facilities, of course, sufficient space, easy-to-use space, and easy-to-use furniture and furnishings are provided so that the residents can be qualitatively satisfied. In all respects, due to its luxuriousness, profoundness, and sense of mass, careful consideration has been given to give residents a relaxed and rich feeling of living. In that respect, it provides facilities for residents to take care of themselves, and also gives residents a dream.

[0008]

However, in the conventional living facilities, as the class becomes higher as described above, it is sure that luxury, weight, sense of mass, function and ease of use,
Although it has been comprehensively considered from various aspects such as simplification, in the end, even the human safety and stability, kindness, and comfort to the daily life of the occupants will be maintained. There is a problem in that it cannot be said that the design is one that has been consistently considered and is well adapted to the daily life behavior pattern.

That is, although the conventional way of thinking about living facilities is certainly designed as a space for living, eating, and living of the resident in accordance with these activities of the resident, each is based on a completely individual and unique design concept. This is because the configurations based on the respective design ideas are mixed, not organically linked.

Considering the action cycle of daily life, for example, first, there are actions such as changing clothes, washbasin, cooking / meal, resting, entertainment, excretion, bathing, and sleeping. These living spaces are bedroom, dining room, living room. , The reception room, etc. are designed, and the furniture furniture items required for each are selected and arranged.

Conventionally, for example, cooking and
For the behavior of the meal, the kitchen, the dining room, the storage space for the cooker and the tableware, the table and chairs, etc. were arranged individually and corresponded to the behavior itself. Moreover, of course, there are people who cook and eat as a premise, but a so-called continuous behavior pattern is assumed from the beginning to the end of each one of these actions and the next action that continues further. However, it cannot be said that the safety, stability, kindness, and comfort for the occupants along the flow line connecting them are taken into consideration.

According to Japan's population statistics for the elderly in 1991, the number of elderly people over the age of 65 has already exceeded 12.5% of the total population of 15 million people, and 650,000 elderly people have been present in the past year. It has increased. In an environment that is accelerating toward an aging society in this way, in particular, the safety, stability, kindness, and comfort of the elderly can be adjusted in response to the actual decline in physical strength and disability. There is a strong demand for residential facilities that take into consideration such factors.

Consider, for example, consideration for meals. Meals can be considered centered around a dining table and chairs, but in conventional living facilities, the dining table is one that can arrange enough dishes according to the number of members, and the chair is one that allows you to sit and eat comfortably. After that, these are selected according to each taste, class, etc. Certainly, conventional dining tables and chairs are also offered in various shapes, sizes, and designs, but these are the result of consideration given to so-called preference.

However, particularly when considering the elderly, consideration can be given to the table and chairs so that a part of the body can be left as a support when sitting and taking a seat, considering before and after eating. Care must be taken to ensure a natural flow line when accessing, and also to assist the assisting person when accessing, even if assisting the person or using a wheelchair. However, conventionally, such a resident has not been considered in particular, and detailed consideration such as safety, stability, kindness, and comfort in continuous living activities has not been given. This is the layout,
This is true for all materials and others.

As described above, in the case of the elderly, consideration should be given to the movement lines and service movement lines in all the actions of daily activities, such as standing, sitting, and sleeping, which are continuous in the action process. It is particularly required to construct a living space that is consistently, appropriately and organically combined, but the problem is that it cannot be said that such a viewpoint has been sufficiently incorporated in conventional living facilities. There is.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a rich and comfortable silver-type living facility and furniture furniture that considers the safety, stability, and kindness of the elderly to the behavior of daily life. The purpose is to provide goods.

[0017]

To this end, the present invention is a silver-type living facility that provides a living space in which the resident's physical strength is reduced, and the movement line of the resident is assumed. The layout of the furniture is designed with consideration given to the actions of residents and assistants, and the top and edges of furniture and furniture are set with large chamfers and radii, and the height of tables and chairs is set low, and seats are separated. In this case, the part to be supported is set to a low height and is made of a material and a thickness that makes it easy to grip the edges. It is characterized by having done.

Further, the furniture furniture for silver type living facilities of the present invention has a top and an edge set with a large chamfer and a radius to set the height to a low level, and becomes a support target when taking a seat away. It is characterized in that the parts are set to have a low height, the ends are made of a thickness and material that can be easily grasped, and a space for introducing the wheelchair legs when approaching is provided.

[0019]

In the silver-type living facility and furniture furnishings of the present invention, the furniture furnishings are laid out in consideration of the actions of the resident, the assistant and the caregiver along the flow line where the resident is supposed to move. The top and edges are set with large chamfers and radii, and the height of the table or chair is set low, while the part to be supported is set to a low height when gripping the edges. Since it is made of a material and thickness that is easy to use, even if physical strength is reduced or assistance is needed, a suitable flow line and space can be secured to ensure a safe, stable and kind living space. Can be provided. Further, by adopting a layout and furniture furniture in consideration of the use of the wheelchair, the locus, it is possible to continue the conventional life without any special consideration even in the life where the wheelchair is needed.

[0020]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of a silver type living facility of the present invention, where 1 is a dining table,
2 is a dining chair, 3 is a long sofa, L is the service flow line of the resident, and H is the service flow line of the assistant.

As shown in FIG. 1, the silver-type living facility of the present invention has a layout in consideration of service flow lines L, H, etc. required when the resident is an elderly person, and furniture in the same space. The division of the area using is to consider in the basic plan that the space can be used widely and flexibly for various purposes. That is, in a silver-type living facility where the main resident is an elderly person, there is often a decline in physical strength among healthy people, or during times when their health is not good or on a daily basis, assisting or caring for a third party (assistant, etc.). Etc. are required, and some residents need wheelchairs. Therefore, the service flow line L of the resident,
By providing a layout that considers the service flow line H of the assistant and the service flow line of the wheelchair (not shown), a living space that can cope with such changes is provided.

Further, in FIG. 1, a dining table 1, a dining chair 2 and a long sofa 3 as furniture fittings installed in a living space are each a normal form as furniture fittings for the elderly, but are safe. , The stability is ensured, and consideration is given to facilitate various actions of users and assistants. For this reason, we have consistently adopted a design centered on curved surfaces throughout the furniture centering on furniture placed on the flow line where residents are supposed to move, and box furniture has large corners with a large radius. To do. And
The details of table tops of furniture in general and the top plate edges of consoles and boards are set with large chamfers and large radii, and the edges of wood and other materials are chamfered. Furthermore, the height relationship of the furniture as a whole is set to be lower than that of a normal scale, and the thick portion is set to a material that is not slippery and easy to fit in the hand and that is easy to grasp.

FIG. 2 shows a more specific embodiment of the dining table and chair according to the present invention in consideration of the above. The feature of this dining table is that the base 15 at the bottom is given a weight, and even if a part of the weight is added to the edge of the table top by putting a hand on the edge of the table top at the time of taking the seat away, a sufficiently stable state can be maintained. That is, a large steel plate is used. Then, the height of the top plate 11 and the support columns 14 should be low so that the user can reach the end of the table top naturally and support a part of the weight when taking a seat. The thicknesses and materials of the top plate 11 and the edge member 12, the chamfers of the table tops A and B, and the radii are set so that it can be firmly gripped. In addition, by arranging the leg post 14 in the middle, the same smooth auxiliary movement from any position on the table can be achieved.
I am able to approach. Further, the base 15 of the steel plate, the pillar 14 of the leg, and the steel plate 13 at the upper end thereof are integrated, and the top plate 11 is fixed to the steel plate 13 at the upper end to maintain safety and stability. is doing.

On the other hand, the characteristic of the chair is that casters 18 are attached to the front legs 16 of the pair of front legs 16 and rear legs 17, respectively. As a result, the rear leg 1
Raise 7 lightly to make it easier to turn left and right,
The chair can be easily pulled and pushed from behind the assisting side. Further, the height of the arm 19 is set low so that the body can be supported by the arm top when seated in the same manner as the table top, and the material and thickness of the arm top are firmly gripped without slipping. Set it to be easy. Further, the height of the seat 21 is also set low so that a stable feeling when seated can be maintained.

The materials and textures of furniture furniture as described above are centered on soft and warm wood that sways on the skin, avoiding shiny and hard materials to produce softness by surface treatment, and fabric to adjust the appearance.・ Considering comfort and safety, we will create a resort feeling by quality and prints, and adopt vinyl processing in areas where higher antifouling and antibacterial properties are required.

As described above, the dining table and the chair are not only used for sitting and eating, but especially for elderly people, when taking a seat before and after the seat, an approach along the flow line for that purpose is used. Careful consideration is required including consideration and assistance. As a result of this consideration, it is possible to facilitate the approach to the close range of the table when seating, as described above, and it is possible to provide a safe and stable dining set when seating. By setting a space that guarantees these flow lines, it is possible to provide a space for the entire living facility including the dining room and the like, with careful consideration for safety, stability, kindness, comfort, and the like.

Furthermore, in the housing for the elderly when the present invention is applied to a common living facility, the following consideration is given with the elderly in mind.

A large number of armchairs, for example, are arranged at the corners, corners, and passages of all residents to assist walking, and in waiting spaces such as elevator halls, sofas are arranged to keep the body Secure a place to lie in the event of upsets, fatigue, or tension.

The point furniture arranged in various places of the common area is designed so that it can be flexibly used as a display of flowers and works of residents.
In terms of lighting, a variety of rhythmic lighting that incorporates a lot of natural lighting as well as soft indirect lighting, each area
Effectively arrange table lamps, floor lamps, etc. to create an atmosphere in each corner.

Regarding signs and graphics as well, considering that it is for the elderly, the characters are set to be large in size,
We will develop designs based on keywords and theme motifs based on the building concept to realize highly visible guidance and display.

In the production of comfort and relaxation as a house, many plants are placed while avoiding sharp or hard ones that are the basis of injury.

It is assumed that a soft and calm living space is constructed based on the interior color based on a warm color hue with a relatively high lightness, and the building as a house is to be characterized and decorated by the resident. The basic appearance is set as the shelter. The floors are color-coded to make residents aware of their "floor" and set the main concept color in line with the architectural concept to provide total color coordination throughout the building.

Further, another embodiment of the furniture furniture used in the silver type living facility of the present invention will be described. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a long sofa, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a center table, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing detailed setting examples of table tops and legs of furniture in general, and FIG. 6 is a bookboard. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a sideboard, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a sideboard.

In the long sofa, as in the case of the dining chair, as shown in FIG. 3, the height of the arm 31 is set to be low so that the body can be supported by the arm top when taking a seat. The position of the leg 32 is set immediately below such a point, and the material and thickness of the arm top are set so that they can be firmly gripped without slipping, and safety and stability are maintained. In addition, in all chairs, the fabric is stretched out to give a soft fit to parts such as hands that are easy to touch. The height of the seat 33 is also set low so as to maintain a stable feeling when seated. Chair tension is consistently set to be stiffer than usual throughout the chair to reduce fatigue when sitting (especially for long periods of time).

In the center table, as shown in FIG. 4, in the public area as a public place, the shape of the top plate 41 as furniture placed on the flow line is an ellipse or an ellipse,
Consistently developed with a curve centered design to maintain safety.

The edges of the table tops of general furniture and the top plates of console boards in the present invention are shown in FIG.
52, 53, (b) and (c), the outer edge material of the top plate 51 is subjected to a large chamfering process. Further, the legs are also chamfered at the corners and bottom as shown in (a) vertical cross section of 54, cross section of 55, and floor of 56.

Also in the book board and the side board, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the corner edges are set to have large radii such as 62 and 72, and placed on the flow line in a public area as a public place. Consideration is given to safety as furniture that can be worn.

In the living facilities for the elderly, it is inevitable that the number of occupants in which wheelchairs are indispensable for daily activities temporarily or on a daily basis becomes inevitable depending on the health of the legs and waist. Therefore, consideration must be given to residents using wheelchairs in residential facilities for the elderly. The following is an example of furniture furniture that considers such residents. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a wardrobe for a resident who uses a wheelchair, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state when the closet is used, and FIG. 10 is an example of an appearance for a resident who uses a wheelchair. FIG. 11 and FIG. 11 are views showing an embodiment of a high-back chair that facilitates movement from a wheelchair.

The closet shown in FIG. 8 has a front door 81,
Storage part 84 in the storage room 82, wheelchair leg introduction space 8
6 has been given consideration for residents who use wheelchairs. That is, when trying to access the closet while sitting on the wheelchair, first, the wheelchair legs hit the lower part of the closet, so that the front door 81 cannot be opened or closed. Therefore, by providing a wheelchair leg introduction space 86 so that the wheelchair leg can be introduced under the closet as shown in FIG. 9,
The wheelchair legs can be approached to a position where the front door 81 can be opened and closed without getting in the way.

Further, in the case of a normal opening door, a certain space is required on the front surface for opening and closing the door, and therefore, it is necessary to retract once when opening and closing the door. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the front door 81 is laterally folded and opened and closed so that the front door 81 can be opened and closed without moving backward in front of the front door 81. I am able to

Further, in the case of a normal resident, the hands can be freely reached from the top to the bottom by stretching or bending, but in the case of a wheelchair, there is almost no vertical width, and As shown in FIG. 9, the storage section 84 in the storage chamber 82 is accessed by swinging the arm around the shoulder and slightly bending the waist forward. Therefore, the depth of the storage portion 84 is set in correspondence with the trajectory of the tip of the hand so that the storage portion 84 can be easily accessed.

Therefore, according to the closet of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to approach the front with a wheelchair and open / close the front door 81 and access the storage portion 84 at that position.

The appearance shown in FIG. 10 is made up of a front mirror 91 and an upper mirror 92 having an adjustable tilt angle above the front mirror 91 for consideration of a occupant using a wheelchair. It is one of the important requirements for living in a richer communal community, even if the resident is no different from other healthy people in everyday life except using a wheelchair. Since the full-length mirror reflects the appearance of oneself from various angles and adjusts the appearance, the upper mirror 92 can be used when the appearance is adjusted in consideration of the line of sight of a healthy person who does not use a wheelchair. Needless to say, it is more desirable to consider the inclination angle so that it can be adjusted by providing a chain, a link mechanism, or an electric mechanism, which is not shown.

Further, since there are cases where it is desired to approach as much as possible even in the appearance, a wheelchair leg introducing space may be provided as in the case of the closet so as to be closer to the front of the mirror. Moreover, in this case, when the angle adjusting operation section is provided beside the front mirror 91, the position of the full-length mirror can be changed in the perspective direction while performing the angle adjustment.

It should be noted that, in a normal height appearance, FIG.
As shown in Fig. 7, if the occupant sitting in a wheelchair is divided into a front mirror 91 and a upper mirror 92 at a position slightly higher than the overhead, and the tilt of the upper mirror 92 can be adjusted, not only the occupants who use the wheelchair Even when a person who does not need to use a wheelchair or a resident (a healthy person) who does not use a wheelchair, it can be used as a normal figure by setting the inclination angle of the upper mirror 92 to 0 °.

In the high back chair shown in FIG. 11, a seat 96 is fan-shaped to provide high backs 97 extending from both sides of the seat 96 to both sides, and casters 98 are attached to the bottom to facilitate movement and rotation, thereby making a wheelchair. It is easy for people to move from, and is designed for occupants using wheelchairs. When an occupant moves from a wheelchair to a chair, for example, a normal rectangular chair placed indoors with the assistance of an assistant, the wheelchair is placed side by side or facing the chair to which the wheelchair is moved, and then the robot moves in parallel or turns 180 °. To sit down and change seats. In this case, if the moving distance or the direction of change is large, it becomes unstable when changing the seat, and there is a problem in safety and stability. Also, since the armrests become an obstacle when changing seats, using a chair with only a backrest makes the sitting condition of the chair unstable after moving to the chair.

Therefore, in the high back chair of the present invention,
By adopting a fan-shaped sheet 96 and a high back 97 extending around a main part, it has a large directional property, and a caster 98 is attached to improve mobility and rotatability. That is, since the high back 97 extends to both sides from the fan-shaped seat 96 and the essential portion, it is possible to maintain a stable sitting comfort even if the seat is seated at the center in the figure and the orientation is changed to some extent to both sides. it can.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but various modifications can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, the furniture furniture such as a table, a chair, a bookboard, a sideboard, a closet, and a full-length mirror has been described, but it is needless to say that the same consideration is given to other interior fixtures and decorations. Is. In addition, although the explanation has been made by taking the elderly living facility as an example, it is needless to say that the present invention can be similarly applied to a general residential facility, a short-term hotel with nursing care, a nursing home, and other facilities.

[0049]

As described above, according to the present invention, the furniture is laid out in consideration of the assistance of the actions of the resident and the assistant along the flow line where the movement of the resident is assumed. Sets the top and edges with large chamfers and radii, and sets the height of the table or chair to a low level, and when supporting the seat, sets the height of the support target area to a low level to grip the edges. Since it is made of a material and thickness that is easy to do, even if physical strength is reduced or assistance is needed, the appropriate line of activity and space can be secured, safety, stability, and living behavior of the resident. It is possible to provide a kind and comfortable living space that supports and assists people. In other words, through a series of daily activities involving walking, access, and seating,
It is possible to provide a comfortable living environment in which there is substantial kindness, contact and support that supports and assists the living activities associated with the decline in physical strength of the resident. Further, by using a wheelchair, adopting a layout in consideration of the locus and adopting furniture furniture, even in a life where a wheelchair is needed, it is possible to continue the conventional life without special consideration.
