Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a diaper changing bed device used when changing a baby's diaper.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The bed for the diaper changing bed that is attached to the wall of the washroom, toilet, etc. at the station or other public facilities, department stores, shopping centers, etc., and is used when changing diapers for infants. There is a type in which the bed is pivotally attached so that the bed can be laid down in a substantially horizontal position when used.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

This type of diaper changing bed has its base attached to the wall surface of the building with anchor bolts, tapping screws, etc. However, in order to attach this, for example, a wall surface that can withstand a load of about 45 to 50 kg per 30 cm ^{2 in} any direction is required. Therefore, if the wall strength is not sufficient, there is a problem that it cannot be attached for safety during use.

In view of such conventional problems, the present invention can be installed safely and surely not only when the wall strength of a concrete wall or the like is sufficient but also when the wall strength of a mortar wall or the like is not sufficient. In addition to providing a bed device for changing diapers, it is equipped with a dust box for discarding diapers after use, so that there is no dead space and a narrow space such as a washroom can be effectively used. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bed device for changing diapers, which can reduce the number of times and can ensure sufficient safety.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problem] The present invention is directed to a vertical support stand 3 mounted on the wall surface 1 side so that the lower end contacts the floor surface 2, and a base portion mounted on the upper part of the support stand 3. 10 and a bed portion 11 pivotally attached to the base portion 10 so that the posture can be changed between a use posture D protruding forward from the base portion 10 and a folding posture U folded along the wall surface 1 side. It is true.

Further, the dust box 14 is arranged below the bed 11 in the use posture D. The dust box 14 also supports the bed portion 11 in the use posture D from below.

[0007]

[Action]

 Normally, the bed 11 is folded in the folding posture U. When replacing the baby's diaper, the bed 11 is tilted forward to a substantially horizontal use posture D, and the baby is laid on the bed 11. Then, replace the baby's diaper in that state.

At this time, the load W of the baby is downwardly applied to the bed portion 11, but since the bed portion 11 is attached to the support stand 3 via the base portion 10, the bed portion 11 is connected to the support stand 3 via the base portion 10. It acts as a tensile load on the wall surface 1 on the upper side and as a pressing load on the wall surface 1 on the lower side.

Therefore, as compared with the case where the base portion 10 is directly attached to the wall surface 1, the tensile load on the wall surface 1 can be reduced by that much, and even the wall surface 1 having relatively weak wall strength can be attached safely and securely. . Further, since the grounding portion 5 at the lower end of the support column 3 of the support stand 3 is in contact with the floor surface 2, a strong load is not downwardly applied to a fixture such as a tapping screw for fixing this to the wall surface 1.

An old diaper or the like after use may be thrown into the dust box 14 below the bed 11 and disposed of easily. Since the dust box 14 is arranged on the lower side of the bed portion 11, the lower side does not become a dead space, and a narrow space such as a washroom can be effectively used, and the both can be harmonized. Since the bed portion 11 is supported from below, the load on the hinge 26 is reduced, and an unexpected accident such as a fall of the bed portion 11 due to damage of the hinge 26 or the like is not caused.

It is provided. Further, a palate 62 pivotally supported by a pin 61 in the central part on the left and right sides so as to open and close and swing is attached to the insertion port 59.

In the above structure, the bed portion 11 of the diaper changing bed 9 is normally folded in the folding posture U 1 and is held in that state by the gas spring 13. When the diaper is used for changing the baby, first, the user holds the finger rest 41 of the side wall 27 of the bed 11 and pulls the bed 11 forward. Then, while resisting the gas spring 13, the bed portion 11 gently rotates forward around the axis of the hinge 26 and falls to the use posture D.

In this use posture D, the rear frame member 33 of the bed frame 28 comes into contact with the horizontal frame member 19 of the base frame 15 from the lower side, and the bed portion 11 becomes substantially horizontal. The biasing force of the gas spring 13 is set to such an extent that the bed portion 11 cannot rotate upward by itself.

When the bed 11 is in the use posture D, the baby is then placed on the bed 11 and laid down sideways, and the baby's body is fastened and stopped with the safety belt 12. Then, replace the baby's diaper in that state.

At this time, the load W of the baby is applied downward to the bed 11 as shown in FIG. However, since the bed part 11 is attached to the support stand 3 via the base part 10, a tensile load is applied to the wall surface 1 on the upper side of the support stand 3 via the support stand 3, and At the lower side, it acts as a pressing load against the wall surface 1. Therefore, as compared with the case where the base part 10 is directly attached to the wall surface 1, the tensile load on the wall surface 1 can be reduced by that much. And it can be installed securely.

Further, since the grounding portion 5 at the lower end of the support column 3 of the support stand 3 is in contact with the floor surface 2, the tapping screw 7 for fixing the support stand 3 to the wall surface 1 is used, and the lower end of the support stand 3 is set to the floor. No significant downward load is applied, as when floating from surface 2. Therefore, in this respect as well, wall strength is not so much required.

The old diaper after use, which is removed from the baby when changing the diaper, may be put into the dust box 14 below the bed 11 through the inlet 59, and the disposal thereof is easy. It should be noted that the used diapers and the like thrown in through the throwing port 59 enter the inner box 58 and accumulate.

When the replacement of the diaper is completed, the bed portion 11 is rotated upward around the axis of the hinge 26, and the bed portion 11 is folded along the base portion 10. At this time, since the biasing force of the gas spring 13 acts on the bed portion 11 in the folding direction, the bed portion 11 can be lightly folded.

For the diapers and the like accumulated in the inner box 58, remove the upper lid 60 of the outer box 57 with the bed portion 11 folded, pull out the inner box 58 upward, and then remove it from the inner box 58. Just throw it away. By arranging the dust box 14 on the lower side of the diaper changing bed 9 in this manner, the lower side of the diaper changing bed 9 does not become a dead space, and a narrow space such as a washroom can be effectively used, and It is possible to design in consideration of harmony between the diaper changing bed 9 and the dust box 14.

FIG. 11 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the grounding part 5 is extended rearward of the supporting column 4, and both the supporting column 4 and the grounding part 5 are reinforced by a reinforcing plate 63 from the side surface. is there. Such a support stand 3 is effective when there is a recess 64 or the like in the lower part of the wall surface 1. Also, if the length of the grounding part 5 is secured sufficiently and the strength of the supporting column 4 is also secured, the supporting stand 3 can be fixed by simply fixing the grounding part 5 to the floor surface 2 without fixing the supporting column 4 to the wall surface 1. It can also be mounted free-standing.

FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the bed portion 11 is supported from below on the upper surface of the outer box 57 of the dust box 14 in the use posture D. In this case, since the dust box 14 supports the bed portion 11, the burden of the hinge 26 can be reduced, and even if the hinge 26 is damaged, the bed portion 11 does not drop immediately and an unexpected accident occurs. It can be prevented and the safety is significantly improved.

The outer box 57 is provided with a charging port 59 and the like on the front side, and a cushion material 65 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper lid 60. In this case, a large opening may be provided in the lower portion on the front side of the outer box 57, and the inner box 58 may be inserted and removed through the opening.

In addition to the structure illustrated in each embodiment, the dust box 14 may be fixed to the support stand 3, or the dust box 14 itself may form a part of the support stand 3. It is also possible that the support stand 3 omits the grounding part 5 and the lower end of the column 4 directly contacts the floor surface 2. Further, the support stand 3 may be fixed to the wall surface 1 and the floor surface 2 by anchor bolts. In the case of the third embodiment, a slight gap may be secured between the bed portion 11 in the use posture D and the dust box 14 so that they do not come into direct contact with each other in a normal state.
