Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a medical treatment bed suitable for a patient who can get up and stand up or sit down to eat, or a patient who needs a little help from a caregiver.
Or attach it to the side of your home care bed, etc.,
The present invention relates to a side guard of a bed that facilitates standing up of a patient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In medical treatment beds and home care beds, a fall prevention fence is usually removably attached to a longitudinal side surface of a frame on which a bed mat is placed. Conventionally, this kind of fall prevention fence is attached to or removed from the bed by the patient, but when the patient tries to walk down from the bed, put his feet on the floor from the part without the fall prevention fence and suddenly stand up. There must be. Patients who are not self-reliant, in most cases, are bedridden, with the exception of the caregiver, because they put all their weight on their feet.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a guard function required for a medical bed and a function that allows a patient who is forced to be bedridden as described above to stand up by himself. However, it also seeks to provide a side guard for the bed that can also be used as a table if necessary.

[0004]

The present inventor has solved the above problems by
For a side surface guard attached to the longitudinal side surface of the frame on which the bed mat is placed, one side of the shaft is attached to the frame attaching means and the support / rotating shaft provided on the attaching means. The structure is such that a cantilevered rotation protection fence is provided, and the other side has a side space that doubles as a table that can fall outside the bed.

Similarly, a side guard attached to the longitudinal side of the frame on which the bed mat is placed is provided with a cantilevered rotation protection fence for the support and rotation shaft. It was a side guard.

[0006]

The side guard of the present invention can use the side space that doubles as a table to widen a narrow bed as much as possible, so that the elbow can be raised. Then, the patient can turn the swing protection fence in the direction of walking from the side of the bed using the swing protection fence that is cantilevered with respect to the support post and the rotation axis, and stand up with it. it can. In addition, the table-use side space can also be used for eating and drinking. Since both the swivel protection fence and the side space that also serves as a table can be swung, it can be folded compactly within a single plane, and has a small volume even during the distribution process, in the stock state, or even in the state stored by the user. It is useful because it can be easily assembled (assembled) by mistake.

1 is a plan view of a side guard of a bed according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view, and FIG. 3 is a left side view. FIG. 4 is a perspective view when mounted on a bed. As is apparent from these figures, the present invention is used by being attached to the longitudinal side surface of the frame on which the bed mat is placed. Needless to say, it functions as a guard on the side surface of the bed, but for this reason, it stands up against the frame 1 of the bed with two support legs 2. The supporting legs 2 are fixed to the frame 1 of the existing bed by using the guard mounting holes 3 provided at predetermined intervals. For fixing, as an attachment means to the frame, an adjusting nut 4 capable of changing the vertical widths of the frame 1 and the support bar 6 of the bed with respect to the lower threaded portion of the support leg 2, and a bottom surface of the support leg 2 is screwed from the bottom surface of the frame 1. It is screwed with the fixing bolt 5 to be inserted.

A support bar 6 is bridged over the support legs 2 and 2, and a supporting column and a rotating shaft 7 is provided at one upper end thereof. The support rod / rotating shaft 7 is composed of a fixed portion 7a to the lower support bar 6 and a rotatable rotating portion 7b. The pipe end surface contact portion 7c between the fixed portion 7a and the rotating portion 7b is enlarged and shown in FIG. 4, but has a sawtooth meshing tooth. Both of these can be turned on and off by the handle 8. The handle 8 has a cam 8a at its base, and a tightening rod 9 is attached to this cam 8a. An upper end portion of a screw 10 inserted upward from an insertion hole formed in the support bar 6 is screwed into the lower portion of the tightening rod 9. Therefore, the handle 8 may be raised to make the column / rotating shaft 7 rotatable. The state of FIG. 2 is a state in which it cannot rotate. A rotation protection fence 9 is provided in a cantilever state on such a strut / rotation shaft 7.

A hinge 10a and a hinge 10b are provided at the other end of the support bar 6 with respect to the lower fixed portion 7a of the column / rotating shaft 7.
It is equipped with a side space 11 that doubles as a table that can be tilted out of the bed. The table-use side space 11 also serves as a protective fence. Normally, the lock pin 14 is inserted into the lock pin insertion holes 12 and 13 provided at the same position on the lower portion of the table-use side space frame and the support bar 6 as shown in FIG. Insert it through and fix it. When used as a side space or table, the lock pin 14 can be pulled out and tilted outward.

FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c) schematically show the usage state of the side guards of the bed of the above embodiment. (a) is an example of use as a normal protective fence. (b) shows a state in which the lock pin 14 is pulled out and the side space 11 that also serves as a table is laid down at the time of rising or eating, and (c) shows a state in which the patient turns the swing protection fence 9 toward the outside of the bed to walk. .

FIG. 6 shows a side surface guard according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is mounted on the side surface in the longitudinal direction of the frame on which the bed mat is placed, as in the above embodiment. In this example, although there is no side space that also serves as a table, a cantilevered rotation protection fence 9 is provided for the column and rotation shaft 7. It is useful as an auxiliary stay when rising.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a guard function required for a medical bed can be provided, and a patient who can stand up for a variety of reasons but must be bedridden can stand up by himself. In addition, it became possible to provide a convenient side guard that can be used to extend the bed space and raise it or use it on the table if necessary.
