Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a patient upper body support assisting means in a bed or the like for holding the upper body when raising the back.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a tendency for multifunctional use in hospital beds as well as in home beds, and a mechanism for electrically starting to raise the back, raising the legs, and adjusting the elevation of the frame has been provided. Came. It can be said that such a tendency is preferable in that the labor of nurses and the like is insufficient, and that the bed for home use reduces the labor of the caregiver and the like. For example, in the electric floor undulation mechanism, the user himself / herself can adjust the undulation of the floor, so that it is not necessary to bother a nurse and a caregiver. On the other hand, when the floor part is woken up, the upper body becomes unstable, so a means for providing a fence or the like is used to prevent the body from falling sideways.

[0003]

However, since many of the fences are made of metal pipes or the like due to their strength and the like, it is painful to hit the body, and it is necessary to fix and secure the fences. A mechanism is needed. The present invention has been proposed from such a background, and has a simple structure that does not give a user a feeling of discomfort or pain, and is capable of effectively supporting the upper body, such as a bed. It is intended to provide a patient upper body support means in.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a bed or the like having a floor undulating mechanism, and a portion corresponding to the waist from the head side of a mattress placed on the floor frame. The base member is adapted to be attached to the base member, the pillow member is detachably provided on the upper end side of the base member, and the side guard pads are detachably provided near both sides of the base member. Further, the above-mentioned base member is composed of a sheet member that wraps the front surface and the back surface at a position corresponding to the waist from the head side of the mattress and is fixed to the mattress by a fixing means, and is located on the head side of the base member. The locking means for removably fixing the pillow member to the area to be attached, and the attachment surface for detachably attaching the side guard pads are laid on the surface of the base member near the both sides of the mattress. It is characterized by having done.

[0005]

The base member can be easily put on and fixed to the mattress. Then, the pillow member and the side guard pad are attached. If these pillow members and side guard pads are prepared in various shapes, they can meet the user's preference. Also, these pillow members,
Since the side guard pad is not composed of metal fittings, it can support the user's body in a buffered manner, and can be made to have no discomfort or pain.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a patient upper body support assisting means for a bed or the like according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to an embodiment. FIG. 1 shows a case where a patient upper body support assisting means 4 is attached to a mattress 3 on a floor frame 2 in a bed 1 having a floor undulating mechanism. The patient upper body support means 4 is the same as the mattress 3
The base member 5 is detachably attached from the end corresponding to the head side of the mattress 3, and the base member 5 is attached from the head side of the mattress 3 to a portion corresponding to the waist, and the upper end side of the base member 5. The pillow member 6 is detachably attached to the base member 5, and the side guard pads 7 are detachably provided near both sides of the base member 5.

The base member 5 is composed of a sheet member so as to wrap the front surface and the back surface of the mattress 3 from the head side to the waist portion. In the vicinity of the side, a mounting piece 8 carrying a hook-and-loop fastener is projectingly provided so as to engage the front side and the back side of the mattress 3 with each other (see FIGS. 2 and 3). Further, a locking member 9 for fixing the base member 5 so as not to shift with respect to the mattress 3 is attached to a portion of the base member 5 corresponding to the waist of the mattress 3.

On the base member 5, a locking means 10 for removably fixing the pillow member 6 is provided at a site located on the head side. Further, on the surface of the base member 5 at a position corresponding to the vicinity of both side surfaces of the mattress 3, engaging surfaces 11 that form surface fasteners are laid. The side guard pad 7 is attached to the attachment surface 11. That is, on the side guard pad 7 side, a fastening tool (not shown) that is fastened to the fastening surface 11 is provided.
Has been laid. The side guard pad 7
Are sewn by wrapping an appropriate cushioning material, and can have different shapes. Also,
In addition, the side guard pad 7 may have any structure, for example, a hollow body made of synthetic resin formed by blow molding and the surface is covered with a sheet member. Further, the pillow member 6 can also be constructed by sewing appropriate padding. In addition, the pillow member 6 is provided with a locking tool 12 corresponding to the locking means 10 in the region of the base member 5 located on the head side.

According to the patient upper body supporting means 4 in the bed or the like having the above structure, the base member 5 can be easily put on and fixed to the mattress 3. That is, by covering the front surface and the back surface side of the mattress 3 from the head side to the waist side of the mattress 3, the mattress 3 is attached by the mounting pieces 8 near the head side of the base member 5 and the waist side.
The front surface side and the back surface side of the base member 5 are engaged with each other, and the base member 5 is fixed to the mattress 3 at a position corresponding to the waist portion by the locking tool 9 so as not to be displaced (see FIG. 2). Then, the pillow member 6 is locked to the locking means 10 on the head side of the base member 5,
The side guard pads 7 are adapted to be engaged with the engagement surfaces 11 near both side surfaces of the base member 5. If the pillow member 6 and the side guard pad 7 have various shapes, it is possible to meet the preference of the user. As described above, since the pillow member 6 and the side guard pad 7 are not composed of metal fittings, they can support the user's body in a buffer manner, and the structure of the patient upper body support assisting means 4 is also simple. , Can be made uncomfortable and painless.
