DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mat for moving a body position used when a sick or elderly person sits on a bed with his upper body inclined or changes his posture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When a sick person or an elderly person eats on a bed, it is general that the head of the bed is inclined so that the upper body is slightly raised. If the time elapses in such a state, the body will slip down in the direction of the legs due to the weight, so the caregiver must raise the body each time, which not only puts a great burden on the caregiver, And the old man was feeling discomfort. In addition, in order to pull up the slipped body upward, conventionally a slippery nylon sheet etc. was laid under the sick or elderly body, and the caregiver pulled this nylon sheet etc. to the head side of the bed, A thin sheet such as a nylon sheet has a drawback in that it cannot support the body sufficiently and is unstable, and also has low strength, because the sheet comes close when pulled.

[0003] Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 62-145617 discloses a mat for moving a body position, which is used in a sickbed, in which a material that stops slipping on the front surface is used and a back surface is made of a slippery material. The conventional position shifting mat described above is laid down with the slippery back surface facing the bed under the patient's shoulder and waist, and one end thereof is pulled by a caregiver to roll the patient to the left or right. Can be changed. However, it cannot be used to lift a sick who has slipped to the legs, nor can it prevent the sick from slipping.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to prevent a sick or elderly person from falling down toward their legs when sitting on a bed with their upper body inclined. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a posture-changing mat which can be used for changing the posture.

[0005]

According to the position shifting mat of the present invention, a sheet having a small coefficient of friction is superposed on one surface of a quilting cloth having a width on which a human body can be placed and a length larger than the width. A first non-slip member is attached near one longitudinal end of the surface of the sheet, and a second non-slip member is attached to the other surface of the quilting cloth at a distance from the first non-slip member.

[0006] The body position shifting mat is folded in half with the sheet inward, and the first non-slip member projects beyond the second slip member to the side opposite to the bending line. One end is folded back so that the first non-slip member does not get caught on the bed and hinder the sliding of the overlapping portion. The posture-moving mat thus folded is placed such that the second non-slip member faces the bed.
And laying it between the flattened bed and the user lying thereon so that the folding line is positioned near the foot,
Is disposed near the user's shoulder.

[0007] Next, when the portion overlapping the body-position moving mat is pulled toward the user's head, the sheets that come into contact with each other slip and the user's body resting on the folded part of the body-position moving mat is pulled. Easy to pull up. Further, after raising the folded portion of the body position shifting mat until the second non-slip member is located under the upper back of the user, the folded portion of the first non-slip member is extended, and then the bed is folded. By tilting the head side,
A second non-slip member supports the heaviest upper back of the user, and the first and second non-slip members contact the bed to function as a non-slip of the body-positioning mat, and a first non-slip member. The stop member functions as a non-slip for the overlapping portion of the body position shifting mat, and prevents the user's body from slipping down.

Further, when changing the position of the user to prevent bedsores or to clean the bed, the seat is opposed to the bed, and the quilting cloth is opposed to the user. And pull it left and right to roll the user's body lying on it left and right. The first and second non-slip members may be rubber sheets having a large number of protrusions on the surface.

[0009]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a body position shifting mat 1 of the present invention has a rectangular quilting cloth 2 having a width on which a human body can be placed and a length larger than the width.
And a sheet 3 superposed on one surface thereof, a first anti-slip member 4 attached near one longitudinal end of the surface of the sheet 3, and another longitudinal end of the quilting cloth 2 near the other longitudinal end. , A second non-slip member 5 attached at a distance from the first non-slip member 4.

The quilting cloth 2 is suitable to be relatively thick such as used for a bed pad or the like, and is provided with a fray-preventing edge decoration 2 'along the outer peripheral edge thereof. The sheet 3 is formed of a tough material having a small coefficient of friction, such as a nylon sheet, and is polymerized over substantially the entire surface of the quilting cloth 2. The first non-slip member 4 and the second non-slip member 5 are made of a rubber sheet or the like having a large number of small protrusions on the surface, and are fixed over substantially the entire length of the quilting cloth 2 in the width direction. Note that the first anti-slip member 4 and the second anti-slip member 5 may be formed by welding many soft protrusions to the surface of the sheet 3 and the quilting cloth 2 instead of the sheet-like member.

The body position shifting mat 1 is used as follows. First, the sick or old man is laid on the flat bed 6. Next, the mat for body position movement 1 is folded in half with the bending line A at a position closer to the other end than the center in the length direction and the sheet 3 inward. Bending line A beyond the non-slip member 5
And one end of the body position shifting mat 1 is folded back so that the first non-slip member 4 is on the outside. As shown in FIG. 3, the folded body position moving mat 1 is placed such that the second non-slip member 5 faces the bed 6 and the bending line A is positioned near the user's foot. The second non-slip member 5 is placed between the bed 6 and the user so that the second non-slip member 5 is located near the shoulder of the user.

Next, when a portion (one end side) overlapping the body position moving mat 1 is pulled toward the user's head,
The body of the user placed thereon is pulled up near the head of the bed 6. At this time, since the user's body is placed on the relatively thick quilting cloth 2,
Even when force is applied, the body position shifting mat 1 is not squeezed and wrinkled, and the user's body is stably supported over a wide area. Further, since the sheets 3 that come into contact with each other are slippery and the first non-slip member 4 is folded outward and does not catch on the bed 6, a very strong force is not required to lift the user.

The folded portion of the body position shifting mat 1 is pulled up until the second non-slip member 5 is located below the upper back of the user, and then the bent portion of the first non-slip member 4 is extended to form the second non-slip member 4. The first non-slip member 4 is brought into contact with the bed 6. Next, as shown in FIG. 4, when the bed 6 is bent so that its head is inclined, the second non-slip member 5 supports the uppermost back of the heaviest user, and the first non-slip member The fourth and second non-slip members 5 function as non-slip of the body position shifting mat 1 with respect to the bed 6 and can prevent the user's body from slipping toward the legs. The bend angle of the bed 6 is 90 degrees and used for meals and the like, and 45 degrees and used for rest and the like after meals.

Further, between the bed 6 and the body of the user,
The body position moving mat 1 is inserted so that the seat 3 faces the bed 6, and the body position of the user is rolled right and left by pulling the body position moving mat 1 left and right, and the user is moved in the same manner as the conventional body position moving mat. You can also change the position. In addition, the length of the position shifting mat 1 can be changed as appropriate, and when the position shifting mat 1 is laid so as to prevent the sick or elderly man sitting on an inclined bed from slipping, the position shifting mat 1 It may be possible to reach the lower back of a sick or elderly person.

[0015]

According to the body position shifting mat of the present invention, the body position shifting mat is folded in two so that the sheets come into contact with each other, and one end in the length direction is placed so that the first non-slip member is on the inside. Fold it back, insert it between the flat bed and the sick or elderly body, and pull the overlying part toward the head, easily pulling the sick or old person supported on it to the head side Can be. Also, at this time, the sheets that have come into contact with each other are slippery, so that the burden on the caregiver can be reduced, and the sick or elderly person's body is supported by a relatively thick quilting cloth, so that it can move in a stable state.

Further, the second non-slip member is arranged under the upper back where the weight of the sick or elderly is added most, and
The non-slip member is stretched to its original state and brought into contact with the bed, and the post-movement mat is inserted between the bed and the body with the second non-slip member interposed between the post-position movement mat and the bed. When the bed is bent, it is possible to prevent the body of the sick or old man from slipping toward the legs. Also, insert a mat for body posture between the bed and the body of the sick or elderly so that a sheet with a low coefficient of friction faces the bed, and pull the mat for body posture to the left or right to roll the body of the sick or elderly to the left or right. In addition, the body position can be changed to prevent bedsores and clean.
